-------------------------
Notes:

As most readers are probably aware, Springhill #2 is the compressor station located next to the Carr family. Authorization ID 894174 above is presumably for more compressor engines at this facility. Given the amount of attention to this facility in Fayette County already, I would anticipate this permit to be the highest profile permit that has appeared in this list. As if this location were not already burdened enough, the wells Chico Unit 1,2,3H are located extremely close by.

Blasting permits for Wampum Hardware Co. are apparently for seismic testing.

The site permit for Kurutz 10H, 11H, and 12H (Authorization ID 883797) is noted for the follwing sub-task: Send Deficiency Notice/Receive Response on 9/20/2011. This location was involved in a serious violation, as noted in a previous E-mail. Perhaps cleanup from this violation has "issues".

We need to pay close attention to permits of type Alt Waste Mgmt Practice Land Application on Well Site. We are seeing such permits following upon violations for spills.

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.
