U. S. and West Virginia Reach Settlement With Antero Resources Corporation for Clean Water Act Violations at 32 West Virginia Sites
The Department of Justice, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) announced that they have reached a settlement with Antero Resources Corporation resolving alleged violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) at 32 sites in Harrison, Doddridge, and Tyler Counties in West Virginia.
The settlement filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia requires Antero to pay a civil penalty of $3.15 million and to conduct restoration, stabilization, and mitigation work at impacted sites. Antero will also provide mitigation for aquatic resource impacts.
“The Department of Justice is pleased to join with the EPA and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection in reaching this settlement and will continue to work with its law enforcement partners to hold corporations accountable for violating the nation’s environmental laws,” said Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Bossert Clark of the Environment and Natural Resources Division.
“This settlement seeks to rectify harm done to U.S. waters from unauthorized activities undertaken by Antero, and demonstrates that federal and state regulators are committed to pursuing violations that threaten human health and the environment,” said EPA Regional Administrator Cosmo Servidio.
Impacts to aquatic resources will be partially offset at a 51.5-acre permittee-responsible mitigation site that will restore, enhance, create, and preserve over 11,500 linear feet of streams and more than 3 acres of wetlands. The EPA-estimated value of the proposed mitigation and restoration is $8 million.
The violations involved the unauthorized disposal of dredged and fill materials into waters of the United States at or near sites where Antero had constructed well pads, compressor stations, impoundments, pipeline crossings, access roads, and other structures associated with Marcellus Shale natural gas extraction by means of hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking.
While each of the 32 sites varied regarding the extent of the impact to wetlands and streams, the unauthorized activities impacted more than 19,000 linear feet of streams and over four acres of wetlands and included:
>> Stream impoundments;
>> Filling wetlands and streams for compressor station pads;
>> Realigning and culverting stream segments; and
>> Failing to fully restore “temporary” impacts.
>> Approximately half of the sites were identified by Antero through a self-audit. Several of the sites were associated with construction failures or “slips” from access roads and pads.
The proposed settlement which is subject to a 30-day public comment period is available at: https://www.justice.gov/enrd/consent-decrees

I’m a retired mining engineer (B.S.; M.S.; P.E.). I have the following comments and opinions.
Take a look at the WV DEP 2016-2017 Annual Report. In skimming over the report a number of things jumped out, such as:
The Division of Air Quality “Collected more than $871,040 as a result of the consent orders.” Not very much when one considers how much air pollution is occurring in WV.
The Division of Mining & Reclamation conducted more than 19,000 inspections yet issued only 670 notices of violation (about 3.5% of the inspections resulted in notices of violation). This is an extremely low rate based upon my experience in the mining industry.
The Office of Oil & Gas conducted 4558 site inspections and issued only 89 notices of violation (i.e. only 2% of inspections resulted in a notice of violation. This seems like a very low number.
REAP The Next Generation made this statement: “DLR’s Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan – The Next Generation (REAP) works to make West Virginia the cleanest state in the nation.”
Much of what the various branches list as accomplishments are simply lists of things like permits processed, dumps eradicated, etc.
If you go to the table of disbursements and expenditures at the end of the document, the following details are presented:
Oil & Gas Operating Permits collected $124,275 in fines and penalties (not very much!)
Mining and Reclamation Operations Fund collected $520,974 in fines and penalties.
Numerous other “penalties and fines” are listed. The Water Quality Management Fund seemed to have the largest “fines and penalties,” $2,421,355.
