(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]

Excerpt from the DEP Civil Penalty Assessment dated 7/23/2015 (which Joseph is appealing):
D. The Department conducted inspections of the Site, and observed that Joseph had stored, burned
and disposed of solid wastes on the Site including, but not limited to, oil and gas drilling waste,
PVC pipe, erosion fencing, wooden heavy equipment mats, plastic, and tires, without a permit
from the Department authorizing such activities.

Notes:
The authorization record 1070753 for Sanfilippo Well Sites has apparently been withdrawn. It is listed in eNOTICE for 8/12/15 but is currently deleted in eFACTS. There are two well pads at Sanfilippo; it appears DEP required Chevron to submit applications for each well pad separately. So evidently authorizations 1084950 and 1084960 replace authorization 1070753, which accounts for the deletion. DEP does have a permit status of "Replaced". Deleting from eFACTS a permit which has been replaced is highly questionable as proper IT practice.
------------------------
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.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/pa_environmental_justice_areas/20991>
<http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/dep_enhanced_public_participation_policy/20988>
). 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.
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.
