Slush Pit. 6.01 Each slush pit will consist of two compartments; one to contain fluids from the drilling operations and the second to contain surface runoff from the drilling site. Unless authorized by Department, all slush pits will be located at approximately the same elevation as the drilling site. Depending on the topography and slope conditions, the slush pit to contain surface runoff may be located below the drilling site and a safe and reasonable distance from the stream to which the effluent will be discharged. The slush pit used to contain drilling fluids, mud, and water, will be lined with plastic so that no escape of these fluids will occur. If said fluids contain oil or other chemical substances which are harmful to the forest environment, Lessee shall transport these fluids from State Forest lands for disposal. All waste materials from each drilling site will be disposed of at an approved disposal site. All pits shall be filled with earth and leveled at Lessee's expense upon completion of each well. However, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to permit a violation of any laws, rules and regulations of the Commonwealth. 6.02 Before any operations commence, the location, design, construction, and maintenance of any slush pit must be approved by Department. Pollution potential and aesthetics shall be among the factors to be considered by Lessor. 6.03 If drilling operations are conducted with air, gas, or airfoam, Lessee shall also provide sufficient means by which dust and/or foam dispersal are abated, kept to a minimum, and shall not become a nuisance.
