0028046000 2018-06-22 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the front dike wall and all of the ground to the edge of TR 65 was covered with straw. There was new gravel and straw inside of the dike. The oil had all been cleaned off the front of the tank and the valve. I spot checked the area around the tank with a shovel, and found some residual oil in the gravel, but it was sparse and thin. I called Jerry Butcher, the son-in-law of Joe Chaney, who has been handling the clean-up. Jerry said that they had a truck load of soil that they were waiting to deliver to Tunnel Hill landfill. He said that he was waiting on the manifest paperwork to clear and he would send me a copy when he gets it. I told Jerry that he has three more things to do to completely resolve the compliance notice. He has to get the manifest to me, he has to have the plastic tanks drained and removed from the site, and he has to establish vegetative growth outside of the dike.
0046563687 2014-03-13 Production Wells Violations Noted On the day of my inspection I found that the well was equipped with a pumping unit. I found 1.5 line running from the well head to a regulator into many layers of insulating blankets and tarps secured with pallets. I did observe 2 black plastic line running from the bundle of insulation into the ground in the direction of a residence at #3731 TR 68A. The tank battery consisted of two 100 barrel tanks that were heavily rusted and not diked. Identification was posted. I found an un-lined earthen pit in front of the storage tanks that was full of water and oily sludge. There was a valve on the bottom of one of the 100 barrel tanks that opened to a plastic line that led to the earthen pit. I found multiple points around the pit where fluid had leached through the pit walls. I tested the fluid with a high range Quantab and found that the fluid contained 2538 ppm (parts per million) chlorides. The pit lies uphill from an intermittent stream which feeds into the Little Wakatomika Creek. The pit must be drained and the fluids disposed of at an approved injection well. All contaminated soil must be removed from the site and disposed of at an approved landfill. An earthen dike must be constructed around the storage tanks.

0491984970 2018-07-09 Production Wells No Violations I visited this site with Trish Cartmell and Jason Blocker from the ERS team to follow up on the spill remediation. Grass was starting to come up all over the remediated areas. Jason checked the soil in front of the dike with a conductivity meter and found the soil to be relatively clean of brine.
0684817307 2018-07-17 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the grass was starting to thicken over the remediated area. I called Jerry Butcher to ask about the manifest for the brine impacted soil and to ask about removing the two unauthorized tanks that were previously used to store brine water. He didnt answer so I left a voice message.
0926467832 2018-05-22 Production Wells Violations Noted I was driving west on TR 68-A when I noticed the front of one of the production tanks for this well was covered with oil. I stopped to investigate and found that there were two 100-barrel steel tanks that were set on blocks and both tanks were empty. The front of one of the tanks was covered with crude oil from the top to the bottom. The load line valve and base of the tank was covered with a thick oily residue. Straw had been spread throughout the earthen dike and around the bottom of the tank. The straw around the tank was saturated with crude oil. There was crude oil soaked into the soil under the tank that had been run over. There were some other areas in the dike where crude oil had soaked up through the straw. The dike was set in an elevated position approximately 20 feet south of TR 68-A. The ground surface was bare of vegetation from the base of the dike to the road and it was also covered with straw. The bare area was approximately 40 feet wide, parallel with the road. I did not find any crude oil in the soil or straw outside of the dike. There were some small pockets of standing water in the bare area, so I tested for chlorides with a low range Quantab strip. The low range maxed out immediately so I tested with a high range Quantab strip. The high range strip also maxed out at 10 Quantab units. The highest level on the scale was 8.8 Quantab units, which indicated the chloride level was above 6907 ppm(mg/L) or 1.139% NaCl. I also found some water in a tire track along the side of TR 68-A directly north of the dike, and I tested that with a high range Quantab strip. The titration showed 7.8 Quantab units, which equals 3700 ppm(mg/L) or 0.610% NaCl. I walked the roadside west and downhill until I reached the point where the roadside drainage ditch enters a culvert and the flow heads northeast in an intermittent stream toward Little Wakatomika Creek. I did not find any signs of oil in the roadside ditch or the intermittent stream, and I did not find any signs
1053492767 2018-05-31 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that nothing had been done to clean any of the oil or brine impacted soil around the tanks or dike. I called the number that was listed in the database and on the ID sign, and I spoke with Mrs. Gertrude Chaney. I asked he about the compliance notice that was sent out on 5/23/18 in regards to t he condition of the production equipment for their wells. She informed me that Mr. Chaney passed away a couple years ago and her son-in-law has been getting all of their mail. I asked who takes care of the wells and she said that one of their neighbors makes sure that they have gas to heat their home in the winter. I got the son-in-laws phone number and name, Dr. Jerry Butcher. I called him and explained what was needed. Dr. Butcher claimed that he only received the compliance notice yesterday and he has been in touch with a neighbor to do the excavating. Through the course of our conversation I concluded that Mr. Chaney had been draining the brine into the dike over the years and draining it into a plastic tank down by the road. Dr. Butcher admitted that he had been doing the same thing as his father-in-law because he didnt know any better. I explained the process of having the brine hauled and disposed of at an approved disposal well, and I made it very clear that what they have been doing is illegal and poses an environmental risk to the fresh water. He said that they will get started as soon as possible and asked if I could work with them on the 5 day remedy time.

1397484613 2014-04-14 Production Wells No Violations FOLLOW UP TO CA # 46563687: On the day of my inspection I found that the pit had been drained and the contaminated soil had been removed from the site. The tanks were surrounded by an earthen dike that was covered in straw. I found no leaks or spills and I found no contaminated soil at the location. This violation is resolved.
1499863975 2019-05-20 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I visited the site with Jason Blocker to probe the soil in front of the dike for chlorides. The max reading that Jason got was 1.0 MS, which indicated that there was not a continuing issue with draining brine into the dike. Jason probed the soil all around the dike, inside the dike, and in front of the tank and found no significant brine concentrations in any of the soil. I am still waiting for the two plastic tanks to be removed before I can close the compliance notice.
1528746350 2018-06-11 Production Wells No Violations Jerry Butcher called me last week to report that he contacted an oil/water hauler to empty the tanks so they could get started on the clean-up. On the day of my inspection I found that both tanks were empty, but no other work had been done to move the tanks or to remove any of the impacted soil.
1529350970 2018-06-18 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that there was a track-hoe parked next to the tanks. The soil outside of the dike had been dug up and stirred around, but it didnt look like any of it had actually been removed from the site. The soil and gravel inside of the dike had not been touched yet and the tanks had not been moved.
1532456818 2018-07-24 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the grass was starting to thicken up across the remediated area. The two unauthorized brine storage vessels had not been removed yet. I recently contacted Jerry Butcher who notified me that he had contracted a local pumper to plumb the two 100 barrel tanks for fluid storage and to remove the plastic tanks.
1536953136 2018-09-14 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the grass on the remediated area outside of the dike was growing well. The two 100 barrel tanks had not been plumbed together yet, and the unauthorized plastic tanks that had been previously used to store brine had not been removed yet.
1537882888 2018-09-25 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the two 100 barrel steel tanks had been plumbed together from the top. The drain valves on one of the tanks were unlocked and no bull plugs were installed. There was also a 10 foot section of 1 inch diameter plastic line coming out of the end of one of the drain valves. I did not find any signs that brine had been released in the dike, but it had been raining for the past 24 hours and everything was wet. The tow plastic tanks were still down by the road. I called Jerry Butcher and left a message to contact me.
1540581354 2018-10-26 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the two storage vessels, which had previously been used for brine storage, had not been removed from the site yet. I have tried to call Mr. Butcher multiple times and he has not answered or returned my calls. I sent him an email notifying him that the tanks must be removed from the general vicinity of the production equipment before I will close the compliance notice.
1545405641 2018-12-21 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the two unauthorized tanks, that have previously been used for brine storage, were still in the same place. They were within 50 feet of the steel 100 barrel tanks. I checked that tanks for fluid. The smaller cylindrical one was empty. I was unable to determine whether the larger rectangular one was holding fluid or not. I will send another email to Jerry Butcher, the Chaneys son-in-law, and current caretaker of the wells.
1548706082 2019-01-28 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the tanks had not been removed yet. I sent an email to Dr. Jere Butcher, caretaker of the wells, to remind him of the outstanding compliance notice and the actions that must be taken to resolve the notice. He replied to acknowledge that he was aware, and to ask for more time because of the winter weather
1557495082 2019-05-10 Production Wells No Violations On the day of my inspection I found that the two unapproved plastic storage tanks had not been moved from close proximity to the production equipment site. This well has a documented history of illegal brine storage and disposal, dating back to 2007. The two tanks in question have been used for brine storage in the past, and I requested that they be moved as a compliance requirement for the most recent brine disposal incident from May 2018. I have reached out to the point of contact, Jerry Butcher, numerous times over the course of the past year to have the tanks moved. I will contact Dr. Butcher again. I also found that there was another bare, muddy, deer-tracked spot forming in front of the dike. I contacted Jason Blocker to meet me out there to probe the soil for chlorides next week.
