Notes:

DEP issues an extremely large number of permits for J & J Landfill. It is impossible based on currently available information to know which ones are related to Marcellus Shale waste, so up to now I haven't listed any of them. MarcellusGas.org (a subscription site) does show this landfill as receiving waste from Marcellus Shale wells in Fayette County. The site record for this site (Site ID 240681) shows the following "programs": Air Quality, Clean Water, Environmental Cleanup & Brownfields, Mining, Radiation Protection, Waste Management, Water Planning and Conservation. The permit shown above for J & J is only a single example of presumably many, but there are certainly many others that are not Marcellus related.

The Independent Regulatory Review Commission reviews all regulations before they go into effect, and gives the public the opportunity to comment and the PA General Assembly the chance to intervene. Once approved by the IRRC, a regulation becomes part of PA Code. The regulation listed above was listed in this bulletin on 2/3/2013, see <http://www.faymarwatch.org/happening/permits/020313.shtml> For the PA Bulletin Notice on this regulation, see <http://www.pabulletin.com/secure/data/vol43/43-4/132.html>

------------------------

eNOTICE records are likely to list the same permit multiple times, as that permit moves through the DEP process.

Oil & Gas Wells designated with a site a number and the letter H typically designate horizontal wells.

The eMapPa web site does not work in web browsers other than Internet Explorer. For instructions on how to view eMapPa data in Firefox send me E-mail.

Marcellus Shale waste disposal injection wells in Pennsylvania are regulated directly by EPA, not DEP. Notice of any new permit applications will appear at the above web address.  I'm not aware of any subscription service to be notified of such applications. I'm not aware of any Marcellus Shale waste disposal injection wells in Fayette County (yet ...) but we need to monitor this page for future applications.

Disclaimers:

This compilation from the above sources was done by hand using copy and paste and may omit relevant permits.

Does not currently include water supply permits.

Erosion & Sedimentation permit records do not currently include latitude and longitude. Where I am publishing latitude and longitude with E&S permits it is by inferring an associated well permit and using published latitude and longitude for the well. It is possible I may be inferring the wrong well site.

Municipalities are shown from eFACTS records on the DEP web site. The DEP has been known to list a municipality incorrectly.
