Range Resources APPROVED Water Management Plan
  (PDF-210KB)

May 12, 2009 through July 15, 2014 - This water plan has been approved by the PA DEP. The PDF outlines a water withdrawal plan for Cross Creek, Cross Creek Lake and Chartiers Run, in Washington County. There is also a plan for Whiteley Creek in Greene County, as well as four commercial hydrants through Pennsylvania American Water Company in Washington County.

Range Resources Water Management Plan summary:
800,000 gallons per day from Cross Creek Lake
200,000 gallons per day from Cross Creek
200,000 gallons per day from Chartiers Run
200,000 gallons per day from Whiteley Creek
2,592,000 gallons from four PAWC hydrants
Total = 3,992,000 gallons of water per day from all sources

Almost 4-million gallons of water per day (3,992,000) can be withdrawn from the Ohio River Basin watershed in two counties by Range Resources through July 15, 2014.

NOTE: This amount only includes Range Resources water withdrawals and does not include de-watering of the Ohio River Basin by scores of other drilling companies.

Example: Eastern American Energy Corp. also has an approved water plan for withdrawal of 200,000 gallons of water per day from Whiteley Creek.

800,000
GALLONS PER DAY FROM THIS LAKE


Range Resources' DEP-approved water plan allows for withdrawing 800,000 gallons per day from Cross Creek Lake, a prized fishing lake in Washington County, PA.

FOUR MONTHS AFTER APPROVAL
See how the new water withdrawal plan is going in 'before and after' photos below. The Washington County Parks and Recreation Department indicated in mid-November that part of the water level drop was due to a "leaky gate" which had temporarily been repaired.
