Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
BEGINNING IN 2013, WE ADMINISTERED A THIRD-PARTY CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR SHALE OPERATORS WHO EXHIBITED LEADERSHIP IN ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY WHEN SHALE GAS RESOURCES ARE DEVELOPED. SHALE OPERATORS WITH OPERATIONS IN THE APPALACHIAN BASIN COULD APPLY FOR THIRD-PARTY CERTIFICATION FOR MEETING OR EXCEEDING OUR ORGANIZATION'S LEADING ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. IN 2018, SEEING THAT A NUMBER OF OUR STANDARDS HAD BEEN MATCHED BY STATE REGULATORS AND SEEING THAT COMPANIES HAD INTERNALIZED OUR STANDARDS AS PRACTICES, CRSD BEGAN TO LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES TO APPLY OUR KNOWLEDGE AND COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL EXCELLENCE IN OTHER ASPECTS OF THE INDUSTRY. TO THAT END, WE UNDERTOOK A STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS TO BUILD ON OUR SUCCESSES AND LOOK FOR GREATER INFLUENCE. THE OUTCOMES OF THAT PROCESS WERE ADDRESSED IN 2019 AND WILL BE APPLIED IN 2020 WITH A GREATER FOCUS ON IMPACTS ALL ACROSS THE SHALE GAS VALUE CHAIN IN APPALACHIA.$0$49,698

IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(F)(3)(I), THE CENTER RECEIVES AT LEAST TEN PERCENT OF ITS SUPPORT FROM CONTRIBUTIONS BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE CENTER'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE FOR 2019 (PART II, SECTION C, QUESTION 14) IS 29.90 PERCENT, WELL ABOVE THE MINIMUM OF TEN PERCENT. GIVEN THIS SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE, THE CENTER'S BURDEN OF ESTABLISHING ITS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED NATURE IS REDUCED PURSUANT TO TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III)(A). THE CENTER IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED SO AS TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT. THE CENTER'S MISSION IS TO BRING TOGETHER ENVIRONMENTAL AND GAS INDUSTRY LEADERS COMMITTED TO DRIVING CONTINUOUS INNOVATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF SHALE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES WITHIN THE APPALACHIAN BASIN. THIS COLLABORATION AMONG ENVIRONMENTAL PROFESSIONALS AND INDUSTRY EXECUTIVES IS INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE EXTRACTION OF SHALE EVOLVES IN A MANNER THAT IS PROTECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITY. HAVING ENVIRONMENTALISTS AND GAS INDUSTRY EXECUTIVES WORKING TOGETHER COLLABORATIVELY AROUND SHALE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS MODELS UNEXPECTED COOPERATION AND THEREFORE, IN AND OF ITSELF, RESULTS IN INCREASED INTEREST BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IN ADDITION, THE CENTER IS IN THE PROCESS OF REEXAMINING ITS ACTIVITIES WITH THE INTENT OF BROADENING THE OVERALL PUBLIC SUPPORT OF ITS MISSION, INCLUDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THUS, THE CENTER SATISFIES THE REQUIREMENT UNDER TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(F)(3)(II) WITH RESPECT TO THE ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. THE CENTER HAS SUCCESSFULLY ATTRACTED SUPPORT FROM A VARIETY OF FUNDERS. THE CONTRIBUTORS TO THE CENTER INCLUDE PUBLIC CHARITIES, SUCH AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND, THE PENNSYLVANIA ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL, AND THE CLEAN AIR TASK FORCE. ENERGY COMPANIES, SUCH AS CONSOL, EQT CORPORATION, AND SHELL, ARE ALSO CONTRIBUTORS TO THE CENTER, AS WELL AS PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, SUCH AS THE RICHARD KING MELLON FOUNDATION, THE ALLEGHENY FOUNDATION, AND THE HILLMAN FAMILY FOUNDATIONS. IN ADDITION, THE CENTER HAS MET WITH OTHER POTENTIAL FUNDERS, SUCH AS THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND NUMEROUS PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, THAT HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGING TO THE CENTER AND SUPPORTIVE OF ITS MISSION. THE NUMBER AND BREADTH OF THE SUPPORTERS OF THE CENTER IS A POSITIVE FACTOR UNDER TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III)(B), IN THAT THE CENTER RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM A REPRESENTATIVE NUMBER OF CONTRIBUTORS RATHER THAN RECEIVING SUPPORT FROM A SINGLE FAMILY. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CENTER IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC. THERE ARE 8 MEMBERS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND THE DIRECTORS INCLUDE INDIVIDUALS FROM THE GAS INDUSTRY, ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENT, AND EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, JARED COHON, THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY, IS THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD. NO DIRECTORS ARE RELATED TO EACH OTHER, AND ALL SERVE ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BECAUSE OF THEIR EXPERTISE WITH RESPECT TO THE ISSUES AROUND SHALE GAS AND STANDARDS WITH RESPECT TO DEVELOPINIG SHALE GAS IN A MANNER THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AND RESPECTFUL OF THE ENVIRONMENT. PURSUANT TO TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III)(C), THE MAKE-UP OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS INDICATES THAT THE CENTER IS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED. THE ACTIVITIES OF THE CENTER BENEFIT THE GENERAL PUBLIC. WORKING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY LEADERS, THE CENTER HAS CREATED 15 FORWARD THINKING, HIGH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS WITH RESPECT TO THE SHALE INDUSTRY FOCUSED ON AIR, CLIMATE, WATER, AND WASTE - STANDARDS THAT OFTEN EXCEED STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS. WHEN COMPANIES MEET THESE STANDARDS, COMMUNITIES ARE HEALTHIER, THE ENVIRONMENT IS CLEANER, AND FAMILIES AR SAFER. THUS, THE PUBLIC BENEFITS. THESE STANDARDS ARE PUBLICLY DISSEMINATED ON THE CENTER'S WEBSITE AND ELSEWHERE AND ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL. THE CENTER'S ACTIVITIES THEREFORE INDICATE THAT IT IS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF TREAS. REG. 1.170A-9(F)(3)(III)(D). IN SUM, THE CENTER IS PUBLICILY SUPPORTED WITHING THE MEANING OF SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) OF THE
