Docket(s):              PF12-1-000

Notes:

For more information on the Spectra Energy [Texas Eastern] Team 2012 Project, their web page for this project is located here:
<http://www.spectraenergy.com/Operations/New-Projects/Texas-Eastern-Appalachia-to-Market-Expansion/TEAM-2012/>
For Fayette County they describe the project as: "Addition of approximately 3.2 miles of 36-inch diameter natural gas pipeline generally within or adjacent to the existing Texas Eastern pipeline easement in Fayette County, PA east of the Monongahela River." This project has already received a federal certificate of convenience from FERC.

CORRECTION: In the notes section of the previous issue of this bulletin, I stated:  "Act 13 of 2012 establishes a new limit of 3000 feet within which a driller has presumed liability for contaminating a water source." This is not correct. The correct limit is 2500 feet. Apologies for the inaccuracy. Note this does not affect the question about the Hoehn well site. (If you see a mistake anywhere, please speak up!)

Fayette County has one compressor station listed in the DEP eFACTS database as belonging to Caiman Penn Midstream (Fike Connect). Caiman and Williams have agreed to a deal in which Williams is buying Caiman. Presumably when this deal closes we should see an authorization showing the transfer. One assumes Williams will need to keep this compressor station in a different subsidiary from Laurel Mountain Midstream, since LMM had an agreement with Atlas to devote 100% of its capacity to Atlas (now Chevron + Atlas for conventional gas). We are still missing a location for the Fike Connect compressor station!

-----

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.

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.
