[Excerpt:]
Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act for the Texas Eastern Appalachian to Market 2014 Project

 Southcentral Region: Waterways & Wetlands Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, Scott Williamson, Program Manager, 717.705.4802.

 On February 24, 2013, Texas Eastern filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in Docket No. CP13-84-000 under Section 7(b) and (c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) seeking a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) authorizing abandonment, construction, and operation of the Texas Eastern Appalachia to Market 2014 Project (the TEAM 2014 Project or Project) located in Pennsylvania and other states. The proposed facilities would consist of approximately 33.6 miles of 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline comprising seven separate pipeline loops and associated facilities and horsepower (hp) upgrades at four existing compressor stations in Pennsylvania. Additional piping modifications and maintenance would occur at sites within Pennsylvania to accommodate bi-directional flow.

 The four existing compressor station upgrades proposed in Pennsylvania are as follows: the Uniontown Compressor Station in Fayette County; the Delmont Compressor Station in Westmoreland County; the Armagh Compressor Station in Indiana County; and the Entriken Compressor Station in Huntingdon County.

 The pipeline facilities are loops that are collocated with existing natural gas pipelines except for 0.2 mile along the Perulack East Loop. This segment of the Perulack East Loop has been sited away from the existing right-of-way due to a combination of steep vertical and horizontal slope areas. The proposed Project's pipeline facilities in Pennsylvania new loops of 36-inch diameter piping as follows: Holbrook Loop, 6.7 miles, Fayette County; Perulack West Loop, 2.7 miles, Perry County; Perulack East Loop, 5.4 miles, Perry County; Shermans Dale Loop, 7.1 miles, Dauphin County; Grantville West Loop, 2.3 miles, Lebanon County; Grantville East Loop 3.8 miles, Lebanon County; and the Bernville Loop, 5.6 miles, Berks County. The project also includes various aboveground facilities, including pig launchers, pig receivers, and valves, that would be constructed to support the pipeline system expansion in Pennsylvania at these new loops.

 The Department, by this notice, proposes to certify that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project complies with the applicable provisions of sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317). The Department further proposes to certify that the construction, operation and maintenance of the projects complies with Commonwealth water quality standards and that the construction, operation and maintenance of the projects does not violate applicable Commonwealth water quality standards provided that the construction, operation and maintenance of the projects complies with the conditions proposed for this certification, including the criteria and conditions of the following permits:

[Details omitted. For the specific requirements list, see the link below.]

 The Environmental Assessment prepared by FERC may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov under the Docket No. CP13-84-000.

 Prior to final action on the proposed section 401 Water Quality Certification, consideration will be given to any comments, suggestions or objections which are submitted in writing within 30 days of this notice. Comments concerning the proposed 401 Water Quality Certification should be directed to Mr. Scott Williamson, South-central Region Waterways and Wetlands Program Manager at the above address or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD). Comments must be submitted in writing and contain the name, address and telephone number of the person commenting and a concise statement of comments, objections or suggestions on this proposal. No comments submitted by facsimile will be accepted. The Department will consider all relevant and timely comments received. Comments must be submitted within 30 days of this notice.

Notes:

The Estimated Location shown for SR-4007 WATER INTAKE is inferred from the Fayette County Planning Commission agenda for September, 2013, at the approximate closest point between Rowes Run Road and Redstone Creek. (eFACTS does not give an eMapPA link.) Sara Rosiek, Director of Planning, Zoning, and Community Development for Fayette County, informs that this facility will require a Special Exception for Public / Private Works from the Fayette County Zoning Hearing Board.

The location for BAILY UNIT 14H was approximated as the center of the property map for parcel 19-24-0004, verified against the DEP location for the well BAILY 5 OG WELL. DEP is no longer publishing latitude / longitude for well permits that have not yet been issued.

------------------------

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.

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.
