Well completion activities have stopped, and crews are breaking down the euqipment. All equipment and chemicals on site were within containment, and signs of spills to containment were observed. Further, no evidence of spills on the pad surface such as staining or odors were observed.
No violations were cited during this inspection. |
| 2525828 | Primary Facility | 2016-10-06 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Routine inspection to assess site conditions after well completions. A coil-tubing rig was on site, and work was underway to connect the wells to the separator units and pipeline.
Overall site conditions were good. All equipement and chemicals on site were within containment. The electrical conductivity of several puddles on the well pad surface was screened and generally ranged from 700 - 1,000 uS/cm. However, one puddle located adjacent to the containment for the produced water tanks was screened at 5.2 mS/cm. The puddle with the elevated conductivity was approximately 3 feet wide and 10 feet long. A piece of discarded containment was in the puddle. I informed the on-site Chief representative, Gil, of my findings and recommended that the puddle be removed. A sample of this puddle was taken for SAC 942 analysis. The elevated conductivity in this puddle could be indicative of a release of produced water, flowback fluids, or frac fluids. A release of such fluids to the pad or ground surface would consti |
| 2539105 | Primary Facility | 2016-11-22 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Arrived @ 12:00. Weather: cold, windy, clouds. Chief environmental specialist Aaron Stredny was onsite checking puddle conductivites at the time of my inspection. Wells that had been fracced ¿ 2 months ago were in production and pad liner/containment had recently been removed. Two banks of Baker tanks were onsite. Stredney said that the plan was to store brine prior to the Blanchard frac, scheduled for December 9. There were 5 wells in production on location. Annular vents were plumbed to polytanks.

Follow-up inspection conducted after receiving laboratory analysis of fluid samples collected during the last inspection (Inspection ID No. 2525835, October 06, 2016). During the October 06, 2016 inspection, fluid samples were collected from a puddle on the well pad in response to field electrical conductivity readings of 5.2 mS/cm. The puddle was located near the northeast edge of the well pad in front of the produced water tanks. No sheen was present on the puddle, and no staining or odors were observed. Chief was notified of these findings, and had indicated to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) all puddles on the pad had been vacuumed up and removed. The laboratory analysis (SAC 942) indicates elevated levels of chlorides (3,598.8 mg/L), strontium (44,490 ug/L), iron (109.2 mg/L), and total dissolved solids (3,994 mg/L). Elevated levels of these constituents suggest that a release of produced water or flowback likely occurred on the well site. |

| 2735992 | Primary Facility | 2018-05-31 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Viol(s) Noted & Immediately Corrected | A T-fitting failed on a separator which resulted in 20 gallons of brine to be released to the pad surface. The operator had a vacuum truck on location the night of the failure for clean-up. The next day, on 5/31 the operator began excavating affected soil and rock on the pad surface. The removed material was placed within roll-off containers. Violation noted but immediately corrected. |
