The Elk County minutes record correspondence from Beran Environmental Services on behalf of EQT Production Company about planned permitting for well-plugging and site restoration in Benezette Township.
The notice says EQT intends to file to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for a Chapter 105 waterway obstruction and encroachment permit to support temporary road crossings (GP-8) and maintenance, testing, repair or replacement activities (GP-11) for the "Sam Entz #2 and #3 Well Plugging and Site Restoration" project. The submission was described as affecting about 2.99 acres with crossings of five wetlands and one stream. The notice cites the PA Administrative Code Section 1905-A as amended by Act 14 and explains that a 30-day public comment period applies.
The minutes provide this correspondence as a record; they do not include county action on the project, nor do they record public comments or a county position. Interested parties are referred to the formal notice on file in the commissioners' office for full permit documents and comment instructions.
