Notes:
The original permit for the HOEHN 1048 TO
CRABLE 8 PIPELINE ESCGP-EXPEDITED was issued on
05/11/2012
(Authorization ID
922202).
Authorization 1034610 above is listed as site
"PRITTS UNIT 2 OG WELL", but the permit number belongs to PRITTS UNIT
3H.
The SkyTruth data feed of NRC reports appears to be
down. (Since February??) So we don't have access to the NRC report that
triggered the inspections for Wolf 27. OpenStreetMap seems to have the
wrong name for Volek Rd, calling it Cagy Rd.
The notation in the inspection reports for the
Hoehn wells that they are setting up to frack is interesting. There
appears to be no reliable place on-line to find out where wells are
currently being fracked. The notation about fracking for these wells is
probably a coincidence.

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.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/pa_environmental_justice_areas/20991>
<http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/dep_enhanced_public_participation_policy/20988>
). 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.
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.
