Inspection ID Inspection Category Inspection Date Inspection Type Inspection Result Inspection Comments
2168291 Primary Facility 2013-05-21 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted
2229762 Primary Facility 2013-12-16 Routine/Partial Inspection No Violations Noted
2258017 Primary Facility 2014-03-28 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted 9:00, rainy day. Met landowner George Kramer who would like peripheral silt sock removed since vegetative growth >70%. Inspection revealed Mr Kramer is correct confirmed with him and with Chief. Otherwise no issues on the location at this time.
2272275 Primary Facility 2014-05-20 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted
2405937 Primary Facility 2015-09-09 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted 2H drilled to TD, shut-in. 13x9: venting to polytank, 0% methane
2509302 Primary Facility 2016-08-09 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Routine inspection to assess hydraulic fracturing operations. Jon Hafer of Chief was present during the inspection.

All equiment and amterials on site were within containment. No evidence of spills was observed during the inspection. Three barrels marked "waste fuel" and several other containers were observed within a small secondary containment not appropriately sized to contain the volume of the barrels and containers. Though the barrels were empty at the time, it was advised that they should be placed in containment that would adequately hold the volume of fluid that could potentially be placed in the barrells.

During the inspection a seal on piping connecting to one of the wells failed. At the time, the well was not pressurized and only a minimal amount of fluid was released to the containment surrounding the well head. No fluid left containment. Repairs on the seal commmenced immediately.

No violations were cited during this inspection.

2518936 Primary Facility 2016-09-14 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Routine site inspection to assess overall site conditions post-completion of wells. All equipment and tanks on site were within containment. Fluid in the containment surrounding the brine tanks being used for flowback was screened for electrical conductivity and registered 8.0 mS/cm using a Oakton handheld meter.

Several puddles were present along the east edge of the well pad. The electrical conductivity of these puddles was also screened, and yeiled results of 2.4 and 3.4 mS/cm. A sample of the puddle with the 3.4 mS/cm electrical conductivity was collected for laboratory analysis. No obvious staining was observed on the pad surface that could indicate a spill. No stressed or dead vegetation was observed in the areas surrounding the well site.

No violations were cited during this inspection.

2535217 Primary Facility 2016-10-27 Follow-up Inspection No Violations Noted Follow-up inspection conducted after receiving laboratory analysis of fluid samples collected during last inspection (Inspection ID No. 2518947, September 14, 2016). No Chief representatives were present during the inspection.

During the September 14, 2016 inspection, fluid samples were collected from a puddle on the well pad in response to field electrical conductivity readings of 3.4 mS/cm. The puddle was located along the east edge of the well pad. No sheen was present on the puddle, and no staining or odors were observed. Chief was notified of these findings, and had all puddles on the pad vacuumed and removed.

The laboratory analysis (SAC 942) indicates elevated levels of chlorides (1,713.1 mg/L), strontium (25,830 ug/L), iron (1,130 mg/L), total dissolved solids (3,050 mg/L), and manganese (22.55 mg/L). Elevated levels of these constituents indicate that a release of produced water or flowback occurred on the well site.

Electrical conductivity was screened in the same area where the elevated re
