2580877 Primary Facility 2017-04-10 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The DEP inspected the SWEPI LP Houck 433 well site in Shippen Township Tioga County on 4/10/2017 at 1300 hrs. The weather was 73 and sunny. The flow back equipment has been removed from the site. No evidence of staining was observed where the tanks were located. E&S controls appear to be functioning. Standing water was observed in the sediment trap below the fill slope. Cut and fill slopes appeared stabilized. No standing water was observed on the pad surface. No violations are noted at this time. I departed the site at 1400 hours.
2660738 Primary Facility 2017-11-14 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted An RTNC inspection of the SWEPI LP Houck 433 well site in Shippen Twp., Tioga Co. was conducted on 11/14/2017 at 1350 hours. Personnel present was Mary Tassin, Shell OSR and myself. The top-hole rig was currently onsite. Miss Tassin stated they had just completed cement on the 6H well and would be onsite until possibly 11/26/2017, drilling the remaining wells.

All tanks containing fresh water and brine water were staged on secondary containment. Puddles on the pad surface near containment, were screened for field conductivity, were found to be within normal limits.

No violations are noted at this time. I departed the site at 1500 hours.

2708738 Primary Facility 2018-03-21 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The Department of Environmental Protection conducted a routine inspection of the SWEPI LP – Houck 433 Well Pad located in Shippen Twp., Tioga Co. on 3/21/2018 @1245 hours. The weather was 38 degrees, partly cloudy with winds north @10mph. Brett McCoy, SWEPI OSR was present onsite for my inspection.

The Ensign 162 rig is currently onsite preparing to set the casing on the 6H well. The rig will begin drilling the 8H well on 3/23/2018. The rig has plans to drill 7 wells while onsite. The wells that were previously in production were shut-in and the production equipment was moved to make room for the rig. Two puddles were observed off the edge of containment with a field measured conductivity of <2 mS/cm. No pollution material was observed in the vicinity of the puddle; however tire tracks were clearly visible. The slightly elevated conductivity appears to be due to road salt. Mr. McCoy stated he would have a vac truck remove the puddles, as a precaution, immediately. No other issues were noted on the pad surfa

2724054 Primary Facility 2018-04-26 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted I met Charlie Young of SWEPI when I arrived. Ensign rig #162 on location, drilling at 4400' on the 2H well. Dry chemicals were near the edge of the sitewide containment, and I recommended to Charlie that the pallets be moved back from the berm. The cuttings backyard was very clean and well maintained. The containment berms on the pipe rack end of the rig were very flattened out from traffic driving over them; although no regulated substances were being stored on this end of the pad, I recommended to Charlie that he have the berms repaired.

2832636 Primary Facility 2019-01-28 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The DEP conducted a routine inspection of SWEPI's Houck 433 Well Site in Shippen Twp, Tioga County on 1/28/2018 at 1040 hours. The weather was 13 degrees, sunny and snow covered undisturbed areas of the pad. I spoke with Morgan Davis, Shell OSR, onsite and he accompanied me around site.

Keane Group was currently fracking the last stage of the 3H. Renegade Wireline Services was also onsite. Morgan stated that they were receiving water into frack tanks onsite from the above ground storage tank located east of the pad. The above ground storage tank (AST) onsite was receiving water from the Johnson impoundment through the fast-line. Trucks were also observed onsite offloading into the AST.

A small puddle within the frack tank containment on the west side of the pad (see photo #2) gave me an electrical conductivity reading of over range (>19.99ms/cm). Morgan said there was a vac truck onsite and that he would have the containment cleaned out momentarily. No puddles were observed outside of the contained area.

2853492 Primary Facility 2019-03-11 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The Department of Environmental Protection conducted an INCIDENT inspection at the SWEPI LP - Houck 433 well pad located in Shippen Twp, Tioga Co. on 3/11/2019 @1130 hours. Matt Skolny, SWEPI LP was present on the pony pad for the spill investigation. Morgan Davis, SWEPI LP OSR was present on the main pad. The weather was 37 degrees, sunny, winds WNW 15mph, the previously deposited snow is melting causing the site to the very muddy with standing water.

April Heater, SWEPI LP reported a spill to the DEP's regional office on 3/8/2019 @1500 hours. Onsite personnel were breaking apart the "fastline", which was used to carry frack fluid from the AST on the pony pad to the main pad. Mr. Skolny stated they had run a number of courses of freshwater through the line to clean it out. When the line was dismantled the open end was placed in a tub, on secondary containment, on the NW corner of the pony pad. No fluid came out initially, but when the onsite personnel left to work on another area, fluid was discharged fr
