Notes:

We have seen with other wells (see below) that the "Drill & Operate Well Permit Drill Deeper" permit may be associated with some kind of failure of the well. Inspection records for Ritter Unit 4H do show prior problems:

Category:     Primary Fa
Description:     In Compliance with Policy
Comment:     On 11/7/2013, a operator self reported a spill incident at the Chevron Appalachia LLC, Ritter 4H unit well site located in Redstone Twp., Fayette County. Approximately 50 gallons of drilling water was released to secondary containment. According to documentation and reports from Chevron - while in the process of transferring drilling water from the centrifuge to the frac tanks, one of the tanks overflowed. The release occurred into secondary containment. The material was vacuumed up and placed back in the tanks for reuse. Documentation provided to the Department is attached to this report. Upon review of all the information in relation to this spill incident, the operator performed the proper spill reporting requirements and has reported sufficient remediation at the area of release in compliance with the Departments current Spill Policy.
Note that neither of the two inspections above resulted in violations.

An example in Fayette County where drilling initially failed and resulted in a "Drill & Operate Well Permit Drill Deeper" permit is Kikta Unit 4H:
Inspection Id:     2065722
Date:     04/10/12
Type:     Drilling/Alteration
Category:     Primary Fa
Description:     No Violations Noted
Comment:     HORIZONTAL MARCELLUS, PATTERSON 325 DRILLING ON FLUID ,CHEVRON DECIDED TO PLUG VERTICAL WELL BORE BACK TO 7100\'.TWO ATTEMPTS TO DO HORIZONTAL PORTION HAS FAILED. MAJOR FAULT ISSUES. [Emphasis added.]
This is a notable well site, being next door to a burning underground mine fire.

[Inspection reports published by marcellusgas.org, a subscription web site.]

The notation "Final decision review/permit issuance is pending due to requirement of Act 14" in the Permit Review Notes for the Grassy Run Pipeline project above is interesting. This is the first such notation I've seen. Whether this has anything to do with the recent citizen Act 14 comment filed by Fayette Marcellus Watch citizens in connection with the Springhill #2 Compressor Station or not I don't know.

The well MASTOWSKI 8535H, permit number 051-24383, was originally issued on 9/16/2010, and evidently never went into production.

The OpenStreetMap map linked above for the R.E. EBERLY FMLY INDIANA CREEK 1 well incorrectly shows it on state game land, but zooming out 3 levels it is correct.

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

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.

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.
