(Note if a project spans multiple municipalities -- e.g. a pipeline -- it will show in the count for each municipality.)
The number of facilities also follows the municipality name in brackets.
Municipality counts are based on the way the permit is listed by DEP; DEP has been known to get a municipality wrong.
Locations in brackets identify a precise location used to locate the actual site being permitted (e.g. locating a well pad or pipeline by the known location of a well.) Locations labeled beginning with "~" and ending in "[?]" are approximate and speculative based on inferences using on-line property and lease records. These are marked in the text as "[Approximate, Speculative]

Notes:
The Fayette County Office of Planning, Zoning, and Community Development can find no record that the Prah Compressor Station received a Special Exception for Public / Private Works from the Zoning Hearing Board. Fayette County apparently did not receive notification of the permit application above as required under Act 14.
There are two Sanfilippo well pads located in close proximity; the two Drill & Operate Well permits for Sanfilippo listed above are 1 each for the two separate well pads.
The inspection report for Inspection ID 2329749 cited above under PA Oil and Gas Mapping should have shown up under DEP Oil and Gas Compliance Report. That it doesn't is apparently a bug. There seems to be no way to copy to the clipboard information from an inspection report accessed via PA Oil and Gas Mapping. Alas, the information cited above for this inspection was retyped.
------------------------
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.

Marcellus Shale waste disposal
injection wells in Pennsylvania are
regulated directly by EPA, not DEP. Notice of any new permit
applications will appear at the above web address. I'm not aware
of any subscription service to be notified of such applications. I'm
not aware of any Marcellus Shale waste disposal injection wells in
Fayette County (yet ...) but we need to monitor this page for future
applications.

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.
