          Permits 11/02/20 - 11/15/20

Map Key
Red dots: items in this permit list with an exact location.
Blue stars: Marcellus Gas Well Water Sources.
Where well laterals are mapped they show in red; a 400-foot buffer surrounding the lateral shows in blue (lavender where it overlaps a mapped mineral tract).
Where mineral tracts are mapped, they show in pink. Mineral tracts can overlap; the overlap will show in red. The precise meaning of "mineral tract" is not clear.
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: 5
dark purple: 6
purple: 18
(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
Orange triangles: Storage Field Wells (currently Dominion North Summit Storage Field)
Crosses: SPUD Unconventional well permits
Green: "Natural areas", e.g. state game lands, state forests

Brine tank in secondary containment is shown in Photo 5.  Fluid appears to have accumulated within 1' of the top of the freeboard.  Brine tank appears to be dislodged from its base (Photo 6).  A conductivity reading was taken of the fluid in secondary containment.  Conductivity meter showed a reading of 0.07 mS (Photo 7).  At this time there there does not appear to be any signs of a release. 

The Department recommends operator remove and dispose of the fluid within the secondary containment in accordance with current regulations in order to ensure the functionality of the secondary containment is maintained. 

A brine tank with large holes is also on site (Photo 8).  Brine tank does not appear to be in use at this time.  The Department requests information regarding wether or not the storage tank in Photo 8 is currently holding production fluid.

Notes:

The well ROWAN H HEYN 3 WELL, listed above under Inspection Issues, appears to be located in the Dominion North Summit Storage Field. However, the Storage Field shows as blank in the Well Details. This is possibly an error.

Well site inspections seem to be of two kinds: SAIR, which apparently stands for "Surface Activity Inspection Report", and SUBSAIR, which apparently stands for Subsurface Activity Inspection Report. Apparently, SAIR covers erosion and sedimentation issues and issues like spills relating to the Clean Streams Law; SUBSAIR apparently covers the actual well equipment. Apparently, SAIR inspections are done by different people than SUBSAIR, and they cannot write violations for issues that should be covered by the other kind of inspection. This may explain why we see inspection issues that would seem to be violations, but the Inspection Result Description shows No Violation(s) Noted. In this case the inspector seems to be calling for the other kind of inspection ("WQS", which evidently stands for Water Quality Standards) to happen. It is worth noting that there appears to be a Pending result code which can be applied if the inspector feels the result should be contingent on a subsequent inspection, but we don't see this code very often.

Over the years we've seen quite a few kinds of anomalies fall into this "other guy needs to write the violation" hole.

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:
<https://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 Redstone, Springhill, Nicholson, and German 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:
<https://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 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.
