-109428360 2014-09-16 I inspected the location of the spill which occurred on 09/15/2015. Equity-contracted crews are continuing with mitigation and clean-up. Oil impacted topsoil and gravel from the area of the well is being excavated and off-loaded for off-site transport and disposal. The storm sewer has been steamed and no oil is visible. Oil booms are in place in the creek. Additional oil-impacted soil at the wellhead area is being removed. I met with Wade Balser of the Ohio EPA at the location. Wade recommended some additional active removal of some residual floating oil at the creek outfall. The pumping unit is currently shut down pending replacement of the broken rod liner and construction of a dike as requested by the City of Broadview Height Fire Chief. Compliance Notice
-1124849566 2014-09-22 I inspected the well as an additional follow-up to a prior release of oil. Mitigation activities are being completed. No residual oil impact is visible. I contacted Equity and recommended that the booms be left in the creek for at least 2 or 3 more rainfall events to capture any residual oil from the storm outfall. Restart of the pumping unit is still pending repairs to the rod liner.

135154669 2014-07-14 I inspected this producing unit as part of customary and routine inspection activities. The unit is producing and production reports are current. ID placards are present and have current and accurate contact information. The tank battery secondary containment dike is is good condittion. The natural surface drainage from the area of the wellhead and tank battery is to the north-northeast and I did not observe any signs of gully formation, wash-outs, or other impacts associated with the unit. Enclosure gates are locked. I did not observe any signs of leakage, spills, or other problem conditions.
1410880593 2014-09-15 I inspected this location pursuant to a call from Equity Oil at 2:30 PM. A release of oil was reported to be originating from the pumping unit. Upon my arrival I observed the producing unit to consist of a pump jack system in a chain-link enclosure and aboveground storage tank (AST) battery, also in a chain-link enclosure and located 300 feet to the west. The wellhead and battery are both located within a park owned and operated by the City of Broadview Heights. The park is comprised of several baseball and soccer fields. The topography is rolling and surface drainage from the area of the wellhead is to the north where a small, unnamed tributary of Chippewa Creek traverses the property, flowing west to east. Reportedly, the release of oil was caused when the timbers which support the pumping unit collapsed and compromised the valve seal. Oil then flowed north following topography to a storm sewer inlet located 45 feet from the wellhead. When I arrived at 3:15 PM, Equity-contracted crews were beginning mitigation activities. I observed a migration pathway of crude oil originating at the pumping unit and traveling over the gravel road base and grass to the north towards the storm sewer inlet. The crews had commenced removing the top 3 - 4 inches of oil-impacted top soil and had created a temporary stockpile. The crew foreman reported that oil had entered the storm sewer inlet and additional evaluation was incomplete. We inspected the nearest accessible downstream effluent location of the storm sewer, approximately 500 feet northeast of the well location, where the sewer enters a tributary of Chippewa Creek. At the that point, I observed an approximate 2' x 2' area of floating oil which has become trapped behind some debris. Further inspection of the creek several hundred yards down gradient did not reveal any signs of oil migration. I advised the crew foreman to begin installing oil-sorbent booms at the head of the creek outfall and remove the floating oil as much as practicable. Several ranks of booms were placed at several locations down gradient of the outfall. Sorbent pads were used to clean the residual floating oil. The crews also placed booms at the initial storm inlet, as well as an intermediate inlet located on the lower portion of the ball field. I notified representatives of Equity Oil and also notified the Ohio EPA spill reporting hotline. I also notified Broadview Heights Fire Chief. It is estimated that from 1 to 2 barrels of crude oil may have been released. It is unknown how much of the release impacted the creek. It is estimated that as much a 5 gallons of oil may have entered the creek. It appears that most if not all of the oil released to the creek was captured at the outfall. Additional mitigation will include steam cleaning of the interior of the storm inlet and vac-truck removal of any remaining free oil. The Fire Chief also requested that the crews construct a earthen dike at the well to help prevent a future occurrence. Satisfactory mitigation and clean-up must include removal of all impacted soils, and replacement with topsoil and re-seeding. The storm drain must be steamed out and any free oil collected. All free oil in the creek must be captured with booms and pad, and the booms should remain for at least a couple of high storm water flow events.
1411760005 2014-09-19 I inspected the location of this well as a follow-up to a prior release of oil. The oil impacted area around the wellhead has been excavated and removed. Topsoil has been replaced and seeded. Booms remain in the creek outfall area but the water is now free of any oil or oily sheen. Equity reports that the pumping unit will remain idle until repairs are made to the rod liner which was damaged. I will continue to monitor the unit for any other problems.
1419872849 2014-12-29 I performed an inspection of this location as a follow-up to a previous incident involving release of oil from the pumping unit which impacted the surrounding area and the adjacent creek. Areas around the wellhead are restored and seeding has been established. A series of booms which had been placed in the creek have become dislodged and are no longer needed. I contacted Tony Carlyle with Equity and advised that the booms could be removed. No further action is warranted with regards to this incident.
1431348245 2015-05-06 I was on site to conduct a status check of this well with DOGRM Inspector - John Fleming. The well is equipped with a pumpjack and the valves on the wellhead are open. There was a leak from the wellhead pumping T. The tank battery consisted of 2-100 BBL production tanks, mechanical separator, and a 1500 gallon poly brine tank. The brine tank top was crushed in. The production tank hatches are not sealed properly. The tank valves have bull plugs but are not locked. The well is not properly identified with a clear, legibly marked well identification sign. The well and tank battery were fenced with 8 foot chain link fencing with green slats and 3 strand barb, and the man doors were locked. The lease road is stable and drivable. Will contact the company to repair and maintain the brine tank and add locks to the tank valves. Also include updating the signage. Will reinspect the site in 30 days.
147814885 2013-03-20 The producing unit consists of the following elements: a production wellhead and a storage tank battery. The production wellhead is fitted with a pumpjack system and is currently producing. The pumpjack unit is enclosed in an 8-foot chain-link enclosure which is locked. The tank battery consists of 2 100-barrel steel tanks, a 10-barrel poly tank, a metering run, and separator. The battery is enclosed in a chain-link enclosure. Safety equipment (carbon filter, spark arrestor, low-pressure relief valve) is present. The secondary containment is present and in good condition. No violations noted.

2091567670 2015-04-02 I inspected this producing well as a follow-up to an earlier incident involving the release of oil from the wellhead which entered the storm drain and impacted the adjacent creek. Mitigation and remedial measures have been completed and further evidence of impact remains. The wellhead pump jack has been returned to service. Sorbent booms which had been placed at staged locations in the creek have been removed.

479703697 2013-10-03 The producing unit consists of a pump jack unit at the wellhead and an aboveground storage tank (AST) battery. The battery is comprised of 2 140-barrel steel production tanks, 25-barrel poly brine tanks, and separator unit. The elements are enclosed in separate chain-link enclosures. There is adequate secondary containment. The signage is in good condition. Urban drilling process safety equipment is present. The load outs are locked and bull-plugged. No problems noted.
