Bulletin
Final State Water Quality Certification Required by Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act for the Line 138 Service Abandonment and Lateral
Construction Project
Southwest Region: Waterways & Wetlands Program, 400 Waterfront
Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, Rita A. Coleman, 412-442-4000.
WQ05-011, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC (Applicant), 1700
MacCorkle Avenue, S.E. Charleston, WV 25314. Line 138 Service
Abandonment and Lateral Construction Project (Project), in
Springhill, Henry Clay and Wharton Townships, Fayette County and
Addison and Elk Lick Townships, Somerset County, ACOE Pittsburgh
District. The proposed project starts approximately 2.25 miles
southeast of the intersection of State Route 857 and Gans Road in
Springhill Township, Fayette County (Lake Lynn, PA, WV Quadrangle N:
39°, 43`, 16"; W: -79°, 45`, 49") and ends approximately 0.7 mile
southwest of the intersection of State Route 669 and Ash Hill Road
in Elk Lick Township, Somerset County (Grantsville, MD, PA
Quadrangle N: 39°, 43`, 22"; W: -79°, 10`, 18").
On May 20, 2015, Applicant filed an application with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7 of the Natural
Gas Act (15 U.S.C.A. § 717f) seeking a certificate of public
convenience and necessity to construct and operate its Project (FERC
Docket No. CP15-495-000). The FERC Environmental Assessment for the
Project, which was issued on 9/17/15, may be viewed on FERC's
website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search;
CP15-495-000).
On August 14, 2015, Applicant requested a state water quality
certification from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection (PADEP), as required by Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341), to ensure that the construction, operation
and maintenance of the Project will protect water quality in
Pennsylvania through compliance with State water quality standards
and associated State law requirements, which are consistent with the
requirements of the Clean Water Act.
The Project includes the operation and maintenance of some segments
of the existing, approximately 33-mile, Line 138 natural gas
pipeline, consisting of 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch and 16-inch pipeline,
within an existing 50-foot right-of-way, where service is being
abandoned. Columbia proposes to remove approximately 0.18 mile of
exposed pipeline, two (2) residential tap consumers, two (2) meter
stations, one (1) odorizer, one (1) siphon, five (5) ground valves
and eight (8) mainline valves. Columbia plans to grout 28 road
crossings to abandon in place.
Columbia also proposes to construct an approximate 0.65-mile,
2-inch lateral extension within the existing 50-foot wide Line 138
right-of-way (ROW) in order to maintain service to the Firm
Transportation customer and their operations. The Firm
Transportation customer is served from Line 138 through which
service will be abandoned, Columbia proposes to maintain gas service
to this customer by installing a lateral extension within the Line
138 ROW to connect with Lines 1804 and 10240. The lateral extension
project will involve construction activities within the existing
50-foot wide ROW, acquisition of 50 feet of new ROW to connect the
lateral to the Line 1804 and 10240 ROW, two (2) new isolation valves
on Lines 1804 and 10240, and a contractor/staging yard all located
in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The proposed lateral extension
activities are herein referred to as the ''Lateral Construction
Project''.
In Pennsylvania, the Project, as proposed, will require impacts to
0.3416 acre of:
Laurel Run (HQ-CWF), Reason Run (WWF), Collier Run (WWF) and Zehner
Run (HQ-CWF), and unnamed tributaries of Patterson Run (HQ-CWF), Big
Sandy Creek (HQ-CWF), Youghiogheny River (WWF), Chub Run (WWF), Mill
Run (WWF), Zehner Run (HQ-CWF), Big Shade Run (CWF), 5.05 acres of
floodway, 0.8664 acre of temporary PEM wetland impacts, and 0.0292
acre of PEM and PSS permanent impacts.
PADEP published notice of its proposed state water quality
certification in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on (April 2, 2016) (46
Pa. B. 1656) and received no comments from the public.
PADEP certifies to Applicant that the construction, operation and
maintenance of the Project will not violate applicable State water
quality standards set forth in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93, provided
Applicant complies with the permitting programs, criteria and
conditions established pursuant to State law:

no signs of erosion observed. The wellheads appeared to be in good
condition. In the location of the restored tank pad a gravel
excavated area was observed. I contacted LPR and was informed that
the
gravel was buried during Chevron
Appalachia LLC's reclamation of the site. LPR
was excavating the gravel for use on the site in order to construct
a tank pad under an E&S plan, since the site has received an
NOT. I recommended that LPR contact DEP engineering staff to confirm
that an E&S plan was sufficient and no permitting was required.

Notes:
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.)
---
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 the POLK TO FIKE PIPELINE above.
---
A previous FRANKHOUSER UNIT ALT RW permit,
authorization
ID 1170902, was issued on 2/23/2017. Why did they need a
second one? We are currently in the dark about these ALT RW permits
for older Marcellus well pads.
---
Much of Chevron's more recent drilling
activity in Fayette County has focused on Luzerne Twp. It has not
been clear why. A wild educated guess would be that something in the
results of the Dogbone 3D Seismic Survey has given them an
indication that this area is likely to be more productive. The
application above for the DOGBONE CENTRALIZED WATER FACILITY is a
strong tea leaf in this direction. Note that this application is of
type "RW General Permit Processing Registration". That suggests that
this facility will include flowback and produced water from
surrounding well sites. We don't know whether this facility will be
for an impoundment, or enclosed tanks. Centralized flowback /
produced water impoundments have had some sorry history in Southwest
Pa -- we will have to keep our eyes on this facility.
------------------------
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.
