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.)

INDEPENDENT REGULATORY REVIEW COMMISSION
Action Taken by the Commission
[48 Pa.B. 7085]
[Saturday, November 3, 2018]
Environmental Quality Board # 7-549: Electronic Submission of Air Quality General Plan Approval and General Operating Permit Applications (amends 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127)
Environmental Quality Board
Electronic Submission of Air Quality General Plan Approval and General Operating Permit Applications
Regulation No. 7-549 (# 3215)
On September 14, 2018, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this regulation from the Environmental Quality Board (EQB). This rulemaking amends 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127. Notice of proposed rulemaking was omitted for this regulation; it will become effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
This final-omitted rulemaking allows for the electronic submittal of air quality general plan approval and general operating permit applications to the Department of Environmental Protection.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of EQB (35 P.S. §§ 4005(a)(1) and (8) and 4006.1(f)) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.
By Order of the Commission:
This regulation is approved.

INSPECTION_COMMENT: "On 10/13/18 at approximately 1600 hours Chevron had a synthetic based mud discharge from a flare stack in the southern corner of the well pad. The mud impacted the well pad surface, drainage channel, and storm water basin. Chevron ceased operations to prevent further fluid release. On pad material was removed and absorbent booms were placed in the basin.
On 10/17/18 I met with BA Lambie of Chevron and conducted an incident response inspection. The well pad had been excavated and sampling was being conducted. The majority of the drainage channel was excavated and the remaining portion was being completed. Chevron indicated they plan to drain and excavate the basin to prevent further impacts from oil droplets."

INSPECTION_RESULT_DESCRIPTION: Violation(s) Noted
INSPECTION_COMMENT: "A complaint was received by the Department on 10/20/18 alleging a spill occurred at the Newcomer 1 gas well on 10/18/18. The complainant alleged the brine tank was removed and the brine was intentionally released onto the ground, causing grass to be killed. No spill was reported by the Operator.
On 10/22/18 at approximately 1200 hours I, along with Environmental Protection Specialist Kevin Maskol, conducted an inspection of the site. Dead vegetation and soil discoloration were immediately apparent. An odor was also observed near the impacted area. The release appeared to have occurred adjacent to the brine tank pad site and followed a tire track depression as it flowed down slope.
The location where the brine tank had been situated contained what appeared to be rain water that was impacted by brine. Field screenings for conductivity in the tank site showed conductivity levels of 12.3 mS. Upon further investigation it appeared the vegetation and a layer of soil had been removed from the release area and placed onto the gravel tank pad. Soil sample 9539-051 was taken from this material.
Additional field screenings were conducted throughout the release area. Two additional soil samples, 9539-052 and 9539-053, were collected.
A water well was observed down gradient within 150' of the release area."

Notes:
The Kovach B Laterals map shows the "Mineral Tract" in pink, and the laterals in red. The laterals are mapped from the Landing Point to the Bottom Hole. (Landing Point is the point at which the well bore arrives at production depth, in the Marcellus Shale; Bottom Hole marks the farthest end of the well bore. Surrounding each lateral is a buffer of radius 400 feet, shown in turquoise (lavender where the buffer overlays the Mineral Tract). The portion of the well bore from the Top Hole (i.e. the surface location) to the Landing Point is not shown.
The number 400 feet for the radius of the buffers is not taken from anything showing on the Kovach B plats. Rather, this number appears to be the "radius" of Mineral Tracts on plats for the adjoing Zalac Well Pad. The Kovach B plats all show the same outline for Mineral Tract for each well. This seems to imply that the area to be fracked for Kovach B all constitutes a single "Unit". The term Unit is well recognized in Oil & Gas law, and appears in leases even dating back to the conventional gas drilling boom at the beginning of the 21st century. Is "Mineral Tract" the same thing as "Unit"? Not clear. Note that on the Kovach B map, there are places where the buffer goes outside the Mineral Tract. One assumes this reflects what is actually happening underground, and in a case like this the fracker is fracking outside the leased subsurface. Is this subsurface tresspass? Possibly. In the case called Briggs vs. Southwestern Engergy, Superior Court ruled that it is subsurface tresspass. This ruling has not yet been either affirmed or reversed by the PA Supreme Court.
Of course, we don't know that a 400 foot "frack distance" is in fact what will happen 8000 or so feet underground. In a presentation a few months ago in Westmoreland County, Dr. Anthony Ingraffea answered a question about this by saying that if you are within 1000 feet of the well bore, you should assume you're being fracked. 400 feet is very likely an extremely conservative number.
How common is fracking outside the tract? It would take close examination of many plats, Well Completion Logs, and even the driller's Microseismic Data to be sure. A reasonable educated guess is: it is rampant. If Briggs vs. Southwestern Energy is upheld, this could have serious financial implications for the natural gas industry.

An earlier authorization for SPROUL 7005 for Regulatory Inactive Status (Authorization ID: 1245075) was just recently issued (10/10/2018) -- see the 10/21/18 issue of this bulletin. So why was there this second application? We've seen this before. Is this just a case of careless duplicate data entry at DEP? The permit for that earlier authorization states the following:
"Future use depends greatly on successful completion of planned nearby interstate pipeline takeaway capacity. Triana Energy respectfully requests time to allow these projects to proved more economic markets.
A significant length of production pipeline is required to move gas from this well to market. Final engineering and funding decisions depend on completion of proposed interstate pipelines, which would provide for more economic market opportunities."
Note that the Well Completion Log for this well shows that it was drilled through the Marcellus Shale down to the Oriskany Sandstone, which appears to be the target formation. For more information on the Oriskany Sandstone, see the 11/13/16 issue of this bulletin. (The Oriskany lies beneath the Marcellus Shale.)
------------------------
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 Redstone, Springhill, Nicholson, and German 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.

Gas section has information about pipelines.

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.
