Notes:

The Keyrock Energy Connellsville Compressor Station is a good candidate for being the smallest compressor station in Fayette County, at just one engine of only 145 horsepower. For comparison, each engine at Springhill #2 is 1380, each engine at Welling in Washington County is 1980 horsepower, and a turbine of the kind at Shamrock weighs in at over 15,000 horsepower. So a single engine at 145 is tiny. The original site name for this facility was "BELDEN & BLAKE CONNELSVILLE COMPRESSOR DUNBAR TWP". According to DEP records, Dunbar Twp has no fewer than seven compressor stations.

The original permit for the HALL 8423H well pad was issued on 06/30/2009.

Authorization 1034610 above is listed as site "PRITTS UNIT 2 OG WELL", but the permit number belongs to PRITTS UNIT 3H.

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

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.
