2352675 Primary Facility 2015-03-17 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted
2500387 Primary Facility 2016-07-08 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Routine inspection to assess overall site conditions. No Chief representatives were present.

Vegetative cover on site is greater than 70% total coverage of perennial plant species. Temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs have been removed. No evidence of accelerated erosion or sedimentation was observed.

The well pad surface has been decompacted and revegetated as an interim restoration measure. The restoration schedule submitted by Chief indicates that Well Site Restoration Reports (WSRRs) for this site would be filed in April 2016. Title 59 Pa. C.S. § 3216 (2012 Oil and gas Act), which relates to site restoration, requires that a well site be reclaimed within 9 months of completing the drilling of the last well. In order to remain in compliance with the Department's regulations regarding site restoration, a new well permit should be obtained, a request for an extension of time for site restoration should be submitted, or the WSRRs should be filed.

No violations were cited during this inspection.

2544241 Primary Facility 2016-12-13 Site Restoration No Violations Noted Inspection conducted in response to Notice of Termination (NOT) received by the Department on December 12, 2016. No Chief representatives were present.

The site was determined to meet the requirements of 25 Pa Code §102.22(a)(2) (i) Permanent Stabilization. A minimum uniform 70% perennial vegetative cover, with a density capable of resisting accelerated erosion and sedimentation was observed. The surface of the well pad has been de-compacted and vegetated. All temporary erosion and sedimentation BMPs were removed.

Chief also submitted, on December 13, 2016, a well site restoration report for the 1H well ( API No. 113-20108). The most recent waste report for the subject facilities was submitted to the Department's Oil and Gas Reporting Electronic (OGRE) system on August 8, 2016.

Based on the information observed during this inspection, the NOT is recommended for approval and well site restoration reports are acknowledged.

No violations were cited during this inspection.

2579425 Primary Facility 2017-04-05 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Inspection to assess site conditions after spudding operations. Gravel has been placed back onto the well pad. No evidence of accelerated erosion lr sedimentation. No violations cited.
2599830 Primary Facility 2017-05-02 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived @ 11:30. Weather: overcast. Moran Logistics staff were on site, getting ready for a toe prep on the Nelson 2H and 3H. The purpose of this inspection was to follow-up on Peg Farrell’s 5/26/17 notification of bubbling outside of surface casing for the Nelson 3H. There are 3 wells on this location. At the time of my inspection, the Nelson 1H was producing with compression. The 2H and 3H were TD’ed but not stimulated.

Nelson 1H: in production with compression. 5-1/2: 750 psi. Left @ 12:30.

2607682 Primary Facility 2017-06-26 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Two wells (2H and 3H) to be fracked in coming days. Baker tanks staged and within containment. Universal appears to be frack contractor. No violations noted.
2617459 Primary Facility 2017-07-20 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Site was in flowback phase, with temporary separators and dehy units connected to the 2H and 3H wells. Two tenders on site with the system. Secondary containments in good condition, and all water on the pad showed low conductance (.37- .65 mS/ cm).
2669754 Primary Facility 2017-12-06 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived at 12:15. Weather: cold, windy. Met with Jon Hafer (Chief) to observe conclusion of 168- hour PBT and isotopic sample collection.

Nelson 3H: 9-5/8" x 5-1/2": 282.05 psig, 13-3/8" x 9-5/8": 5.25 psig, 20" x 13-3/8": 0.75 psig. Nelson 1H: in production with compression. Nelson 2H: in production.

2752690 Primary Facility 2018-07-17 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Three wells staged for production phase. Three each water separators. Dump lines wrapped in insulating blanket. No leaks detected from production equipment. No violations noted.
2784703 Primary Facility 2018-10-03 Site Restoration No Violations Noted Chief Oil &Gas submitted a Well Site Restoration Report (WSRR) for the Nelson pad. The WSRR was received by the Department on 9/11/18.

The pad has been reduced in size and vegetation was well established (>70% cover) at the time of inspection. All PCSM BMPs have been installed and appeared to be functioning as designed.

There are 3 properly tagged Marcellus wells staged for production. There are also 3 produced water tanks, 3 GPUs, and 1 compressor onsite and in secondary containment. There was some minimal corrosion noted on the produced water tanks (Photo #12). There was also corrosion noted around a weld on pipeline leading to the GPUs (Photo #9).

Near the wells there were 2 containers with hoses that were not labeled (Photo #6). A tank of used motor oil was near the compressor with a very faded hazard label(Photo #11). There was also a container in a "Tank Vault" that had no visible label (Photo #7).

It is recommended that all storage containers be visibly and legibly marked with proper labels. It is
