Allen, VA 23060-3308). In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.424,
127.425 and 127.521, the Department is providing notice that it
intends to issue a renewal Title V Operating Permit for operation of
the North Summit Compressor Station located in North Union Township,
Fayette County.
The emission sources covered by this operating permit will include
two Cooper natural gas-fired compressor engines rated at 3,200 bhp
each, a Waukesha natural gas-fired auxiliary generator engine rated
at 610 bhp, a natural gas-fired Peerless boiler rated at 3.57
MMBtu/hr, two natural gas-fired Tulpro Heaters rated at 25 MMBtu/hr
each, a natural gas-fired GasTech Water Bath Heater rated at 6.34
MMBtu/hr, and miscellaneous storage tanks.
Potential emissions for the facility including emission
restrictions have been calculated as follows: 178.85 tons per year
of carbon monoxide (CO), 163.10 tons per year of nitrogen oxides
(NOx), 8.40 tons per year of particulate matter less than 10-microns
(PM10), 7.83 tons per year of particulate matter less than
2.5-microns (PM2.5), 0.81 ton per year of sulfur oxides (SO2), 37.26
tons per year of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 0.36 ton per year
of benzene, 0.02 ton per year of ethylbenzene, 10.20 tons per year
of formaldehyde, 0.64 ton per year of hexane, 1.43 tons per year of
acrolein, 0.28 ton per year of toluene, 1.43 tons per year of
acetaldehyde, 0.05 ton per year of xylene, 14.74 tons per year total
Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP), and 57,658 tons per year of
greenhouse gases (GHGs).
The emission restrictions and testing, monitoring, recordkeeping,
reporting and work practice conditions of the TVOP have been derived
from the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, 63, and 70,
and 25 Pa. Code Article III, Chapters 121—145.
All pertinent documents are available for public review between 8

EQT REPORTS FOURTH
QUARTER AND YEAR-END 2020 RESULTS AND PROVIDES 2021 GUIDANCE
[Excerpt]
OPERATIONAL UPDATE
As previously announced, the Company closed the acquisition of
Chevron's upstream and midstream assets located in the Appalachian
Basin on November 30, 2020. The acquired assets contributed
approximately 12 Bcfe of net production to the fourth quarter
2020. Asset integration processes are in advanced stages and ahead
of schedule, with all upstream infrastructure being monitored and
managed by the Company's technology platform. There have been no
operational issues identified to-date and the Company expects to
complete all integration and data migration tasks by the end of
the first quarter 2021.
During the fourth quarter 2020, the Company continued to validate
the sustainability of its well costs, developing it's PA Marcellus
wells for approximately $695 per foot, excluding the impact of
targeted reservoir testing performed on 4 wells during the period,
aimed at further improving future capital efficiencies. For the
full year 2020, the Company's PA Marcellus well costs averaged
approximately $675 per foot, which is expected to remain
relatively constant going forward. During 2021, the Company will
be transitioning more activity to its WV Marcellus assets, with
the primary objective of drastically reducing well costs, as it
did with its PA Marcellus assets during 2020. Part of the WV well
cost transformation will be driven by the installation of a 45
mile mixed-use water system that will serve as the backbone for
optimal development efficiencies moving forward, while also
reducing environmental impacts and improving long-term operating
expenses. The water system is expected to service approximately
1.8 million feet of pay currently on the Company's development
schedule, with an extensive inventory of future locations to also
benefit from this infrastructure.

I was unable to contact the Operator but was able to contact the
plugging contractor who indicated that he would get somebody there
as soon as they could to fix the leak.
Wireline truck was sitting on location but it does not appear that
any work has begun on the plugging of the well."

There is reason to question the permit number. Standard practice in
the Bureau of Air Quality when a permit is amended is to append a
suffix letter the first time the permit is amended, which is then
incremented for subsequent amendments. Why is the permit number here
not 26-00402A?
Authorizations for the two INR GP-04
entries noted above, Rubles Run Water Withdrawal and Monongahela
River Water Withdrawal, have been missing from eNOTICE listings,
which explains why they weren't listed in this bulletin at the time
they appeared in eFACTS. This is presumably a bug at DEP in the
program that creates the eNOTICE listings. Duane Nichols sends the
photograph below of the sign for the site "Monongahela River Water
Withdrawal", which announces it as a WMP. This is short for Water
Management Plan, and the location corresponds to a former WMP of
Chevron known as Monongahela River Source 74. DEP does not consider
a WMP to be a permit, so WMPs are not listed in eFACTS.
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:
>).
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 Redstone, Springhill, Nicholson, and German 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:
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.
Township Supervisors receive information regarding Erosion
& Sedimentation permits, and these records may be reviewable at
township municipal offices.
DEP permits are reviewable through the File Review process, for
application to do file review see: <

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

This compilation from the above sources was done in part by hand
using copy and paste and in part using automated methods; it may
omit relevant permits.
Parcel data is provided via the tax
records search web page offered by the Fayette County Assessment
Office (
).
Presumed Parcel Id links are subject to availability provided by
that agency and associated web sites. Presumed Parcel Ids are
determined as the
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.
