| 2748660 | Primary Facility | 2018-07-03 | Follow-up Inspection | Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd | On-site inspection in response to violations issued under inspection record 2724154.
Since the Department's previous on-site inspection, rock has been added around the well head and partway on the access road. At this time, the well is drilled and appears equipped for production. Pump jack installed on well. |
| 2813226 | Primary Facility | 2018-12-11 | Follow-up Inspection | No Violations Noted | This is a combination oil/gas well which primarily produces oil. The well is tagged and in production. The previous leak from the rod and stuffing box housing has been corrected and this well is no longer leaking. The well head casing and equipment looks ok. |
| 2818063 | Primary Facility | 2018-12-19 | Compliance Evaluation | No Violations Noted | Compliance Evaluation Inspection to inspection record #2724154 where violations were issued for failure to install a permit number on a completed well, for failure to collect brine or other fluids produced during operation of the well, failure to control and dispose of fluids, and failure to properly store, transport, process or dispose of waste.
At time of inspection well appears to be in production. No active leaking of crude oil/other petroleum product from the well head is observed at this time. Site appears to have been adequately remediated. Based on inspection record #2813226 and today's inspection, it appears all issues have been addressed. Violations issued on 4-26-18 have been corrected. Violation(s) may be issued in the future if it appears that remediation effort was not adequate/was not completed per current regulations. |
| 2844233 | Primary Facility | 2019-02-22 | Routine/Partial Inspection | No Violations Noted | Partial inspection to update the wells location, the latitude and longitude were obtained at 11:54:48AM with a horizontal accuracy of +/-8.0' with a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx. |
| 2845052 | Primary Facility | 2019-02-22 | Routine/Partial Inspection | No Violations Noted | On 2/22/19 at 1155 hrs., I conducted a routine partial inspection of the Rottman 2 well (API 005-02231) in Perry Twp., Armstrong Co. with WQS Supervisor Meyer. The well is currently operated by Mr. Brent Hilderbrand. WQSS Meyer took GPS coordinates of the well to update in eFacts. I previously notified Mr. Hilderbrand that a well tag must be affixed to the well head and that a site ID sign should be installed displaying the operator's contact information. Mr. Hilderbrand attached a brass trapping tag to the well head with contact information imprinted on the front and the API permit number written in sharpie on the back. At a meeting held in Butler on 2/22/19, WQS Supervisor Meyer informed Mr. Hilderbrand that a larger tag would need to be affixed to the well head and a site ID sign should be conspicuously posted at the well site. A well transfer application was also completed by Mr. Hilderbrand at this meeting. A follow up inspection will occur at a later date. There are no violations noted for this |
| 2850583 | Primary Facility | 2019-02-14 | Incident- Response to Accident or Event | Violation(s) Noted | On 2/14/19 at 1430 hrs. and on 2/15/19 at 1225 hrs., I conducted inspections of the Rottman 2 well site and tank battery (API 005-02231) , in Perry Twp., Armstrong Co. in response to a water supply investigation. The Rottman 2 well is operated by Mr. Brent Hilderbrand. Upon initial inspection of the tank battery, I observed crude oil on the ground and in a containment area that had been released from a holding tank and possibly an old gathering line. The oil was being soaked up by absorbent pads; however, water was observed discharging from the containment area down over the hill. In addition, it appeared as though surface water and crude oil had over-topped the water well, adjacent to the release area. I sampled the water supply on 2/14/19 and the results of that sampling event are attached to this inspection report. The results show no impact to the water supply. In addition, it was later determined that the water supply is actually located on Mr. Hilderbrand's property and therefore belongs to Mr. H |
