Climate Change Action Plan Update
[46 Pa.B. 5161]
[Saturday, August 20, 2016]

 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces that the 2015 Climate Change Action Plan Update (Plan) is now available. The Plan can be accessed through the Public Participation Center on the Department's web site at http://www.dep.pa.gov/Business/Air/BAQ/ClimateChange/Pages/default.aspx.

 The Pennsylvania Climate Change Act (71 P.S. §§ 1361.1—1361.8) mandates the preparation of an update to the Plan every 3 years. The first update to the Plan was issued in December 2013. With advice from the Climate Change Advisory Committee, the Department has prepared this updated Plan. The updated Plan discusses the reductions in greenhouse gases that have been achieved, provides work plans for additional emission reductions and makes recommendations for legislative action.

 Questions regarding the Plan should be directed to Mark Brojakowski at mbrojakows@pa.gov or (717) 772-3429.

 Persons in need of accommodations as provided for in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 should contact the Department at (717) 772-3429 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Notes:

The Site Permit for the Rosa Well pad for permit # ESX11-051-0038 above was originally issued on 1/10/2012.

---
According to the Well Details Report, the Hamilton-Johnson Unit 3 well was never in production.

---
DEP issued Authorization 1142383 on 6/27/2016 for Well Plugging Notice Intent to Plug Single Well for LUZ-HOGSETT 1. So why is there a new application of the same type for the same well? Curious.

------------------------

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.

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.
