2462163 Primary Facility 2016-03-07 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted I inspected the site after receiving an email about the operation of the waste impoundment (Frac impoundment on E&S Plans). At the time of the inspection, 5 wells onsite were in production. Two impoundments were located onsite. One impoundment was completely frozen over and the other had no ice. The waste impoundment had approximately 2 foot of freeboard and was completely frozen over so i could not collect a sample. I collected sample 3440267 at 12:15 from the northeast impoundment where no ice was present which was labeled as fresh water. Field conductivity from this impoundment was approximately 40 umhos/cm. The site, including the impoundments, has not been restored because an active well permit exists for the site; yet, the impoundment has been holding waste since 2012. I recommend reclaiming the waste impoundment to minimize the associated liability since the site was not constructed to the centralized impoundment standards and does not include groundwater monitoring through monitoring wells.
2584386 Primary Facility 2017-04-13 Routine/Partial Inspection No Violations Noted I arrived on-site @ 09:30 hrs. in response to an email notification regarding removal of sludge and liner from the on-site wastewater impoundment prior to closure. I was greeted by Russ Lawrence of EXCO as I arrived; Mr. Lawrence informed me that he was just getting ready to contact Ben Bahner, WQS for the area, to inform him of a potential issue with the impoundment. On Wednesday 4/12 the sludge had been removed from the impoundment and the upper layer of liner pulled out; Mr. Lawrence noted that there was fluid present on the lower layer of liner. Conductivity readings of this fluid were in the 11-12 mS/cm range, indicating that the upper liner had likely leaked. The felt and mesh material that had been present between the two layers of liner was pulled up onto the impoundment slope to dry and the fluid was removed by a vac truck. On Thursday 4/13 @08:00 hrs. removal of the lower liner commenced, and Mr. Lawrence began taking soil conductance readings in the impoundment; he noted an area approximately

I entered the site at 12:03 and met with Rick Mays and Barry Graham (both EXCO). We met onsite to discuss the implementation of the PCSM (Post Construction Stormwater Management) plans after the Frac Pit onsite is properly removed and screened (see SeanVanFleet’s inspection report from 4/13/2017). EXCO proposes to push the PCSM BMP’s closer to the well pad after topsoil stockpile is removed on the north side of the well pad. In addition, they proposed using an earthen berm as an alternative. I requestedthe operator have their consultant contact Dan Harvey (DEP) to discuss what documentation is required for this proposed modification. I do agree that moving the PCSM BMP’s closer to the well pad will reduce the overall footprint and minimize the amount offarm land impacted by the well pad. While reviewing the newest ESCGP permit it was noted that one wetland is noted on the north side of the well pad. The area delineated as a wetland is currently in the middle of the land
