Range to pay nearly $200K for clean-air violations in Pa.
Monday, April 20, 2020
Last week the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection announced Range Resources agreed to pay a $198,920 fine for violations of the state clean-air law at a well pad in Cross Creek County Park and at another well pad in Mt. Pleasant Township, Pa, according to the Observer-Reporter.
The company’s alleged violations occurred between 2013 and 2015, when Range operated the well pads without obtaining an air-quality permit known as a Title V for either site.
Cross Creek and Mt. Pleasant townships will be eligible to receive grants toward projects from the fine money — $20,744 for Cross Creek and $21,293 for Mt. Pleasant.
