2481413 Primary Facility 2016-01-21 Follow-up Inspection No Violations Noted On 1/21/16, I performed a follow up inspection of the Captain USA well site accompanied by DEP Engineer Emmanuel Nwaobilo in response to previously observed issues with increased erosion and sedimentation and potential undelineated streams. Snow cover in the area of concerned prevented effective inspection of the site.
2483821 Primary Facility 2016-03-05 Follow-up Inspection No Violations Noted On 3/8/16, I performed a follow up inspection with DEP engineer Emmanuel Nwaobilo for the Captain USA site in response to an ongoing issue with site E&S controls and made the following observations:

•Along the access road, where it crosses the last saddle before the pad, E&S controls have been heavily reinforced partially in response to department recommendations. •Inspection of the area below the reinforced controls found multiple streams and waterways not shown in the site plans or in the original streams and wetlands report for the site. Due to this the site is not in compliance with §102.4(b)(4)(ii),(iv), §102.8(b)(2),(3),(5), and (8), §102.4(b)(5)(v) and §102.5(m)(2)(ii). •Many of the stream channels in the area adjacent to the site appear to be undergoing increased erosion and sedimentation.
