2108339 2012-10-10 Violation(s) Noted UPDATE: 11/29/12 & 12/3/12-
 Onsite meeting with Jason Wells Wilmoth, Parker Surveying Reps, WQSS Ed Ritzer, Environmental Trainee Samantha Foulk and myself. meeting was devised by operator upon departments request (10/10/12 INSPT) to determine minimum depth of seasonal high ground water table. After digging a test pit adjacent to drill pit, Parker Surveying determined seasonal high ground water table was at approximately 2.35ft from ground surface.  While onsite operator agreed to dispose of all pit contents at  approved facilities according to regulations and provide the department with manifests of final disposition. 

Based on today's findings and documentation provided to the department from Parker Surveying--previously pending inspection is now violatoins. As operator failed to construct onsite drill pit at a minimum of 20in above SHGWT.

2116259 2012-11-08 Violation(s) Noted At the time of this inspection, well site ID sign, ES plan, disposal plan and drilling permit present. Rig Skid since last inspection. Well drilled and fraced.ite has not yet been temporarily stabilized as a result violations will be issued for operators failure to properly temporarily stabilize well site after 4 days of cessation activity. Hence well site was not properly stabilized with an acceptable bmp and/or seed/mulch accelerated erosion occurred along access road and entrance to well site observed. Department noted that rock outlet has been washed out by recent heavy rains. It appears operator installed several sections of filter fence down gradient from well pad in order to help minimize the potential for accelerated sedimentation. In addition to filter fence, operator installed a drainage dike from the left side of the site thru the access road and down to the lower right side of access road, which appears to have increased the accelerated erosion concerns To date, operator has not yet provided evidence on depth of SHGWT.

2118510 2012-11-21 No Violations Noted
2121890 2012-11-27 No Violations Noted At time of inspection, well in production. Site ID sign, E&S plan, permit on-site. Brine tank appeared sound.

Violations issued on 11/08/12 regarding temporary stabilization were addressed. Site temporarily stabilized with seed, mulch. No vegetative growth noted. Access road adequately rocked and unlined ditch removed. Operator installed culvert at pad entrance. One lined, below-grade pit containing frac sand, drill cuttings, and water, with over two feet freeboard. Department awaiting SHGWT depth results as requested on 10/10/12 inspection, still "pending". Meeting scheduled with Parker Surveying and Operator on 11/29/12. Department recommends Operator does not encapsulate pit until SHGWT is determined. No E&S issues observed in relation to well pad or access road at the time of this inspection. Department recommends Operator continues to monitor and maintain site and access road as necessary until final permanent restoration is achieved.

2128907 2013-01-08 Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd Well site ID sign, Es plan, and permit onsite. Well is drilled, equipped and in production (Rig Skid to 1A, previous well 1 plugged, with errected monument.) Brine tank appears sound.Access road and site snow covered; therefore, unable to determine stabilization condition and/or if any accelerated erosion or sedimentation concerns existed. It appears that operator has several bmp's installed, again due to snow coverage department is unable to adequately asses their condition and functioning ability. epartment is strongly recommending that operator continue to closely monitor and maintain site until final permanent restoration is achieved. One below grade, lined pit remains on site with contents

( frozen liquid fraction and cuttings). As previously noted, department is requesting that upon final disposition that the operator submit disposal records for pit and contents, i.e. manifests. Outstanding violations exist, but no new violations noted
