EPA Looks to Renew Permit for Beaver County, PA Injection Well

Unlike Ohio, with its over 200 oil and gas wastewater injection wells, Pennsylvania operates just 18 such wells (see this page listing them). One of the wells on the PA list, Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania's CGPA5 well in Beaver County, has been in operation since 1985 (originally drilled in 1969). The well's permit needs to be renewed by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA announced it will conduct a virtual hearing on October 6 to accept comments on the permit renewal.
