Arrived at the well location at 1:15 pm (snow cover w/ slight wind to the east away from Ms. Melody Long property). Mr. Jon Scott, Mineral Resource Inspector 2 accompanied me on this complaint. The drilling rig has now moved off the location and company working towards removing the remainder of equipment. The well site showed no evidence of oil discharge. The drilling pit contained no oil or evidence of spraying. Crude oil was smelled around an approx 250 bbl frac tank used for brine and half full (to the east & downwind) located on edge of pit. Bottom valve contained a small drip (1 drip approx every 10 secs. All valves on well were observed open on one side (4.5 csg half-open). No detection with gas meter. The trees located along the embankment of intermittent stream were stained only from dusting and/or release lines (dirt+air). This area measured 79 in length. Walked the intermittent stream and found no evidence of oil. At 1:40 pm, an interview was conducted with Mr. Lewis, the landowner for Permit 58. Mr. Lewis states that he never heard any sounds or observed any discharge. This complaint will be closed.

An interview was also conducted with Ms. Melody Long at 3:00 pm, prior to the inspection of her house (interview ended at 3:04 pm). Ms. Long states no oil complaint was filed with Senator John Careys office because, her concern is with the methane gas in her sons bedroom. She states that Senator Careys office got it wrong and must have mixed up her previous message left about the air quality. Ms. Long states that she left them the same message she left me. I informed Ms. Long that I did not receive her message at the office until the following Thursday. I emphasized for her to call my cell phone with any problems because, we are in the field about 90-95% of the time. I

Left the location at depth of 3010.
1369658726 2011-01-17 Administrative Inspection No Violations Plug-back to the Queenston formation today, due to a dry hole. Discussed formation tops and plugs with the well owner, Mr. Gary Hopkins via telephone. The activity was not witnessed because of a Holiday.
1451417036 2015-12-29 Production Wells No Violations Production well inspection. The well consists of a pumping unit and 2-100 barrel tanks. The pumping unit was in operation during my inspection. The last reported production was in 2013.
1453639311 2010-12-21 Drill / Deepen / Reopen No Violations Witnessed surface job. Good returns were observed at the surface. The hole was drilled on air. The cement weight was verified with scale and showed 17 ppg. A wet cement sample was obtained from this job. Walked the perimeter of location and discovered that a nearby intermittent stream contained a dam approximately 100 in length. Hopco Resources representative Mr. Greg Boyd and Mr. Randy Rainer, the toolpusher for G&L Drilling were in attendance. Mr. Rainer stated that the dam was constructed for water containment, due to lack of available water trucks. Further stating the containment did not allow for much water and is not being used at this time. Mr. Boyd and Mr. Rainer were instructed to correct this deficiency immediately. Management will be notified of the inspection results. Left the location and cement was at the surface. Furthermore, rig personnel were starting up dozer to begin work on the stream. Note: snow cover at time of inspection. Water well complaint on neighboring property alleging disruption prior to spudding.
