Fayette County Marcellus Shale Permits 1/15/18 - 1/28/18
The
big news in this bulletin
is 3 new Chevron well pads in German Twp. (That makes 4 new well
pads in German Twp with the Kovach B pad which just appeared in the
12/17/17 issue of this bulletin; not to mention that the Zalac well
pad in German Twp is Chevron's most recently-fracked well site.)
Together with all the activity in Luzerne Twp, there can't be much
doubt of a ramp-up in at least permitting, if not yet drilling.

Marcellus
Gas Well Water Sources.
Municipality shading: number of "facilities", with each well
counting separately
(includes the red dots):
gray: 0
pale turquoise: 1

pale blue: 3
middle blue: 4
dark blue: 5
dark purple: 6

(Color coding may differ from one issue to the next.)
(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 a
surrogate for 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 Dogbone Centralized Water Facility was the
subject of a Fayette County Zoning Hearing Board hearing on
12/13/2017, at which Chevron presented a topographic map including
"proposed" pipelines. An unofficial copy of that map is available
here:
<
http://faymarwatch.org/documents/ZHB_17-41_121317_topo.pdf>
(and as the right-hand map in the "More Maps" section above).
Although the pipelines show on this map as "proposed", the pipeline
routings clearly include sections of existing pipelines, including
the 4-H (Young) Pipeline and the buried section of the Dog Bone
Waterline.
The hearing has been continued, with the continuance currently
scheduled for 2/28/2018, 10 a.m., Fayette County Public Service
Building, 22 East Main St., Uniontown PA.
There appears to be no visible difference (that can be discerned
from the eFACTS web interface) between the current eFACTS entry for
this facility vs. the previous time this authorization was listed in
eNOTICE. There is presumably a difference in some database column or
other that we are not seeing over the web.
---
The authorization record above for STEWART
7H shows Status as Pending; however the Open Data Repository record
for this well shows the permit date as 2018-01-26, suggesting that
the permit has in fact been issued and that the two databases are
not automatically sync'ed.
---
There is something important to note about the
inspection report above of the well Lee 11. As a mere comment, the
inspector notes: "It is recommended the tanks be inspected to ensure
integrity." This is a head-shaker. Why didn't that inspector just do
that inspection at the time? The answer seems to be that DEP
apparently has two totally separate crews doing inspections at well
sites: one crew inspects the well pad Erosion & Sedimentation
permits, and a separate crew inspects the actual wells and well
equipment. Why can't these crews be cross-trained and do
both
kinds of inspections? If all an inspector can do when noting a
problem that should be handled by the "other kind" of inspector is
"recommend" in a comment, there is too much room for error in
whether that "recommended" second inspection actually happens.
------------------------
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.

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.
