NOTICES
Environmental Justice Listening Sessions
[47 Pa.B. 1918]
[Saturday, April 1, 2017]
The Office of Environmental Justice fulfills a critical role within
the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) ensuring
that all residents of this Commonwealth, especially those that have
historically been disenfranchised, are fully involved in the
decisions that affect their environment.
The Department will hold nine listening sessions around this
Commonwealth to accept comments on Environmental Justice in this
Commonwealth. Verbal testimony is limited to 5 minutes for each
witness and will be recorded by a court stenographer. Witnesses are
asked to submit one written copy of their verbal testimony.
Organizations are asked to designate one witness to present
testimony on their behalf at each listening session.
Specifically, the Department is soliciting input on the following
questions:
• What environmental justice concerns are most pressing in your
community?
• Do you feel that the current definition of an environmental
justice community (20% poverty or 30% minority, or both) properly
represents the needs of your community and the Commonwealth at
large?
• Do you feel the Department is engaged with marginalized
communities to ensure that they have a voice in the decision-making
process? How can the Department be more engaged with these
communities?
• What tools have you used to find out information on Department
permitting/enforcement actions?
• What ways can the Department be more effective at sharing
information with the public?
• How can the Department be more effective at receiving public
input?
• What resource is your community lacking that the Department can
provide that would assist in efforts to ensure environmental equity?
• What additional steps can be taken by the Department to
effectively reach out to these vulnerable communities to ensure that
their concerns are taken into consideration?
The listening session schedule is as follows:
April 12, 2017
4:30 p.m.—6:30 p.m. Greene County
Margaret Bell Miller Middle
School
126 East Lincoln Street
Waynesburg, PA 15370
[Other venues omitted.]
Contact
Questions concerning the comment period and listening sessions can
be directed to the Department's Office of Environmental Justice at
(484) 250-5942. For more information about Environmental Justice in
this Commonwealth or the listening sessions, visit the Department's
web site at www.dep.pa.gov (Keyword: Environmental Justice).
Persons in need of accommodations as provided for in the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 should contact the Department at (484)
250-5818, or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at
(800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) to
discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

appear to be seeded. It is recommended that the site be seeded and
receive additional mulching to prevent erosion. An erosion channel
had formed upslope of the access road and pad and sediment was
observed near the cross drain. An erosion rill in the access road
was observed. It is recommended these be repaired to prevent further
erosion. Silt socks were present at the site. It is recommended that
these be removed and any soil exposed from the removal be seeded and
mulched. A pipe was found in the grass between the access road and
well pad on the downslope side. It is recommended the pipe be
removed.
The well marker was in place and clearly visible. What appeared to
be production lines and equipment were observed on the pad (see
photographs). It is requested that the lines and equipment be
identified and a document depicting the location of underground
infrastructure be provided to the Department."

According
to the 3/30/17 issue of the Uniontown Herald Standard, John Ashley
Joseph of Connellsville faces 21 counts of illegal dumping at 5
different locations. This is apparently an investigation by the
Office of Attorney General, and an outgrowth of a DEP investigation
which resulted in a citation by DEP. Mr. Joseph appealed that
citation, and several others, in cases before the Environmental
Hearing Board, which have been consolidated under EHB case number
2015046; for the docket sheet in that case, see:
<
http://ehb.courtapps.com/public/document_shower_pub.php?docketNumber=2015046>
This case has been covered several times in this bulletin, see:

<
http://www.faymarwatch.org/happening/permits/082315.shtml#Joseph>
<
http://www.faymarwatch.org/happening/permits/100415.shtml#Joseph>
Proceedings in the EHB case were stayed on 2/5/2016 pending the
outcome of the Attorney General's investigation -- see case
documents 18 and 19:

We do not have precise locations for all of the alleged dumping
locations, so none of these locations show on the map for this
issue. Hopefully they will be available in the map for the next
issue of this bulletin.

Notes:
The latitude/longitude for the Dunbar

This is apparently incorrect. The parcel record shown above,
0920019903,
is clearly the location of a compressor station, and the billing
address for property taxes on this parcel is evidently a Williams
address.

Locations for POLK UNIT 1H and FIKE UNIT 1H
are exact; it's speculation that these correctly locate the ends of
the pipeline applied for as LPR MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LLC POLK PIPELINE
ESCGP ESG17-051-0001 above.
---
The "point" location mapped regarding
authorization 1174700 above in the Constantine to Lynn pipeline
project shows the location of a single conduit; the site
municipalities apparently reflect the extent of the whole pipeline.
(DEP does not typically publish GIS data for pipeline Erosion &
Sedimentation permits.)
------------------------
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.
