Environmental Proceedings
−Removed: Our subsidiary, Range Resources –
−Removed: Appalachia, LLC, was notified by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that it intends to assess a civil penalty under the Clean Streams Law and the 2012 Oil and Gas Act in connection with one well in Lycoming County and ordered us to conduct certain remedial work and monitoring to prevent methane and other substances from allegedly escaping the gas well into the surrounding environment including into soil, groundwater, streams and other surrounding water sources.
−Removed: DEP initially issued an order specifying its demands to the subsidiary on May 11, 2015.
−Removed: We appealed the order and the appeal was subsequently settled and discontinued whereupon we agreed to conduct certain, limited remedial work at the one well and continue monitoring water sources in the area and DEP did not assess any fines at that time.
−Removed: Thereafter, on January 13, 2020, DEP issued a new order regarding the same one well in Lycoming County which set forth similar allegations and demands as set forth above.
−Removed: This new order was issued despite considerable data and evidence presented to DEP over the course of the investigation that this one well has not been nor is currently the source of methane in the environment nor any water supplies, but rather the methane existed in the environment before the commencement of our operations.
−Removed: We appealed the January 2020 order and ultimately resolved the appeal by settlement on April 29, 2022 with DEP that includes a one-time payment to DEP of $1.0 million and separate funds totaling $850,000 to be used for water treatment system costs.
−Removed: Range will also plug the well at issue, which never produced.
−Removed: While Range ultimately resolved this matter with DEP, the evidence and expert testimony fully supports that this one well in Lycoming County was not the cause of methane in the groundwater.
From time to time, we receive notices of violation from governmental and regulatory authorities in areas in which we operate relating to alleged violations of environmental statutes or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
−Removed: While we cannot predict with certainty of whether these notices of violation will result in fines and/or penalties, if fines and/or penalties are imposed, they may result in monetary sanctions, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000.
+Added: cannot predict with certainty of whether these notices of violation will result in fines and/or penalties, if fines and/or penalties are imposed, they may result in monetary sanctions, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000.
We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business.
