Notes:

Chevron's maps for the DOGBONE CENTRALIZED WATER FACILITY and the DOG BONE WATERLINE (supplied to Fayette County with Act 14 Notifications) show the waterline clearly intersecting the boundaries of the Centralized Water Facility. Accordingly, the two projects are being mapped here together as one project, which is how this should be considered. The red portion of the waterline is described by Chevron as overland, the purple is described as buried. The Centralized Water Facility is shown in yellow with a black outline. The maps were created by overlaying the geotiff file for the Carmichaels Quad USGS topographic map with "GIS-warped" tiffs constructed from scanning Chevron's Act 14 maps, then tracing the pipeline in GIS software.

This facility raises many disturbing questions. The Dogbone Centralized Water Facility is being permitted for "Residual Waste". It cannot be a coincidence that the Dog Bone Waterline intersects this facility, and one assumes the waterline will be connected to the tank farm in the Centralized Water Facility. That means: the pipeline will be acting as a residual waste reuse pipeline. Did all those granting easements for this "waterline" properly understand that it was to function as a residual waste line? What direction will "water" flow through the various segments of this pipeline? Will DEP in fact evaluate these two projects together as a single project? What exactly will be happening at the southeast end of this project? (At its southeast end, Chevron shows the pipeline connecting to an existing pipeline called "4-H (Young)"). (The 4-H (Young) pipeline is not currently integrated into the mapping.) Does this pipeline connect to the "Water Management Plan" known as "Monongahela River Source 47"? It sure looks that way. If so, this would provide a potential hydrological pathway from the Centralized Water Facility directly into the Monongahela River, and discharge into the Mon from the tank farm is surely illegal. What provision will there be to monitor that this is not happening? We have word from the Fayette County Office of Planning, Zoning, and Community Development that the Centralized Water Facility will require a Special Exception as a Public/Private Works. This will require a public hearing, at which these and other questions can be raised.

Authorization 1183070 above for EQT has very confusing metadata. The exact authorization is for a road crossing, and lists two wells, PITTSBURGH NATIONBANK #2 AND #3. There aren't wells with those names. It also shows two site numbers, which also appear to be wrong. The municipality shows as Stewart Twp, and there only seem to be two EQT wells in Stewart Twp, which are called in DEP's Oil & Gas Mapping database as MUELLER-HERR 1 and MUELLER-HERR 604586, so those are the two locations that are mapped.

According to their web site, "Universal Pressure Pumping, Inc. and Universal Well Services, Inc. are subsidiaries of Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc."

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.
