 BILL NUMBER: SB 4AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN SENATE MARCH 11, 2013 INTRODUCED BY Senator Pavley  (   Coauthor:   Senator   Monning   )  DECEMBER 3, 2012 An act to amend  Section   Sections  3213  , 3215, 3236.5, and 3401  of, and to add Article 3 (commencing with Section 3150) to Chapter 1 of Division 3 of, the Public Resources Code, relating to oil and gas. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 4, as amended, Pavley. Oil and gas: hydraulic fracturing.  Under   (1)     Under  existing law, the Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources  (DOGGR)  in the Department of Conservation regulates the drilling, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of oil and gas wells in the state. The State Oil and Gas Supervisor supervises the drilling, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of wells and the operation, maintenance, and removal or abandonment of tanks and facilities related to oil and gas production within an oil and gas field regarding safety and environmental damage. Existing law requires an operator of a well, before commencing the work of drilling the well, to obtain approval from the State Oil and Gas Supervisor or a district deputy. Existing law requires the operator of a well to keep, or cause to be kept, a careful and accurate log, core record, and history of the drilling of the well. Within 60 days after the date of cessation of drilling, rework, or abandonment operations, the owner or operator is required to file with the district deputy certain information, including the history of work performed.  Under existing law, a person who violates any prohibition specific to the regulation of oil or gas operations is guilty of a misdemeanor.  This bill would define, among other things,  the terms  hydraulic fracturing and hydraulic fracturing fluid.  The bill would require the Secretary of the Natural Resources Agency, on or before January 1, 2015, to cause to be conducted an independent scientific study on hydraulic fracturing treatments.  The bill  requires   would require  an operator of a well to record and include all data on hydraulic fracturing  treatment, including names and locations of all known seismic faults, as a part of the history of the drilling of the well   treatments, as specified  . The bill would require  DOGGR   the division ,  in consultation with the Department of Toxic Substances Control, the State Air Resources Board, and the State Water Resources Control Board,  on or before January 1, 2015, to adopt rules and regulations specific to hydraulic fracturing, including governing the construction of wells and well casings and full disclosure of the composition and disposition of hydraulic fracturing. The bill would require an operator to  file   apply for a permit, as specified,  with the supervisor or  a  district deputy,  at least 30 days prior to the commencement of a hydraulic fracturing treatment, a notice of intention to commence hydraulic fracturing treatment containing specified information   prior to performing a hydraulic fracturing treatment of a well and would prohibit the operator from either conducting a new hydraulic fracturing treatment or repeating a hydraulic fracturing treatment without a valid, approved permit. The bill would prohibit the approval of a permit that presents an unreasonable risk or is incomplete. The bill would require the division, within 5 business days of issuing a permit to commence hydraulic fracturing, to provide a copy to specific boards and entities and to post the permit on a publicly accessible portion of its Internet Web site  . The bill would require the hydraulic fracturing  treatment  to be completed within one year  of the filing of the notice of intention   from the date that a permit is issued  . The bill would require  DOGGR, within 10 days of the receipt of the notice of intention, to make the notice publicly available, to post it on the division's Internet Web site, and to notify the appropriate regional water quality control board.   the division to perform random periodic spot check investigations during hydraulic fracturing treatments, as specified. The bill would prohibit the supervisor or district deputy, as of January 1, 2015, from issuing a permit to commence a hydraulic fracturing treatment, as specified, until the study is completed and peer reviewed by independent scientific experts. The bill would require the operator to provide a copy of the approved   hydraulic fracturing treatment permit to specified property owners at least 30 days prior to commencing a hydraulic fracturing treatment. The bill would require the operator to provide notice to the division at least 72 hours prior to the actual start of the hydraulic fracturing treatment in order for the division to witness the hydraulic fracturing treatment.  The bill would require the supplier, as defined, of the hydraulic fracturing treatment to provide to the operator, within 30 days following the conclusion of the hydraulic fracturing, certain information regarding the hydraulic fracturing fluid. The bill would require the operator, within 60 days of the cessation of hydraulic fracturing treatment, to post or cause to have posted on an Internet Web site accessible to the public specified information on the fracturing and fluid, as specified.  The bill would provide that where the division shares   jurisdiction over a wel   l with a federal entity, the division's rules and regulations govern the hydraulic fracturing treatment of a well.  The bill would require a supplier claiming trade secret protection for the chemical composition of additives used in the hydraulic treatment to disclose the composition to  DOGGR   the division  ,  in conjunction with a hydraulic fracturing treatment permit application,  but would, except as specified, prohibit those with access to the trade secret  to disclose it, and a person who violates this prohibition would be guilty of a misdemeanor   from disclosing it  . Because  a violation of  this bill would create a new crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program.  (2) Under existing law, a person who violates certain statutes or regulations relating to oil and gas well operations is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $25,000 for each violation.   This bill would make persons who violate specified provisions relating to hydraulic fracturing subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not to exceed $25,000 per day per violation.   (3) Existing law imposes an annual charge upon each person operating or owning an interest in an oil or gas well in respect to the production of the well which charge is payable to the Treasurer for deposit into the Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Administrative Fund. Existing law further requires that specific moneys from charges levied, assessed, and collected upon the properties of every person operating or owning an interest in the production of a well to be used exclusively, upon appropriation, for the support and maintenance of the department charged with the supervision of oil and gas operations.   This bill would allow the moneys described above to be used for all costs associated with hydraulic fracturing including scientific studies required to evaluate the treatment, inspections, and any air and water monitoring and testing performed by public entities.  This bill would require the supervisor, on or before January 1, 2016, and annually thereafter, to transmit to the Legislature and make available publicly a comprehensive report on hydraulic fracturing in the exploration and production of oil and gas resources in the state. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:  SECTION 1.

Section 3236.5 of the   Public Resources Code   is amended to read:  3236.5. (a) A person who violates this chapter or a regulation implementing this chapter is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) for each violation.  A person who commits a violation of Article 3 (commencing with Section 3150) is subject to a civil penalty of not less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day per violation.  An act of God and an act of vandalism beyond the reasonable control of the operator shall not be considered a violation. The civil penalty shall be imposed by an order of the supervisor pursuant to Section 3225 upon a determination that a violation has been committed by the person charged. The imposition of a civil penalty under this section shall be in addition to any other penalty provided by law for the violation. When establishing the amount of the civil penalty pursuant to this section, the supervisor shall consider, in addition to other relevant circumstances, all of the following: (1) The extent of harm caused by the violation. (2) The persistence of the violation. (3) The pervasiveness of the violation. (4) The number of prior violations by the same violator. (b) An order of the supervisor imposing a civil penalty shall be reviewable pursuant to Article 6 (commencing with Section 3350). When the order of the supervisor has become final and the penalty has not been paid, the supervisor may apply to the appropriate superior court for an order directing payment of the civil penalty. The supervisor may also seek from the court an order directing that production from the well or use of the production facility that is the subject of the civil penalty order be discontinued until the violation has been remedied to the satisfaction of the supervisor and the civil penalty has been paid. (c) Any amount collected under this section shall be deposited in the Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Administrative Fund.  SEC. 6.   Section 3401 of the   Public Resources Code   is amended to read:  3401. The proceeds of charges levied, assessed, and collected pursuant to this article upon the properties of every person operating or owning an interest in the production of a well shall be used exclusively for the support and maintenance of the department charged with the supervision of oil and gas operations.  This shall include all costs associated with hydraulic fracturing treatments including scientific studies required to evaluate the treatment, inspections, and any air and water quality monitoring and testing performed by public entities.   SEC. 3.   SEC. 7.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
