AI Summary
This bill amends Title 58 (Oil and Gas) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to require the use of a traceable chemical additive, or "tracer," in the hydraulic fracturing fluid used to alter unconventional wells. The bill directs the Department of Environmental Protection to specify the type of tracer substance to be used, and requires that the tracer be able to be traced back to the specific operator who used it. The bill also requires the Environmental Quality Board to promulgate regulations necessary to implement this new tracer requirement.
