On March 14, the Attorney General opened another investigation into Energy Transfer/Sunoco into potential environmental crimes related to the Energy Transfer/Sunoco pipeline that leaked petroleum into household wells in Upper Makefield Township, Bucks County. EnvironmentalProtection Agency. Read more here.]
On March 20, the Department of EnvironmentalProtection told the Oil and Gas Technical Advisory Board the US Department of the Interior has "withdrawn" the Orphan Oil and Gas Well Regulatory Improvement Act Grant Program designed to help states strengthen their programs, in particular to prevent future oil and gas well abandonments.
By: Lesley Foxhall Pietras On August 8, 2011, the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) published a far-reaching Clean Air Act rule intended to address the interstate transport of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from upwind to downwind states. See 76 Fed. 48208 (Aug. Tribune, Sept. See David E.
We founded the Environmental Health Institute in 2007. So when this industry and its drilling took off in the late otss, you know, 2009, 2010, we were sort of in the right place at the right time. And we were charged with evaluating how environmental exposures could be affecting Geisinger's patients.
Environmental hazards include spills, fires and explosions leading to polluting streams and drinking water. Also, air releases of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as methane, benzene, xylene, propane, and butane gas increases risks to human’s health, welfare, and safety.
This contamination led to multiple Dimock residents suffering from impacts to their own personal water supplies, including the explosion of Norma Fiorentino’s drinking water well in January 2009. In order to supply their homes with this necessity, residents had to travel miles to pick up drinking water.
By 2009, a study by Chinese scientists found that cadmium was going into China’s topsoil at around 0.004mg/kg per year. A technician at Yonker EnvironmentalProtection Company in Hunan takes soil samples collected during the 2016 project to be analysed. Rapid acidification. meaning a 2.2-fold fold increase in acidity.
(fracking) to extract natural gas from shale rock formations deep within the earth has raised many public health and environmental issues in the past few years. These issues range from potential water contamination, airpollution, noise, dust, truck traffic, groundwater spills, methane emission leaks, and even earthquakes.
On November 14, the Department of EnvironmentalProtection discovered evidence of a continuous wastewater release at the Parsons and Warrant 566 conventional oil well sites in Eldred Township, McKean County owned by Charles T. Wandover, Sr. and produced by Charles A. Wandover, Jr., according to DEP. Decrease To 31.2%
In January 2009, DEP ordered then Cabot Oil & Gas, the company that drilled in the shale gas wells, to cease all fracking operations in Susquehanna County to conduct an evaluation of its fracking operations. Pennsylvania American Water will submit an aquifer test plan to the Department of EnvironmentalProtection this spring.
Based on these assurances and promises to “take all steps necessary to abate and remediate” any harms they did cause, Bryan Latkanich signed a gas lease agreement with Chevron on December 7, 2009.

Agencies tasked with protecting public health and the environment, such as DOH [Department of Health] and the DEP [Department of EnvironmentalProtection], have pointed out that they lacked adequate resources to conduct the full breadth of their responsibilities. We founded the Environmental Health Institute in 2007.
The US Energy Information Administration is forecasting the wholesale price of gas to reach its highest level since the winter of 2009-2010 in inflation-adjusted terms.
In 2012, the company became infamous again when it unsuccessfully sued Ben-Jei Tsuang, a professor at the Department of Environmental Engineering in National Chun Hsing University, who published a paper linking high cancer rates in Mailiao, Taiwan, to toxic dioxin and heavy metals airpollution from the Six Naphtha Cracking plant.
The Heritage Foundation’s blueprint—Project 2025—to dramatically alter the US EnvironmentalProtection Agency should concern you. If anything, since the original 2009 Endangerment Finding was issued, the science on climate change has only become more dire, as have the observed impacts of costly and harmful climate damages.

EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) in Kentucky v. The case involves EPAs 2024 Vehicle Standards that set new airpollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for model year 2027 through 2032 Light- and Medium-Duty Vehicles, which have been challenged by states and industry groups.
But in this blog post, I unpack an aspect of the decision where I think it was more of a mixed bag: the court’s treatment of the international airpollution provision of the Clean Air Act, Section 115. This language is nearly identical to that of Clean Air Act Section 202(a), which the Supreme Court held in Massachusetts v.
Among the many attacks in President Trumps Day 1 Executive Order on unleashing American (fossil) energy , is a directive to EPA administrator Zeldin to reevaluate the agencys bedrock 2009 scientific determination of the harms caused by heat-trapping emissions and submit recommendations within 30 days (i.e. this week).
emissions in the RGGI region would have been approximately 24 percent higher in 2015 but for the program, which took effect in 2009. [5]. AB 32 directed the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the state’s airpollution regulator, to implement a cap-and-trade program, which went into effect in 2013. [51]. note 2 at 22.

EPA , the United States EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) has regulated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act. While the Clean Air Act (CAA) has been amended multiple times since 1970, this basic requirement has remained untouched. billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.
Outside of bird protection acts of the early 20 th century, protections for water, air and the atmosphere are a late 20 th -century development, created in the wake of Rachel Carson’s 1962 treatise on pesticides, Silent Spring. Trump is out of office, but he left behind a 6-3 conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court.

Section 111 requires EPA to establish standards of performance for certain categories of stationary sources that “cause[ ], or contribute[] significantly to, airpollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.”
Lee Zeldin was full of pablum in his January Senate confirmation hearing to run the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA). Also last week, the news broke that Zeldin is urging the White House to strike down the 2009 EPA finding that global warming gases endanger public health and the environment.
