Map Key
Red dots: items in this permit list with an exact location.
Blue stars: Marcellus Gas Well Water Sources.
Municipality shading: number of "facilities", with each well counting separately
(includes the red dots):
gray: 0
pale turquoise: 1
turquoise: 2
pale blue: 3
middle blue: 4
dark blue: 6
dark purple: 10
purple: 19
(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]

Cross-hatching: Environmental Justice Areas
Yellow triangles: Compressor Stations
Orange triangles: Storage Field Wells (currently Dominion North Summit Storage Field)
Crosses: Unconventional well permits (may not have been drilled)
Green: "Natural areas", e.g. state game lands, state forests

NOTICES
Proposed General Plan Approval and/or General Operating Permit No. 5A for Unconventional Natural Gas Well Site Operations and Remote Pigging Stations; Proposed Modifications to General Plan Approval and/or General Operating Permit No. 5 for Natural Gas Compressor Stations, Processing Plants and Transmission Stations (BAQ-GPA/GP-5); Proposed Modifications to the Air Quality Permit Exemption List (275-2101-003); Extension of Public Comment Period
[47 Pa.B. 1235]
[Saturday, February 25, 2017]

 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is publishing notice of the extension of the comment period that began on Saturday, February 4, 2017, for the proposed General Plan Approval and/or General Operating Permit No. 5A for Unconventional Natural Gas Well Site Operations and Remote Pigging Stations; proposed modifications to the existing General Plan Approval and/or General Operating Permit No. 5 for Natural Gas Compressor Stations, Processing Plans and Transmission Stations (GP-5); and proposed modifications to the Air Quality Permit Exemption List. The initial notice was published at 47 Pa.B. 733 (February 4, 2017).

 The General Permits establish Best Available Technology requirements and other applicable Federal and State requirements including air emission limits, source testing, leak detection and repair, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for the applicable air contamination sources.

 The proposed GP-5A was developed under the authority of section 6.1(f) of the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. § 4006.1(f)) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter H (relating to general plan approvals and operating permits), and will be applicable to unconventional natural gas well site operations and remote pigging stations. The revised GP-5 was developed under the authority of section 6.1(f) of the Air Pollution Control Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter H, and will remain applicable to natural gas compressor stations and processing plants and add applicability to natural gas transmission stations.

 Interested persons may submit written comments on the Draft General Permits and Air Quality Permit Exemption List by Monday, June 5, 2017. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. Comments, including comments submitted by e-mail, must include the originator's name and address. Commentators are encouraged to review the proposed General Permits and Air Quality Permit Exemption List and submit comments using the Department's online eComment system at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eComment or ecomment@pa.gov. Written comments should be submitted to the Policy Office, Department of Environmental Protection, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P.O. Box 2063, Harrisburg, PA 17105-2063.

Small erosion rills were observed on the site (see photographs). The rills had been addressed by Chevron and straw bale BMPs were in place to prevent further erosion. One rill appeared to have previously had straw bale BMPs present, but they had since degraded. It is recommended this location be addressed.

[There is a similar inspection record for each of the other 7 wells on this site (2 well pads).]

The wells at Polk and Fike all seem to be inactive. The notification above for the POLK TO FIKE PIPELINE may be just that the operator is "done" with it. (Just a guess ...)

FTS INTL SVCS LLC appears to be the parent company of what has been known locally as Frac Tech. There is serious uncertainty about the location. The address shows as 810 LOW HILL RD, BROWNSVILLE, PA 15417. Apparently Low Hill Road is on the north side of the Mon River, which means this location is in Washington County, not Fayette County, and Brownsville Boro has to be incorrect as the municipality. Bing and Mapquest map this about where I'm showing it, but Google shows it closer to Brownsville but still on the opposite side of the river from Fayette County.

This site received a violation "Industrial waste was discharged without a permit", Inspection Id, 1982131, 06/09/2011, and was assessed a penalty of $7500. See:
<http://www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eFACTSWeb/searchResults_singleViol.aspx?InspectionID=1982131>

FTS International describes itself as follows: "FTS International is one of the largest well completion companies in North America and has a joint venture in China with Sinopec Group. Exploration and production companies rely on FTSI’s deep expertise and customized hydraulic fracturing solutions to enhance their recovery rates from oil and gas wells, primarily in unconventional plays."

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.

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.
