Notes:

The authorization 902871 above for Shamrock Compressor Station is for the same permit about which a hearing was held at the New Salem Volunteer Fire Department. (This was the first compressor station hearing ever held in the Southwest Region of the DEP.) I have not yet received the comment response document from DEP giving responses to the testimony. It appears our testimony had no effect.

The compressor station RANGE RESOURCES APPALACHIA/RUMBAUGH STA is one of only 4 in Fayette County for which we do not have a location. Clean Air Council obtained latitude and longitude from DEP for this facility, but they are not correct -- the location they point to is not even in Fayette County!

Counties and Municipalities receive notification of intent to apply for certain kinds of permits under the terms of legislation known as Act 14. The county / municipality has a comment period, but these are seldom utilized. Several of us from Fayette Marcellus Watch appeared at the 6/13/2013 Fayette County Planning Commission meeting to speak about this issue and Springhill #2 Compressor Station in particular.

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

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.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/pa_environmental_justice_areas/20991>
<http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/dep_enhanced_public_participation_policy/20988>
). 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.

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.
