Oil and Gas Liquid Waste We Can Accept
The term “Oil and Gas Liquid Waste” includes liquid wastes from the drilling, development and operation of oil and gas wells and transmission facilities. The term includes contaminated water from well sites, the development of transmission pipelines and the facility operating under this general permit.
According to 35 PA Code CH 287.1 Liquid waste is defined as – “Residual waste that contains free liquids as determined by Method 9095 (paint filter liquids test), as described in the EPA’s ‘‘Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods’’ (EPA Publication No. SW-846.)” This basically means that as long as a drop of fluid drips through a paint filter after 5 minutes then it is considered free liquid.
The following are examples of the different types of liquid waste we can receive under our revised WMGR123 (note that this list may not be all inclusive, so please call if you have other waste not on this list):
- drill water
- tophole water
- flowback water
- production water
- tank cleanings
- sand and sediment
- completions water
- cement water (not greater than 12.4 pH)
- cellar/basement well water
- pipeline construction water such as boring fluids
- hydrostatic pressure water from new pipeline testing
- freshwater pipeline sediment slurry, intermediate, and/or lateral drilling water
- storm water/runoff water that has been deemed to be contaminated in some way
- water that accumulates in secondary containment liners and impoundments
- sludges; and
- any liquid waste from any conventional or unconventional formations.
The above fluids cannot contain foreign material, visible oil, excessive foaming, or objectionable odors. In addition, we cannot take condensate from oil and gas transmission pipeline compressor stations that exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart C, as incorporated by reference at 25 Pa. Code Sec. 261a.1
Note: Some products or services may not be available at every Hydro Recovery location and may be on an as available basis.
