1 request for productions 37 through 39 and 1 chemicals that are in this particular product. 2 question 42 we asked for the identification of 2 MR.. KOMOROSKJ: And so I want to b 3 all proprietary chemicals used by Range 3 clear, if we have it, we'll provide it. We 4 specific to the Yeager site. Again, we 4 wont say that we have it but we won't disclose 5 received some things from the DEP that have 5 it Unless - I can't imagine this to be the 6 Sierzegas on it. We didn't receive anything 6 case -- unless we have some confidentiality 7 from you guys responsive to that. 7 agreement. 8 So, again, I wanted to clarify we're not S But the way things typically work is Range 9 looking for anything from Sierzegas. We're 9 will ask to have a certain situation addressed.
10 looking for just the Yeager site. And, in 10 And a vendor will come in and say I am going t 11 particular, some of the documents we did 11 use this and I will represent that it will 12 receive from the DEP, there's MSDS sheets that 12 solve your problem or the best we have to try 13 have been produced. But the MSDS sheets lists 13 to solve your problem. But we don't typically 14 for instance, on a couple products 100 percent 14 ask them how chemically it works or what the 15 proprietary. 15 constituents are. 16 So what we're looking for when we say 16 So it's typically the case that we would 17 proprietary we're looking for the actual 17 not know what - if they don't share with us. 18 chemicals, the names of them. [can't believe 18 Of if they have a name and its like a Beta 19 there's anything exotic that I haven't heard of 19 product or it's Beta 900. If we know it's Beta 20 before. But the fact of the matter is on the 20 900, we'll tell you what that is. And whatever 21 MSDS sheets, some of the things that the DEP 21 Material Safety Data Sheet they made available 22 provided to us that they believe were used at 22 for it, we can provide that. 23 Yeager indicates that they are 100 percent 23 1 just don't want to overcommit to 24 proprietary so we have no idea what that might 24 something. And my view is if it's available 25 be. 25 you should have it and we should have it. So
32 34
1 MR. KOMOROSIU: Well, that one, if we 1 if it's available, you'll have it and we'll 2 have the information on what the proprietary 2 have it 3 chemicals are, we'll provide it If we don't 3 MS. SMITH: So I guess that's the 4 have it because it's - because the vendor 4 point that were kind of stuck on is if it's 5 considers it proprietary, then we won't 1 5 available. Because for us there's no other way 6 don't know if there's -- I don't know what we 6 to get it other than to ask you guys for it. 7 could do better than that. 7 MR. KOMOROSKI: Right 8 MS. SMITH: Okay. Because here's my 8 MS. SMITH: So there is no other 9 issue with that. We're not asking for - so 9 avenue for us to go. And, obviously, with
10 that we're clear, we're not asking for the 10 regard to our burden to have to prove on this 11 breakdown or formula, so to speak. We're 11 appeal it becomes essential to know exactly 12 asking for what the actual chemical was. 12 what's in there in terms of making a 13 MR, KOMOROSKI: Okay. 13 hydrogeological connection between the site an 14 MS. SMITH: You know what I mean. 14 Mr. Kiskadden's water supply. 15 And my understanding is with a lot of vendors 15 Sowe do have an issue with that I 16 or manufacturers of this the thing they hold 16 understand what youre saying that Range may 17 near and dear as proprietary is the actual 17 not know. But, again, were not in a position 18 formulation of it Because that's unique in 18 where we can go and ask, you know, Range's 19 and of itself. That's really what they attempt 19 subcontractor, whatever, for that proprietary 20 to protect. It's not necessarily the chemicals 20 information. That's not something we can do or 21 that are used. Its the quantity of the 21 our own. 22 chemicals used in the product. 22 So that's kind of sticking point with me. 23 So at this point what we're asking for when 23 Because while I understand the position that 24 we're asking for the proprietary chemicals is 24 Range is in in not knowing some of those 25 exactly what What are the names of the 25 things, its something that we do need to know

1 for purposes of this case. 1 motions. 2 MR. KOMOROSKJ: How about this? Hoi 1 2 Again. I would rather have all the 3 about if we don't have the information on a 3 information out there. I mean, let's find out 4 particular chemical, then we will ask the 4 if there is anything that we used that ended up 5 vendor for that information. As Range we'll 5 in Mr. Kiskadden's water supply or didn't. An 6 ask for it and provide you what we obtain. And 6 whether there's official negative inference or 7 then go on from there. 7 not,inrnymind,thelackof -- theabsenceof 8 MS. SMITH: Well, I am agreeable to 8 information creates a void that is going to be 9 that as long as what you obtain from them is 9 filled with something. I would rather till the
10 we're not giving you the proprietary chemicals 10 void with facts and science rather than what 11 because that's not what we're going to do. You 11 someone might suppose from something that 12 understand the position it puts me in because 12 neither one of us occasioned. So, no, we'll 13 now I don't know what is there. You guys don't 13 use best efforts. 14 know what is there. 14 We can inform the Judge. If anyone has 15 So how do I go forward with this and saying 15 ideas how to get that information, obtain that 16 1 don't - you know, Judge I would love to tell 16 information well pursue it We want to 17 you what's in there and whether its shown up 17 accomplish - I have tried to put myself in 18 in my client's water but I can't tell you 18 your shoes. I don't do that well, but I - and 19 because Range doesn't know. 19 so I think that's a reasonable request. And 20 MR. KOMOROSKI: Right. 20 we'll do everything possible to get the 21 MS. SMITH: Because at that point - 21 information so that we know, okay, this 22 what I am trying to avoid with this, Ken, is 1 22 material was used at this concentration. And 23 am trying to avoid then asking the court for a 23 then compare that with what is found in Mr. 24 negative inference against you guys. I don't 24 Kiskadden's water supply and see if there is a 25 want to hold you accountable for something you 25 connection or not.
36 38
1 don't know. But at the same time if you're the 1 But if something is found there and you 2 only source of the information for us, I don't 2 say, well, we know 95 percent of what Range 3 have any options. 3 used, but we don't know that other five 4 MR. KOMOROSKI: Again, we'll work 4 percent, that's a problem. That's a problem 5 with you. I mean, we'll try to find a way to 5 for you and its a problem for us. 6 get the information. Range doesn't have any 6 MS. SMITH: Okay. So we can let the 7 interest in keeping it proprietary. 7 Judge know that we've tentatively reached an 8 MS. SMITH: Sure. 8 agreement on that And it's really contingent 9 MR KOMOROSKI: So to the extent -- 9 on what the manufacturers are willing to give
10 it would be better for Range to share - to get 10 Range to give to us. 11 all the proprietary information and to share it 11 MR KOMOROSKI: How that actually 12 with you. That way there can't be any issue of 12 evidences itself, yes. 13 negative inference or anything else. 13 MS. SMITH: Okay. And then request 14 MS. SMITH: So can we agree to this 14 44 was — again, goes to water testing supplies 15 and maybe let the Judge know this on Thursday. 15 at the Yeager site itself. And I think we have 16 That what we've agreed to is that Range is 16 covered that. That you're willing to give us 17 going to go heck and ask for all the 17 any and all testing that was done along with 18 proprietary information. We just don't know 18 all the QA/QC data for each of the tests; is 19 where that stands yet? 19 that right? 20 MR. KOMOROSKI: Yes. We can do th 20 MR. KOMOROSKI: That's correct 21 And, again, I will commit to you that well use 21 MS. SMITH: Okay. So we're good on 22 our best efforts to get the information. I 22 that one. Then this one l think kind ofgoes 23 mean, conversely we won't use some half attemp t 23 back to - 1 was searching for it before when 24 to say, hey, it's okay for you to say it's 24 we were talking about the Notices of Violaxkr 25 proprietary but we've got to go through the 25 and any consent orders and that sort of thing.

Ii ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE RENWAND: As I
2 understand it, the first motion was you worked it out,
3 right?
4 MR. KOr4OROSKI: I believe so, yes.
5 ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE RENWAND: The motion to
6 compel.
7
MS. SMITH: Yes. Your Honor, with the motion to
i compel, we did meet and confer for two hours on Monday,
9 Mr. Komoroski and myself and Ms. Fahnestock.
10 ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE RENWAND: Great. Thank
I,
11
you.
12
MS. SMITH: And what resulted from that was Range
13 has agreed, and please correct me if I am wrong, Ken has
14 agreed to re-answer all of this request for admission,
15 request for production of documents that we put in a
16 letter, 17-page letter, to them as to what we had
17 objections to, has agreed to re-answer them.
18
There is only one caveat to that: that one is we
19 had requested a request for production of all the names
20 of all of the proprietary chemicals that were used up at
the Yeager site. Mr. Komoroski has made me aware that
22 he will do his best to get those from Range.
23 However, Range may not have some of that
241 information, because they would be with the third-party
tractor w-ho actually applied that or the manufacturer
09/17/2013
if of that particular product. And so obviously, I would
2 still have an issue with that but Mr. --
3
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE RENWAND: If that comes
4 out where, you know, you don't get all of it or
whatever, just let me know. We will discuss that. I
6 understand that you can't guarantee that right now.
7
MR. KOMOROSKI: That is right, Your Honor. Yes,
8 we -- on absolutely every item that was part of the
9 motion to compel, we agreed to improve upon our answers
10 and our production and in all of the request for
11 admission, that we are going to provide much more
12 elaborate and helpful answers to those requests. And
13 the only one that I just simply wasn't able to -- what I
14 said as far as proprietary chemicals, if we don't -- we
15 don't have that information. The vendor has it.
16
We will use our best efforts. We will make
17 personal inquiry to the vendor, ask for them to provide
18 it and then we will inform the Board; and perhaps there
19 is something -- if we don't get it, perhaps there is
20 something the Board can do; so, perhaps everything that
21 is in the motion to compel, we agreed to improve upon
22 our answers, our production, redo more elaborately our
23 responses for request for admission; but on that one, it
24 is honestly the best that we can do.

Pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 1021 .102 and Rules 4009.12 and 4014 of the Pennsylvania
Rules of Civil Procedure, Permittee Range Resources - Appalachia, LLC ("Range"), hereby
serves these Amended Responses and Objections ("Responses") to Appellant's Request for
Production of Documents and Request for Admission (collectively, "Requests").
GENERAL OBJECTIONS
Range makes the following General Objections to the Requests. These General
Objections are part of the Responses to each and every Request. The assertion of the same,
similar, or additional objections in the individual objections to these Requests, or the failure to
assert any additional objections, does not waive any of Range's General Objections as set forth
below:
.
EXHIBIT
09/17/2013
F- L-1 RESPONSE; The "Excavation Summary Report," as referenced in the Yeager
Drill Pit Closure Plan, is just another name for the "Range Resources Post Remediation
Summary Report" prepared by Weavertown Environmental Group. Despite the October 20,
2011 date on the report, it was not provided to Range until December 2011. Range submitted the
report on December 22, 2011. A copy of the report has already been produced and is available at
RRA-LK_002022.
35. Please produce copies of all expert reports, including all references relied upon
and cited, by any and all experts Range Resources intends on calling at the hearing/trial of this
matter.
RESPONSE; Range is unable to respond to this request because it has not yet
identified its testifying experts. Range will respond to this request as soon as possible. Please
feel free to contact Range's counsel to discuss this further.
36. Please produce copies of all resumes and/or curriculum vitae of any and all
experts Range Resources intends on calling at the hearing/trial of this matter.
RESPONSE: Range is unable to respond to this request because it has not yet
identified its testifying experts. Range will respond to this request as soon as possible.
37. Please produce any and all documents, including but not limited to MSDS, which
identify all proprietary chemicals, substances and products used to treat the Yeager
Impoundment and Drill Cuttings Pit,
RESPONSE: At various times, the Impoundment and Drill Cuttings Pit were
treated with defoamers and biocides/bacteriacides. Range has produced the MSDS for each of
these products, as well as any other documents that help identify the products.
20
09/17/2013
.
38. Please produce any and all documents, including but not limited to MSDS, which
identify all proprietary chemicals, substances and products used in any drilling fluid or mud at
the Yeager Site.
RESPONSE: Range has produced documents identifying the chemicals,
substances, and products used at the Yeager Site. The MSDS are often useful for developing
some understanding of what is in a particular chemical or product. However, they vary widely in
terms of usefulness. Some manufacturers include very little information about the actual
components of a particular product. As a. result, Range is currently in the process of seeking
additional information from manufacturers that have failed to provide enough information about
their products in the MSDS. We will supplement our responses and production as we receive
that information.
.
In addition, below is a list of the products that were used in connection with drilling fluid
or mud at the Yeager site:
ABS MUL ABS-40 Mud/Slurry ABS-40 Barite

Range will not respond to this request.
42. Please produce any and all documents, including but not limited to MSDS, which
identify all proprietary chemicals, substances and products used in stimulating the Yeager Well
7H.
RESPONSE: Range has produced documents identifying the chemicals,
substances, and products used in the Yeager Well 7H, as well as others that are used above the
surface. The MSDS are often useful for developing some understanding of what is in a
particular chemical or product. However, they vary widely in terms of usefulness. Some
manufacturers include very little information about the actual components of a particular
product. As a result, Range is currently in the process of seeking additional information from
manufacturers that have failed to provide enough information about their products in the MSDS.
We will supplement our responses and production as we receive that information.
In addition, below is a list of the products that were used in the hydraulic fracturing
process at the Yeager 7H Well:
• MC SS-5075 • MC 8-8650 • MCS-2510T • FRW-200 • HVG-i • Unigel CMHPG Guar Product / Carboxymethlhydroxypropyl guar
The MSDS for each of these products has been produced.
43. Please produce any and all documents relative to any spills, releases, discharges
and/or remediation which have occurred or are presently occurring at the Yeager Drill Site.
RESPONSE; Range has produced documents relevant to any spills, releases,
discharges, and remediation at the Yeager Drill Site. Two of the spills/releases were particularly

Re: Loren Kiskadden v. Department of Environmental Protection EHB Docket No 2011-149-R
Dear Counsel:
I am in receipt of Range's Responses and Objections to Appellant's First Set of Interrogatories, Second Set of Requests for Production of Documents and Second Set of Requests for Admissions (collectively, the "Discovery Responses") relative to the above-captioned matter. I am writing pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 1021.93 in an attempt to confer with you and avoid the necessity of a Motion to Compel. I will address the issues with each section of the Discovery Responses in turn below.
INTERRIOGATORIES
First, reference is made to Range's Responses to Appellant's First Set of Interrogatories. Range did not provide full responses to Interrogatories Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 7. With regard to Interrogatory No. 3, Appellant asks that Range identify all products applied to McAdams Road to prevent the spreading of dust. Range explains that "water" was applied "either by Range or on behalf of Range." This response does not identify the type of water applied nor does it identify who applied the water to the road "on behalf of Range." Range's response that "water" was applied is insufficient in light of the fact that "water" can be used to refer to a 'variety of fluids in the context of this Appeal, i.e., brine water, frac water, flowback., produced water or freshwater. As a result, please identify the type of water applied to McAdams Road and specifically identify who, on behalf of Range, was responsible for its application. Such a response was and is required as part of Appellant's Interrogatory No. 3.
Interrogatories Nos. 4 & 5 ask that Range identify where "in the analytical resting" of the soil sampling for the Yeager Pad Drill Pit Closure and Water Quality Monitoring Plan does it indicate that acetone and methyl-ethyl ketone (MEK) were the result of laboratory contamination. In response to these Interrogatories, Range makes reference to an EPA document which described that acetone and MEK may be common laboratory contaminants.

Range Counsel February 22, 2013 Page 2
As explained in the Yeager Pad Drill Pit Closure and Water Quality Monitoring Plan, CEC relied on the fact that acetone and MEK are common laboratory contaminants to support its claim that they are "not suspected to be associated with drill pit operations." While the EPA document may be appropriate guidance, Range has failed to reference any actual analytical data which supports would support claim that acetone and MEK were in fact laboratory contaminants during the testing of soil samples S-Ol through S-17. Appellant requests that Range respond to these Interrogatories in order to properly answer the question originally presented.
Further, Range failed to respond to Interrogatory No. 7. In particular, Interrogatory No. 7 requested, in part, that Range identify whether certain listed products were used at the Yeager Wells, '(eager Impoundment and/or the Yeager Drill Cuttings Pit, including identification of for what purpose the products were used for. Range responded by stating that, "the following products pay have been used at the Yeager Drill Site." (emphasis in original). Additionally, Range further qualified its response by stating that, "the above list includes products that are commonly used for the purposes referenced above but may not have been used at the Yeaer Drill Site." (emphasis added). Because of these qualifications, Range has not answered Appellant's request
The question presented by Interrogatory No. 7 is specific to the Yeager Site. Of most importance, Appellant's inquiry attempts to differentiate those products utilized at specific aspects of the '(eager Site from those that were not used. Although Range identified some products used in "hydraulic fracturing," or "rotary air drilling," it failed to identify from those products which were used specifically at the Yeager Site. Rather, as explained above, Range qualified its response such that any product listed "may not have been used at the '(eager Drill Site." This entirely dodges the impetus of Interrogatory No. 7.
As a result. Appellant is requesting that Range provide a complete response to Interrogatory No. 7 by specifically identifying and including, without qualification, those products actually used at the '(eager Site, the chemical that make-up the product, and the purpose for which it was used.
REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
Second, reference is made to Range's Responses to Appellant's Second Set of Requests for Documents wherein Range failed to produce the documentation responsive to Request Nos. 1,2-7,9-13, 19,22-26 and 28-29. Appellant Will address each in turn below:
With regard to Request No. 1, Appellant requested all documents that Range has collected regarding Appellant's history. Range admitted to performing background research on Appellant, which includes criminal histories and complaints about Appellant's property. However, Range failed to produce any documents it collected relative to the same. Additionally, Range failed to raise a proper objection as Appellant is entitled to any documents that Range has collected regarding his personal life and history.
Writer's email: [email protected]
09/17/2013
Range Counsel February 22, 2013 Page 3
Such documentation is discoverable and relevant as it will likely lead to evidence to be used at trial. As a result, Appellant requests that Range produce all documents encompassed by this Request
With regard to Request Nos. 2-7, Appellant requested a variety of documents relative to the March 24, 2010 release from the Yeager Drill Cuttings Pit. Specifically, Appellant made requests for documents, including but not limited to, "inspection reports, notes, memoranda, correspondence, emails, internal company memoranda, summaries and Notices of Violation" Range failed to produce any emails or internal company memoranda responsive to Appellant's requests made in Nos. 2-7 regarding the March 24, 2010 leak, subsequent excavation and clean-up and analytical testing which took place as an incident thereto. Appellant requests that Range supplement Its production to include these documents requested.
With regard to Request No. 9, Appellant requested "any and all documents," including "emails" and "internal company memoranda," regarding the flushing of the Yeager Drill Cuttings Pit with 30,000 gallons of water on July 14, 2011. Range again failed to produce any emails or internal company memoranda responsive to Appellant's request made in No. 9. Appellant requests that Range supplement its production to include these documents requested.
With regard to Request Nos. 10-13, Appellant requested "any and all documents," including "emails" and "internal company memoranda," regarding: 1) the March 2010 release from the Yeager Drill Cuttings Pit, 2) the soils removed from the Pit in May 2011; and 3) any rips, holes and/or tears in the liner of the Pit. While Range provided reference to some documents which were previously produced, none of these documents fell within Appellant's request for "emails" or other "internal company memoranda." Furthermore, in many cases, Range acknowledges that there are "many documents responsive to this request" Yet, Range again failed to produce any emails or internal company memoranda responsive to Appellant's requests made in Nos. 10-13. Appellant requests that Range supplement its production to include these documents requested.
With regard to Request No. 19, Appellant requested "any and all documents," including "emails" and "internal company memoranda," regarding the closure of the Yeager Impoundment. Range failed to produce any emails or internal company memoranda responsive to Appellant's request made in No. 19. Appellant requests that Range supplement its production to include these documents requested.
With regard to Request Nos. 22-23, Appellant requested "any and all documents" relative to drilling fluids bubbling through the stone of the cellar of Yeager Well 7H. Range responded that none of the documents referenced by Appellant refer to "drilling fluids bubbling through the stone." While Appellant used the term "bubbling" to describe the occurrence referenced in RRA-LK 004118, Appellant acknowledges that the document
A- Big

09/17/2013
Range Counsel February 22, 2013 Page 4
Nevertheless, Appellant provided reference to the proper documentation such that Range was on notice of what Appellant was referring to in his request. Range further responds that "there was no testing performed" and the "site inspection reports at the most significant documents that address the drill mud in the cellar of Yeager Well 714."
Please note that Appellant requested "any and all documents" - which is not limited to those Range deems "most significant" Furthermore, RRA-LK 004118 indicates that R.R. & Sons was on site digging for the cellars. Additionally, RR.A-LK 004119 indicates that Myzac was on site to clean up the drill mud in the stone pad. Appellant's request encompasses documents relative to these events and the work performed on site. Range's production fails to provide any documents regarding either of these events which were apparently taken in response to the "drill mud pumping through the stone" at Yeager 7Ff. Appellant requests that Range supplement its production to include these documents as well as any other documents as requested.
With regard to Request No. 24, Appellant requested documents regarding "any tiowback or produced water emptied into the Yeager Drill Cuttings Pit as referenced in RRA-KA 004099 [sic].... " Appellant's reference to "RRA-KA 004099" was a typographical error. The proper reference is to "RRA-LK 004099" which describes "flowback trickling into the pit" Notwithstanding this error, Appellant's request for any and all documents regarding flowback in the Yeager Drill Cuttings Pit stands. Range failed to produce any documents responsive to the same. As a result, Appellant requests that Range supplement its production to include these documents.
With regard to Request No. 25, Appellant requested documents addressing the rebuilding of the Yeager Drill Cuttings Pit. While Range produced certain documents which it believes "help summarize those activities," Range failed to produce any documentation indicating how the drill pit was rebuilt, what tasks were undertaken as a part of the rebuilding and who was responsible for those tasks. These documents would clearly fall within the purview of a request for "any and all documents" regarding the Yeager Drill Cuttings Pit rebuilding. As a result, Appellant requests that Range supplement its production to include documents responsive to this request
With regard to Request Nos. 26 and 28. Appellant requested the documents that Range relied upon in its August. 12, 2011 letter to state that: 1) "sodium bicarbonate" is typical groundwater in Appellant's area and 2) elevated levels of iron and manganese suggest that a water well penetrates a coal seam. In response, in part, Range stated that there are publicly available documents which would support this contention. Range further references an EPA study which "may be a useful resource." However, such an explanation fails to response to Appellant's request as presented. Appellant requested ft pecific documents that Range relied ,tpoii when it drafted its August 12, 2011 letter to
Mr. Kiskadden.
Writer's email: [email protected]
09/17/2013
Range Counsel February 22, 2013 Page 5
In drafting its August 12, 2011, if Range solely relied upon the referenced EPA study as a basis for its contentions, please confirm that this is the case. Otherwise, Appellant requests that Range supplement its production to include any such docwnentation..
With regard to Request No. 29, Appellant requested any and all methane testing and corresponding QA/QC data. Range responded by providing what it believed in its "opinion" were the "three noteworthy documents" that relate to the methane analysis. However. Appellant requested "any and all" documents, not only those that Range has deemed "noteworthy:' If there are no other documents in existence other than those referenced by Range, please confirm that this is the case. Otherwise, Appellant requests that Range supplement its production to include all documents responsive to the request.
REOUESTS FOR ADMISSION
Third, reference is made to Range's Responses to Appellant's Second Set of Requests for Admissions wherein Range failed to provide an adequate answer to Request Nos. 4, 11, 18, 28, 34, 45, 48-50 and 52. Appellant presented such admission requests to Range in order to narrow the issues for trial and condense the case to be presented before the Board. However, Range fails to respond to the requests as presented by Appellant which fails to allow Appellant to proceed in this fashion. In particular, Appellant has noted the following issues with Range's responses:
Regarding Request Nos. 4, 11, 18, 28, 34 and 52, Appellant requests that Range make admissions regarding certain chemicals being a component of products used in the drilling process at the Yeager Site. In response, Range explains that it cannot admit or deny these requests because, although a chemical may be a component of certain products included in Range's PPC Plan, "most of these products were never even at the Yeager Site, much less used." As such, responses to these requests can be made in conjunction with a complete response to Interrogatory No. 7 which requires Range to specifically identify those products in fact used at the Yeager Site, as explained above. Once Range has identified those products used at the Yeager Site, it can either admit or deny whether certain chemicals identified by Appellant are components of such a product. A response in this fashion would appropriately satisfy the request as presented by Appellant.
- Regarding Request Ns. 45 and 48-50, Appellant requests that Range make certain admissions regarding chemicals that were reported as detected in background soil samples taken pursuant to the Yeager Pad Drill Pit Closure and Water Quality Monitoring Plan. In its responses to these requests, Range fails to answer the question presented by Appellant. For example, in Request No. 45, Appellant asks that Range admit that benzene was NOT detected in the background soil sample. Range admits that "the Pace Report" indicates that benzene was detected in the background soil sample. However, Appellant's request did not ask Range to admit that which was reported by Pace Analytical.
Writer's email: k1smith(4smithbutz1aw,com
09/17/2013
Range Counsel February 22, 2013 Page 6
Rather, Appellant's request required Range to review the actual data accompanying the "Pace Report" to determine whether benzene was in fact present in the background soil sample, regardless of the narrative provided. The same is true for Request Nos. 48-50 which make mirroring inquiries regarding toluene and xylene.
I am also in receipt of Range's Amended Responses and Objections to Appellant's Requests for Production of Documents and Requests for Admissions (collectively, the "Amended Discovery Responses"). Pursuant to the Board's Order, counsel for Appellant and counsel for Range previously met to confer regarding the responses Range previously submitted to Appellant's first set of discovery requests. The Amended Discovery Responses were produced by Range pursuant to an agreement reached between the Parties at the "meet and confer" session relative to Appellant's first set of discovery in lieu of Appellant pursuing an already-filed Motion to Compel. However, with Board permission, Appellant reserved his right to pursue his Motion if Range failed to produce documents that were properly requested, including documents relative to the proprietary information of the products used by Range at the Yeager Site (See, Request Nos. 37, 38 and 42). In its Amended Discovery Responses, Range indicated it was seeking the proprietary information sought from the product manufacturers To date, Appellant has not received any additional documentation from Range in this regard. Please advise as to the status of this endeavor and when Appellant can expect to receive the proprietary information requested. If Range is unable to satisfy this production by March 4, 2013. Appellant will be forced to renew his Motion to Compel on this matter before the Board.
As a result of the foregoing, I am requesting that you please send revised answers that fully respond to Appellant's requests. Such a course of action will appropriate limit the issues for the Board's consideration at trial. Because these responses were already submitted pursuant to an extended deadline, I am requesting your response no later than March 4, 2013. In the event that you are unable to supplement your responses in the manner requested above, I will be forced to file a Motion to Compel. I look forward to hearing from you..
V truly yours,

1 that would be used in the drilling process.
2 MS. SMITH: That's why we asked in
3
the Interrogatories be specific about. Because
4 otherwise this is just around and around and
5
around. It doesn't solve the problem. Again,
6 our goal for this is to narrow the issues for
7
trial. To agree upon the products that were
8
there. And agree upon their content.
9 It seems like it would be a fairly simple
10 task. Which, obviously, it's not. But seems
11 like it would be a very simple task to get to
12 and get done because Range has knowledge of
13 what was used there. They have the MSDS for
14 the product. And the product will list what
15 the chemical is. And then if there's a
16 proprietary chemical, then that's also
17 addressed in our letter.
18 You weren't at the first meet and confer
19 with Mr. Kornoroski where he indicated that he
20 was going to do his best to get all of that
21 information to us. He then represented that in
22 a hearing before the Judge where the Judge
23 indicated you will get it to us. And if you
24 run into problems in trying to get that from
25 your you us-e-,---then
Eagle Feather Reporting [email protected] 724-746-3383
09/17/2013
148
1 you come back and you tell us.
2 The response that we got to that in
3 discovery was we're still trying.
4 MR. GIBBS: Yes. I can tell you
5
that.
6
MS. SMITH: I appreciate the trying.
7
But this is now four months old since the first
8 time we had the meet and confer and conference
9 with the Judge.
10
MR. GIBBS: In December?
11 MS. SMITH: Was it December?
12 MR. GIBBS: Three months. I mean, I
13 can you tell you that responses are trickling
14 in. And we will, in fact, produce all the
15 documents we get in response. Not all
16 responses are positive. But you know --
17 MS. SMITH: I think -- and maybe this
18 will help because if you're getting responses
19 from the third-party contractor saying we're
20 not giving it to you, then that needs to be
21 identified to us. Because then what the Court
22 indicated is he'll give us an order making them
23 give it to us. So for you as Range asking for
24 it, they won't provide it to you, the Court
25already said he will issue an order to get
Eagle Feather Reporting [email protected] 724-746-3383
09/17/2013
149
1 So if you can identify -- right now
2 identify the ones that say, nope, we're not
3 giving it to you, then I can take that to the
4 Court. And we can get that done that way.
5 That takes that off your plate to give to us.
6
If you're getting responses, you know, from
7 people, identify the people you're getting
8 responses to and we'll hold off on compelling
9
anything from them. But if you've gotten
10 people that say definitely not, identify those
11 people to us and we'll go to court with it.
12 Because the whole conversation with the Judge
13 was and Mr. Komoroski -- and I take him at his
14 word -- said we'll do our very best to get this
15
information. But understand because some of it
16
is proprietary they may not be willing to give
17
it to us.
MR. GIBBS: Right.
19
MS. SMITH: I understand that. The
20
Judge's response to it was we're going to get
21 it one way or the other. You make your best
22 effort to get it. If you get road blocked, you
23 come back to me and we'll go another avenue to
24 get it. So that's why I am requesting here
25 today with regard to proprietary stuff as you
Eagle Feather Reporting [email protected] 724-746-3383
09/17/2013
150
1 have represented you have got some positive
2 responses and some not so positive responses.
3
If you have gotten ones that say we're not
4 going to provide that to you or you have got to
5
jump through a million hoops to get it, please
6 identify those people for us in the letter on
7
Tuesday. And then we'll take it from there
8 with the Judge to say, Your Honor, these are
9
the ones that Range identified that will not
10 produce the documents. And then the Judge has
11 already said he will do what he needs to do to
12 make that happen.
13
MR. GIBBS: Okay. I mean, there are
14 some who have committed to, you know, research
15 the issue and get back to us. I certainly
16 don't want to push them with an order from the
17 Judge at this point.
18 MS. SMITH: And that's our problem.
19 At this point it needs to be pushed. Because
20 we have deadlines coming and going left and
21 right. And that was part of the reason for
22 getting the continuance yesterday was here are
23 the proprietary chemicals that we have no
24 knowledge of. Range has answered in Request
25 for Admissions they don't know. The DEP has
Eagle Feather Reporting [email protected] 724-746-3383
09/17/2013
151
1 answered in Request for Admissions they don't
2 know. So the only person that has that is this
3 third-party contractor who is not a party to
4 this case who has to be in some way made to
5 give this information because this information
6 is needed by our experts to complete their
7 reports.
8 And so there is -- time is of the essence
9 now in terms of getting that information. We
10 have waited and we have waited. So if they
11 have gotten back to you and said, yeah, we will
12 get back to you, there's got to be some
13 timeframe with that. It's not that they get
14 back to us in a year. I mean, this case won't
15 be around in a year. So if they're dragging
16 their feet on it -- it's been several weeks or
17 several months, you know, then that needs to be
18 indicated, too. So we can we make a decision
19 along with the Judge as to how we're going to
20 proceed.
21 Maybe that's a conference. Maybe that's a
22 conference call with the Judge to say, look,
23 Your Honor, these five companies have said
24 absolutely we're not giving it to you. These
25 companies say we're looking into. We'll get
Eagle Feather Reporting [email protected] 724-746-3383
09/17/2013
152
1 back to you. Have not yet. And then maybe the
2 Judge issues some sort of order that puts a
3 deadline on it. Something so that we are
4 advancing the ball forward. Because I ant sure
5 it doesn't look like from your perspective.
6 But from our perspective it looks like the ball
7 has been stagnant for three months. Because we
8 have had no response. We have had no
9 supplement. We have no information given to us
10 where this stands.
11 And the Judge has asked us to come back.
12 In fact, we have a motion pending. And he
13 said, you come back, that motion is renewed and
14 I will rule on it. So we're kind of in this
15 limbo area.
16 MR. GIBBS: Right. And I mean, I
17 think it's important to understand, too, that
18 those requests to the third parties did not go
19 immediately in December. I mean, first we had
20 to go through and identify each third party.
21 Locate them. Determine what was, in fact,
22 missing on their MSDS so that we could give an
23 appropriately precise description of what we're
24 seeking. And so you know a lot of those didn't
25 go out until February. So we still --I think
Eagle Feather Reporting [email protected] 724-746-3383
09/17/2013
153
1 that it's appropriate to leave additional time
2 for the third parties to --
3 MS. SMITH: I am not saying that I am
4 objectionable to that. That needs to be laid
5 out in a letter. Like, you know, these are the
6 companies we sent out to, you know, information
requests to these particular companies on these
dates. To date, we have received nos from
whomever. We have received we're looking into
10 it from whoever. We've received, you know,
11 definitely yes and have received documents in.
12 If you already have documents in under the
13 discovery rules, you have to supplement when
14 you get them. So we would request that you
15
provide them.
16
But in that letter give us an indication
17
so we can go back to the Court and say, look,
18 Your Honor, at this point you know we may need
19 your help because it doesn't appear as though
20 -- it appears that Range is doing what they
21 need to do but these other companies are a bit
22
of a stone wall for it. So we're asking for
23
your intervention with it. So that we can
24 provide an update because there is that motion
25pending out there that he is ready to rule on,
Eagle Feather Reporting [email protected] 724-746-3383
09/17/2013
154
1 you know, given whatever comes back from those
2 companies.
3 MR. GIBBS: All right. I can try to
4 sort of compile everything into, you know, a
5 single spread sheet or something like that and
6 let you know the status of --
7 MS. SMITH: That would be great. And
8 if you could incorporate that into the letter
9 that would be very helpful. So that we can
10 kind of make a decision as to what we need to
11 move on. What we can wait on. And that sort
12 of thing.
13 MR. GIBBS: Okay.
14 MS. SMITH: And then so going back to
15 our Request for Admission I think we covered
16 it. So our point with asking about the
17 chemicals is these are the products on site,
18 admit that within these product these are the
19 chemicals. And that's how those two are tied
20 together.
21 So when there's clarification from you guys
22 as to specifically what was used at the site in
23 terms of the product, then I think that the
24 Request for Admissions you guys need to go back
- 25 and be specific and answer, yes, this chemical

because of the proprietary nature or the MSDS where It
doesn ' t have the other 70 percent."
This all links back to why we need to know what
that proprietary information is; because seemingly, it
is stopping Range from even being able to answer
requests for admissions that would, on their face, seen
simple to answer if you would know that information
So, all of those go to specific chemicals and I
won't go through each one. But I've listed for you what
those requests for admissions are. But they do go to
specific chemicals within products, again, linking it
back to you need to know what those are. That is the
gamut of everything for Range the two Range motions
to compel.
JUDGE RENWPND: What is the law, you know, in
this area in terms of if somebody alleges, you know,
that their property is polluted by, you know, the
permittee and permittee says, 'Well, we don't know
what's in our the chemicals that we used." Did you
find any law on that?
MS. SMITH: In terms of whether
JUDGE RENWAND: I mean, you find chemicals. I
assume you find, you know, chemicals A, B and C. And
you ask them to admit that was in their products and we
don't know. We don't know what is in the product
1
requesting is for them to tell me what chemicals are in
2
there. So, I don't think -
3
JUDGE RENWAND: But you want the chemicals
4
listed, you know, just chemicals, whatever chemicals are
5 there?
6
MS. SMITH: EXdCtly, Your Honor. And so
7
JUDGE RENWAND: And what I'm asking you, I assume
8 this has come up in other contexts where companies find
9 themselves in the same position that Range is in now.
10
And where does the you know, are there
11 inferences or presumptions that are made?
12
MS. SMITH: Right. So, the case law that I'm
13 familiar with, Your Honor, if the company for whatever
14
reason can't give up that proprietariness of their
15 product which the case law --
16
JUDGERENWAND: They are going to tell me, I'm
17 sure from what I've read, that we would love to give you
18 that. I think Attorney Komoroski said that in one of
19 the transcripts, but we don't have the information.
20
You know, these various companies have it and we
21 wrote to them and they told us we are looking at it or,
22 you know, we don't reveal this information. It is
23 company policy not to reveal it.
24
MS. SMITH: Right, right.

because we ask the people who we bought the products
from and they say, "We cant tell you. It is
proprietary."
MS. SMITH: Right. And I think where that comes
in, Your Honor, is kind of in a couple of different
areas of the law. Number one, with regard to the
proprietary information, that is where this kind of
dovetails with the proprietary information while the
manufacturer may be the holder of that trade secret;
certainty, that information can be divulged and
protected in some way. So, it is not as though you
can't s et to it and have it. And certainly if -
JUDGE REqWAND: You are not asking for the
formula either, are you? You are just asking for the
components?
MS. SMITH; Yes. For purposes of this case, Your
Honor, that is what I reed to know to say, "This is whit
is in Mr:. Kiskadden's water. You used it up at, the
site, It was in the empiiernent. It was in the drill
cuttings pit. Thse things leaked. They are in Mr.

2 know what it is
3
MS. SMITH: Right. So, I think where the
4 crossroads come down to if the company is not willing to
5 give that proprietary information, then it leaves us in
6 the position of asking the court for an adverse
7
inference, that if you are not going to tell us what is
8 there, then what we can identify as being there came
9 from you.
10
I mean t that is our alternative. i don't
11
necessarily think that is fait, to Range to do that, hut
12
if Range isn't willing to talk to the manufacturers to
13 get that information more so - I mean, Mr. Komoroski
14 characterized it as their good faith effort and they
15
have no obligation to do that. Well, if that is tru.y
16 how Range feels that they have no obligation to do i,
17
then in turn, Your Honor, t would ask for an adverse
18
inference

2 MS. SMITH: for Range.
3 JUDGE RENWAND: For Range, okay.
4 MS. SMITH: Thank you, Your Honor.
5 MR. GI8BS: Good morning, Your Honor.
6 JUDGE RENWAND: Good morning.
7 MR. GIBBS: Steve Gibbs of Fuibright and Jaworski
8 on behalf of Range.
9 As an initial matter, I think that we set forth
10 the law in our response to appellant's motion to compel
11 and it is fairly clear that according to Rule 4009.21,
12 the proper procedure for compelling production of
13 documents in the possession or the control of a third
14 party is through a subpoena to the third party; and as a
15 result, Range has made a good faith effort to obtain the
16 information from the third parties.
17 Counsel for appellant indicated that if Range
18 didn't wasn't willing to communicate with the third
19 parties, then an adverse inference was appropriate, I'm
20 not even sure that is true; but obviously, Range sent
21 letters to every single one of the third parties,
22 communicated with and followed up; and beyond that,
23 Range really does not have control over the
24 JUDGE RENWAND: But Range used all these
25 products.
I , all the chemicals that are hazardous are listed,
2 right?
3 MR. GIBBS: Correct, that is my understanding.
4 JUDGE RENWAND: So, what they are saying is what
5 is proprietary is water, things like that?
6 MR. GIBBS: There may be another point that
7 should be made here. On the MSDS themselves, some of
B the hazardous -- some of the compounds that may have a
9 hazardous component are also the same as proprietary
10 that doesn't occur in some instances.
11 JUDGE RENWAND: I guess as she is saying, she is
12 not asking for the formula. She is just asking for the
13 listing.
14 HR. GIBBS: Of every element or compound that --
15 JUDGE RENWAND: Right. These are chemicals that
16 are put into the ground, Into the environment.
17 MR. GIBBS: In some instances.
18 JUDGE RENWAND: Well, what instances aren't
19 there?
20 MR. GIBBS: Range sent letters to every third
21 party that both hadn't provided an WEDS where the
22 chemicals added up to 100 percent of the formula by
23 volume or weight and for which the chemicals or the --
24 I'm sorry, the products were actually on site at some
25 point,
24
1 MR. GIBBS: That is correct
2 JUDGE RENWAND: And you haven't told the
3 Department what is in those products; is that my
4 understanding?
5 MR. GIBBS: The MSDS sheets list -- my
6 understanding is that they list all the hazardous
7 chemicals. Now, beyond that, there may be non-hazardous
8 chemicals and certain companies list those as well,
9 certain companies don't.
10 JUDGE RENWAND: So, your position is that they
11 list all the hazardous chemicals? And she has the list
12 of the hazardous chemicals, that would be by this MSDS
13 definition of hazardous chemicals?
14 MR. GIBBS: That is correct, Regardless of that,
15 Range realty there is nothing more that Range can do
16 to--
17 JUDGE RENWAND: Really? Really? Range can't do
18 anything more, huh?
19 MR. GIBBS: Well, I mean, Range has sent
20 OOrte5pcndence to every one of those.
22 ;;R.ciIoEl : EcU 11.5 .sieoec cc. iouecotse
23 sac, "Thiele proprietary."
24 JUt/If RENWAND: And it's proprietary, because it
25 3a not the formula. Whet coo 'cc said is on lihe3e sheets
26
1 So, in other words, if Range already had 100
2 percent of the formula, no Correspondence was sent. And
3 for MSDS and, for example, the PlC plan for which the
4 products were never at the site, Range didn't send
5 correspondence for that. It was simply products that
6 were at the site for which part of the formula was
7 missing.
8 JUDGE RENWAND: Well, what you are saying is you
9 didn't send letters to somebody whose product you didn't
10 use at that site?
11 MR. GIBBS: Correct. And so, to your point, that
12 includes things such as paint and duct tape, things that
13 did not go into the ground.
14 JUDGE REN1,1AN;3: Right. I didn't think -- okay.
15 I didn't think that would be that encompassing.
16 MR. GIBBS: Well, my understanding was that you
17 were saying that everything -- these chemicals were our
18 into the ground, and that is not true at all in this
19 tnstance.
20 JUDC' Pc' : .952.0....
act a itmt of all the chemiC5s that mete
22 put sub coo r,osi.O
23 MR. G', BPS: No, we sent a itst of all the
24 products with their associated ESUS.
25 JUDGE P.EtISAND: You sent a iLtd, of sit the
09/17/2013
products; and I mean, we are sort of going around here
circularly. You are saying that the MSDS the MSDS
sheet has a list of all the products that could cause
anybody any harm?
MR. GIBBS: My understanding of what an MSDS
sheet contains is that it contains all of the hazardous
chemicals. Whether or not there is the potential for
harm from something else, I'm not prepared to make that
representation. I would imagine I could get harmed by
eating too many Twinkles.
JUDGE RENWAND: But you say those other, whatever
they are, ingredients, you are not going to -- you can't
get that information. The companies have revealed the
Benzene, the Toluene, the whatever, the stuff that could
hurt you but this other stuff is proprietary. That is
the argument?
MR. GIBBS: Not in all instances. I'm simply
saying that in some instances, that is the way it breaks
down. And, in fact, there are a number of companies
that sent either their entire formula or some sort of
additional information about chemicals or chemicals that
were not listed on the MSDS.
JUDGE RENWAND: Okay.
MR. GIBBS: In
JUDGE RENWAND: So, your response to the listing
1
JUDGE RENWAND: Yeah, I think if she tells you
2 that it is chemical A and you contact one of these
3 companies and they say, "We are all full of chemical A,"
4 do you think you get it from them?
5
MR. GIBBS: I mean, based on
6
JUDGE RENWPND: But you are saying the risk
7 should fall on Mr. Kiskadden?
8
MR, GIBBS: You mean, in terms of obtaining the
9 information or
10
JUDGE RENWAND: You say Range is an innocent
11 party here, that Range put products into the ground but
12 you can't tell her -- correct me if I am wrong. I mean,
13 her argument is you can't tell her what is in those
14 arguments and what you are saying is, "We've done our
15 best. We've contacted all of these people who aren't
16 parties to this action, and we've asked them for their
17 ingredients and they've told us no."
18
MR. GIBBS: That is correct but except for the
19 fact that they have the MSDS which, at least in theory,
20 represent all of the hazardous components in those
21 products.
22
JUDGE RENWAND: Yeah. I guess the question is if
23 all the hazardous components are in those products and
24 the non-hazardous components are like water and
25 whatever, I mean, why is that fight being made? I don't

of all the chemicals is what?
MR. GIBBS: With respect to?
JUDGE REMWAND: To her motion to compel.
MR. GIBBS: As an initial matter, it simply isn't
within Range's control to provide this information.
There is no relief available, because Range can't be
compelled to provide information that it does not have.
Now, I mean, Range is willing to cooperate in any
way possible. No path forward has been suggested.
It might he helpful if appellant were able to put
together a list of things that he believes may be in his
water and Range could go back to the companies and say,
"Do you does your product contain any of these?"
We sent interrogatories asking for what appellant
alleges contaminated his water, and we were told that
required an expert opinion. And during our meet and
confer we were, in fact, told that, yea, appellant's
counsel would be able to answer a question like that but
because appellant himself could;;' t, we don't gel that
answer.
30
1 understand.
2
MR. GIBBS: I assume for the same reason that,
3 you know, Coca-Cola wouldn't give you their product
4 information because you could then replicate their
5 product. That is --
6
JUDGE REMWAND: Well, I think if you look at a
7
Coca-Cola can, it will tell you what the ingredients
8
are. I'm looking at a Gatorade can right now, and it's
9 telling me everything that is in here. Now, these are
10 different, literally comparing apples and oranges here.
11
But, as I understand it, that is all she is
12 asking for. And I guess to analogize it, one of the
13
things in here is citric acid, sucrose, salt. Water is
14 one of them. I guess the way you are telling me would
15
be like if Gatorade said, "Okay. We will tell you abujt
16 the sucrose, citric acid, at cetera, but we are not
17 saying anything about that water." Is that what you are
18
telling me?
19

Well Completion Reports
Range Resources announced on July 14. 2010 that the Company would voluntarily disclose the composition of each of the hydraulic fracturing components for all the wells operated by Range Resources with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) completed in the Marcellus Shale.
[ Click here for original press release and attachments]
Range's disclosure initiative will provide regulators, landowners and citizens of the Commonwealth an accounting of the highly diluted additives used at each well site, along with their classifications, volumes, dilution factors, and specific and conunoti purposes. fIat information will be submitted to the DEP as part of Ranges well completion reports and on the Company's
websile,
This voluntary initiative will increase transparency and allow people to better understand that the Marcellus Shale is a valuable resource that can be pursued responsibly and for the benefit of all of tlse citizens of Pennsylvania At shown below, all of the additives Range uses are highly diluted. carefully managed and in many cases commonly used in our everyday lives. We are hopeful that our voluntary disclosure will help dispel Site snisconceptions that have persisted and allow Range and others to deliver on the potential of this extraordinary resource base.
Range believes that the hydraulic fracturing process is environmentally safe. The location of the Marcellus is generally over a mile below the water table for our drinking water and is isolated by more than three million pounds of steel and concrete as shown in the diagtmns below.

Range Resource spearheading voluntary initiative Range Resources Corp. announced today that it has submitted its first hydraulic fracturing
disclosure forms to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and has
posted the information on the Range swsbsite. The information covers the first three Marcellus
Shale wells in Pennsylvania that Range has hydraulically fractured since implementation of the
voluntary initiative. As additional Marcellus wells are drilled, Range will provide similar information
within approximately 30 days of completion.
On July 14, 2010. Range announced its voluntary initiative to disclose Marcellus Shale hydraulic
fracturing additives. The purpose of the initiative is to provide regulators landowners and citizens
of Pennsylvania an accounting of the highly diluted additives used at each well site. In reaction to
the initiative, Range has received supportive response from policy makers regulators,
Pennsylvania citizens and environmental and conservation groups. Commenting on the effort, US
Congressman Mike Doyle (DPA) said, With many questions about the environmental impact of
hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus Shale still unanswered, I commend Range Resources for its
decision to voluntarily disclose information about the contents of the fluids they are using in that
process on a per well basis, and I strongly encourage other companies drilling in the Marcellus
Shale to disclose the components of their fluids in that kind of detail as well.'
The decision to disclose the exact chemical composition of the chemical additives used in
hydraulic fracturing (fracking), has come about because people are distrustful of the potential
damage tracking could cause. Concerns over groundwater contamination have already led some
shale projects in New York state to be cancelled on the grounds they might pollute the state's
groundwater. Hopefully this initiative should assuage fears over shale projects and allow shale gas
full potential to be realised. Shale gas has already been described as a 'gamechanging' energy
resource by Industry chiefs, and with Americas enormous shale assets, which are large enough to
virtually guarantee America's energy security, it is essential that the industry gets the American
public on side.
'We are very pleased with the response we have received to our initiative and our commitment to
achieving the proper balance of pursuing the enormous opportunity that the Marcellus Shale
provides and implementing a standard of care for the environment and the communities where we
live and work. We're hopeful that our voluntary effort will help to dispel misconceptions about the
process and allow Range and others to deliver on the potential of this extraordinary resource
base, said John Pinkerton, Chairman and CEO of Range Resources.

Marcellus driller volunteers to disclose fracking chemicals
A Range Resources rrg in S4arc all us Shale, "Our hope is that it wit alleviate the concerns, an official said of disclosure
By Andrew Maykuth, Inquirer Staff Writer
Pos'rw July 15, 2010
The company that pioneered Marcellus Shale exploration announced
Wednesday that it was voluntarily disclosing the chemicals used to
hydraulically fracture its natural gas wells, in an effort to defuse
criticism about the process.
Range Resources Corp., which has deeloped more Pennsylvania
Marcellus wells than any other company since it drilled the first well in
2003, said it would provide a list of the chemical additives in an effort to
demystify a technique the company says has been safely employed
thousands of times.
"I'm confident, when people see the information, think about it, and
understand it, our hope is that it will alleviate the concerns," said John
Pinkerton, chief executive officer of the Fort Worth, Texas, firm.

Baizel, senior start attorney with Eithworka Oil & Gas Accountability Project,
Though the oil and gas industry has employed hydraulic fracturing for decades to stimulate well production, the process has come
under close scrutiny recently as fossil-fuel exploration has moved into more 'unconventional' geologic formations like shale and
as well size has grown dramatically through the use of horizontal-drilling techniques.

8/3O/3 Marcel lus driller volunteers to disclose fracking chencals - Pbllly.com
In "fracking," millions of gallons of high-pressure water, sand, and chemicals are injected into a well to shatter the shale to release
trapped natural gas. Sand particles remain in the hairline fractures to allow pathways for the gas to escape to the well. Some of
the wastewater is recovered and recycled or treated and disposed of.
In the Marcellus, operators say that the fracturing occurs more than a mile below the surface and that the chemicals cannot
migrate upward through thousands of feet of rock into aquifers.
But the industry's assurances haw come under fire, and the process is being studied by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency.
The industry's reluctance to disclose "proprietary" chemical recipes has raised further suspicions. Some anti-drilling actttrsts say
the industry injects a "toxic brew" of as many as 596 chemicals into the wells.
Most companies say they use fewer than a dozen chemicals, most of them not toxic.
"A lot of the naysayers on the other side are just winging things out therewith no scientific basis, and that's really troubling,"
Pinkerton said,
Range says that the chemicals used in its frack fluid typically amount to 0. 14 percent of the total volume injected into a well and
that the chemicals listed as hazardous amount to 0.04 percent. The additives reduce the fluid's friction and inhibit formation of
scale or bacterial slime that can clog fractures.
By disclosing the chemicals, Pinkerton said, the industry can look for more environmentally friendly solutions.
"If there's something to replace it with that's greener, well do it," he said. 'fm a believer that the more light you shine on it, the
more people wifi look at it and the better solutions well come up with," he said.
For two years, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has posted online a list of chemicals used in hydraulic-
fracturing operations.
Drilling companies are also required to post the chemicals at their well sites to provide emergency responders with recommended
first-aid treatments and handling instructions.
But environmentalists say the existing information is inaccessible or indecipherable. They said new federal laws were needed to
force a uniform disclosure.
If Range Resources is planning to disclose the chemicals it uses in its drilling operations, there is no reason other companies
can't do the same," said Elizabeth Maclin, TU's Vice President for Eastern Conservation. "With thousands of wells being drilled
throughout Pennsylvania, knowing what is in fracking fluids is an important step toward protecting the state's natural resources."

Range Resources Promises they "Really Will" Disclose Fracking Chemicals
photo of Bamatl shale well
pmvided by Tim Ruggie,o.
story updated Thursday
afternoon
Two weeks ago Range
Resources announced that
they would voluntarily
disclose hydraulic fracturing
chemicals used in drilling
Marcellus Shale. At that
time they provided a link to
a "sample Marcellus Shale
Completion Report" and
seemed to imply that
interested people would be
able to find a list of all the fracturing chemicals they use somewhere on their website.
While it's tree that Range Resources has a link to the information on their home page,
some people were hoping for a handy list of all the fracking chemicals used in
Marcellus. At this point in time all that's posted is the initial press release, a description
of casing design and one sample completion report.
But that will change, says public affairs director, Matt Pitzarella. In a phone conersation
this morning, Pitzarella reiterated Range Resources' commitment to increased
transparency.
"Beginning now, completion reports will hate an addendum attached that lists the
fracturing chemicals, as well as their amounts, used in drilling each well," Pitzarella
said. These will be posted to the Company website as well.
Where, exactly? Pitzarella wasn't sure. "We're re-vamping the website and hope to
make it easier for people to find information," he said. Soon, meaning sometime within
the next 4 weeks (but earlier, he hopes), there should be a button on the left column
guiding people to "completion reports" or "hydraulic fracturing". He's still working out the
details.
After reminding me again that it was voluntary, Pitzarella said, "We're hoping that these
reports give people the facts they need to make their own decisions. Some people are
concerned that fracturing chemicals will get into their aquifers. So we want to make sure
they know what we're using and the [sery small] amounts."

Extracting natural gas from shale requires forcing in water and some chemicals to crack the rock open, worrying residents about pollution.
Range Resources Corp. LccJ says it plans to disclose the chemicals used
to hydraulically fracture natural-gas wells in Pennsylvania, confronting rising pressure
from environmental groups worded that drilling could contaminate drinking water.

The decision, which Range said was voluntary, reflects the mounting distrust that

Alps The decision was praised by environmental groups and some members of Congress
who have proposed a law to require similar levels of disclosure. More in Business
The industry has resisted disclosing the chemicals it uses, although that has been
softening recently. Exxon MabI Corp. [ 9] Chairman and Chief Executive
Rex Tillerson told Congress earlier this year he "wouldn't object to any disclosure."
Loosening gas molecules from dense shale rock requires drilling a well, then pumping
in thousands of gallons of fluid under high pressure to crack the rock open. Range
used 4.5 million gallons in a simple fracture of a recent well—the overwhelming
majority being water, according to a sample of the disclosure provided by the
company. It also used smaller amounts of chemicals such as sodium hydroxide,
ethylene glycol, hydrochloric acid and benzalkonium chloride.
Range says the purpose of disclosure was to dispel concerns that chemicals added
to fracture fluids are a risk. The fluid is being pumped a mile beneath the groundwater
and is 99.8% water and sand, the company says. And the chemicals are "comparable
to household chemicals in a very diluted form," says Ray Walker, a Range executive.
Some politicians and environmental groups that support increased use of natural gas
as a cleaner alternative to coal have expressed frustration with the industry's
disclosures. Tim Wirth, a former Democratic senator from Colorado who has been a
prominent advocate for natural gas, says the industry's penchant for secrecy is
making it harder to win over skeptics. 3 "If there's no problem, then disclose,' W. Wirth said. "That's the price of admission in
this day and age."
Amy Mall, senior policy analyst with the Natural Resources Defense Council, says the
industry has used hundreds of different chemicals in fracture fluids in the past. She 4 said the disclosure will help homeowners who have had difficulty figuring out what
chemicals to test for when they grew suspicious that their water well had been
contaminated. "Many of these chemicals aren't part of a standard test; you have to
know what to test for," she says. -
,Ajso, John Hanger, secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection, said he was pleased with Range's new policy. "If one company can do it,
everyone can do it—and should do it. The holding back of information in this area has
fueled public suspicion." He said these Range disclosures and an ongoing study by
the federal Environmental Protection Agency into chemicals used in fracture fluids
should go a long way to create confidence. STREAM
Jan .Jarrett, president of Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future, an environmental Corporate Intelligence: Live Coverage
advocacy group, applauded Range's disclosure program as a "step in the right
direction." She said the state should make it mandatory.

Hydraulic Fractunug Fluid Selection and Management
Fracturing Fluid Selection and Disclosure:
Hydraulic fracturing a time tested and proven technology utilized by the oil and natural gas industry for more than 60 years
and in more than 1 million wells. This is a process that requires the iniection of fluid, under pressure to create a network of
fissures for trapped hydrocarbons to safely flow to the surface through our production facilities and eventually to fuel our
homes, vehicles, electricity and businesses.
Transparency and open dialogue are vital to the continued progress of energy development. This pushed Range to become
the first company to voluntarily disclose the fracturing fluid for each completed well on our website. Range has supported
new regulations on disclosure through PA (Iii, 78 provisions, new legislation of Act 13 and trade group. efforts.
In Pennsylvania, kct 13 "enacted one of the most aggressive and transparent hydraulic fracturing disclosure laws in the country.....Colorado's requirements, upon which much of this Act's disclosure requirements were based, is ere hailed by progressive industry representatives.
environmental organizations and many other groups as a model for other states" - Pr'nnsvlvania Department of Jenvi,onme,mEaI Protection
States like Pennsylvania Colorado. Lunsnami and others require operators to submit a chemical disclose through
Frac Focus, a national chemical disclosure registry for oil & gas exploration founded by the Ground Water Protection
Council and the Interstate Oil & Gas Compact Commission.
Advanced planning is critical to eliminating any impacts from potential impacts. Even though chemical additives are
carefully managed, highly diluted, encompassed by secondary containment and injected through multiple cemented strings of
steel casing, Range selects vendors that utilize the most environmentally , friendly additives whenever technically possible
Roughly 99.9'U of the tiacturing fluid is water and sand, the rest is a blend of common chemicals that are a part at our everyday lives or as the Groundwater
Protection Council indicated essentially 'soap."
Many state, require Spill Prevention Control and Contingency (SPCC') plans for each well site, which describes the best
practices to be used in the event of a spill Active well locations maintain a series of onsite preventative technologies, such
as absorbent materials to soak up a contained spill and vacuum trucks to eliminate any spilled liquid on location
Range supports the ongoing scientific research of our industry (link collaboration tab here). Reputable universities such as
the gv,gs of J,exa', and gJJ have done intense scientific research on natural gas development in prominent shale plays
like the Barnett. the Marcellus and the llavne'svllle. These studies hound 'no e'vklence" of hydraulic fiacturing leading to

Letters
Range suppports disclosure, new technologies
Tuesday, April 23,2013
A recent letter by Brian Rothermund, "Range oblivious to irony," which appeared in the April 16 edition of the Observer-Reporter, repeated a false statement that the contents of fracturing fluid in oil and natural gas development are a secret. LII This is not the case. While all companies are required by regulation to disclose today, Range was actually the first company to voluntarily disclose fracturing fluids on a per well basis in the entire United States back in 2010. Not much was reported at the time locally, but The Wall Street Journal thought it was important enough to run the announcement on their front page.
Anyone interested can visit rangeresources.com for the information, for wells here or anywhere else in the nation. The contents are also listed at fracfocus.org a website run by the United States Groundwater Protection Council (GWPC).
Rothermund supported the notion that the public should be kept in the dark about decisions that our local governments make regarding commerce and private land development. He stated that government should not feel the least bit compelled to share the private dealings of our local representatives. We believe transparency and an open dialogue on issues that matter is of critical importance.
Range is on record on countless occasions being in support of, and in fact lobbying for, not against, smarter and tighter regulations that adapt to new and emerging technologies. Pennsylvania has consistently been ranked with high scores by independent teams from the GWPC and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, which is made up of state and federal, regulators, academics, environmentalists and other nongovernmental organizations, and industry scientists.
Like many people in the natural gas industry, my family came to this country three generations ago and landed right here in Washington County. We all want to make sure our natural resources are responsibly developed and in a manner that maximizes those benefits for us all.

Business Strategy
Our objective is to build stockholder value through consistent growth in reserves and production on a cost-efficient basis. Our strategy to achieve our objective is to increase reserves and production through internally generated drilling projects coupled with occasional complementary acquisitions. Our strategy requires us to make significant investments in technical staff, acreage, seismic data and technology to build drilling inventory. Our strategy has the following principal elements:
Concentrate in Core Operating Areas. We currently operate in two regions: the Appalachian (which includes shale tight gas, coal bed methane and conventional natural gas, natural gas liquids, condensate and oil production in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia) and Southwestern (which includes the Permian Basin of West Texas and the Delaware Basin of New Mexico, the Texas Panhandle, the Ardmore Basin in Southern Oklahoma, the Nemaha Uplift in Northern Oklahoma and the Anadarko Basin of Western Oklahoma). Concentrating our drilling and producing activities in these core areas allows us to develop the regional expertise needed to interpret specific geological and operating trends and develop economies of scale. Operating in multiple core areas allows us to blend the production characteristics of each area to balance our portfolio toward our goal of consistent production and reserve growth at attractive returns. Maintain Multi-Year Drilling Inventory. We focus on areas with multiple prospective, productive horizons and development opportunities. We use our technical expertise to build and maintain a multi-year drilling inventory. A large, multi-year inventory of drilling projects increases our ability to consistently grow production and reserves. Currently, we have over 8,600 proven and unproven drilling locations in inventory.
• Focus on cost efficiency. We concentrate in core areas which we believe to have sizeable hydrocarbon deposits in place that will allow us to consistently increase production while controlling costs. As there is little long-term competitive sales price advantage available to a commodity producer, the costs to find, develop, and produce a commodity are important to organizational sustainability and long-term shareholder value creation. We endeavor to control costs such that our cost to find, develop and produce natural gas and oil is in the best performing quartile of our peer group.
• Commitment to environmental, health and safety. We implement the latest technologies and best practices to minimize potential impacts from the development of our nation's natural resources as it relates to the environment, worker health and safety, and the health and safety of the communities where we operate. Working with peer companies, regulators, nongovernmental organizations, industries not related to the natural gas industry, and other engaged stakeholders, we consistently analyze and review performance while striving for continual improvement. In July 2010, we voluntarily elected to provide, on our website, the hydraulic fracturing components for all wells operated by us and completed to the Marcellus Shale formation.
• Maintain Long-Life Reserve Base. Long-life natural gas and oil reserves provide a more stable growth platform than short-life reserves. Long-life reserves reduce reinvestment risk as they lessen the amount of reinvestment capital deployed each year to replace production. Long-life natural gas and oil reserves also assist us in minimizing costs as stable production makes it easier to build and maintain operating economies of scale. We use our acquisition, divestiture, and drilling activities to assist in executing this strategy.
• Maintain Flexibility. Because of the risks involved in drilling, coupled with changing commodity prices, we remain flexible and adjust our capital budget throughout the year. If certain areas generate higher than anticipated returns, we may accelerate drilling and acquisitions in those areas and decrease capital expenditures and acquisitions elsewhere. We also believe in maintaining a strong balance sheet and using commodity derivatives, which allows us to be more opportunistic in lower price environments and provides more consistent financial results.
• Equity Ownership and Incentive Compensation. We want our employees to think and act like stockholders. To achieve this, we reward and encourage them through equity ownership in Range. All full-time employees receive equity grants. As of December 31, 2011, our employees owned equity securities in our benefit plans (vested and unvested) that had an aggregate market value of approximately $314.0 million.

Table of Contents
We acquire significant amounts of unproved property to further our development efforts. Development and exploratory drilling and production activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs will be discovered. We acquire both producing and unproved properties as well as lease undeveloped acreage that we believe will enhance growth potential and increase our earnings over time. However, we cannot assure you that all prospects will be economically viable or that we will not abandon our initial investments. Additionally, there can be no assurance that unproved property acquired by us or undeveloped acreage leased by us will be profitably developed, that new wells drilled by us in prospects that we pursue will be productive or that we will recover all or any portion of our investment in such unproved property or wells.
Our indebtedness could limit our ability to successfully operate our business
We are leveraged and our exploration and development program will require substantial capital resources depending on the level of drilling and the expected cost of services. Our existing operations will also require ongoing capital expenditures. In addition, if we decide to pursue additional acquisitions, our capital expenditures will increase, both to complete such acquisitions and to explore and develop any newly acquired properties.
The degree to which we are leveraged could have other important consequences, including the following:
we may be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to the payment of our indebtedness, reducing the funds available for our operations;
• a portion of our borrowings are at variable rates of interest, making us vulnerable to increases in interest rates;
• we may be more highly leveraged than some of our competitors, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage;
• our degree of leverage may make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business or the general economy;
• we are subject to numerous financial and other restrictive covenants contained in our existing credit agreements the breach of which could materially and adversely impact our financial performance;
• our debt level could limit our flexibility to grow the business and in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and
• we may have difficulties borrowing money in the future.
Despite our current levels of indebtedness, we still may be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further increase the risks described above. In addition to those risks above, we may not be able to obtain funding on acceptable terms.
Our business is subject to operating hazards that could result in substantial losses or liabilities that may not be fully covered under our insurance policies
Natural gas, NGL and oil operations are subject to many risks, including well blowouts, cratenngs, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, fires, formations with abnormal pressures, pipeline ruptures or spills, pollution, releases of toxic gases and other environmental hazards and risks. If any of these hazards occur, we could Sustain substantial losses as a result of:
• injury or loss of life;
• severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment;
• pollution or other environmental damage;
• clean-up responsibilities;
• regulatory investigations and penalties; or
• suspension of operations.
We maintain insurance against some, but not all, of these potential risks and losses. We may elect not to obtain insurance if we believe that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. We have experienced substantial increases in premiums, especially in areas affected by hurricanes and tropical storms. Insurers have imposed revised limits affecting how much the insurers will pay on actual storm claimns plus the cost to re-drill wells where substantial damage has been incurred. Insurers are also requiring us to retain larger deductibles and reducing the scope of what insurable losses will include. Even with the increase in future insurance premiums, coverage will be reduced, requiring us to bear a greater potential risk if our natural gas and oil properties are damaged. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. If a significant accident or other event occurs that is not fully covered by insurance, it could haves material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

AMENDED RESPONSES TO SECOND SET OF REQUESTS FOR ADMISSION
4. Admit that ethylbenzene was used by Range Resources as a component of a
product in the drilling process at the Yeager Site.
RESPONSE:
Admitted. Per their MSDS sheets, ethylbenzene is a .10% or .20% constituent part of
Industrial Enamel HS, Pure White and Industrial Enamel, Safety Red. After a good faith
investigation, Range has made a reasonable inquiry, and the information known or readily
obtainable to Range is insufficient to enable it to admit or deny that either type of paint was ever
used at the Yeager Site. Ethylbenzene is a component part of Xylene (Xylol), which was used in
the air rig involved in the drilling process. Range does not currently believe that ethylbenzene is
a constituent part of any other product used in the drilling process at the Yeager Site, and Range
does not believe that it was ever used as part of a downhole product.
11. Admit that toluene was used by Range Resources as a component of a product in
the drilling process at the Yeager Site.
RESPONSE:
Admitted. Per its MSDS sheet, Diesel Fuel No. 2 contains toluene in some concentration.
Diesel Fuel No. 2 was used to power some equipment during the air rig drilling process. Range
does not believe that it was ever used as a part of a downhole product.
18. Admit that xylene was used by Range Resources as a component of a product in
the drilling process at the Yeager Site.
RESPONSE:
19
09/17/2013
Admitted. Per its MSDS sheet, xylene is a constituent part of MC DF-7 120 defoamer,
and this defoamer was occasionally used at the Yeager Site, though Range does not believe that
it was used as a dovrnhole product. Based on the manufacturer response, xylene also makes up a
small part of Seymour of Sycamore's "Stripe Flourescent Red I Orange" product. After a good
faith investigation, Range has made a reasonable inquiry, and the information known or readily
obtainable to Range is insufficient to enable it to admit or deny that this product was ever used at
the Yeager Site. Xylene (Xylol) was also used in the air rig involved in the drilling process.
28. Admit that t-butyl alcohol was used by Range Resources as a component of a
product in the drilling process at the Yeager Site.
RESPONSE:
Denied. Range does not currently believe that t-butyl alcohol is a constituent part of any
product used in the drilling process at the Yeager Site.
34. Admit that ethylene glycol was used by Range Resources as a component of a
product in the drilling process at the Yeager Site.
RESPONSE:
Admitted. Per its MSDS sheet, ethylene glycol is a constituent part of MC S-25 I OT scale
inhibitor. This product was used during the fracturing of the Yeager 7H well.
52. Admit that acetone was used by Range Resources as a component of a product in
_the drilling process at the Yeager Site.
20
09/17/2013
RESPONSE:
Denied. Per its MSDS sheet, acetone is a constituent part of Aervoe Rust Proof Paint -
Aerosol. After a good faith investigation, Range has made a reasonable inquiry, and the
information known or readily obtainable to Range is insufficient to enable it to admit or deny
that this type of paint was ever used at the Yeager Site, and therefore denies this request. Range
does not currently believe that acetone is a constituent part of any other product used in the
drilling process at the Yeager Site.
