| 2721859 | Primary Facility | 2018-04-19 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Additional E&S BMP's were added along the access road. When weather permits the access roads should be graded and stabilized. |
| 2742749 | Primary Facility | 2018-06-14 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Onsite for a routine inspection. The well is producing, labeled, and the annulus is plumbed to produce gas. The site is stable with greater than 70% vegetative cover. There is filter sock installed onsite. The access road has been graded. There continues to be ruts in the access road. Further grading should take place to ensure stabilization of the roadway. |
| 2743324 | Primary Facility | 2018-06-19 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Violation(s) Noted | Onsite for a routine inspection. The access road for the lease was inspected. There are multiple spots along the access road that are not permanently stabilized. This is leading to accelerated erosion occurring on the access road. Sedimentation is occurring in a unnamed tributary to Golby Run where the filter sock is undermined. Sedimentation has also occurred on the backside of the filter sock and culvert sumps. This has been an ongoing issue since a December 5, 2017 inspection which resulted in a violation that the operator was able to correct the same day. |
| 2747692 | Primary Facility | 2018-07-02 | Follow-up Inspection | Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd | Onsite for a follow-up inspection. Work has been done to stabilize the access road but is not completed. Culverts and sumps have been cleaned out and lined with rip rap. Further stabilization will be necesary along the access road. |
| 2756775 | Primary Facility | 2018-07-25 | Follow-up Inspection | Recurring Violations | Onsite for a follow-up inspection to the June 19, 2018 Notice of Violation.
