Current operator, Chevron is actively "removing" a drill pit previously encapsulated by former well owners. Chevron chose to remove previously encapsulated pit offsite prior drilling additional wells on this location. At the time of this inspection, it appears that site and previsously distrubed areas have been stablized, aside from pit, no accelerated erosion or sedimentation issues noted. ES plan implemented and maintained. Reccomended that operator placed excavated pit materials on/in containment structure while awaiting to be loaded into trucks for disposal. 2nd dept also reccomended that operator ensures trucks are cleaned prior to returning with clean fill for reclamation in order to prevent a possible cross contamination pollution event No violations noted at this time.

2076225	2012-06-13	No Violations Noted	At the time of this inspection, well site Id sign, ES plan ,and PPC plan present. Access road entrance and roadway stable. Site gated and guarded by 24hr security.It appears that site and previously disturbed areas have been stabilized no accelerated erosion or sedimentation issues noted. Bmp's implemented and maintained. Chevron removed a drill pit previously encapsulated by former well owners. Chevron chose to dispose of previously encapsulated pit offsite prior to drilling additional wells on this location. Pit contents and liner have been removed offsite, operator agreed to supply department with manifests for all materials removed from pit (including liner)--operator unable to account for liquid removal prior to encapsulation as it was handled by previous owner. Operator also has plans to file an Amended Restoration Report to indicate that the previously encapsulated pit has been removed off site. Based on current observation, dept concurred w/ opr proceeding w/ plans to backfill pit, it visibly appears contimanted soils/materials removed
2078166	2012-06-20	No Violations Noted	Inspection result of operators notification that previously encapsulated pit has been successfully removed and backfilled. During today's inspection, department noted that area of previously encapsulated pit had been back filled with clean fill material, but due to recent heavy rains it appears that soil has "settled." Due soft nature of the fill it was recommended that operator add additional fill prior to rocking area to ensure that material is properly compacted and stabilized as operator has plans to drill another well on location and drill rig may be placed over area recently back filled. Again, department is currently awaiting final response from operator including disposal records, amended restoration report, as well as written report on activities undertaken for removal of previously encapsulated drill pit.
