3 Water Sources Statutes Oil and Gas Act, the act of December 19, 1984 (P.L. 1140, No. 223). The Clean Streams Law, the act of June 22, 1937 (P.L. 1987). Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C et seq. (Clean Water Act). Water Resources Planning Act, the act of December 16, 2002 (P.L. 1776, No. 220), 27 Pa. C.S. 3118(b). Great Lakes St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact, the act of July 4, 2008 (P.L. 526, No. 43), 32 P.S et seq.
4 Water Sources Regulations 25 Pa. Code Chapter 78 (Oil and Gas Wells). 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 96 (Water Quality Standards and Water Quality Standards Implementation). 25 Pa. Code Chapter 110 (Water Resources Planning).
5 Water Sources Policy Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory (PNDI) Policy (ID# ). Locational Data Policy (ID# ). Water Quality Antidegradation Implementation Guidance (ID# ). Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) Guidelines For Using and Determining Passby Flows and Conservation Releases for Surface Water and Groundwater Withdrawal Approvals, Policy No , (Short Title: SRBC Passby Flow Guidelines). SRBC Aquifer Testing Guidance, Policy No PA/MD In-stream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM).
6 Water Sources - Interstate Commissions The DRBC and SRBC have each determined that Marcellus Shale gas well drilling and water use activities trigger their respective regulatory reviews. Both SRBC and DRBC Compacts expressly provide that state and compact activities should be coordinated.
7 Water Sources Water Management Plans The Department issues natural gas well permits under the Oil and Gas Act, which requires compliance with other laws administered by the Department. Pennsylvania case law indicates that diminution of water resources can be pollution. The Department requires the operator to demonstrate that the withdrawal and use of water will not violate the Clean Streams Law. This demonstration is made through the submission and approval of a Water Management Plan in connection with the gas well permit.
8 Site Development E&S Controls Oil and Gas Act, December 19, 1984, P.L. 1140, the act of December 19, 1984 (P.L. 1140, No. 223). The Clean Streams Law, the act of June 22, 1937 (P.L. 1987).

Existing uses are protected when the Department makes a final decision on any permit or approval for an activity that may affect a protected use. Existing uses are protected based upon the Department s evaluation of the best available information (which satisfies Department protocols and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures) that indicates the protected use of the waterbody.
16 Dams and Impoundments Oil and Gas Act, the act of December 19, 1984 (P.L. 1140, No. 223). The Clean Streams Law, the act of June 22, 1937 (P.L. 1987).
