1 Overview of the Railroad Commission of Texas Site Remediation Section Heidi Bojes Toxic Substance Coordinating Committee Human Health Subcommittee Meeting June 21, 2006
2 Outline of Presentation History of Railroad Commission of Texas Railroad Commission Today Site Remediation Section Contacts
3 History of the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) RRC was established to regulate private railroads in RRC receives regulatory jurisdiction: Oil and gas production in 1919 Buses and trucks in 1931 Liquefied petroleum gas in 1939 Surface mining and reclamation in 1976 Alternative fuels research in 1991 Today, RRC no longer regulates buses and trucks and railroads (2005).
4 RRC Today Three elected commissioners Elizabeth Ames (Chairman); Michael Matthews; and Victor Carrillo. Commissioners serve six year overlapping terms.
5 RRC Today RRC consists of four regulatory divisions (Oil and Gas Division, Gas Services Division, Surface Mining, and Reclamation Division) that oversee: oil and gas industry gas utilities pipeline safety safety in the liquefied petroleum gas industry surface mining of coal and uranium
6 Oil and Gas Production in TX Texas is a top producer of oil and gas in the US. There are about 241,000 active oil (green) and gas (red) wells in Texas 1.7 million barrels/day 11.5 BCF of gas/day If Texas were a nation, it would rank as one of the top ten producers.
7 RRC s Oil and Gas Division It s statutory role is to 1) prevent waste of the state s natural resources; 2) protect the correlative rights of different interest owners; 3) to prevent pollution; and, 4) to provide safety in matters such as hydrogen sulfide.
8 RRC s Oil and Gas Division Oil and Gas Division activities include: Permitting/Production; Environmental Services; Field Operations; Oil Field Cleanup Program; Well Plugging Site Remediation
9 Oil and Gas Division Site Remediation Section 1. Oil Field Cleanup Program 2. Operator Cleanup Program 3. Voluntary Cleanup Program 4. Grants Program
10 Site Remediation 1. Oil Field Program Utilizes the Oil Field Cleanup Fund to remediate pollution of abandoned oil and gas sites. Funding comes from regulatory fees and bond fees paid by the Oil and Gas Industry. Abandoned sites become candidates when responsible party fails or refuses to take action, or is unknown, deceased or bankrupt. Cleanup prioritization is based on public health, safety, and the protection of the environment.
11 Site Remediation 2. Operator Cleanup Program Provides oversight of complex pollution cleanups preformed by the oil and gas industry. Complex sites include those that occur in sensitive environments and may require site specific cleanup levels based on risk. Currently, operator cleanup program oversees about 600 active and monitored cleanup sites.
12 Site Remediation 3. Voluntary Cleanup Program VCP provides administrative, technical, and legal incentives to encourage the cleanup of contaminated sites in Texas. Lenders, developers, owners, and operators cannot have caused or contributed to the contamination. Applies to waste cleanups under Railroad Commission jurisdiction. Offers the applicant a release of liability to the state. As a result, many unused or under used properties may be restored to economically productive or community beneficial use.
13 Site Remediation 4. Grants Program Brownfields Reponse Program (EPA) Program identifies Brownfields sites associated with E&P activities and promotes voluntary cleanup by providing funding for environmental assessments with little or no cost. Brownfields is general term used nationally to describe property whose redevelopment potential has been impaired due to real or perceived liability associated contamination.
14 Site Remediation 4. Grants Program Saltwater Seep Investigations Investigations conducted to identify and mitigate the source of saltwater contamination in certain creeks/rivers in Texas (Petronila Creek) Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) Research RRC conducted a sampling and analysis program to create a database that characterizes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in E&P waste and impacted soils in Texas at sensitive sites.
15 Site Remediation Rules/Guidance Water Protection Rule 3.14 Plugging Rule 3.30 MOU Between RRC & TCEQ 3.91 Cleanup of Soil Contaminated by a Crude Oil Spill 3.98 Standards for Management of Hazardous Oil & Gas Waste 4 Sub D Voluntary Cleanup Program 4 Sub F Oil & Gas NORM
16 Site Remediation Rules/Guidance The RRC does not have guidance or rules on risk-based standards of cleanup. The RRC will accept any recognized standard as long as human health and the environment are protected Most risk assessments submitted to the agency use the Texas Risk Reduction Program (TRRP).
