SUMMARY:MSC Pipeline Safety Seminar: PHMSA Rulemaking Update
DESCRIPTION:In April 2016\, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) published a long-anticipated rulemaking proposal for gas gathering and transmission lines. More than four years in the making\, the proposed rules would significantly expand PHMSA’s jurisdiction over gas gathering lines and add several new requirements to the agency’s regulations for gas transmission lines. Many of these proposals respond to congressional mandates and recommendations issued by the National Transportation Safety Board. In June 2016\, President Obama also signed the Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2016\, or PIPES Act\, which reauthorizes PHMSA’s pipeline safety program through 2019. The PIPES Act contains several noteworthy provisions\, including a new rulemaking mandate for underground gas storage facilities and a provision authorizing PHMSA to issue industry-wide emergency orders if an unsafe condition or practice presents an imminent hazard to health\, property\, or the environment. Finally\, PHMSA is working to finalize a number of other rulemaking proposals and initiatives before the Obama Administration draws to a close in January 2017. \nIn order to better understand the implications of the proposed rulemakings and new provisions in the PIPES Act\, the seminar given by the Marcellus Shale Coalition in conjunction with its Midstream and Pipeline Committee will feature a series of presentations on current issues in pipeline regulation and operations\, as well as a roundtable discussion led by a panel of industry experts and government officials. These presentations will target the impacts that these proposed rulemakings will have on the pipeline and midstream sector developments in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays. \nPHMSA Rulemaking and Legislative Update\nFor more information click here. \nKeith Coyle \nJames Curry \nBrianne Kurdock

SUMMARY:Air & Waste Management Association AMS Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland Shareholder\, Jean Mosites will be presenting at the Air & Waste Management Association\, Allegheny Mountain Section Luncheon on November 10\, 2016. \nIn 1978\, EPA’s first proposed hazardous waste regulations under RCRA contained a carve-out for “oil and gas drilling muds” and “production brines” exempting them from storage\, treatment and disposal standards to which hazardous wastes were subject.  EPA justified the classification because such wastes were high in volume and low in toxicity.  In 1980\, RCRA was amended to exempt drilling fluids\, produced waters\, and other wastes associate with the exploration\, development or production of oil and gas\, pending study and determination by EPA\, which subsequently determined that \nBabst Calland Shareholder\, Jean Mosites will be presenting at the Air & Waste Management Association\, Allegheny Mountain Section Luncheon on November 10\, 2016. \nIn 1978\, EPA’s first proposed hazardous waste regulations under RCRA contained a carve-out for “oil and gas drilling muds” and “production brines” exempting them from storage\, treatment and disposal standards to which hazardous wastes were subject.  EPA justified the classification because such wastes were high in volume and low in toxicity.  In 1980\, RCRA was amended to exempt drilling fluids\, produced waters\, and other wastes associate with the exploration\, development or production of oil and gas\, pending study and determination by EPA\, which subsequently determined that regulation under RCRA subtitle C was not warranted.  EPA\, however\, has recently been challenged by a coalition of NGO’s alleging that EPA failed to perform required triennial reviews required under subtitle D of RCRA. \nThis presentation will address the scope of the exemption as it has existed and evolved since 1988\, consider various liability scenarios for the handling of such waste under applicable law\, and review some of the implications of current legal challenges.

The conference will provide timely legal updates on important litigation\, transactional and regulatory issues being experienced and addressed by energy attorneys. \nThe Big Reach:  What You Need to Know about PHMSA’s Mega-Rule for Gas Gathering and Transmission Lines\nBabst Calland Attorney Keith Coyle will present on Wednesday\, September 7\, 2016. Earlier this year\, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) published a long-anticipated rulemaking proposal for gas gathering and transmission lines. More than four years in the making\, the proposed rules would significantly expand PHMSA’s jurisdiction over gas gathering lines and add several new requirements to the gas transmission line regulations in response to recent congressional mandates and National Transportation Safety Board recommendations. A former PHMSA attorney advisor and member of the Pennsylvania Governor’s Pipeline Infrastructure Task Force\, Keith will discuss the implications of PHMSA’s rulemaking proposal\, which arguably represents the most comprehensive overhaul of the federal gas pipeline safety program in the four decades since its creation. \nFor more information on the event or to register\, click here.

DESCRIPTION:The Northeast & Canada Petrochemical Construction Conference (June 27-28\, Pittsburgh) specifically focuses on the planned 2nd wave of Petrochemical mega projects in the North East US and Canada region. The shale gas boom in North America has transformed petrochemical manufacturers in the US & Canada from high-cost producers of key petrochemicals and resins to some of the lowest-cost producers globally\, second only to the Middle East\, ushering in a wave of new ethylene capacity construction. \nKathryn A. Klaber\, CEO\, The Klaber Group\, along with a panel representing leading government agencies\, will present “Navigating Regulatory and Permitting Issues in the Northeast Region” on Monday\, June 27\, 2016. This presentation will focus on up-to-date information on permitting and regulations for petrochemical facility development\, how the federal\, state\, and local governments plan to work with the petrochemical industry to support further growth\, and how to approach both the federal and state permitting process so you can successfully overcome common pitfalls in project approval.

SUMMARY:Energy & Mineral Law Foundation 37th Annual Institute
DESCRIPTION:Don Bluedorn \nSelling a Former Coal-fired Electric\nGenerating Station\nBabst Calland attorneys Justin D. Ackerman and Donald C. Bluedorn II will discuss some of the practical legal issues associated with selling a former coal-fired electric generating station\, with a particular focus from the seller’s perspective. Justin Ackerman will discuss the primary commercial issues in the transaction and some of the typical seller and buyer goals. Don Bluedorn will then discuss some of the unique environmental regulatory issues in the transaction\, including the application of US EPA’s CCR (coal combustion residuals) Rule which was finalized in 2015. \n\nKevin Garber \nRecent Developments in Oil and Natural Gas Wastewater Regulation\nThe management of flowback\, produced fluid\, and other oil and gas wastewater continues to be a significant industry concern as the pace of new drilling slows with lower natural gas prices.  The presentation by Kevin J. Garber and Michael K. Reer summarizes federal and state regulatory initiatives with the potential to make oil and natural gas wastewater treatment and/or disposal more heavily regulated.  With respect to wastewater treatment\, suggested topics of conversation include  EPA’s proposal to formally prohibit publicly owned water treatment plants from accepting wastewater from unconventional wells\, EPA’s ongoing study of the centralized wastewater treatment industry and operator handling of wastewater\, EPA’s draft hydraulic fracturing assessment\, and the recently adopted amendments to Pennsylvania’s Chapter 78 as they apply to wastewater management.  Wastewater disposal topics include EPA’s new guidance on reducing the risk of induced seismicity\, the U.S. Geological Survey’s preliminary model for forecasting induced seismic events\, and the States First primer on managing permit conditions to reduce the risk of induced seismicity.
