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: 5
dark purple: 11
purple: 14
(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: SPUD Unconventional well permits
Green: "Natural areas", e.g. state game lands, state forests

INSPECTION_COMMENT: "Well appears equipped for production. Well head surrounded by security fence.
At time of inspection Department observed a 10'X10' area lacking vegetation (photo #1). This area is approximately 688' from the well head. This area surrounds an approximately 16"" deep hole (photo #2). It appears that air/gas is escaping from this hole. Department contacted operator by phone from site. Operator rep Mark arrived and stated their brine collection line runs through this area. Mark also stated a water line and another gas line are located near this area. Department contacted Diversified Oil and Gas Co due to their ownership of a well on this property. Diversified Rep arrived on site and shut in their well. This did not cause the air/gas to stop escaping from the hole.
DEP WQS Cindy Witham contacted DEP OGI Rick Lewis. Mr. Lewis arrived on site and recorded a reading of 100% natural gas with a 62s meter.
Department requests operator ensure area is safe, replace/repair line, and remediate area per current regulations. Mark stated Keyrock Energy rep Doug Wadsworth is on the way with a sniffer and maps of the buried lines.
15:34: Operator rep Doug Wadsworth contacted Department by phone. Mr. Wadsworth stated the line is owned by Keyrock Energy and that the line was isolated and the leak stopped. Mr. Wadsworth also stated he is awaiting a call back from PA 1Call before digging up the line and repairing it. Department recommends operator continue to update Department in regards to this matter.
An inspection will be conducted at a later date to ensure line is replaced and area is remediated. Violation(s) may be forthcoming pending future inspections."

Notes:

The site BAER WELL SITES was the subject of a prior Notification application, which was denied on 3/20/2018. (See the 03/25/18 issue of this bulletin.) We can't really tell without having the actual application documents, but it is likely this is a "termination notice" for the well pad Erosion & Sedimentation permit. This site was the subject of successful litigation against Chevron by the split-estate surface owner, and became famous when a surface owner placed her ancestor's ashes at the property entrance, as required by her religion, and Chevron went to court to have the ashes taken down.

The well Bradish Unit 2 noted above is a Coalbed Methane Well. Fayette County's Coalbed Methane Wells are heavily clustered in Dunbar and Bullskin Twps. There are two maps under "More Maps" above that show the Coalbed Methane Wells as red squares.

The location of the Dunbar Compressor Station, both in DEP records and as notified to Fayette County by Laurel Mountain Midstream, appears to be incorrect. The location shown above has been determined using property records, and we believe it is correct. For details see the Notes in the 4/16/17 issue of this bulletin. The "sub-facility" records shown above seem include ones for equipment which LMM claims in its Act 14 notification have been removed.

------------------------
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.

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 in part by hand using copy and paste and in part using automated methods; it 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.
