(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]

Smithfield Boro as the municipality is almost certainly incorrect.
The two outfall locations are clearly in Georges Twp, an
Environmental Justice Area, and the
enclosing Parcel ID,
1425020722, also appears
to be correct. It is possible DEP is confusing a postal address with
an actual location municipality.
---
There is major uncertainty about the location of
the Adams Compressor Station. The DEP maintains latitude and
longitude for "Air Emission Plants" at the sub-facility level.
Separate geolocation by sub-facility makes sense for certain types
of permits, where e.g. each outfall or stream crossing has its own
location. For compressor stations this can cause serious confusion.
For the Adams compressor station, sub-facilities are currently
carrying two different locations:
Location: 40.03313,-79.661428
Map URL: <
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=40.03313&mlon=-79.661428#map=15/40.03313/-79.661428>
This is not in Dunbar Twp; instead it maps to Vanderbilt. The second
location is:
Location: 40.030833,-79.644167
Map URL: <
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=40.030833&mlon=-79.644167#map=15/40.030833/-79.644167>
The previous location published via an "eMapPA link" [an older
system, no longer operating] in the Facility Record was:
Location: 40.030837,-79.644161 [an
Environmental Justice Area] <
http://osm.org/go/ZWp29lrC--?m=>
Meanwhile, the address in the Facility Record is:
362 LEISENRING VANDERBILT RD
VANDERBILT, PA 15486-1018
Dunbar Township, Fayette County
which is in yet a different place. Discrepancies in geolocating
compressor stations are so profuse, one is tempted to think there is
deliberate obfuscation. If DEP is "confused" about the location of a
compressor station, how can it ever have been properly inspected?
The location being shown on the maps in this issue is the second one
(Dunbar Twp) from the sub-facility records, but this is not
verified.
---
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.

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 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.
