Vegetation is the most effective and cost-efficient management practice tocontrol erosion and reduce sediment loss from construction sites. A per-manent vegetative cover on disturbed soil is required to receive a NOT(Notice of Termination) necessary to close out permitted sites. Vegeta-tion establishment on oil and gas field projects can be very challenging tosay the least. Many of these sites are remotely located with limited ac-cess and cross multiple landowners’ property lines. Successful reclama-tion plans must provide details for several factors including:post-reclamation land use objectives; soil mitigation to address pH, fertil-ity and percent organic matter; seed bed preparation; seed selection; timeframes for seeding; seeding rates; acceptable planting methods; and soilstabilization materials.

Many well pad and pipeline vegetation specifications default to the regu-latory agency responsible for overseeing their construction permits. Oftenthe seed components are forage-type grasses, forbs, and legumes suitable

for grazing by livestock or wild life. Land agreement negotiations can besimplified and viewed favorably by the land owner by selecting a seed mixthat is comprised of acceptable species which are viewed as beneficial byboth farmers and wild life enthusiasts. Examples of common species incool-season growing regions include: orchardgrass, timothy, annual rye-grass, cereal grains, weeping lovegrass, white clover, red clover, and birds-foot trefoil.

A soil test should be taken prior to seeding. Soil test results should in-clude values for pH, percent organic matter, and inherent fertility. Manysoil testing facilities will make lime and fertilizer recommendations basedon the soil test data and the vegetation being grown. Different sourcesfor nutrient delivery and lime exist, so it is important to know the materi-als with which you are working. The real take away message for soils is,“Don’t guess…soil test”.

Choosing the right seed species and their appropriate ratios for your recla-mation mix is extremely important. Nurse crops comprised of annualspecies can be used to aid in the establishment of long-lived, perennialspecies. A good rule of thumb is to not exceed 15% of annual crop seed inthe mix or limit the application of annuals to one half their straight seed-ing rate. Clearly defining what seed to use, application rates, and when itshould be seeded is crucial. Make sure to choose the appropriate speciesfor the region in which you are working and for the time of year the seed-ing will be done.

Seed bed preparation, planting methods and stabilization materials arecritical to successful vegetation establishment. Once we have our soil testresults and the recommended soil amendments we are ready to preparethe seed bed. The equipment used to prepare soils varies depending uponthe application or what is regionally available. Always track seed beds per-pendicular to slopes and avoid working on frozen or saturated soils. Plant-ing methods often dictate the stabilization materials used. Hydro mulch,blankets, and straw are common stabilization materials. These vary greatlyin performance and cost so it is important to choose the right product foryour project. Material selection for soil stabilization should be based upon:soil erodibility, topography, climate and season.

Vegetation establishment on most any site is possible when all parametersare addressed. Pennington Seed has been actively involved in many oil andgas projects nationwide and has the expertise to assist with vegetation es-tablishment and soil stabilization on your next project. When profits andreputation are on the line, it’s no wonder ONG contractors and specifiersrely on Pennington Seed for industry-leading support, innovative technol-ogy and a proven track record of success.

TEEMCO, Total Energy and Environmental Management Company, is a mis-sion-driven employee owned enterprise, dedicated not only to the oil andgas industry, but also the environment. A common misconception amongthe general public is that you can’t be pro oil and gas and pro-environ-ment. TEEMCO CEO, Greg Lorson, states, “The two interests don’t have tobe in opposition.”

The professional environmental engineering firm provides sole source so-lutions to oil and gas, agriculture and marine industries. By sole source,the company incorporates everything from cradle to grave, including: en-gineering, design construction, supply remediation and spill response. Asfor the engineering aspect, TEEMCO creates all types of emergency re-

sponse plans, air analysis, paperwork, groundwork, facility constructionand/or tear down and secondary containment. In addition, they have ac-credited labs in all 50 states. They could be hired to alleviate any potentialproblems before the fact or to deal with any environmental ramificationsafter a problem occurs.

The oil and gas industry is where the company began its core market, inparticular, the upstream oil and gas sector. What sets TEEMCO apart, is itsconsiderable environmental technological advances. TEEMCO is a finalistfor six environmental stewardship awards this year and as of press time,waiting to hear the results. In addition, they won the Environmental Ini-tiative of the Year Award in 2012, which recognizes technological devel-opments or projects that aid in the alleviation of environmental impactfrom the oil and gas industry. Their 2012 win was associated with both hardware and software manage-ment systems that they designed to assist clients with regulatory compli-ance. Each program, TECAT, ENVITE, TAM and TWIN, is stand-alone, butthey also all work together.

The first program, TECAT, is a type of risk analysis. The program developsa risk management plan by first having basic information about a com-pany’s operations and facility, including location, entered in the system.Then TECAT analyzes the operations, looks for regulations and plots out acourse of action.

The second program, ENVITE, is an environmental management compli-ance dashboard. It provides a searchable, storable interface to all tech-nology and is also a computative program. It is a working tool that seesthe database of the facility and creates emergency response plans. Lorsonexplained, “The past practice of creating static plans involved an inspectorgoing to the field, where they would fill out a form, which would be tran-scribed into an engineering spreadsheet. The math would be calculatedand then asserted back into the document.” Every document would needto be done this way.

Lorson says, “Unlike any other program, ENVITE does word processing andengineering spreadsheet all in the same software. Once the data is enteredinto the form on the computer and submit is pressed, 99% of the work iscomplete. It is completely automated. It just needs to be reviewed for inputaccuracy.” ENVITE eliminates transcription error and redundant steps andspeeds up the entire work process, which is more cost effective. In otherwords, once the static plan is created, the user could make one universalchange in the software, as opposed to having to populate each and everystatic plan. Plus, the user is able to get into all documents and see every-thing. “We created the ENVITE program and wrote all of the code. We did-n’t set out to do this, but we looked everywhere and it didn’t existanywhere,” stated Lorson.

The third program, TAM (TEEMCO Air Model), focus on air pollutants andemissions inventory. Safe air quality is a national priority and highly regu-lated. The Clean Air Act requires oil and gas companies to comply with var-ious emissions regulations. For instance, a company needs to know if theyare polluting or not and to what extent. If a regulatory threshold is ex-ceeded, the offending company may need to reduce emissions, buy equip-ment, obtain a permit and/or produce a track report, which would be similarto an annual tax report.

However, Lorson explained, “A problem in the industry is that the majorityof the software overstates emissions. If you have 1,000 locations, it’s im-practical for an oil and gas company to meter, measure and know every site.The law allows those companies to utilize air modeling software and ex-trapolate the inventory for all 1,000 facilities. As a result, the emissions areoverestimated, while the true numbers aren’t really known. Our TAM mod-eling software was tested at a sealed facility by an independent Texasagency. Measurements were taken and compared to our air model. The TAMwas right on target. Tests revealed our software was the most accurate,1300% more accurate, and right on the bulls eye of the actual emissions.”

The fourth and final program, TWIN, is a wireless integrated network that isa combination of hardware monitoring both hardware and software.TEEMCO installs sensing devices that measure every moving part, from RPMto fluid level to line pressure, at a facility. TWIN collects and tracks thosereadings in real time and wirelessly communicates them to a module andservers. Lorson says, “Remote monitoring isn’t new, but what is new

and exciting is transmitting the information wirelessly. We collect the in-formation through TWIN and then process it through TAM. Given the accu-racy of TAM, this is as close to actual measurements as can be accomplishedwithout actually being there.”

Some measurements are required on an ongoing basis. For example, somecompanies need to know at any given minute what emissions are. The soft-ware could also create daily, weekly and monthly averages to help a com-pany stay in compliance and optimize production. “If a company is aboveemissions, it could ratchet back production or change out a piece of equip-ment. If they are below, they can ratchet up production. In addition, pre-dictive maintenance could be applied. For instance, a belt may go around apump track and wears out after one million strokes. The old way was to justkeep an eye on it. If it went out, it would leak oil and shut the well down.Now preventative maintenance can be scheduled right before it reaches thatmillionth stroke, thus making maintenance more routine instead of reactive,and protecting the environment from the oil spill in the process,” explainedLorson.

TWIN also detects potential problems such as a sudden drop in pressure. Adispatcher would know there is a problem within seconds and be able to re-spond within hours. The alternative to this is manual checks. If manualchecks are taking place, well tankers or pumpers follow a work route. Insome cases it can be up to a week before they repeat that route. If there isa leak one hour after they leave that facility, there could be a potentiallylarger problem.

“We are a very technology driven company. We take a lot of pride in bring-ing state of the art technology to the table. We have a saying: 21st centurytechnology for 21st century regulations. We create not only higher quality,but also the most efficient products that also reduce costs and improve com-pliance,” expressed Lorson. Even after winning awards for programs likeTECAT, ENVITE, TAM and TWIN, TEEMCO continues to work with environ-mental innovations across the spectrum.

A low technology project that the company completed was designing a newberm system for secondary containment, which is required by law. Oftenearth berms that are built could grow plants, whose roots could compro-mise or weaken an earth berm. In addition, heavy rainfall could washoutportions of some earth berms. Some companies have switched over to metal

berms, but these typically are rather expensive. TEEMCO designed a metalberm for the same cost as an earth berm to offer the best protection for thesame cost.

TEEMCO’s environmental philosophy even carries over to their offices.TEEMCO recently purchased the Gold Dome Building in Oklahoma City offof the legendary Route 66, which is based on Buckminster Fuller's geodesicdome (think Epcot, but a dome instead of a sphere). The architecturally his-toric building (the third geodesic dome building built in the world) is on theNational Registry of Historic Places. Lorson chose the building because it ismodeled off of the structure of the universe and is the strongest structurethere is. “To us, the building not only makes a statement, but it also aboutpreserving the environment, whether it is natural or manmade.

In the Oil and Gas industry, as well as in all other industrial set-tings, it is important to be educated on, and remember to alwaysuse appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Makingsure to have everything from the appropriate safety glasses to theright style of hard hat should be considered as it could make ahuge difference in the event of an accident. For the next fewsafety articles I write for ONG, I will be focusing on one piece ofPPE and discussing what to consider when trying to select what’sbest for you. For my first installment, I have decided to focus onprotective footwear and have also included some tips for takinggood care of your feet.

Protective footwear worn in the workplace is designed to protectthe foot from physical hazards such as falling objects, stepping onsharp objects, heat and cold, wet and slippery surfaces and expo-sure to corrosive or otherwise dangerous chemicals. As a super-visor or a worker, you should know the specific hazards in yourworkplace or specific work area, and should consider these factswhen selecting footwear for yourself or your employees. Hope-fully this article will be a good start for selecting the appropriateprotective footwear, but The American National Standards Insti-tute (ANSI) Standard Z41-1999 “Personal Protection – ProtectiveFootwear” and the ANSI Z41 User guide will also be a great help inmaking your selection.

When purchasing new protective footwear, it is important to getthe right fit so that you do not develop calluses, ingrown toenails,blisters or simply tired feet that are common among workers whospend most of their time standing or walking. Although these maynot be considered occupational injuries, they can have seriousconsequences for health and safety in the workplace causing dis-comfort, pain and fatigue. Fatigue cannot only cause injury tomuscles and joints, it can also cause a worker to be less alert totheir surroundings which could result in an accident.

After purchasing new protective footwear, and before wearingnew shoes or boots on the job, wear them at home until you’resure they fit well. Keep them clean until it is decided they fit andyou are keeping them, that way there should not be a problem ex-changing them for a different size or style. Always check thestore’s return policy prior to purchasing footwear.

Important things to know about Safety Footwear

• If you are at risk for foot injury at your workplace, youshould always wear protective footwear.

• If foot protection is required in your workplace, supervisorsshould implement a complete foot safety protection pro-gram including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance,and inspection of all worker’s footwear.

• Safety footwear is designed to protect feet against a widevariety of injuries including, but not limited to, impact,compression, punctures, and injuries resulting from a slip.

• Choose footwear according to the specific hazards in the workenvironment.

• Ensure that the footwear you select has a sole properly de-signed for the working conditions, i.e. slip resistant or rein-forced metal soles.

• Keep in mind that use of metatarsal protection (top of the footbetween the toes and ankle) may be required where steel-toedboots will not suffice.

What Built-In Protection Features Come In Safety Footwear?

• High-cut shoes or boots provide ankle support and keep sparks,molten metals, and chemicals from getting into the footwear.

• Reinforced safety toe, reinforced toecap, or steel toe footwearwill absorb the blow if a heavy object falls on the foot.

• Metatarsal boots will offer more protection for the whole footthan steel-toe boots or shoes.

• Reinforced metal soles and steel midsoles protect feet frompuncture wounds.

• Non-slip footwear prevents the wearer from slipping on certaintypes of surfaces.

• Insulated footwear provides protection in cold, and sometimeshot, environments.

Are There Special Shoes and Boots for Special Working Conditions?

• Metal-Free footwear is recommended when working withelectricity. Composite materials are available from severalmanufacturers.

• Footwear with rubber or wooden soles is recommended fortraction on wet floors.

• Treated footwear is available and recommended when the en-vironment calls for chemical resistance.

What to Know About Fit and Care of Safety Footwear

Fit:

• Walk in new footwear to ensure fit and comfort.

• Shoes and boots should have ample toe room. Toes approxi-mately ½” from the front of the boot is recommended.

• Make allowances in sizing for socks and arch supports ifnecessary.

• Shoes and boots should fit snugly around heel and ankle whenlaced.

• When trying on shoes or boots in the store, lace them fully toensure comfort before purchasing.

Care:

• Apply a protective coating to make footwear water-resistant.

• Inspect footwear regularly for damage or wear.

• Repair or replace worn, damaged or defective footwear im-mediately.

Foot Care:

Feet are subject to a variety of skin and toenail disorders. Workerscan avoid many of them by following a few simple rules of footcare.

• Wash feet daily with soap, rinse thoroughly and dry, especiallybetween the toes.

• Trim toenails straight across, and remember not to cut themtoo short. Do not cut into the corners, as this could result infungus or infection.

• Wear clean, dry socks and change them daily. It is also helpful tohave spare socks available in the event that your foot becomeswet.

• Use foot powder.

Hopefully this article has shed some light on what to look for in andhow to determine what type of protective footwear you and/or yourworkers should be wearing. As I mentioned above, ANSI, OSHA andNIOSH provide several other tools for promoting foot safety, as wellas more in-depth information on how to develop and implement afoot safety protection program.

The government and the natural resource extraction industries publish aplethora of facts and figures surrounding natural gas and oil1,2. It is notthe subject of this paper to recapitulate those facts or figures. Rather thispaper hopes to present the efforts of the oil and natural gas industriesspecifically, towards restoration and reclamation.

Due to numerous laws, much time, effort and money has been expendedover the decades to address the restoration and reclamation of oil andnatural gas recovery. It is the last activity required to release the bondingfor the drilling and pipeline companies. It is also based on visual, subjec-tive interpretation.

Every state reclamation plan is different. There are basic similarities: re-move and store the topsoil, extract the natural resource or install thepipeline, replace the overburden into the disturbed area, cover with thesaved topsoil, seed, fertilize and pray something grows to “70% coverage”.What is 70% coverage? Who makes that decision? How consistent and sustainable is it?

One of the problems of restoration and reclamation is the topsoil has beenso degraded it requires excessive use of fertilizer to sustain vegetation.Moreover synthetic fertilizer is being used less, so as to address the nu-trient management programs (NMP) of states to reduce nutrient runoffinto streams and creeks. Without a nutrient infusion, vegetation is re-tarded and the 70% coverage is questionable.

So what’s the oil and natural gas industry to do? Simply put – “Go or-ganic”. With society’s ever increasing waste production, efforts are beingmade to remove the organic matter from landfills. For instance grass clip-pings, leaf and brush debris are no longer allowed in many landfills, andtownships are implementing compost centers. Likewise many universitiesand some cities are initiating food waste composting3 efforts. Finally, themushroom industry produces over 2 million cubic yards of compost peryear4.

These organic debris sources are ideal soil amendments for use in landrestoration and reclamation. Once composted they offer a high C:N ratio,organic slow soluble NPK and micro nutrients required for root growth. In-corporating compost into the degraded top soil provides such benefits asimproving and increasing the organic matter, reducing soil compaction, re-taining moisture, building the soil flora and reducing the need for syntheticfertilizer.

Compost material should be adequately composted so not to resemble theoriginal material. It should be weed free and pathogen free in accordancewith CFR Title 40 Part 503. Such testing should be performed by a US Com-post Council certified laboratory5. Having this information prior to initi-ating the planned reclamation activity allows both the landowner,oil/natural gas company, pipeline company and local Townships to worktogether to present facts and processes to State and Federal authoritiesfor approval.

Much time, effort, expense and pride goes into the restoration and recla-mation portion of a drilling and pipeline operation. Utilization of compostfacilitates a green cottage industry in a time when the natural gas and oilindustry is under intense pressure to “do it right”.

Years ago, if an industry wanted to get rid of waste, they often dumped itin a river or the ground—not really thinking of the consequences. Over theyears court cases and movies, like Erin Brockovich, brought some of theseill-fated decisions to light. Now waste disposal is regulated by organiza-tions like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Ohio Soil Recycling is based in Columbus, Ohio and has been around for12 years. For years the business centered around remediating contami-nated soil. A few years ago, Chris Elliott, President of Ohio Soil Recycling,recognized that the oil and natural gas industry was significantly affectingnortheast Ohio.

When oil or natural gas is extracted from the ground, it is obtained bydrilling a borehole, which is a deep, narrow hole. The broken pieces ofearth that are removed from the borehole are called drill cuttings. Thesedrill cuttings are considered contaminated, but not hazardous.

Jim Samuel, Capitol Integrity Group Founder, explained that in Ohio thesecuttings get landfilled. “In terms of waste streams, almost everyone fo-cuses on water. However with drill cuttings, if there is a problem yearslater at a landfill, the liability could come back on the oil or natural gascompany,” explained Samuel.

Elliott realized that the drill cuttings were a ‘good fit’ for his company asthey’re similar in nature to the contaminated soil that his company workswith. He started running tests on the drill cuttings. Using enhanced biore-mediation, the process allows naturally occurring microbes and algae,along with oxygen and nutrients in the soil, to eat away at the contami-nation through a natural process.

The remediation is done on a pad with a liner. They are able to collectall of the water and recycle it through the process. Elliott explains, “The

water collection system associated with our treatment process includesreusing the water for dust control, making our microbe solutions andreapplying it to the cuttings and soil through a spray system that keepsthe correct moisture in our treatment piles.”

Elliott started the involved processof getting an Ohio EPA permit abouta year and a half ago. This new tech-nology was just recently approvedand permitted by the Ohio EPA. El-liott explained, “Companies haven’tbeen very successful in finding al-ternative solutions for drill cuttings.Part of proving that we were capa-ble was doing a pilot study. Wewere able to remediate the worst ofthe worst horizontal drill cuttingsthat Chesapeake Energy provided inabout five-months. We were one ofthe first companies to prove this.”

“Until now, a landfill was the onlyoption in Ohio for drill cuttings. This process now provides a green solutionand alleviates potential liability for oil and gas producers 20 or 30 yearsdown the line,” replied Elliott. Plus, this eliminates a huge volume of ma-terial in a landfill over the course of 10 to 15 years.

A beneficial reuse has also been found for the remediated cuttings. Backin 1970 a landfill in the Columbus area wasn’t capped. Fast forward totoday, after the cutting remediation, the end product was used as a mod-ern day cap for that landfill.

Not only is this process more environmentally friendly, but also cheaper.With new technology and proper regulation, projects like this one will cre-ate a safer environment for generations to come.

In August of 2013, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP) is-sued a beneficial use permit that allows natural gas generated drill cuttings to beused in the manufacturing of asphalt road base material. The permit, obtained bySteve Gridley of United Environmental Group, Inc. (UEG), Horseheads, New York, of-fers gas companies a cost competitive alternative to landfill disposal of drillingwaste. Mr. Gridley developed a comprehensive approved proprietary process andhas been working with mix design engineers with an upstate New York asphalt andpaving company to develop asphalt mix designs using a proprietary emulsion. Themix designs are able to utilize up to 25% drill cuttings in the road base material.This process will build roads through the beneficial use of a waste stream that hasplagued our industry; will reduce dependency on limited landfill space; and offer aviable alternative to questionable land farming practices. Both air and oil base drillcuttings have been bench tested. The asphalt samples produced to date have passedboth PaDEP analytical regulatory requirements and physical properties tests. Therecycling facility will initially be located in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania. Futureplans include mobile pugmills to be used on individual well pads. UEG is currentlypursuing similar permits in several other states and Canada. A pilot test is plannedfor this fall.
