| My inspection this day with inspectors Morgan Button, Josh Garland, and Pat Shreve.  Our goal was to find the location of the wellbore in the pit and gather other information needed to draw up a plugging plan.  With the aid of a 20' long PVC pipe, we tested the distance to solid rock and located what we believed was the hole.  The pit is 29' x 28' and prolifically bubbling gas.  The previous test of the water showed it was brine and we estimated the well flowing at the rate of 50 gal/min..  We discussed options and came up with a plan to proceed.  See Wynn write-up 11-19-13 on M/drive under Wynn.  I also stopped by the landowner's house but he was not home.

| I  met on location with Chris Corso and Doug Rennicker from WhipStock and DOGRM Inspectors Kip Thompson and Josh Garland to view the site for a plugging estimate. Because the well is producing so much water, they requested that we accurately meter the water output from the pit. I notified our hydrogeologist in Zanesville and he is locating a Weir meter to obtain these measurements.  We discussed plans of where and how to store to fluids from the well and how to best proceed to get the well plugged.  After we supply the water output readings, WhipStock will supply us with a scope of work and an cost estimate.

| I was unable to contact Mr. Wynn by phone. I inspected the well location alone. The inspection revealed that the site has a fence around a 20 foot pool of brine that was bubbling gas at a very steady rate. No casing of any kind  was observed. The weather conditions during the inspection were 20 degrees and partially sunny. The brine pool had no ice in it. The brine pool is clear and appears to be deep. You can see down 6 feet with out seeing a bottom. The brine pool is 3.5 feet below the surface and 20 feet in diameter. Brine is discharging at a rate of approximately 500 gallons a minute. This discharge is flowing directly into Sunfish creek a tributary of the Scioto River. The spill way has a 2 foot wide stream flowing over some sand bags that have been placed at the edge of the pool.  A sample of the brine at the surface of the pool was collected for field analysis with High End Quantabs. The brine measured 9 on the Quantab. Quantab units on the bottle end at 8.2 which is 6075 ppm Cl. The field sample exceeded this. I was able to find  the well card for this well. It is not complete but does have a note on bottom that reads " This old well is reported to have been drilled about 1905-06. When uncovered in 1929 the top of the well was marked by a large circular opening probably 20 ft in diameter from which much water and a little gas was being given off. This well is reported to have a depth of 2200 ft. Well to Trenton Limestone still produces gas and Mineral water." Pictures and a video were taken during the inspection.

| Met Cindy Van Dyke, Pat Shreve, and Josh Garland and escorted them to the wellhead's original location.  After some time spent on looking around the pit the creek and discharge point from the pit into Sunfish Creek, Pat and Josh rigged up 20-feet of small diameter PVC and went around  the pit to probe the bottom of the pit to determine if there was any bottom irregularities that might suggest where the original well casing might be located in the pit.  Found a couple of areas in the middle that were possibilities.  Then Josh and I rigged up a clothes line across the middle of the pit.  Pat brought a fishing pole and reel with a feet-meter gauge to measure the length of fishing line deployed from the reel.  We then attached a pulley to the clothes line, spooled the fishing line through the pulley, and tied a weight to the line. We then moved the line so the pulley was over the middle of the hole.  Then we lowered the weight to sound the bottom where it was suspected the original casing was located.  The deepest depth probed was 17-feet after several attempts moving the probe around the middle of the hole.  We discussed the next step necessary to determine the location of the well in this pit.

| Well is washed out with a hole at surface approximately 30' across. Inspectors and I took a 20' section of PVC pipe and ran down every 2' across the edge and across the middle and determined that there is multiple sections of rock. The PVC pipe would go horizontal from south to north only. An Excavator hoe would need brought in and clean out area. The pond of brine is being fed by an aquifer that feeds about 50 gal per minute. If the water is extracted out, then look for the bore hole for replugging.

| I met with Chris Corso and Doug Rennicker, they are with Whipstock. Whipstock is looking at bedding on plugging this well. Cindy VanDyke was also on site. I tested the water using a high range quantab. The reading was 9 on the range. It was decided that a flow meter would be needed to obtain a accurate reading of the gallons per minute of flow from the well. I will obtain a flow meter and monitor the flow to obtain a reading.

| My inspection today was conducted with Bob Lane of Bob Lane Welding.  Mr. Lane was present to view this well and address the issues of plugging it. Methods of draining the pit as well as locating the well bore and a casing program were discussed.  I provided Mr. Lane with the available information on this well and gave him a log of an adjoining well.  He will study this information and come up with a plan and a rough cost estimate to plug this well.

Inspection Data

INSPECTION ID DATE DESCRIPTION COMMENT VIOLATION ID VIOLATION CODE VIOLATION COMMENT
-1021233958 2013-11-19 My inspection this day with inspectors Morgan Button, Josh Garland, and Pat Shreve. Our goal was to find the location of the wellbore in the pit and gather other information needed to draw up a plugging plan. With the aid of a 20' long PVC pipe, we tested the distance to solid rock and located what we believed was the hole. The pit is 29' x 28' and prolifically bubbling gas. The previous test of the water showed it was brine and we estimated the well flowing at the rate of 50 gal/min.. We discussed options and came up with a plan to proceed. See Wynn write-up 11-19-13 on M/drive under Wynn. I also stopped by the landowner's house but he was not home.
-102153771 2011-06-20 Meet with EPA and OEPA on location to discuss well and any help with funding plug job. Plastic barrel has been suspended by wires into the brine pool. A garden hose is attached and connected to a valve and another hose that is coiled on the ground. Gas meter measured LEL of 26 on gas in hose.
1240326390 2009-01-28 Received a call from John Wynn Re: Orphan well on his property in Pike County, Newton Township. Well is producing gas and brine. Brine is flowing into Sunfish Creek, a tributary of the Scioto River. An appointment to meet Mr. Wynn was set for 2-5-09 at 3:30pm.
1267460032 2010-03-01 Called John Wynn at 11:06am and left message Re: Right of Entry form, Did he receive it and does he have any questions. I offered to pick up the signed form. I left my phone number.
1271098584 2010-04-12 I called Mr. Wynn and left a message regarding the right of entry form I sent him. I left my phone number and asked that he return my call.
1310402291 2011-07-11 Received message from Jackson office of a voice mail left on 7-6-11 by John Wynn. John stated that he will be gone for an indefinite period of time to the Nuclear disaster in Japan. And to please send all mail to his E-mail jdw45661@yahoo.com. Four attempts to E-mail John at the above address using different variations (caps,noncaps) each was sent back to me with message of no such account.
1376054318 2013-08-01 Accompanied idle and orphan supervisor, engineer, hydrologist and county inspector. Assisted with water sampling. Updated group on site history.
1384955832 2013-11-19 Met Cindy Van Dyke, Pat Shreve, and Josh Garland and escorted them to the wellhead's original location. After some time spent on looking around the pit the creek and discharge point from the pit into Sunfish Creek, Pat and Josh rigged up 20-feet of small diameter PVC and went around the pit to probe the bottom of the pit to determine if there was any bottom irregularities that might suggest where the original well casing might be located in the pit. Found a couple of areas in the middle that were possibilities. Then Josh and I rigged up a clothes line across the middle of the pit. Pat brought a fishing pole and reel with a feet-meter gauge to measure the length of fishing line deployed from the reel. We then attached a pulley to the clothes line, spooled the fishing line through the pulley, and tied a weight to the line. We then moved the line so the pulley was over the middle of the hole. Then we lowered the weight to sound the bottom where it was suspected the original casing was located. The deepest depth probed was 17-feet after several attempts moving the probe around the middle of the hole. We discussed the next step necessary to determine the location of the well in this pit.
1384974407 2013-11-19 Well is washed out with a hole at surface approximately 30' across. Inspectors and I took a 20' section of PVC pipe and ran down every 2' across the edge and across the middle and determined that there is multiple sections of rock. The PVC pipe would go horizontal from south to north only. An Excavator hoe would need brought in and clean out area. The pond of brine is being fed by an aquifer that feeds about 50 gal per minute. If the water is extracted out, then look for the bore hole for replugging.
1385576471 2013-11-19 Accompanied Cindy VanDyke, Pat Shreve, and Morgan Button on field inspection at well site. Parameters measured of phenomenon and plugging/remediation options discussed.
1397588760 2014-04-15 I met with Chris Corso and Doug Rennicker, they are with Whipstock. Whipstock is looking at bedding on plugging this well. Cindy VanDyke was also on site. I tested the water using a high range quantab. The reading was 9 on the range. It was decided that a flow meter would be needed to obtain a accurate reading of the gallons per minute of flow from the well. I will obtain a flow meter and monitor the flow to obtain a reading.
1397588868 2014-04-15 Met with Chris Corso of Whipstock Natural Gas Services to discuss plugging operations and brine management of well.
1428440688 2015-04-07 My inspection today was conducted with Bob Lane of Bob Lane Welding. Mr. Lane was present to view this well and address the issues of plugging it. Methods of draining the pit as well as locating the well bore and a casing program were discussed. I provided Mr. Lane with the available information on this well and gave him a log of an adjoining well. He will study this information and come up with a plan and a rough cost estimate to plug this well.
-145127286 2014-04-15 I met on location with Chris Corso and Doug Rennicker from WhipStock and DOGRM Inspectors Kip Thompson and Josh Garland to view the site for a plugging estimate. Because the well is producing so much water, they requested that we accurately meter the water output from the pit. I notified our hydrogeologist in Zanesville and he is locating a Weir meter to obtain these measurements. We discussed plans of where and how to store to fluids from the well and how to best proceed to get the well plugged. After we supply the water output readings, WhipStock will supply us with a scope of work and an cost estimate.
-1502769345 2009-02-05 Received a message from the Jackson office that Mr. Wynn is sick and cannot make our meeting set for 3:30pm.
-1768599340 2012-08-16 Accompanied by Morgan Button MRI 2. Took pictures and video of the brine pool and the brine flow into Sunfish Creek. Tested brine with High End Quantab results were 6 on the strip. 1480 ppm Cl. Stopped by John Wynn's house and left a copy of the Right of Entry form along with my business card. Accompanied by Morgan Button MRI 2.
-1977732555 2009-05-21 I&O inspection With Robert Stonerock. High end Quantab showed 9 on the strip. That is off the chart on the bottle. Flowing brine into Sunfish Creek. This site would be good for a down hole camera. I will schedule one with Tom Tomastik.
-2068527084 2009-02-06 I was unable to contact Mr. Wynn by phone. I inspected the well location alone. The inspection revealed that the site has a fence around a 20 foot pool of brine that was bubbling gas at a very steady rate. No casing of any kind was observed. The weather conditions during the inspection were 20 degrees and partially sunny. The brine pool had no ice in it. The brine pool is clear and appears to be deep. You can see down 6 feet with out seeing a bottom. The brine pool is 3.5 feet below the surface and 20 feet in diameter. Brine is discharging at a rate of approximately 500 gallons a minute. This discharge is flowing directly into Sunfish creek a tributary of the Scioto River. The spill way has a 2 foot wide stream flowing over some sand bags that have been placed at the edge of the pool. A sample of the brine at the surface of the pool was collected for field analysis with High End Quantabs. The brine measured 9 on the Quantab. Quantab units on the bottle end at 8.2 which is 6075 ppm Cl. The field sample exceeded this. I was able to find the well card for this well. It is not complete but does have a note on bottom that reads This old well is reported to have been drilled about 1905-06. When uncovered in 1929 the top of the well was marked by a large circular opening probably 20 ft in diameter from which much water and a little gas was being given off. This well is reported to have a depth of 2200 ft. Well to Trenton Limestone still produces gas and Mineral water. Pictures and a video were taken during the inspection.
-321445157 2015-05-12 Met with Geologist Jake Glascock to review conditions at the phenomenon and discuss possible subsurface fluid movement and plugging methodology.
324507537 2009-05-26 Tom Tomastik requested more pictures of the site.
440542339 2010-02-04 Right of entry form sent to John Wynn in the mail.
-749389542 2011-09-19 Water samples taken and sent to lab. Took photos and video of site. High Range Quantab revealed 5975 ppm cl. Brine pool is bubbling gas and discharging brine into Sunfish Creek.
777390425 2009-06-01 Down hole camera on well pit. Pit is 30 feet in diameter by 5' to 8' feet deep. Was unable to see casing. Filmed multiple zones that are leaking gas and brine. Took water sample at GPS N39.01023 / W083.06423. Photos. Talked to neighbor across the street and he showed me the closest water well to this site. Water well GPS N39.01023 / W 083.06423.
894351818 2010-02-03 Received a return phone call from John Wynn. He has agreed to sign the right of entry form and have the well plugged through the orphan program.
