SUMMARY:Shale Insight 2022
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland joins the Marcellus Shale Coalition for Shale Insight 2022\, September 27-29\, 2022. Shale Insight offers participants unprecedented interaction with industry-leading CEOs\, elected officials and thought leaders\, all of whom play a critical role in crafting the public policy and technical landscape that defines shale gas development around the world. Insightful technical and public affairs sessions\, national keynote addresses\, and networking receptions will provide attendees\, sponsors\, and exhibitors unique access to the industry’s most influential leaders and innovators. \nAttorneys Jim Curry and Kevin Garber will co-present “The Latest Hydrogen and CCS Developments and What They Mean for the Natural Gas Industry.” Hydrogen and carbon capture and sequestration have emerged as a potential solution to address unprecedented decarbonization demands from investors\, customers and governments. The U.S. Department of Energy will soon be reviewing applications and awarding grants for regional Hydrogen Hubs\, perhaps including one in Appalachia\, while private industry continues to actively explore the generation of hydrogen and its use for industrial\, transportation and other uses. Sequestering the carbon is a key component to the development and deployment of hydrogen as an energy source\, particularly in our region. This session will provide the latest developments on the status of IIJA review and funding of hydrogen hubs\, the generation of hydrogen and the market for off-takers\, CO2 and hydrogen pipeline regulation and permitting\, and primacy for UIC permitting of injection wells. \nAttorney Keith Coyle will be the moderator and Senior Director of Safety Chris Hoidal will be a co-panelist for “Pipeline Safety in the Biden Administration.” The Biden administration has issued several significant pipeline safety rules since coming to office in January 2021\, including new safety standards and reporting requirements for onshore gas gathering lines\, as well as new valve installation and rupture detection standards for gas\, hazardous liquid\, and carbon dioxide pipelines. The Administration is also developing new rulemaking proposals to establish enhanced leak detection and repair requirements for gas pipelines and address other congressional mandates. These new rulemakings\, along with the Administration’s focus on environmental issues\, have impacted the regulatory landscape and policy priorities of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)\, the federal agency charged with administering the nation’s pipeline safety program. This session will cover recent developments in pipeline safety and discuss the potential challenges and opportunities that operators can expect during the Biden administration. \nFor more information\, click here. \nJim Curry \nKevin Garber \nKeith Coyle \nChris Hoidal

SUMMARY:Harnessing Hydrogen: Exploring Local & Regional Opportunities in Appalachia
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland joins the Washington & Jefferson Center for Energy Policy and Management for its “Harnessing Hydrogen: Exploring Local & Regional Opportunities in Appalachia” symposium on Tuesday\, October 4\, 2022. Attorney Kevin Garber will be a co-panelist for “Fundamentals of Hydrogen Energy and Carbon Capture.” \nWhile hydrogen energy and carbon capture utilization/storage present a tremendous opportunity for the tri-state region\, the path forward is unclear. Several economic\, regulatory\, and technological challenges to development and deployment exist. Furthermore\, local and regional governmental bodies lack a knowledge base to assess the costs and benefits of the burgeoning industry. \n​Harnessing Hydrogen is a day-long conference that will feature individual talks\, panel discussions\, and interest-specific breakout sessions related to the development of hydrogen energy within the Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia area. The event will be held by the Center for Energy Policy & Management\, which strives to provide credible\, impartial\, and accessible information on the region’s most salient energy topics. \n​For more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:CCUS Projects & Environmental Law
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland joins EUCI for “CCUS Projects & Environmental Law\,” November 2-3\, 2022. Carbon capture\, sequestration\, utilization\, and storage (CCUS) will be essential in meeting net zero GHG emission goals. Although Congress has accelerated CCUS as a national decarbonization strategy with billions in new investments\, CCS projects still face many obstacles in the US\, and current federal environmental laws and regulations may often impede progress. The permitting and regulatory approvals needed for a CCUS project are complex and may require a multitude of federal\, state\, and local authorizations. The precise mix of environmental permits\, authorizations\, and/or reviews needed will be project specific. This course will equip you with the details needed to understand the environmental regulatory requirements and landscape for a CCUS project. \nGary Steinbauer \nEnvironmental Attorney Gary Steinbauer will present an “Introduction & Overview of Environmental Regulations Affecting CCUS.” The permitting of a CCUS project is complex and may require a combination of federal\, state\, and local permits or authorizations. For federal review\, a project may require Clean Air Act permits\, an Underground Injection Control permit\, and a Clean Water Act permit\, among others. For offshore projects\, a CCUS project will need to comply with the Marine Protection\, Research and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA) and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA). CCUS projects on federal lands\, supported by federal funds\, or that require certain federal permits and authorizations\, must also comply with NEPA\, Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)\, and the National Historic Preservation Act. CCUS developers must also navigate the complex patchwork of state and local laws and regulations. \nGary will also present “Air Quality.” The federal Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) requires reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) data and other relevant information from large GHG emission sources\, fuel and industrial gas suppliers\, and carbon oxide injection sites in the US. Depending on their size and location\, CCUS projects may also have to obtain certain CAA construction or operating permits. Carbon dioxide leakage from a CCUS project could result in violations of its applicable CAA permits.  This session will cover: \n\nGreenhouse Gas Reporting Program and associated CCUS reporting\nPotential Clean Air Act Permits needed for a CCUS project\n\nChris Kuhman \nPipeline Attorney Chris Kuhman will present “Pipeline Safety.” The Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has primary authority to regulate interstate carbon dioxide pipelines. The PHMSA’s Office of Pipeline Safety regulates the design\, construction\, operation\, maintenance\, and spill response planning for regulated pipelines. \nFor more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:Pipeline Safety Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Attorney Keith Coyle and Senior Director of Safety Chris Hoidal will present “What’s New in Pipeline Safety: Recent Changes to PHMSA’s Regulations” during the Marcellus Shale Coalition’s Pipeline Safety Seminar on Wednesday\, May 17\, 2023. \nThe significance of pipeline safety has grown dramatically in recent years\, primarily because of the development of the nation’s shale plays and the need for new infrastructure to get gas to market\, specifically in the northeast. This growth in development has spurred new regulations from The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and its state partners. \nThis seminar will include an update on the recent changes to the pipeline safety regulations\, including PHMSA’s new reporting requirements and safety standards for onshore gas gathering lines. Representatives from PHMSA and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission\, Public Utilities Commission of Ohio\, and West Virginia Public Service Commission will also discuss the important initiatives at the federal and state levels. Finally\, operators will provide their insights addressing pipeline safety issues in an era of rapidly evolving regulations. \nFor more information\, click here. \nKeith Coyle \nChris Hoidal

SUMMARY:West Virginia Underground Carbon Dioxide Sequestration & Storage Act
DESCRIPTION:Attorney Kip Power will give a presentation on the “West Virginia Underground Carbon Dioxide Sequestration & Storage Act” to the Women’s Energy Network’s West Virginia Chapter on Wednesday\, May 17\, 2023. \nIn 2022\, the West Virginia Legislature enacted the West Virginia Underground Carbon Dioxide Sequestration and Storage Act\, which became effective on May 30\, 2022. It is an important law\, designed as the beginning stages of a platform for the development of sustainable energy operations using existing natural resources in our State and to promote renewable energy projects based on emerging technologies in other areas. Federal and State developments since then have confirmed the need for such a statute and highlighted the need for further regulatory mechanisms to facilitate such projects in West Virginia. This presentation will focus on the provisions of the new law\, possible areas for refinement or expansion\, and other developments since its enactment. \nFor more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:EMLF’s 44th Annual Institute
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland joins the Energy & Mineral Law Foundation (EMLF) for its 44th Annual Institute\, June 18-20\, 2023. \nLitigation Attorneys Katrina Bowers\, Josh Snyder and Austin Rogers will present “Devil’s Advocate: Crossing the Line of Zealous Advocacy.” As zealous advocates\, attorneys dance on the blade of aggressive advocacy and persuasion.  This presentation will explore this delicate dance through the lens of real-life examples. \nPipeline Attorney Keith Coyle will present “New Federal Gathering Line Regulations.” The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued a final rule in November 2021 prescribing new safety standards and reporting requirements for onshore gas gathering lines.  In this session\, Keith\, a former PHMSA Attorney Advisor who represented two pipeline trade organizations during the rulemaking process and in subsequent litigation\, will provide an overview of the new requirements.  As part of his discussion\, he will review the criteria that determine whether an onshore gas gathering line meets the definition of a newly regulated Type C gathering line\, as well as the regulatory requirements that apply to these types of pipelines.  Keith will also cover the requirements that apply to reporting-only Type R gathering lines and some of the other key provisions in the new rules\, including the process for obtaining authorization to use composite pipe material in Type C lines. \nFor more information\, click here. \nKatrina Bowers \nKeith Coyle \nAustin Rogers \nJosh Snyder

SUMMARY:Understanding PFAS Training
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland joins the Marcellus Shale Coalition for its “Understanding PFAS Training” on Thursday\, June 22\, 2023. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that include PFOA\, PFOS\, GenX\, and many other chemicals that all contain fluorine. PFAS have been manufactured and used by a variety of industries for the production of many consumer products around the globe\, including the United States since the 1940s. In recent years\, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) have promulgated regulations\, guidance and new maximum contaminate levels (MCLs) in an attempt to reduce the use of these chemicals and increase environmental cleanup standards. This training will provide a general overview and understanding of the chemistry surrounding PFAS-related chemicals while discussing sampling and analysis. \nEnvironmental Attorney Matt Wood will present on “The Regulatory Landscape: Intersection of Federal and State Standards.” For more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:The Newly Finalized WOTUS Definition and How it Will Affect Your Operations
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Attorney Lisa Bruderly will present “The Newly Finalized WOTUS Definition and How it Will Affect Your Operations” to members of the Energy & Mineral Law Foundation (EMLF) on Thursday\, September 21\, 2023. The U. S. Supreme Court’s Sackett v. U.S. EPA decision\, issued in May 2023\, significantly narrowed the definition of “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) and limited the scope of federally-regulated waters and wetlands. A new regulatory definition of WOTUS\, based on Sackett\, became final on September 8th. During this webinar\, Lisa will discuss the Sackett decision\, the new regulatory definition of WOTUS\, and how these developments will impact the construction of new facilities and operation/maintenance of existing facilities. She will also explore the status of existing challenges to the prior definition of WOTUS and new challenges to the most recently-finalized definition.  For more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:2023 EMLF Fall Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Babst Calland joins the Energy & Mineral Law Foundation (EMLF) for its Annual Fall Symposium\, October 10-12\, 2023. \nPipeline Attorney Keith Coyle will present “PHMSA LDAR Rulemaking: What’s Proposed and What’s Next.” On May 18\, 2023\, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) published a proposed rule in the Federal Register that includes significant changes to the reporting requirements in 49 C.F.R. Part 191 and safety standards in 49 C.F.R. Parts 192 for gas pipeline facilities. PHMSA proposed these changes primarily to address certain provisions in the Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2020\, including a congressional mandate to establish new leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements for gas distribution lines\, transmission lines\, and certain gathering lines. In this session\, Keith will provide an overview of the key provisions in the proposed LDAR rule and discuss the next steps in the rulemaking process. He will also discuss the potential for subsequent administrative and judicial review of any final LDAR rules prescribed by PHMSA. For more information\, click here.
