0410086450 2017-10-20 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the area that had been treated for brine contamination was showing a little more grass growth since my last inspection. Approximately 65% of the remediated area was still bare though. The most concentrated area of grass coverage was on the front slope of the elevated dike. The lower portion was showing some damage from livestock. I found no sings of new contamination around the site or up in the dike around the tank.
0518805864 2017-05-16 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I met with DOGRM Emergency Operations Supervisor Trisha Cartmell to look at the brine impacted site. I found that the livestock fence had been removed from around the production tanks. There were also shovel marks in the front of the embankment of the elevated dike where it had been dug into. The area directly in front of the dike wall was still laying wet. The rest of the area had dried out. Trisha took video and photographs of the area.

0999813031 2017-08-17 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the straw was still in place over the entire site. There was very minimal grass growth starting on the front wall of the elevated dike. The lower portion of the brine impact area was not showing any grass growth. I did not see any signs of fresh brine or oil around the well or tank.
1000756460 2017-09-28 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the remediated area was starting to fill in with grass. The coverage was still thin and patchy, but most of the area was starting to show some progress, with regards to vegetative cover.
1024466868 2017-07-26 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that no straw had been put down on the site. I did not observe any grass seed, it either washed away in the recent rains or settled into the soil. There was some erosion starting on the front outside wall of the elevated dike. I called MFC, per direction from the Environmental Section, to ask that they put straw down and matting on the front of the dike.

1345448198 2017-09-08 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that there wasnt much change since my last inspection. There was some grass growing on the upper portion of the front dike wall, but the growth diminished down the slope to the flat area. The main area of the bio-remediation was mostly bare, with minimal, sporadic grass growth. It was fairly dry and I did not find any signs of deer or cattle digging into the soil. I called and left a message with Jim Aslinides recommending that they re-seed the area.
1347547058 2017-09-19 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I accompanied DOGRM Emergency Response Supervisor Trisha Cartmell to the site to do a follow up on the remediation. The vegetative growth on the site was very minimal. Most of the grass that has germinated and sprouted was on the front side of the elevated tank dike. There were no signs of residual brine contamination in the surface soil. There were no signs of erosion. This site will require continued monitoring.
1494853387 2017-05-13 Production Wells Violations Noted I was called out on Saturday, May 13 to respond to a crude oil release from a 100 barrel steel tank that is shared by permits 5378 and 5379. The tank is set along the south side of Twp. Rd 32, and the wells are both located 1500 and 2400 feet southwest at a 264 foot elevation increase. The primary production tanks are set within 100 feet of permit 5378. They consist of one 100 barrel steel tank and one 30 barrel steel tank set in a shallow, elevated earthen dike that is surrounded with steel wire livestock fence. There is also a vertical drip set outside of the fence. Both wells produce into the upper production tanks, and the fluid is then released into a 2 inch diameter line to the lower tank for pickup.

When I went up the hill to inspect the two wells and the upper production tanks I found evidence of a brine release. There was a five foot wide path of bare soil down the front embankment of the elevated dike, which led to an irregular diamond shaped bare area that extended from the dike wall toward the pumping unit for permit 5378. The area measured 85 feet at its longest point and 70 feet at its widest point. It had rained recently and there were pools of standing water throughout the surrounding landscape up to 30 feet from the main bare area. The muddy soil directly in front of the dike was heavily tracked by deer and cattle, and there were a number of honey bees congregated around the area. The front wall showed signs of being dug into and scraped away. I also noticed the presence of a crystalline formation on the top of the muddy soil. I conducted a field test for the presence of chlorides with a high range Quantab test strip. The chloride indicator strip was maxed out at 9.0 units once the titration was complete. The scale only goes to 8.8 units which is equal to 6907 Cl ppm(mg/L) or 1.139% NaCl, which indicates that the chloride content of the standing water in front of the dike was greater than 6907 parts per million (ppm). I also randomly tested the st

1494942549 2017-05-15 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I met with DOGRM Environmental Assessment Coordinator, Joshua Schiering to look at the brine impacted area at the upper dike. Josh mapped the perimeter of the brine scald with GPS to be plotted in a GIS layer. He later reported that the area of no vegetation calculated to be 1968 square feet in size. Most of the standing water around the perimeter of the scald area had dried up since my initial inspection on 5/13/17. The area directly below the front embankment of the elevated dike was still laying wet. I ran another field test for chlorides with a high range Quantab test strip. The titrator showed a chloride level of 8.2 units, which is equal to 4621 Cl ppm(mg/L) or 0.762% NaCl. Josh took more digital photographs of the area.
1498139826 2017-06-21 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I visited the site with SE Regional and District Supervisors Brent Bear and Mike Moreland, and Emergency Operations Coordinator Jason Blocker. The outer front wall of the elevated dike had been scraped back more than what I observed at my previous inspection. I found that the treated soil in the earthen berm had been mixed with the two smaller soil piles and the berm had been leveled. There was one large stockpile of soil in the middle of the scald area and I found no standing water around the site. There were still numerous bare spots around the perimeter of the primary scald area that had not been treated. I will contact MFC Drilling to request a plan of action and proposed timeline for the remediation of the brine impacted soil.
1500040767 2017-07-13 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the front wall of the elevated dike had been rebuilt and sloped into the lower area. The soil in the lower area had all been graded out to match the surrounding landscape. It had rained recently and there were multiple pools of standing water around the location. I spot tested two pools for the presence of chlorides with high range Quantabs and found no significant readings. The site did not appear to have been seeded yet. Vegetative cover still needs to be established.
1641980603 2017-07-19 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I met with Kyle Tharp and Shannon Mullins with the Environmental Assessment Section to look at the site. The soil had been final graded and covered in seed. There was no straw down and the site was dry. We discussed recommendations for stabilizing the hillside and fostering adequate vegetative growth.
1643634674 2017-08-25 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the grass growth was very minimal. The straw was still in place and I didnt see any signs of new brine contamination.
1650615743 2017-11-08 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the grass was coming in well across the front wall of the elevated dike, and throughout the lower area. The entire treated area was approximately 80% covered and there were no erosion issues. There were cattle grazing the area at the time of my inspection, and they had trampled the lower part of the treated area up, leaving muddy hoof prints. The primary land use where the tanks are located is for cattle and the site will always be subjected to their impact. I spoke with Trisha Cartmell with the DOGRM emergency response section to ask about her assessment when she was out last week. She said that the site looked very good at that time and she was closing the case with her section. The earthen dike had been repaired when the notice was first issued. I am resolving the compliance notice at this time.
1689704188 2017-08-07 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that straw had been spread over all of the recently disturbed soil and over the recently rebuilt dike. I did not find any signs of vegetative growth.
1857582846 2017-06-09 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the 30 barrel steel tank had been removed from the site. The front embankment of the elevated production tank site had been scraped away, and a large earthen dike had been constructed at the base of the embankment. There was a large mound of soil in the dike that appeared to have been mixed with granulated lime. There were two smaller mounds of untreated soil outside of the dike. There was a pool of water that had collected at the front of the dike and the soil near the base of the mound was muddy. The muddy soil was heavily tracked by deer and honey bees were congregated throughout the inside of the dike. The soil outside the front of the dike was also muddy and tracked by deer. I tested the water in the dike with a Quantab and found the chloride concentration to be at 1037 parts per million. I received email notification from DOGRM Central Office that MFC has been granted permission to treat the brine affected area in place, rather than excavating and removing the contaminated soil.
