Shaping Proposed Changes to Pennsylvania's Total Dissolved Solids

(8 pages).
Authors: Charles Abdalla and Joy Drohan. November 2009.
Summary: In
April 2009, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection announced plans to amend existing rules to
establish new water quality effluent standards for
wastewater high in total dissolved solids (TDS), including
those from Marcellus shale drilling operations and other
industries. New state water quality effluent standards for
TDS
and related constituents are proposed to be effective
January 1, 2011. This publication will introduce the
concept of TDS, review events that prompted the proposed
changes in regulation, explain the proposed changes, and
explain how, where, and why the public can submit comments
on the proposed regulations. The deadline for public
comments on the
proposed changes is February 5, 2010. |
