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: 5
dark purple: 11
purple: 14
(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

Smithfield Boro as the municipality is almost certainly incorrect. The two outfall locations are clearly in Georges Twp, an Environmental Justice Area, and the enclosing Parcel ID, 1425020722, also appears to be correct. It is possible DEP is confusing a postal address with an actual location municipality.

---
There is major uncertainty about the location of the Adams Compressor Station. The DEP maintains latitude and longitude for "Air Emission Plants" at the sub-facility level. Separate geolocation by sub-facility makes sense for certain types of permits, where e.g. each outfall or stream crossing has its own location. For compressor stations this can cause serious confusion. For the Adams compressor station, sub-facilities are currently carrying two different locations:

    Location: 40.03313,-79.661428
    Map URL: <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=40.03313&mlon=-79.661428#map=15/40.03313/-79.661428>

This is not in Dunbar Twp; instead it maps to Vanderbilt. The second location is:

    Location: 40.030833,-79.644167
    Map URL: <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=40.030833&mlon=-79.644167#map=15/40.030833/-79.644167>

The previous location published via an "eMapPA link" [an older system, no longer operating] in the Facility Record was:

    Location: 40.030837,-79.644161 [an Environmental Justice Area] <http://osm.org/go/ZWp29lrC--?m=>

Meanwhile, the address in the Facility Record is:

    362 LEISENRING VANDERBILT RD
    VANDERBILT, PA  15486-1018
    Dunbar Township, Fayette County

which is in yet a different place. Discrepancies in geolocating compressor stations are so profuse, one is tempted to think there is deliberate obfuscation. If DEP is "confused" about the location of a compressor station, how can it ever have been properly inspected?

The location being shown on the maps in this issue is the second one (Dunbar Twp) from the sub-facility records, but this is not verified.

---
The location of the Dunbar Compressor Station, both in DEP records and as notified to Fayette County by Laurel Mountain Midstream, appears to be incorrect. The location shown above has been determined using property records, and we believe it is correct. For details see the Notes in the 4/16/17 issue of this bulletin. The "sub-facility" records shown above seem include ones for equipment which LMM claims in its Act 14 notification have been removed.

------------------------
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 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.
