Mine Subsidence Found Under Compressor Station Construction Site
Hyperion Midstream LLC - Incident: Filling Mine Subsidence Void At Compressor Station Construction Site
On March 7, Olympus Energy/Hyperion Midstream LLC notified DEP it found an abandoned coal mine subsidence void under the construction site for its Guardian Natural Gas Compressor Station off Wilderness Road in Trafford, Penn Township, Westmoreland County, according to DEP Oil and Gas Program inspection reports.
Olympus/Hyperion said they had been aware of the “potential to encounter subsidence at Guardian because of the extensive geotechnical work that has been done on the site,” according to DEP’s report.
The DEP permit for the compressor site required Olympus/Hyperion to notify the agency “immediately by phone” if geologic formations or soil conditions are encountered that might cause pollution or if active or abandoned deep mines are encountered.
Olympus/Hyperion submitted a geotechnical report to DEP’s Oil and Gas Program and the Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation on the mine void with a proposal for how to fill it in and prevent future mine subsidence.
A diagram submitted to DEP shows the mine void is narrow at the top but extends down to an old room-and-pillar mine whose roof has partially collapsed creating a void.
The report recommends carefully monitoring the entire construction site for additional mine subsidence activity and to institute subsidence mitigation measures as needed.
On March 21, DEP notified Olympus/Hyperion its plan to fill in the void was approved.
Explosion & Fire At Conventional Gas Well
Kriebel Natural Gas Co LLC - Violations: Wastewater Release
On March 19, 2025 DEP inspected the RWS Development 001 conventional well in Manor Borough, Westmoreland County in response to a notification of an explosion and fire at the well site March 19 with the Manor Volunteer Fire Department, Westmoreland City Fire Department and the well owner.
The conventional well, owned by Kriebel Natural Gas Co., LLC, exploded and caught fire shortly before 1:00 p.m. on March 19, according to the Manor Volunteer Fire Department Facebook page.
DEP arrived on the scene just before 2:30 p.m. and met with the Manor Volunteer Fire Department, Westmoreland City Fire Department and representatives of the well owner to help assess the site to determine any environmental impacts..
At the time of DEP’s arrival, the well owner was attempting to shut down a gas leak from the well casing annulus and remove the remaining wastewater from a damaged storage tank at the well.
DEP said in its inspection report “It appears that a complete [wheel] rim set with a brake drum and tires had come off a trailer being hauled down [the road] which then came in contact with the well.
“That impact broke off the [well] casing annulus wing from the wellhead and caused the escaping gas to then ignite.”
The first responders reported using 3,200 gallons of water mixed with Dawn dish soap to extinguish the fire.
Damage to the well equipment included a melted hole in the wastewater storage tank that leaked fluid around the tank and down a drainage way for about 180 feet, but there did not appear to be an impact to a stream, DEP said.
Read DEP’s inspection reports for more information and photos: DEP Inspection Part I and DEP Inspection Part II.
Visit the Manor Volunteer Fire Department and Westmoreland City Fire Department Facebook pages for more.
DEP issued violations related to the wastewater release and requested a response by April 5. DEP inspection report Part 1. DEP inspection report Part 2.
