0000008002 Final Restoration No Violations PASSED Y WITNESSED 5/16/96 INSPECTOR DAN GOINS DATE 05/1619/96 DATA FROM OLD VAX INFO
0007605853 2018-06-04 Production Wells No Violations My inspection revealed the status of the well remains unchanged from my last inspection on 12.4.2017. The well was in violation of 1509 12(B), well shall be plugged. The well consists of a pumping unit and 1-100 barrel tank. I texted well owner Mr. Doug Kitchen at 10:39 AM, he responded with the well will be plugged on or before 7.30.2018.
0167115689 2012-07-17 Production Wells No Violations Accompanied Kyle Tharp, Jon Scott, Andy Thomas, Mike Williams, and Jake Glascock on soil sampling at well site.
0277625396 2012-06-28 Production Wells No Violations Accompanied Andy Thomas MRI 2 on well inspection.
0353598517 2018-09-28 Final Restoration No Violations I conducted a restoration status check on the well location. I observed two tanks, electric line, and a wellhead at the well location. The well location has not been graded or restored. I contacted Doug Kitchen at 11:14 AM and discussed his plans on when the restoration will be completed. Mr. Kitchen said he is planning on working on it next week and hopes to have it finished. Time of inspection: 10:00 AM.
0374405175 2012-07-16 Production Wells No Violations Checked status of site. No activity at the time of inspection. Accompanied by Steve Riley.
0413106430 2012-06-28 Production Wells No Violations FOLLOW UP TO NOV # -562326343 Inspection was conducted with Jon Scott South region inspector 3. The first thing that was noticed was contamination in the tank battery dike. Contamination had also escaped the dike and ran down the hill. A scald area 16 feet by 15 feet was observed. There was also a black plastic line that ran from the bottom of the tank over to the well head. It was not connected to anything and a scald area (8 feet by 25 feet) was observed at the end of it. Evidence of contamination was then observed at the well head. Well head was corroded as well as scald areas around the well head. There were two metal plates connected to pieces of casing that were driven vertically in the ground close to the well head. Down the hill, close to the creek was another large scald area that when tested for chlorides with Quantab titrators, completely maxed the Quantab out (greater than 6000 ppm chlorides). The water in creek was also tested with Quantabs in several different places. Chlorides were detected there as well. There is no identification at the well head or the tank battery. All contamination needs to be removed and hauled away from site. New soil needs to be placed in those areas. Identification needs to be placed on the well head and/or the tank. Spoke with Doug Kitchen, Bill Wray, Bill Deible, and Dale Campbell in person about this and gave specific instructions to them about the remediation of the site.
0434954866 2012-07-10 Production Wells No Violations Witnessed Doug Kitchen excavate the well head and expose the 2 steel manifold piping. 2 lines were plumbed to by-pass the separator and flow to the annulus. Took pictures. Doug damaged a 2 gas line and had to shut the valve on Chesapeakes gathering line. Soil samples were taken with Andy Thomas MRI 2. Chieftain hauled one load of contaminated soil to landfill.
0436401236 2012-07-17 Production Wells No Violations Investigation of the contamination on this well site continues. Kyle Tharp, Jake Glascock, Mike Williams, Josh Garland, and Jon Scott were all present. Kyle Tharp ran the EM-31 electrical resistivity meter, Josh Garland, Mike Williams assisted me in taking soil samples, Jon Scott and Jake Glascock assisted Kyle. Nine soil samples were taken, and Kyle generated data with his instrument. Doug Kitchen was also on site witnessing activities and taking pictures with his cell phone.
