(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]

Notes:
The 7/24/2017 Deficiency Letter directs Chevron to submit a Transportation Plan. Connected water pipelines would in fact transport the residual waste covered in the permit, so should (but might not) be included in the transportation plan.
File Review documents for the 4-H (Young) pipeline clearly show that it is connected to the intake at the Monongahela River covered in Chevron's Water Management Plan "Monongahela River Source 47". The documents taken together clearly establish that Chevron plans a connected hydrological pathway from the Monongahela River to the 6 million gallon tank farm at the Dogbone Centralized Water Facility.
The outline of the tank farm and all of the associated pipelines and water facilities are shown on an integrated topographic map above (along with parcel outlines).
Chevron has been notified that the Dogbone Centralized Water Facility will require a Special Exception as a Public / Private Works from the Fayette County Zoning Hearing Board. This will clearly be one of the most important cases in the history Fayette County's experience with Marcellus Shale. Stay tuned.
For a letter from Fayette Marcellus Watcher Jim Rosenberg to the DEP regarding the many problems of the application for the DOGBONE CENTRALIZED WATER FACILITY see:
<http://faymarwatch.org/documents/Dogbone_Water_System_DEP_full.pdf>
(This letter is a quite large document, but most of the length is taken by Act 14 notifications which DEP should already have but were provided for convenience.)
Act 14 is a state law requiring applicants for several types of permits to notify every county and municipality in which the project will take place, and providing local government with a 30-day comment period. These permits typically do not allow any other type of public comment.

Stewart 2H was the site of a severe cementing problem, as revealed in Inspection Report 2419580 on 10/23/2015:
OPERATOR: CHEVRON APPALACHIA LLC
INSPECTION_ID: 2419580
INSPECTION_DATE: 10/23/2015
INSPECTION_TYPE: Drilling/Alteration
API_PERMIT: 051-24628
FARM_NAME: STEWART 2H
UNCONVENTIONAL: Y
SITE_ID: 788124
SITE_NAME: STEWART WELL SITE ESCGP-2 EXPEDITED
FACILITY_TYPE: Oil & Gas Location
INSPECTION_CATEGORY: Primary Facility
REGION: EP DOGO SWDO Dstr Off
COUNTY: Fayette
MUNICIPALITY: Luzerne Twp
INSPECTION_RESULT_DESCRIPTION: No Violations Noted
INSPECTION_COMMENT: HORIZONTAL MARCELLUS, Drilling on air @ 3197' (TD). Setting Intermediate Casing and cementing tonight (10/23/2015). During cementing of casing loss circulation occurred at end of job. Operator has agree to (CBL) to determine top of cement.
"CBL" stands for Cement Bonding Log. It is a kind of down-hole sonogram that can reveal flaws in the cement job.
Presumably as result of this, Chevron applied for Regulatory Inactive Status for all wells on the Stewart well pad except for Stewart 1H. (Based on this, the 6/26/16 issue of this bulletin included my erroneous conclusion jump that "It looks as though Chevron is throwing in the towel on almost the entire Stewart Well Pad in Luzerne Twp, with the exception of Stewart 1H.") All the wells on the Stewart well pad are now showing as having status Active.
Note that the authorization records in this issue of this bulletin for Stewart 2H - 6H all have Site: blank. This is clearly a data entry error at DEP. The Site should clearly be ID 788124, STEWART WELL SITE ESCGP-2 EXPEDITED (as noted in the "Well Details" sections of the Stewart authorization listings above. DEP did get it right in the brand new listing for Stewart 7H, which as shown above has not been SPUD. The wells Stewart 2H - 6H were all SPUD back in 2015.)
------------------------
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.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 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.
