(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]

The incident has resulted in violations of 78.57(a) and SWMA 301."

Notes:

The Dogbone Centralized Water Facility was the subject of a hearing before the Fayette County Zoning Hearing Board, case ZHB 17-41, 12/13/17. The hearing was continued to 1/17/18 at 10 a.m. At the hearing Chevron testified that the facility was the subject of two different permits, permit # WMGR123SW025, which has been carried in this bulletin under Authorization ID: 1179749 (still pending), and a second Erosion & Sedimentation / NPDES permit which was being handled by the Fayette County Conservation District. They also testified that the project has been scaled back from 6 tanks (as notified to Fayette County in the Act 14 Notification) to 5 tanks, and projected that the E&S permit would be issued by Conservation District on the following day, 12/14/17. The permit # PAC260008 shown above appeared in the 9/23/17 issue of the PA Bulletin and has such meager metadata that it does not show either the issue date nor what the permit is for, so prior issues of this bulletin did not have it linked properly to the Dogbone Centralized Water Facility. Based on personal conversation with the Conservation District, it appears the 9/23/17 PA Bulletin listing is for the original 6-tank design, and that Chevron submitted a modification to the Conservation District for the 5-tank design. Presumably the modification PAC260008 will appear in the next issue of the PA Bulletin. It would appear from all of this that when a permit application is submitted direct to the Conservation District, there is no eFACTS listing for it and no "automatic" notification of any kind from the Conservation District; the only notification appears to be a listing in the PA Bulletin after the permit is issued.

ESCGP-2 is the permit needed to build a Marcellus well pad.

The well ORR 28 shown above is listed as an unconventional well, but it is not Marcellus. The producing interval for this well is the Oriskany Sandstone. For more information on the Oriskany Sandstone, see the note in the 11/13/16 issue of this bulletin,

The June 8, 2013 issue of the PA Bulletin lists the following information for Air Quality permit # 26-00594 for the CalFrac Plant:

26-00594: CalFrac Well Services, Corp.—CalFrac Plant (2001 Summit View Drive, Smithfield, PA 15478) on May 28, 2013, to operate a cement and fly ash storage facility for the oil and gas industry in Georges Township, Fayette County. The subject facility consists of four storage silos and two blend tanks control by a dust collector used to store materials used for oil and gas well isolation. The facility has the potential to emit less than 1.0 tpy PM / PM10. The facility is required to conduct a weekly survey of the facility during daylight hours while the facility is operating to ensure compliance with the visible emission, fugitive emission and malodor restrictions. Records of the weekly survey performed must be recorded. Monthly preventative maintenance inspections are to be performed on the control devices and recorded in an on-site log. The facility is also required to water all in-plant roads once per day, dependent on the weather, maintain a set vehicle pattern, post speed limit sign of 15 mph as well as promptly remove earth or other material from paved roads onto with earth or other material has been transported by trucking or earth moving equipment, or other means. Particulate matter emissions are not to exceed 0.04 gr/dscf. The proposed authorization is subject to State and Federal Regulations. The permit includes operation requirements, monitoring requirements, and recordkeeping requirements.

There is some lack of precision in the exact overlay of GIS layers when doing mapping. At high resolution the location given for the DAWSON TP site actually falls within parcel 09010001, which is the Yough River Trail. It is unlikely that this is where the outfall actually is; the actual discharge is into an unnamed tributary of the Youghiogheny River. An entry for this permit from the PA Bulletin of April 20, 2013 shows:

PA0217778, SIC Code 1389, Keyrock Energy LLC, 106 Ferrell Avenue Suite 5, Kingsport, TN 37663-2371. Facility Name: Dawson Treatment Plant. This existing facility is located in Dunbar Township, Fayette County.

 Description of Existing Activity: The application is for a renewal of an NPDES permit for an existing discharge of treated coalbed methane production water.

 The receiving stream(s), Unnamed Tributary to Youghiogheny River, is located in State Water Plan watershed 19-D and is classified for Warm Water Fishes, aquatic life, water supply and recreation. The discharge is not expected to affect public water supplies.

 The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001 are based on a design flow of 0.06 MGD.

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.

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.
