NOTICE OF APPEAL
Appellant D. C. Malcolm, Inc. (ccAppellant") respectfully represents that it is aggrieved by
certain decisions by Scott G. Mandirola, Director, Division of Water and Waste Management
(CDWWM,,), West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (6WVDEP,,), issued on
september 8, 2015 to Appellant regarding the categorization of its aboveground storage tanks
(c'ASTs") which designate which ASTs are Level 1 Regulated ASTs or Level 2 Regulated ASTs
based in whole, or in pat) on whether the ASTs are located in a "zone ofcritical concem,, or cczone
ofperipheral concern'' as deflned in the Aboveground Storage Tank Act, W. Va. Code i 22-30-3
(20) and (21) (CCAST Act,,), (a copy of the e-mail from DEP is attached hereto and made a part
hereofas Exhibit A). The designations ofthe Appellant's ASTs as Level 1 and Level 2 regulated
ASTs were in error, in whole or in part. In support of this Notice of Appeal, Appellant hereby
incorporates by reference the notice ofappeal, including facts relevant'to appeal, questions offact
and questions or law, filed with the Environmental Quality Board (cEQB'') by the Independent Oil
and Gas Association of West Virginia (CCIOGA"), ef cz/., a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit B. Appellant is challenging the delineation and mapping Of the ZOneS Of Critical COnCem
(czccs") and zones of peripheral concern (ZPCs") which DEP uses, in whole or in part, in
determining and designating which ASTs are Level 1 or Level 2 regulated ASTs on the basis that
the zcc and zpc delineations are unlarwh|1 and the criteria used for delineating the ZCCs and
zpcs are arbitrary and capricious and without basis in law or fact as more fully described in
IOGA's notice ofappeal docketed on or about October 2, 2015.
Appellaut relied on DEP in replacing and removing ASTs outs'ide the ZCC based on prior
delineation dated December 19, 2014.
Appellant is unable to verify the methods and assumptions used in determining the extent
and scope ofthe zccs andzpcs due to the unavailability ofany flnalreport on said determination
methodology.
Appellaut therefore prays that the Environmental Quality' Board review this matter
pursuant to w. va. code § 22-30-18 and grant it the following relief:
(1) Such relief as the Board may deem appropriate, including but not limited to the
following:
a. prohibit the DEP,s utilization and enforceinent of determinations that
certain ASTs are Level 1 or Level 2 regulated ASTs based on the location
ofthe AST being within a ZCC or ZPC until the delineation ofthe areas of
the zccs and zpcs are flnalized following public notice and opportunity
to corrment.
order DEP to disclose the methodology) assunlPtiOnS and Criteria used tO
delineate the ZCCs and ZPCs to afford AST ovIlerS and OPeratOrS the
opportunity to evaluate the validity and accuracy of the dete-inations
made by DEP conceming the regulated status ofASTs.
2
C. Find and detemine that the distance an AST is from a principal stream, or
tributary to the principal stream, must be measured from the ordinary high
water mark ofthe stream on apapendicular line runninghorizontally along
the topography ofthe grolmd for a distance ofone thousand (1,000), or five
hundred (500) feet, respectively, to an AST.
order DEP to delineate the ZCCs and ZPCs using validated stream flow
rates based uponthe individual characteristics ofthe stream and water flow
within the specific Watershed, including residence time in lakes, reservoirs
and impoundments, related to each public water supply intake.
(2) Any other relief or revisions deemed appropriate by the Board following
consideration ofall ofthe information and evidence presented.
specific ob_iections: see IOGA's specific Objections including questions offact and law
to be determined by the Board set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
Amendment ofthis Notice ofAppeal may be had only by leave ofthe Board, and for good
cause shorn.
Respectfully submitted this 2nd day ofOctober, 2015.

NOTICE OF APPEAL___ __ _ ___ .
Appeuants C. I. McKown & Son, Inc. ("cKown"), Pocono,Energy Coxp. (¬cPocono"),
Tempest Energy Coap. (cTempest") and Independent Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia,
Inc. (acIOGA"), (sometimes collectively referred to as c6Appellants') respectfuly represent that
each is aggrieved by certain decisions by Scott a. Mandirola, Director, Division of Water and
Waste Management (cDWWMw), West Virginia Depatment of Envirormental Protection
(6GWVDEPw), issued on September 4, 2015 and September 8, 2015 and other dates by e-mails
directed to ouners and operators ofaboveground storage tanks ("ASTs") whicfi designate which
ASTs are Level 1 Regulated ASTs or Level 2 Regulated ASTs based in whole or in part on
whether the ASTs ae located in a ¢.zone of critical concem" or aczone ofperipheral concern" as
defined in the Aboveground Storage Tank Act, W. Va. Code § 22-30-3 (20) and (2l) (c'AST
Act). More particularly attached as Exhibit A hereto is a list of the McKowl1, Pocono and
Tempest ASTs that have been designated 'as Level 1 or Level 2 regulated ASTs by
RCugBY IftlBEP li¥: fffl #" "" "ty .¥iLirJ,_I,uT,I
I
communication from WVDEP dated September 4, 2015 and September 8, 2015. Additional
designations of Level 1 and Level 2 regulated ASTs were made to many members of TOGA.
These designations contain common errors Which are raised by McKoun, Pocono, Tempest and
IOGA on behalfofits members in the interest Ofadministrative andjudicial economy. McKown,
pocono, ,i,empest and loGA are challenging the delineation and mapping Of'the Zones OfCritical
concem (a.zccs") and zones ofperipheral concem (ccZPCs") which WVDEP uses, in whole or in
part, in determining and designating which ASTs are Level 1 or Level 2 regulated ASTs on the
basis that the zcc and zpc delineations are unlawful and the criteria used for delineating the
zccs and zpcs are arbitrary. and capricious and without basis in law or I:act:
(1) The ZCC and ZPC delineations are unenforceable because the conclusions and
mapping was not subject to notice and opportunity to comment by the regulated community and
the public.
(2) The ZCC and ZPC delineations exceed the scope ofthe definitions set forth in the
AST Act by continuing upstream beyond the 6Ctributaries draining into the principal stream."
(3) The ZCC and ZPC delineations exceed the scope of the definitions by filing tO
adequately account for stream flows, gradient and area topography and other existing conditions
in streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, impoundments and other I:eatures in the delineation.
(4) Upon information and belief, one Or more Of the assumptions utilized in
delineating the area ofthe zccs and zpcs are arbitrary and capricious without a b;sis in fact.
In addition, Pocono has incurred costs and expenses in moving ASTs and rearranging its
operating equipment to areas outside of ZCCs as designated by WVDEP in October 2014.
pocono relied upon information from WVDEP to rearrange its operating equipment outside the
designated zccs. WVDEP con.firmed that the ASTs were located outside the ZCCs following
the rearrangement ofPocono,s ASTs and operating equipment.
McKown, Pocono, Tempest and IOGA therefore pray that the Environmental Quality
Board (the 6CBoard") review this matter pursuant to W. Va. Code § 22-30-18 and grant it the
"following relief:
(1) Such relief as the Board may deem appropriate, including but not limited to the
following:
a. prohibit the WVDEP's utilization and enfiorcement of determinations that
certain ASTs are Level 1 or Level 2 regulated ASTs based on the location
ofthe AST being within a ZCC or ZPC until the delineation o.fthe areas of
the zCCs and ZPCs are fmalized following public notice and opportunity
to comment.
b. order WVDEP to disclose the methodolog), assumptions and criteria used
to delineate the ZCCs and ZPCs to afford AST o\uners and operators the
opportunity to evaluate the validity and accuracy of the determinations
made by WVDEP concerning the regulated status ofASTs.
C. Find and determine that the distance an AST is firom a principal stream or
tributary to the principal stream must be measured from the ordinary high
water mark of the stream on a perpendicular line running horizontally
along the surface of the ground flor a distance of one thousand (1,000) or
"flVe hundred (50O) feet, respectively, to an AST'
order WVDEP to delineate the ZCCs and ZPCs using validated stream
flow rates based upon the individual characteristics of the stream and
3
e.
water flow within the specific watershed, including residence time in
lakes, reservoirs and impoundments.
Prohibit WVDEP from designating as Level I regulated ASTs those
.Pocono ASTs which were relocated and rearranged to be outside ZCC
based infiormation supplied by W'VDEP and confirmed by WVDEP, or, in
the altemative, award Pocono the cost of relocating and rearranging its
ASTs to be outside the designated ZCCs.
(2) Any other relief or revisions deemed appropriate by the Board flollowing
consideration ofall ofthe information and evidence presented.
Specific Obieetious.. Appellants' specific objections including questions of fact and law
to be determined by the Board are set forth in detail and attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Amendment of this Notice of Appeal may be had only by leave of the Board, and for
good cause shorn.

EXHIBIT B
FACTS RELEVANT TO APPEAL
The facts relevant to this appeal and the particular grounds on which this appeal is based,
including questions oflaw and fact to be determined by the Board, are as fiollows:
I. The West Virginia Legislature enacted Senate Bill 423 amehding the
Aboveground Storage Tank Act during its 2015 Regular Session which included deflning 4¬Level
1 regulated tanks" and.'Level 2 regulated tanks" based, in significant patJ upon location in
zones ofcritical concem (¢6ZCCs',) and zones ofperipheral concem (c'ZPCs").
2. Upon infiormation and belie.f, in late 2014, the West Virginia Depatment of
Health and Human Resources' (¬Dl.IHRw) Bureau for Public Health (66BPHw) contracted with the
west virginia university Research Corporation (¬WVURC") to determine the extent and :cope
of the ZCCs related to public water supply intake locations. Upon information and belief, no
fllnal report COnCeming the methods and assumptions used in determining the extent and Scope Of
the ZCCs has been delivered to DHHR or BPH.
3. By agreement having an effective date of April 1, 2015, the WVDEP's DWWM
entered into an Inter-Agency ` Agreement with the WVURC (c6Inter-Agency Agreement")
providing for WVURC to provide funding to West Virginia University's Division of Resource
Management ("DRM") to 66continue the methodologies required by BPH to develop ZCC's and
apply it towards the development ofZPC's."
4. I The Inter-Agency Agreement provides that a final report and presentation to
WVDEP be delivered by December 3 1 (presumably 2015). Upon.information and belief; no
flnal report COnCeming the methods and assumptions used in determining the extent and Scope Of\
the ZPCs has been delivered by WVURC or DRM to WVDEP.
2
5. Notwithstanding the absence of a flnal report COnCeming the ZCCs and ZPCs,
WVDEP began notifying AST o\uners and operators of the WVDEP,s determination ofwhether
each AST is a Level I Regulated AST because it is located in a ZCC or a Level 2 Regulated AST
because it is located in a ZPC.
6. The delerminations made by WVDEP carry significant regulatory requirements
and associated costs and expenses that have a material impact on the profitability ofAST owners
and operators business operations, including, but not limited to, McKown, Pocono and Tempest.
7. The Independent Oil and Gas Association o.f West Virginia, Inc. (¢6IOGA%) is a
statewide non-profit trade association representing companies engaged in the exploration,
production and development of natural gas and oil resources in West Virginia, and the
companies and individuals who support these activities. Many of IOGA7s members ovvn or
operated ASTs. On behalf of its membership9 therefore, IOGA is ad;ersely affected within the
meaning ofW. Va. Code i 22-30-l8 by certain actions, decisions or orders of the WVDEP that
are uureasonable, unduly burdensome, or otherwise arbitrary and capricious, as set forth in detail
below.
8. This appeal has been timely filed within 30 days of rec'eipt ofthe action decision
or order ofWVDEP in accordance with W. Va. Code? 22-3O_18.
9. With regard to Item 1 of the Notice of Appeal, tile delineation Of bOth the ZCCs
and ZPCs constitutes promulgation of a legislative rule that is subject to tfie requirements
established in W. Va. Code § 29A-3-I, a/ seg. which provide for public notice and opportunity to
comment by the regulated community and the public.
10. With regard to Item 2 of the Notice of Appeal, upon information and belief the
tributaries to the stream on which a public water supply intake is located are not streams within
the meaning or intent ofthe definitions o.fZCC and ZPC contained in the AST Act.
3
I I. with regard to Item 3 of the Notice of Appeal, trie delineation of the ZCCs and
zpcs fail to adequately account for stream flows, gradient and area topography and other
existing conditions in streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, impoundments and other features
affecting time oftravel as required in the statutory definition ofZCC and ZPC.
12. With regard to Item 4 of the Notice of Appeal, upon information and belief
because the filnal report has not been COmPleted Or disclosed, the mathematical model,
assumptions, generalizations and other criteria utilized in delineating the ZCC and ZPC are
arbitrary and capricious resulting in larger ZCCs and ZPCs than appropriate.
13. With regard to Pocono it has detrimentally relied upon information and guidance
supplied by WVDEP resulting in costs and expenses that were lost by the designation ofLevel 1
and Level 2 regulated ASTs at issue in this docket.
QUESTIONS OF FACT
1. What mathematical model, assumptions, generalizatidus and other criteria Was
utilized by DRM in the calculation.ofthe area ofthe ZCCs andZPCs?
2. What are the differences between the area ofthe ZCCs u;ed by WVDEP in 2014
and the area ofthe ZCCs used in September 2015?
3. How is the bank ofa stream or tributary determined fior`purposes ofmeasuring the
distance bet.ween an AST and a stream or tributary bank?
