DEP ID: 021-2100-001. Title: Policy for Implementing the Department Permit Review Process and Permit Decision Guarantee. Description: On July 24, 2012, Governor Corbett signed Executive Order 2012-11 ''Permit Decision Guarantee for the Department of Environmental Protection'' directing the Department to, among other things, establish a Permit Review Process and Permit Decision Guarantee. The executive order also rescinded the Money Back Guarantee created under Executive Order 1995-5.

The Department, on September 1, 2012, published for comment the draft ''Policy for Implementing the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) Permit Review Process and Permit Decision Guarantee'' to begin implementing the direction of the Executive Order. Upon review of the comments submitted the Department has made minor revisions to the draft policy and hereby publishes the final policy. The Department, by means of the prepared comment response document, has provided clarification and response to the comments and questions submitted during the comment period.

The Department plans to reevaluate the effectiveness of the new process and guarantee established through this policy on at least a quarterly basis during the first year. The first evaluation will be completed February 15, 2013.

Information pertaining to the Department's Permit Review Process and Permit Decision Guarantee can be found on the Department's web site at www.depweb.state. pa.us (DEP Search/Keyword: Permit Decision Guarantee).

Upon review of the comments submitted the Department has made minor revisions to the revised policy and hereby publishes the final policy. The Department, by means of the prepared comment response document, has provided clarification and response to the comments and questions submitted during the comment period.

Rescission of Technical Guidance

DEP ID: 013-2000-001. Title: Policy for Implementing the Department Money-Back Guarantee Permit Review Program. Description: Created under Executive Order 1995-5, the Money-Back Guarantee Permit Review Program established processing times for certain Department permits. On July 24, 2012, Governor Corbett signed Executive Order 2012-11 ''Permit Decision Guarantee for the Department of Environmental Protection'' directing the Department to, among other things, establish a Permit Review Process and Permit Decision Guarantee program to replace the former Money-Back Guarantee program. Because the Money-Back Guarantee program is no longer in effect, this guidance is no longer necessary and is being rescinded.

Information pertaining to the Department's Permit Review Process and Permit Decision Guarantee can be found on the Department's web site at www.dep.state. pa.us (DEP Search/Keyword: Permit Decision Guarantee).

Contact: Hayley Book, (717) 772-1856 or RA-EP-OPI@ pa.gov.

-----
Notes:

The major news of this bulletin is the number of permits withdrawn, returned, and even one denied. This is total speculation, but a good guess is that DEP is cleaning house of permits that have just sat there too long for the Governor's new permit review schedule. Particularly notable is the withdrawal of the Junction Natural Gas Storage facility. I had been wondering what was happening with this facility, and considered it a "sleeper" that could become a major concern at any time.

The authorization 947018 received on 10/17/2012 for Shamrock Compressor Station is for an *extension* of the *existing* permit (26-00588) -- *not* the "new" permit, 26-00588A on which the hearing on 11/13/2012 is being held. It is curious that they are applying for an extension of the existing permit at the same time as the hearing for the new permit. Perhaps they anticipate delays receiving the new permit.

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

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.

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.
