Hughes, EPCAMR Executive Director<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you are all aware, even with the Title IV funding from the Surface\u00a0\u00a0 Mining Control and Reclamation Act, there isn&#8217;t enough money to totally\u00a0\u00a0 clean up Pennsylvania&#8217;s immense AMD\/AML problems.\u00a0 Our challenges far outweigh available resources.\u00a0 No one organization or government agency can do it alone.\u00a0 We as a community have been very well aware of this \u00a0for quite some time.\u00a0 Many in our community think it&#8217;s about time that\u00a0\u00a0we start seeing AMD as a resource.<\/p>\n<p>EPCAMR and others have thought outside of the box and are selling the iron oxide as a raw pigment on a small scale for now, but it could blossom into a viable full-blown recycling process and business to support itself in the future, given some working capital and investment by the private sector. EPCAMR is also in the process of evaluating the integrity and estimated volumes of mine water that is contained within underground multi-colliery hydrogeologic units, called mine pool complexes throughout the entire Anthracite Region and in parts of the Northern Tier (Sullivan County, Bernice Mine) and has even developed several 3D models of the underground workings and the coal veins and barrier pillars between them. if they remain. The Wyoming Valley and the Lackawanna Valley are on EPCAMR horizon to be completed as funding allows the Staff to continue working on its development. This mine pol water is an untapped reservoir. Billions of gallons of water, unused. Does it come with its own set of risks? Yes. What is the level at which the water can be drawn down in certain mine pools safely without impacting the surface potentially? This needs to be looked at further. More detailed interpretation and analyses of our historic mine maps and geologic cross sections need to be reviewed. Does the water quality vary at different depths in the mine pools? EPCAMR believes that it does and further studies are necessary to determine just how bad from a treatment standpoint or industrial use application, such as the Shale Gas Industry. What interactions can occur within the Marcellus play when AMD is introduced into the hydraulic fracturing picture? We&#8217;re not certain. Would we like to explore the possibilities? Sure, in a controlled environment.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania&#8217;s Abandoned Mine\u00a0\u00a0Reclamation (AMR) community has a long history of working cooperatively\u00a0with industry, government, and others for our common good.\u00a0 Our\u00a0\u00a0community, perhaps more than any other environmental movement, has\u00a0understood the value of working together and partnering with industry. We&#8217;re celebrating 15 years in August of this community, as we continue to coordinate the longest running State-wide Conference on Abandoned Mine Reclamation, in State College, PA on August 8-10th, at the Ramada Inn. See <a title=\"2013 PA AMR Conference\" href=\"http:\/\/www.treatminewater.com\">www.treatminewater.com<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n<p>Several years ago, some forward thinking individuals thought to\u00a0encourage the use of AMD by the shale gas industry.\u00a0EPCAMR supported this idea and encouraged groups like the SRBC to do the same.\u00a0\u00a0That idea\u00a0progressed and more and more people thought it was a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after the DEP began crafting the whitepaper, &#8220;Utilization of\u00a0\u00a0Mine Influenced Water for Natural Gas Extraction Activities &#8220;,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 conversations ensued about liability in using AMD.\u00a0 Representatives from\u00a0\u00a0the shale gas industry were concerned that liability, from their\u00a0\u00a0 standpoint, would be one of the issues that would stand in the way of\u00a0\u00a0 widespread use of AMD for fracking.<\/p>\n<p>The use of AMD by the shale\u00a0\u00a0gas industry holds a lot of potential for our community.\u00a0 Making\u00a0lemonade out of lemons, it could be a way for watershed groups and\u00a0\u00a0Conservation Districts to secure operation and maintenance funds for\u00a0\u00a0their AMD treatment systems and, quite possibly, to work with industry\u00a0to secure funding to construct additional treatment systems.\u00a0 Another\u00a0plus for this idea is that our existing potable water supplies and our\u00a0\u00a0healthy streams and rivers can be conserved. Why continue to pull water from clean streams when AMD water might just as well be as suitable with a little treatment?<\/p>\n<p>Are there hurdles\u00a0\u00a0to the use of AMD by the shale gas industry?\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 According to\u00a0\u00a0experts in the shale gas industry, sulfate concentrations in AMD\u00a0and\u00a0the issue of liability are the two biggest hurdles that need to be\u00a0\u00a0overcome.\u00a0 Is this some sort of cure-all for our AMD problems?\u00a0 No way.\u00a0\u00a0However, it is an opportunity that needs to be explored.\u00a0 As we hear\u00a0\u00a0many times, &#8220;It&#8217;s another tool in the tool box&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>During the last\u00a0\u00a0legislative session, the PA\u00a0 General Assembly considered SB 1346,\u00a0sponsored by Senator Kasunic,\u00a0which limited liability for those\u00a0\u00a0 involved in using AMD for shale gas operations or for any other industry\u00a0for that matter.\u00a0 The bill never got the traction it needed to\u00a0\u00a0 progress.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of liability protection for using AMD\u00a0\u00a0 by industry has been resurrected in this session as Senate Bill #411,\u00a0\u00a0 &#8220;An Act Amending Title 27 (Environmental Resources) of the Pennsylvania\u00a0Consolidated Statutes, further providing for definitions, for\u00a0eligibility and project inventory, for landowner liability limitation\u00a0\u00a0 and exceptions, for project liability limitation and exceptions and for\u00a0exceptions.&#8221;, again sponsored by Senator Kasunic and endorsed by 15\u00a0\u00a0other legislators.<\/p>\n<p>SB411 is currently on the table in the Senate.\u00a0 It may be up for a vote this week. People should look closely at this bill and read the language very carefully.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, there is a lot of push back from environmental groups\u00a0\u00a0outside of our AMR community regarding the use of AMD by the shale gas\u00a0\u00a0 industry.\u00a0 To our knowledge, they have not proposed any alternate plans\u00a0\u00a0for providing operation and maintenance funding to ensure the perpetual\u00a0treatment of AMD or alternate ways to find construction funding to build\u00a0\u00a0AMD treatment systems.\u00a0 Most have not been instrumental in providing\u00a0\u00a0solutions to help the AMR community achieve its goal, they simply wish\u00a0\u00a0to stop fracking and that is their right.<\/p>\n<p>Now is a very good time for you,\u00a0who are out\u00a0in the trenches working on AMD treatment and support the AMR community,\u00a0to weigh in on the issue and have your voice heard by the General\u00a0Assembly, both on the use of AMD by industry and the importance of\u00a0\u00a0 protecting watershed groups, Conservation Districts, and their partners\u00a0from liability as they seek to find innovative ways to secure operation\u00a0and maintenance funding for their treatment systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A quick email to your legislator or perhaps a phone call to his or her office will ensure that they hear your voice.\u00a0 Send an email to your legislators and let them know how you feel.\u00a0 To find the contact information for your legislator, go to:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.legis.state.pa.us\/cfdocs\/legis\/home\/findyourlegislator\/index.cfm?CFID=38652480&amp;CFTOKEN=67940687\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.legis.state.pa.us\/<wbr \/>cfdocs\/legis\/home\/<wbr \/>findyourlegislator\/index.cfm?<wbr \/>CFID=38652480&amp;CFTOKEN=67940687<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>To see the text of Senate Bill 411, go to:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.legis.state.pa.us\/cfdocs\/billinfo\/billinfo.cfm?syear=2013&amp;sind=0&amp;body=S&amp;type=B&amp;BN=0411\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.legis.state.pa.us\/<wbr \/>cfdocs\/billinfo\/billinfo.cfm?<wbr \/>syear=2013&amp;sind=0&amp;body=S&amp;type=<wbr \/>B&amp;BN=0411<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>To see DEP&#8217;s whitepaper on the use of AMD by the shale gas industry, go here:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/files.dep.state.pa.us\/Mining\/Abandoned%20Mine%20Reclamation\/AbandonedMinePortalFiles\/MIW\/Final_MIW_White_Paper.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/files.dep.state.pa.us\/<wbr \/>Mining\/Abandoned%20Mine%<wbr \/>20Reclamation\/<wbr \/>AbandonedMinePortalFiles\/MIW\/<wbr \/>Final_MIW_White_Paper.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>For additional articles on the issue, go to these links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stateimpact.npr.org\/pennsylvania\/2013\/03\/12\/using-abandoned-mine-drainage-to-frack\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/stateimpact.npr.org\/<wbr \/>pennsylvania\/2013\/03\/12\/using-<wbr \/>abandoned-mine-drainage-to-<wbr \/>frack\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stateimpact.npr.org\/pennsylvania\/2013\/01\/10\/mine-reclamation-group-seek-allies-in-natural-gas-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/stateimpact.npr.org\/<wbr \/>pennsylvania\/2013\/01\/10\/mine-<wbr \/>reclamation-group-seek-allies-<wbr \/>in-natural-gas-industry\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stateimpact.npr.org\/pennsylvania\/2013\/01\/09\/pennsylvanias-dep-offers-acid-mine-drainage-water-to-drillers\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/stateimpact.npr.org\/<wbr \/>pennsylvania\/2013\/01\/09\/<wbr \/>pennsylvanias-dep-offers-acid-<wbr \/>mine-drainage-water-to-<wbr \/>drillers\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Andy McAllister, WPCAMR Regional Coordinator, with additions by Robert E.
