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.

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.
