The major news in this bulletin is the Chevron Ruppert Well Pad in Luzerne Twp, below. This is the first new well site for Chevron in months. Does this mean a new uptick in drilling in Fayette County is beginning? We don't yet know. (There has not been a single well SPUD in Fayette County since 9/2/2015.)

Applications received under sections 5 and 402 of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.5 and 691.402)

 Southwest Region: Oil and Gas Management Program Manager, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh PA, 15222.

 E26-07-005: Burnett Oil Company, Inc., 801 Cherry Street, Unity 9, Fort Worth, TX 76102, Springhill Township, Fayette County, ACOE Pittsburgh District.

 Burnett Oil Company, Inc. is proposing to install 0.99 mile of permanent gravel access road and the 119,500 square foot Coastal-Central Well Pad (N 39° 44` 21.48", W 79° 47` 10.68") in Springhill Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The well pad is located approximately 0.59 mile Southwest of State Route 3004 (Wymps Gap Road) and approximately 0.59 mile East of State Route 857 (Springhill Furnace Road). The proposed access road will be 16 feet wide with additional spaces required for road construction and stormwater management.

 The entire project area is approximately 23.3 acres and consists primarily of meadow and woodlands. Four individuals of the tree species Oxydendrum arboreum (Sourwood) was found in the project area and, per a letter from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), will be relocated to an area outside of the limit of disturbance. All disturbed areas except for the described access road and well pad will be stabilized and seeded upon construction completion. The project is a Joint Permit Application due to the crossing of a stream where the drainage area is greater than 1 square mile (based on USGS Stream Stats). The project will result in one (1) wetland crossing and five (5) watercourse crossings, resulting in a total of 871 ft2 of permanent wetland impacts and 348 linear feet of permanent stream impacts.

 Each of the following crossings will be crossed by the permanent access road mentioned above:

According to the 3/30/17 issue of the Uniontown Herald Standard, John Ashley Joseph of Connellsville faces 21 counts of illegal dumping at 5 different locations. This is apparently an investigation by the Office of Attorney General, and an outgrowth of a DEP investigation which resulted in a citation by DEP. Mr. Joseph appealed that citation, and several others, in cases before the Environmental Hearing Board, which have been consolidated under EHB case number 2015046; for the docket sheet in that case, see:

<http://ehb.courtapps.com/public/document_shower_pub.php?docketNumber=2015046>

This case has been covered several times in this bulletin, see:

<http://www.faymarwatch.org/happening/permits/100415.shtml#Joseph>

Proceedings in the EHB case were stayed on 2/5/2016 pending the outcome of the Attorney General's investigation -- see case documents 18 and 19:

Notes:

The Ruppert Well Pad is apparently the first new well pad permit from Chevron in Fayette County in many months. Latitude and longitude information above are taken from the Act 14 notification. Act 14 is a state law requiring notification of counties and municipalities of intent to apply to DEP for several kinds of permits; these include Erosion & Sedimentation (E&S) Permits for well pads, E&S permits for pipelines, and Air Quality permits (including General Permits). Counties and Municipalities are supposed to get a 30 day comment period on all permits subject to Act 14 notifications, even if there is no "general" public comment on such permits. The Act 14 Notification link above is to faymarwatch.org; the copy of the notification was provided thanks to the Fayette County Office of Planning, Zoning, and Community Development. Act 14 notifications for well pad E&S permits are required to include an NOI (Notice of Intent) form from DEP with required boxes for latitude and longitude; this geolocation is the earliest precise location available anywhere for new unconventional wells. Act 14 NOIs are typically not available on-line.

The Ruppert Well Pad notification appears to show this is planned for 10 wells. The favored direction for drilling Marcellus horizontal wells in our area is approximately northwest to southeast. Precise GIS coordinates for the horizontal may be typically found by locating latitude and longitude for the "landing point" and the "bottom hole" on the plat. For "newer" wells the plat is available at DEP Oil & Gas Mapping, and where available is shown in this bulletin by the link to "Full Permit" under the original Drill & Operate Well permit.

The presumed parcel for the Ruppert Well Pad also appears to include a conventional well known as J ROBISON 1, permit # 051-24168. (This well is apparently still in production.)

The Avanti 1 well site was the site of several violations dating to 2008 and 2009. For details see:
<http://www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eFACTSWeb/searchResults_singleViol.aspx?InspectionID=1712825>
<http://www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eFACTSWeb/searchResults_singleViol.aspx?InspectionID=1847524>
Fines assessed were 8400 and 7425.

Locations for POLK UNIT 1H and FIKE UNIT 1H are exact; it's speculation that these correctly locate the ends of the pipeline applied for as LPR MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LLC POLK PIPELINE ESCGP ESG17-051-0001 above.

The "point" location mapped regarding authorization 1174700 above in the Constantine to Lynn pipeline project shows the location of a single conduit; the site municipalities apparently reflect the extent of the whole pipeline. (DEP does not typically publish GIS data for pipeline Erosion & Sedimentation permits.)

---
When the inspection report field "INSPECTION_RESULT_DESCRIPTION" shows as "In Compliance with Policy", this is apparently a violation which has been remediated by the time the inspector arrives. Note these inspections are NOT retrieved if you search inspection reports for violations only.

The parcel marked "Lease Parcel Id" for MAUDE MOUNTAIN 1 above actually shows pictures of the well. However it is not mapped on the Fayette County Tax Assessment Office Property Search web site, so (as usual) the parcel marked "Presumed Parcel Id" -- which is mapped -- is the enclosing parcel.

The latitude/longitude for the Dunbar Compressor Station appears in DEP records as: 39.985868,-79.664650. This is apparently incorrect. The parcel record shown above, 0920019903, is clearly the location of a compressor station, and the billing address for property taxes on this parcel is evidently a Williams address.

The Act 14 notification (as well as the DEP site record) lists the address of this facility as 538 Monarch Road, which we believe to be incorrect. It appears from the Act 14 notification that there are two reasons for the application for GP5-26-00584E: GP5-26-00584D (the existing permit) is due to expire on May 16, 2017, and one gas-fired compression engine is being removed, leaving one 1340 hp gas-fired engine, one 3000 hp electric engine, and one dehydrator, among other equipment. (See the Act 14 notification for Laurel Mountain Midstream's equipment list.)

The Act 14 notification was provided thanks to the Fayette County Office of Planning, Zoning, and Community Development.

DEP defines an environmental justice area as "any census tract where 20 percent or more individuals live in poverty, and/or 30 percent or more of the population is minority". (See:
<http://www.dep.pa.gov/PublicParticipation/OfficeofEnvironmentalJustice/Pages/default.aspx>). There are supposed to be enhanced public participation requirements for permits in environmental justice areas, but news of this actually ever happening is scarce. In Fayette County, the entirety of Springhill, Nicholson, German, and Georges Townships are environmental justice areas, as well as a large part of Dunbar Township. DEP's policy document on public participation guidelines for environmental justice areas is located here:
<http://www.elibrary.dep.state.pa.us/dsweb/Get/Version-48671/012-0501-002.pdf>

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.

Disclaimers:

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

Parcel data is provided via the tax records search web page offered by the Fayette County Assessment Office (http://property.co.fayette.pa.us/). Presumed Parcel Id links are subject to availability provided by that agency and associated web sites. Presumed Parcel Ids are determined as the mapped parcel containing a given latitude and longitude, are a best effort determination which is subject to error, and are not official. In cases where a facility is leased and there is a separate parcel id for the lease, if this parcel id is not separately mapped, the parcel id shown will be the id for the enclosing parcel. Parcel owners may be surface owners only and may or may not have any relationship to oil & gas facilities.

Does not currently include water supply permits. Does not include landfill permits even though many such are for Marcellus Shale waste. (It is not possible at this time to distinguish which landfill permits are for Marcellus Shale waste and which are not without doing File Review for each permit.)

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.
