Bill Summary
An Act amending Title 58 (Oil and Gas) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in development, providing for hydraulic fracturing fluid tracer.
AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania's oil and gas laws to require the use of a traceable tracer substance in the hydraulic fracturing fluid used to alter unconventional wells. The Department of Environmental Protection will specify the type of tracer substance required, which must be able to identify the specific operator and not endanger public health or the environment. The Environmental Quality Board will promulgate regulations to implement this new requirement, which will apply to hydraulic fracturing performed on or after the effective date of the bill.
