2447062 Primary Facility 2016-02-03 Follow-up Inspection No Adverse Event or Action Reported Inspected site in response to an anonymous call-in that was reported to Rich Freese stating that "there are abandoned well sites that are contaminating a creek." The caller stated that "animals, fish and plants have been affected by the oil coming from the wells. There could also be abandoned barrels and drums leaking unknown oils or chemicals into the creek." Western Pennsylvania Conservancy was stated as the suspected responsible party. I inspected all five wellsites on the property and all nearby streams for leaking oil, but did not find a trace.There was no indication of animals, fish or plants affected by anything. It is important to note that there are no longer any wellhead, tanks or associated production equipment at the WPC #2, which was plugged in December 2015.
