ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE R. L. Stamets. Chairman Santa Fe. New Mexico The Environmental Affairs Committee of the IOCC met Monday, June 18, 1979, in the Regency West Room, Hyatt Regency Hotel, Lexington, Kentucky, with 92 people registering their attendance. The committee chairman reported on the activities of the Steering Committee relative to the five?point guidance resolution adopted by the Compact at its meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, December, 1978. Activities will include: (1) exploration of the possibilities of opening better lines of communication with the EPA: (2) conducting a review to determine if significant volumes of oil and gas are shut in or being lost due to existing or proposed environmental laws or regulations; and (3) attempts to designate an individual in each of EPA's 10 regions to act as a contact person for the committee in order to relay comments, concerns, or information between EPA, Compact States, and the committee. Mr. Alfred W. Lindsey, Chief of the Implementation Branch, Office of Solid Waste, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, addressed the committee concerning EPA's development of its proposed Hazardous Waste Management Regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976. Mr. Lindsey indicated that the proposed regulations were developed utilizing, in part, regulations currently in force in certain states and European countries. Recognizing the paucity of relevant information, EPA chose to regulate oil and gas drilling muds and produced brines under a less stringent Special Wastes section of the regulations. Our second speaker, Mr. James W. Collins, Manager, Environmental Affairs, Energy Resources Group, Cities Service Company, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and representing the position of the API in this matter, pointed out that the manner in which these regulations were written and referenced could result in these special wastes being classed as hazardous wastes. Such a classification could cost the industry an estimated $45 billion over a 20 to 25 year period for compliance with siting, monitoring, fencing, and closure requirements. The House Santini Amendment and Senate Bentsen Amendment to RCRA call for a 2?year exemption of oil and gas drilling muds and brines from these regulations during which time EPA would be required to study and report on such ?uids. -10.. The Conunittee passed and forwarded to the Resolutions Committee a proposed resolution these amendments and conveying the IOCC's desire to work with EPA. to the extent POSsible, in any such study.

Mr. Hager discussed whether Congressional consent to the Interstate Oil Compact is re- quired in light of the 1978 Supreme Court decision in United States Steel Corporation v. 'Multi- state Tax Commission (434 U.S. 452 (1978). Although no conclusions were drawn, the similari- ties between the IOCC and Multistate Tax Commission were noted. Questions left with the commit- tee were: (1) Does the Multistate Tax decision mean that Congressional approval is not necessary? (2) What effect does this have on IOCC activities? (3) Would failure to obtain consent remove any self-imposed restraints? (4) What would reaction of Congress be to any claim of exemption by IOCC or to any broadening of its activities? Mr. Lamont discussed the past and future roles of the IOCC. He noted the importance of the IOCC to inform 60th Congress and the Executive Branch, particularly on the important techni- cal matters relating to oil and gas production which are within the Compact States' responsibility and expertise . A subcommittee was appointed to consider the legal effect of failing to obtain Congressional consent on the existing Interstate Oil Compact. A report will be made at the annual meeting in December.

The meeting adjourned at 3:30 p.m. Resolution on Heavy Oil WHEREAS, the Interstate Oil Compact Commission has reiterated many times its firm opinion at large domestic hydrocarbon resources remain to be discovered and developed. Substantial heavy oil reserves (less than 20? API gravity) are now known to exist, but are not susceptible to full deveIOpment and production under current circumstances, and there is a potential for extensive future discoveries of additional reserves; and WHEREAS, amendments of the federal regulations dealing with heavy crude oil have clearly recognized that there are special problems in heavy oil production, particularly in California, but additional exploration for and production of such oil is still being discouraged by existing entitle- ments reg ulations; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that in order to prevent waste and encourage the development of known domestic heavy oil reserves, and to promote the exploration for and develop- ment of new such reserves, the urges that applicable federal regulations be further amended as follows: 0 (1) To extend the scheduled adjustments of entitlements payments now allowed for heavy California crude oil on a non-discriminatory basis to similar heavy crude oils produced anywhere in the United States; and (2) To alleviate regional oversupplies of heavy crude oil by providing an economic incentive to create a permanent solution to the problem of under-utilization of domestic heavy oil reserves by the installation and retrofit of U. S. refinery facilities to process domestic heavy crude oil. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Executive Director is directed to communicate this reso- lution immediately to the Governors of all of the Compacting States, to the President of the United States, the Secretary of Energy, and approPriate Members of the Congress. Resolution on Wilderness Areas WHEREAS, there are areas of the United States which have been largely uninhabited by man, covering about one-third of the nation, most of which are in the public domain and which have historically constituted one of the greatest natural resources of this nation; and WHEREAS, these public lands provide refuge for much of our wildlife, sustain many of the nation's outdoor recreational activities, supply much of our wood and wood products, food and ?ber, and overlay as much as 50 percent of our potential domestic energy reserves; and WHEREAS, a balance between the current needs of the citizens of the nation and the desire to preserve substantial natural resources for the future must be reasonably maintained if we are to best utilize these natural resources for the benefit of both present and future generations; and WHEREAS, the IOCC behaves that these objectives can all be achieved with appropriate pro- tection of the environment, of fisheries and wildlife habitats, and of the right of all citizens to enjoy a broad range of recreational activities if the present process of reclassification of public lands is modified to prevent the almost unrestricted authority of 24 federal agencies and 47 public sub-units of the federal government to have lands placed into classifications which formally pro- hibit or severely restrict multiple use of the lands, including particularly their use for explora- tion and production of energy resources; and mus. the continuing enlargement of wilderness areas without a thorough evaluation of theu' Mel-a] and other resources, such as the expansion of Forest Service roadless areas. the enormous expansion of restricted areas in Alaska, and similar limiting actions by the federal rities the Forest Service's RARE II program and the Bureau of Land Management's ?zz-mess Review) clearly penalizes the present generation in a most severe and perhaps disas- ous manner: and WHEREAS. the existing procedures for reclassification of federal lands do not permit effect- ive consideration of the potential of these lands to meet the current energy needs of the nation, are most complex, very time consuming, and involve overlapping jurisdiction and authority of numerous federal agencies; and WHEREAS, important examples of this problem are: (1) although the 19.4 million acres of land subject to the Wilderness Act of 1964 are technically open to oil and gas activities, no min- eral leases have been granted in a wilderness area since the passage of the Act in 1964; (2) mineral exploration and development is now formally prohibited or severely restricted on approx- (3) imately 70 percent of the some 800 million acres of federal lands (The Department of the Interior, Final Report of the Task Force on the Availability of Federally Owned Minerals, Volume land under study is now being treated as "dc-facto" wilderness, and evaluation of its resource potential by the private sector is prohibited; and (4) further proposals are now pending before the Congress to increase drastically the acreage unavailable for mineral development; WHEREAS, the non-development of the potential energy resources underlying these public lands constitutes gross physical waste of these resources; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Interstate Oil Compact Commission recommends to the President, the Congress, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Director of the Bureau of Land Management and other administrative agency heads that they act immediately to reorganize the procedures for reclassifying public lands and for permitting com- patible use of these lands. particularly in the following respects: Reduce substantially the number of federal agencies with authority and jurisdiction 1 . over public lands . Create more ?exible rules permitting and encouraging compatible multiple use of public lands. 3. Institute on a priority basis a thorough study program of all resources on and under the public lands, including providing to private industry access to such lands for mineral evaluation before reclassification, in order to assure that the rights, privileges and interests of all citizens are given consideration, since the federal government holds this land in trust for all its citizens. 4. Establish reasonable and practical procedures for reevaluation of the classification of wilderness land as new needs of the citizens develop and as new techniques are created to measure the hydrocarbon resources of these lands. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Executive Director is hereby directed to furnish a duly certified copy of this resolution to the President of the United States, the Congress, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Director of the Bureau of Land Management. and the Governors of the Compacting States. Resolution on Hazardous Waste Disposal WHEREAS, the Santini Amendment in the House of Representatives and the Bentsen Amend- ment in the United States Senate propose to exempt oil and gas drilling muds and oil field brines -17- from the Environmental Protection Agency's Hazardous Waste Management Regulations. pending a substantive review of the need for applying such regUIa-tions to these materials: and WHEREAS, the IOCC applauds these proposals and strongly supports the temporary exemp" tion of oil and gas drilling muds and oil field brines from these regulations; and WHEREAS, these proposed restrictions may well constitute a serious and unnecessary im- pediment to domestic oil and gas exploration, development and production; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the IOCC stands ready to assist the EPA in a study of such muds and brines with reference to the development of requirements, if any are found necessary, to supplement the existing controls ovar such materials that are already imposed by the vast majority of oil and gas producing states. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Executive Director is hereby directed to furnish a duly certified copy of this resolution to the President of the United States, to the Administrator of the EPA, to appropriate Members of Congress, and to the Governors of the Compacting States. Resolution Throughout the years, the Interstate Oil Compact Commission has been privileged to hear many excellent speakers at its meetings. It is through these speakers that the Compact Commie- sion is able to keep abreast of new developments and new technology in the field of oil and gas conservation . The speakers who addressed this meeting are men of outstanding ability in their respective ?elds, and the benefits of their advice and experience are a valuable contribution to the Inter- state Oil Compact Commission. The Commission is most appreciative of the time and effort they have expended in the preparation and presentation of their papers. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Interstate Oil Compact Commission, in meeting duly assembled at Lexington, Kentucky, this 20th day of June, 1979, that it expresses its grati- tude to the following speakers who addressed this meeting: Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. Governor William P. Clements Jr. Joe B. Adams James W. Collins Paul B. Crawford Lucio D'Andrea David Drake Granville Dutton Alan V. Hager Fred 0. Hallmark Donald C. Haney Robert M.
