Two wells, the 73H and 94H, have been drilled and are in production; drilling of the wells was completed in November 2014. The well site has not been restored and the pad remains at full size (approximately 310 feet x 610 feet). Interim restoration of the well site should be completed as per 25 Pa Code Section 78a.65(a)(1).

On 2/29/16, Seneca submitted a Well Site Assessment Summary to the Department. The Summary milestones for Pad K included development of a reclamation plan and submittal of Well Site Restoration Reports (WSRRs) in 2016. To date, neither a reclamation plan or WSRRs have been received by the Department. If Seneca does not intend to conduct interim restoration of the Pad K site at this time, then a restoration extension request should be submitted to the Department as per 25 Pa C

2641386 Primary Facility 2017-09-28 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted On 9/27/17 at 1302 hrs I conducted an inspection of the DCNR 007 Pad K/Matson and Oak Ridge Trail Upgrade and pipeline project. It was mostly sunny and 84 degrees F. No one was present during the inspection.

Two wells, the 73H and 94H, have been drilled and are in production; drilling of the wells was completed in November 2014. The well site has not been restored. Seneca recently made the Department aware that they plan to make a return trip in December 2017.

Three production tanks and a smaller gray tank were staged in containment. A minimal amount of water was in the containment; field measured specific conductance was 1,166 micro Siemens/cm.

I addition to the well site, I observed the pipeline and interconnect station. As noted in the last inspection some silt sock is beginning to degrade and split open; the degraded silt sock should be removed. The pipeline right-of-way (ROW) has been reclaimed and is permanently stabilized.

It appears that routine E&S inspections are being conducted separately fo

2706010 Primary Facility 2018-03-15 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The department of environmental protection conducted a routine inspection of the Seneca DCNR 007 pad K located in Delmar Twp, Tioga Co. on 3/15/2018 @1300 hours. The weather was 33° and overcast with light snow

Two wells, the 73H and 94H, have been drilled and are in production; drilling of the wells was completed in November 2014. The well site has not been restored. Three new well permits were issued 3/13/2018; 117-21971 (123HU), 117-21972 (124HU), 117-21973 (125HU).

Frozen water was observed in the secondary containment surrounding the production tanks. Snow remains covering most of the well pad. The site was last inspected by company personnel on March 12, 2018 as noted in the on-site inspection log.

No issues were observed during the inspection. No violations were noted at this time. I departed this site at 1400 hrs.

2742604 Primary Facility 2018-06-18 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The DEP conducted a ROUTINE inspection of the Seneca Resources – DCNR 007 Pad K wells site located in Delmar Twp., Tioga Co. on 6/18/2018 @1300 hours. The weather was 87 degrees, 64% humidity, winds W 11mph. Rain showers in the area. Gus Trejo, GT Drilling Consultants was present for the inspection.

Seneca is in the process of drilling 6 utica wells with the Patterson 339 rig. At the time of the inspection Haliburton was cementing the intermediate casing on the 123HU well. Mr. Trejo stated the rig will resume drilling of the production string tomorrow. A hose discharging “flop water” into a WM container broke free and spilled what appeared to be ~10-15 gallons of mud/water mix onto the rig mats on containment. The spill was immediately vacuumed up and the area appeared remediated before I departed the site.

No puddles were observed on the pad surface. The E&S controls appeared dry. No fluid was observed in secondary containment. The chemical storage area was observed in the NW corner of containment. Mr. Tr

2750174 Primary Facility 2018-07-10 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted Drilling the 123 HU well at time of inspection.
2752397 Primary Facility 2018-07-16 Routine/Partial/Aerial Inspection No Violations Noted The DEP conducted a PARTIAL inspection of the Seneca Resources-DCNR 007 Pad K located in Delmar Twp, Tioga Co. on 7/16/2018 @1400 hours. The weather was 83 degrees, sunny, humidity 78%.

A Well site Restoration Extension Request(WSRER)was submitted on 6/26/2018. The filing requests a 24 month extension. The attached restoration plan shows a reduced pad size and the rain garden #7 infiltration basin. As of today's inspection, the pad size was observed at full size. The site is stabilized. Rain garden #7 was observed off the N side of the pad.

The onsite restoration drawings do not match the restoration drawings submitted with the WSRER. Please ensure only the most up-to-date plan drawings are located in the mailbox.

The WSRER is accepted at this time. I departed the site at 1445 hours.

2772493 Primary Facility 2018-08-28 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The DEP conducted a routine inspection of the DCNR 007 Pad K in Delmar Twp, Tioga County on 8/28/2018 at 1345 hours. The weather was clear, 74% humidity and 87 degrees.

Ellie Niles, DEP Water Quality Specialist, was onsite with me at the time of the inspection. The Patterson Rig#339 is currently onsite in the process of drilling the third of the six total wells. We spoke with Company man, Kevin Bradford, on the noted issues. We mentioned the torn containment in the chemical storage area, and the damp soil and puddles beneath the drill cuttings waste containers on the eastern side of the pad. He said the issues would be taken care of right away.

The following violations were cited against the ESCGP# ESX121170034(1): The waste containers on the eastern side of the pad not managed within secondary containment are considered in violation of Pa Code 25 Section 78a 64a(b)- All regulated substances including solid wastes must be managed within secondary containment on the well site and is cited at this time.

2779727 Primary Facility 2018-09-18 Follow-up Inspection No Violations Noted The DEP conducted a Follow-Up Inspection at the Seneca Resources - DCNR 007 Pad K located in Delmar Twp, Tioga Co. on 9/18/2018 @ 1330 hours. The weather was 74 degrees and sunny. Winds SW 6 mph humidity 65%.

Seneca is nearing completion of drilling of the 125 HU Utica well. Seneca only plans to drill 4 out of the 6 permitted wells while onsite.

During the previous inspection dated 8/28/2018, IR#2768464, waste containers holding drill cuttings were observed on the SE corner of the pad without secondary containment. Cuttings/fluid were observed dripping onto the pad surface. Puddles beneath the containers exhibited elevated field measured conductivity. Violations of the CSL 402(b), 25 Pa Code 78a.64a(b), and SWMA 301 were cited. As of today's inspection, all waste containers located on the SE corner of the pad are staged on secondary containment. All puddles, in the vicinity of the containers, exhibited conductivity <1000 uS/cm.

These violations are considered CORRECTED against the ESCGP at this time. We

2803663 Primary Facility 2018-11-14 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The DEP conducted a routine inspection of the Seneca Resources DCNR 007 Pad K in Delmar TWP, Tioga County on 11/14/2018 at 1200 hours. Ellie Niles, DEP WQS, accompanied me for the inspection.

Adam Pierce was onsite an accompanied us around the site. He confirmed that only 4 wells were drilled, that the current frac was on the 125HU and that the wireline services were working on the 124HU. They started the frac on 11/11/18. They are bringing water from impoundment #1 through the above ground waterline for use on the frac. "Select" is the company monitoring water transfer.

We found a couple puddles in front of the frac tank containment on the east side of the pad with elevated conductivities. (Photos #4 & #5) This area is where trucks have been offloading fluid from the frac tanks. Adam Pierce had the onsite vac truck driver suck up the fluids as soon as possible. The areas after remediation are seen in photos #8 & #9.

Due to the conditions observed onsite during the course of the inspection, a violation o

2822444 Primary Facility 2019-01-04 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The DEP conducted a routine inspection of Seneca Resource's DCNR 007 Pad K in Delmar Twp, Tioga County on 1/4/2019 at 1000 hours. I spoke with company man Andy and Guy Williams. Both of them accompanied me around the site.

Keane was currently working on the last stage of the 116HU frac. No more fresh water is being ran through the above ground waterline from the impoundment. After the frac is done (today) they will rig down and bring in another rig to drill out the plugs which plans on coming this Tuesday. The frac is moving to the DCNR 100M in Trout Run after this.

Site conditions looked overall good. A couple of the chemical storage secondary containments were packed down due to being driven over (see photo #2).It was mentioned that the equipment will be moved shortly due to rigging down and containment will be removed. Most fluids onsite were frozen. The area in front of the frac tank containment (was a mess last visit) is now straightened up and has containment laid down(see photo #3).
