          Permits 9/19/16 - 10/2/16

Map Key
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: 6
dark purple: 10
purple: 19
(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
Crosses: Unconventional well permits (may not have been drilled)
Green: "Natural areas", e.g. state game lands, state forests

Notes:

All of the wells Herrington Unit 16H-20H are shown as "Proposed But Never Materialized" in a DEP Facility Search for "Herrington", program Oil & Gas, county Fayette. Readers are reminded that applications of type "Notification" may occur when an operator is finished with a site and do not necessarily indicate new work.

---
According to the Well Details Report, the Atlas conventional well DOLOVACKY 1 was never in production.

---
The Dicarlo Well Pad was inspected for Site Restoration on 08/27/2013, with comment noted "Restoration extension request granted for site until 1/21/15. Site stable." Even though the extension has expired, there does not appear to have been a subsequent inspection.

---
According to the Well Details Report, the SPRUELL HEIRS UNIT 1 well was never in production. This well was SPUD [drilling started] on 6/8/2000. eFACTS is showing the authorization record for the permit to plug this well as Pending; one assumes this is due to a delay in data entry for eFACTS.

---
There are no authorization records for the Range Resources well Rumbaugh 1 more recent than the original Drill & Operate Well record, which was issued on 5/6/1999. Are they supposed to apply for a permit to plug a well? We're seeing lots of authorization records for well plugging lately ...

There is a compressor station called RANGE RESOURCES APPALACHIA/RUMBAUGH STA which heretofore I have not shown on the maps because its location in DEP records (e.g. Facility Record) is not even in Fayette County. Based on satellite imagery and Fayette County property records, I am assigning this facility a location of 40.084655,-79.636567 and will now show it on all maps. I believe this geolocation is correct, but it is not official.

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.

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.
