02/20/2025 | Waste Management Plan Table 5, Waste Handling Summary reports Contaminated Soils with a Disposal Type of “On-site Disposal” and a Disposal location of “O&G Location.” Per the definition of a Cuttings Trench, only dried cuttings generated from drilling a Well may be stored and disposed of in a cuttings trench. Contaminated Soils are not allowed in the cuttings trench or to be disposed of on location per Rule. |

02/20/2025 | Contingency Sampling of the water/bentonite based drill cuttings will occur regardless of whether the original "background" or "baseline" samples collected from each well drilled are compliant with Table 915-1. The 6-point composite samples from each well may be used for preliminary analysis and waste profiling; however, discrete sample results will be required for confirmation sampling. The operator will need to close out the cuttings trench with a Form 27. The operator will propose the number of discrete samples, the locations, and depth intervals for the confirmation samples. The depth intervals will be selected to provide sufficient coverage between 0 and 13 to 19 feet below the final top surface of the cuttings within the trench. Upon approval of the Form 27, TEP will collect the proposed samples and analyze them for the Table 915-1 constituents. |
