NOTICE. System work has been completed to accept electronic quarterly reporting for Marcellus Shale subfacility level water withdrawals for those sources that have been registered. Operators may now go to www.depgreenport.state.pa.us to resume or begin quarterly withdrawal reports pursuant to their water management plans. Operators having previously registered water sources are being notified by either email or by letter of the resumption of reporting along with information necessary to gain access to the Greenport reporting application. Operators with unregistered sources must first register their sources prior to reporting. Information on registration may be found at www.depweb.state.pa.us keyword “Chapter 110”. Those registering sources are to be sure they include their source initiation date on the registration form.For sources subject to SRBC and DRBC approvals, water monitoring and reporting plans meeting DRBC and SRBC requirements satisfy DEP's requirements. Reports should be submitted to SRBC and DRBC respectively. Since DEP has access to those reports, separate periodic reports need not be submitted to DEP, but operators must file their annual Act 220 water use reports with DEP.
