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
