(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]

being surrounded by security fence. Well appears equipped for
production. Two brine tanks on site. The NOT for this site was
approved in 2013.
Department observed erosion gully beginning to form and a small
amount of what appears to be water leaving well pad area on NW side
of well pad. Department contacted operator rep Chad Eiserman by
phone from site. Mr. Eiserman stated that Chevron personnel will be
sent to site and he would follow up with department.
UPDATE 14:57: Operator rep Curtis Small contacted Department by
phone. Mr. Small stated a Chevron rep will be on site today and
inspect the NW area of the well pad. Mr. Small also stated that he
personally would be on site first thing tomorrow morning and will
follow up with Department by phone or email. Department requested
operator determine the source of the water leaving the site. Mr.
Small stated that information would be provided in the follow up
call/email.
UPDATE 1-23-18: Operator rep Curtis Small contacted Department by
phone. Mr. Small stated he was on site today. He believes the
water leaving the pad is surface run off; he recorded a water sample
reading of 290 microsemens this morning.
He also stated the well tender said that after heavy rains water
often drains from the pad in that area.
Violation is being issued for failure to comply with 25 PA Code 102

Notes:
[Repeat note from the 5/15/16 issue of this
bulletin]: The most recent prior permit for the Pritts Compressor
Station was issued in 2011, as listed in PA Bulletin [41 Pa.B.
3739], [Saturday, July 9, 2011]:
GP5-26-00578B: Laurel Mountain Midstream, LLC (1550 Coraopolis
Height Road, 2nd Floor, Moon Township, PA 15108) on June 17, 2011,
to allow modification and operation of a natural gas production
facility with the addition of five lean burn natural gas-fired
compressor engines rated at 1,380 bhp each controlled by oxidation
catalysts, and two 30 MMscfd dehydration units with reboilers
rated at 0.5 MMBtu/hr and controlled by a flare. The facility will
be authorized under GP-5 for natural gas production at the Pritts
Compressor Station located in Lower Tyrone Township, Fayette
County.
<http://www.pabulletin.com/secure/data/vol41/41-28/1137c.html>
That makes altogether 6 compression engines as of 2011. The
current application is apparently in lieu of a straight renewal;
LMM is reducing the facility to one compression engine, one
dehydrator, and a flare (and other miscellaneous equipment). For
details see the
NOI listed above.
---
DEP is now requiring electronic
document submission for operators of unconventional gas wells. The
plats -- which used to be available as .pdf files -- are now
required to be submitted as .dwg files. .dwg is a CAD software
file format family; to be able to view .dwg files you will need to
install a .dwg viewer or a full CAD package. An unofficial
.pdf version of pages 1-3 of the plat for Stewart 7H is available
here:
<http://faymarwatch.org/documents/stewart_well_pad/jr_Stewart%20Well%20Plats%207H_pp_1-3.pdf>
Note that there has been some color conversion (currently
incomplete) in converting to .pdf to make the plat more readable.
(Stay tuned for a more complete approach to the .dwg file problem
in the future.)
---
An unofficial .pdf
version of the plat for Kovach B 1 is available here:
<http://faymarwatch.org/documents/kovach_b_well_pad/jr_Kovach%20B%201%20Plat%201-3-18.pdf>
Note that there has been some color conversion (currently
incomplete) in converting to .pdf to make the plat more
readable.

The comment in inspection
report 2685605 above is pasted directly from the text on the
DEP's web site. There is a unit of conductivity (which would
make sense for measuring runoff) called "microsiemens", which is
evidently what was intended.
------------------------
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.

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.
Parcel data is provided via the tax
records search web page offered by the Fayette County Assessment
Office (
http://property.co.fayette.pa.us/).
Presumed Parcel Id links are subject to availability provided by
that agency and associated web sites. Presumed Parcel Ids are
determined as the
mapped parcel containing a given latitude
and longitude, are a best effort determination which is subject to
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.
Municipalities are shown from eFACTS records on the DEP web site.
The DEP has been known to list a municipality incorrectly.
