2563173 Primary Facility 2017-02-21 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted No violations cited.
2782342 Primary Facility 2018-09-28 Site Restoration No Violations Noted Chief Oil & Gas submitted a Notice of Termination (NOT) for the Warburton North Unit pad covered under ESG 29-113-15-0005. The NOT was received by the Department on 9/19/18.

There is 1 properly tagged Marcellus well staged for production. There is also one each produced water tank and GPU onsite and in secondary containment.

There are 2 infiltration basins serving as PCSM BMPs. Both appear to have been constructed according to plans and functioning properly. Overall the site is >70% vegetative cover. However, some slopes near the access road are bare (Photos #4, 11).

Due to recent rainfall over the previous days the produced water tank secondary containment was appox. 50% full with water (Photo #9). The GPU secondary containment was almost over topped by rainwater (Photo #10).

The department recommends returning the NOT and resubmitting after the areas of the pad near the access road have been reseeded and vegetation is better established.
