Which industries are materially affected by specific provisions in this bill. 3 harmed.
Section 2(a) requires the EPA Administrator to determine whether drilling fluids, produced waters, and other wastes from crude oil and natural gas exploration, development, or production meet hazardous waste criteria, and if so, list them as hazardous waste and regulate them under Subtitle C of the Solid Waste Disposal Act. This imposes new regulatory burdens on oil and gas operations, increasing compliance costs and potentially restricting waste disposal practices.
Section 2(a) and (b) apply to wastes associated with crude oil, natural gas, or geothermal energy exploration, development, or production, which includes wastes generated by midstream operators such as pipelines, storage, and LNG terminals. Regulating these wastes as hazardous or imposing new facility criteria under Subtitle D will increase compliance costs for energy infrastructure companies handling such wastes.
The bill explicitly includes geothermal energy wastes in the scope of regulation under both Subtitle C and Subtitle D provisions. Geothermal energy producers will face similar regulatory burdens as oil and gas operators regarding drilling fluids and produced waters, increasing compliance costs for this renewable sector.
