At the time of my inspection, the Nelson 1H was producing with compression. The 2H and 3H were TD’ed but not stimulated.

Nelson 2H: The cellar was partly filled with gravel, but no water. The 13-3/8” x 9-5/8” and 9-5/8” x 5-1/2” annuli were plumbed to the same 550-gallon poly tank as the Nelson 3H. It was not possible to check the individual annuli for methane.

2607687 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.

2618045 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).
2669761 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.

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
