| 2420607 | Primary Facility | 2015-10-16 | Complaint Inspection | Violation(s) Noted | At the time of this inspection, the well is plugged with the permit number affixed to an erected monument. According to Department records, this well was drilled between 5/24/2007-12/7/2007, inactive status was granted on 7/16/2009, and this well was plugged on 1/13/2015. The Department’s regulations provide that a well site must be restored within 9 months of completion of plugging of a well; therefore the restoration deadline for this site was 10/13/2015. During today’s inspection, the well site is not exhibiting 70% uniform and adequate vegetative growth; specifically, there is an area southwest of the plugged well along the access road that is approximately 26 yards x 19 yards in size that appears to have been recently seeded and mulched with minimal growth observed.Violations are being issued for failure to restore the well site within 9 months of plugging the well and for failure to have an E&S plan on-site for all stages of an earth disturbance activity. |
| 2434570 | Primary Facility | 2015-12-08 | Follow-up Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | On-site FUI conducted in response to viols issued under record 2420607 (enf ID 331057).At the time of this inspection, the well is plugged with the permit number affixed to an erected monument. According to Dept records, this well was drilled between 5/24/2007-12/7/2007, inactive status was granted on 7/16/2009, and this well was plugged on 1/13/2015.The Dept’s regulations provide that a well site must be restored within 9 months of completion of plugging of a well; therefore the restoration deadline for this site was 10/13/2015.During today’s inspection, the E&S plan is on-site. Viols issued for failure to have an E&S plan on-site for all stages of an earth disturbance activity have been corrected.The Dept is reviewing documentation submitted by the Opr on 11/17/15.Viols remain outstanding at this time. |
| 2439609 | Primary Facility | 2016-01-11 | Bond Release | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | Bond release inspection.
Per inspection ID 2420607, the Department is recommending the bond not be released for this well at this time due to outstanding violations. |
| 2443371 | Primary Facility | 2016-01-14 | Follow-up Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | On-site follow-up inspt conducted in response to viols issued under inspt record 2420607 (enf ID 331057).During today’s inspt, it appears that the location of a cut slope identified in the well site construction E&S plan and the unreclaimed high wall are located in the same area, but identified differently in the two E&S plans.Therefore, based on the Dept’s review of both E&S plans and on-site conditions, it appears the Opr failed to identify and/or observe the location of a high wall prior to construction, but a high wall is later identified as unreclaimed during plugging operations.In addition, the on-site plugging E&S plan restoration narrative indicates upon plugging of the well, “high wall reclamation will be completed.An erosion control blanket will be installed on the reclaimed face area”. During today’s inspt, the high wall does not appear to be reclaimed.Therefore, viols remain outstanding for failure to restore the well site w/in 9 months of plugging the well.

No E&S issues observed at this time. According to TOY Rep on site, areas within the LOB disturbed by the highwall restoration work will be seeded and mulched. Violation issued for Operator's failure to have E&S plan available at the site during all stages of earth disturbance activities has been corrected. Previously issued violation for failure to restore a well site within 9 months remains outstanding. A follow up inspection will be conducted to ensure permanent site restoration is achieved/maintained. In |

Inspection due to on-site meeting requested by Operator Rep Dan Rice.
At time of inspection E&S plan on site. Highwall area that was previously hydroseeded is partially vegetated; some areas of bare rock remain. No E&S issues observed on highwall area or at toe of highwall slope. No water observed leaving toe drain pipe. Department recommends Operator ensure no E&S issues develop at outlet of toe drain.

| 2543807 | Primary Facility | 2016-12-01 | Compliance Evaluation | No Violations Noted | On-site follow-up inspection conducted in response to violations issued under inspection record 2420607 (enf ID 331057) for failure to restore the well site within 9 months of plugging the well.
At the time of this inspection, the well appears plugged with the permit number affixed to an erected monument. The E&S plan is on-site. Temporary E&S BMPs are installed and appear to be maintained. A rock outlet has been implemented at the outlet of the toe drain as recommended in inspection ID 2530415. The recently backfilled high wall is nearing 70% uniform and adequate vegetative growth at this time. When standing at the base of the former high wall, the Department noted a thin horizontal line on the upper left side which appears to have previously “slid” and/or “settled”. Upon closer inspection, this section appears to be stabilized at this time. The Department recommends the Operator continue to monitor and maintain the stabilization of the backfilled high wall to ensure final permanent stabilization of the |
| 2547415 | Primary Facility | 2016-12-20 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | On-site meeting held between Department and Operator to monitor and discuss ongoing site remediation.
Violations were previously issued under inspection record 2420607 (enf ID 331057) for failure to restore the well site within 9 months of plugging the well and subsequently corrected under inspection record 2543807. At this time, the backfilled high wall appears temporarily stabilized with vegetation and rock and is nearing 70% uniform and adequate vegetative growth. The Department recommends the Operator continue to monitor and maintain the stabilization of the backfilled high wall to ensure final permanent stabilization of the site is attained to in order prevent any potential pollution events from occurring. Upon permanent stabilization, all temporary BMPs shall be properly removed for final restoration of the site. A follow-up inspection will be conducted in the future to ensure site is properly restored as per current regulations. Violations may be forthcoming pending future inspections monitoring sit |
| 2571851 | Primary Facility | 2017-03-08 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | On-site meeting as requested by Operator representative Matt Thomas to monitor and discuss site remediation.
Violations were previously issued under inspection record 2420607 (enf ID 331057) for failure to restore the well site within 9 months of plugging the well and subsequently corrected under inspection record 2543807. At this time, the backfilled high wall appears to be permanently stabilized with vegetation and rock and appears to be restored. However, the Department recommended to Mr. Thomas that the stabilization of the backfilled high wall continues to be monitored as one full growing season has not yet passed since the backfilling of this high wall. As the site appears to have reached final restoration, all temporary BMPs shall be properly removed. A follow-up inspection will be conducted in the future to monitor the stabilization of the backfilled high wall. |
