Bill Summary
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 inclusion of a traceable chemical additive, or "tracer," in the hydraulic fracturing fluid used to alter unconventional wells. The Department of Environmental Protection will specify the type of tracer substance that must be used, ensuring it can be traced back to the operator and does not endanger public health or the environment. The Environmental Quality Board is tasked with promulgating regulations to implement this new requirement, which will apply to hydraulic fracturing treatments performed on or after the effective date of the bill.
