Inspection Data

INSPECTION ID DATE DESCRIPTION COMMENT VIOLATION ID VIOLATION CODE VIOLATION COMMENT
-1017599344 2015-02-05 I was asked by the landowner, Josh Long, to inspect a well on the back of his property. He stated the well has not been pumped in over 20 years and that the tanks were leaking brine out into his field. Upon inspection I found a dike with two 100bbl tanks. One tank was empty and the other was half full. The bottoms of the tanks were rusted and have been leaking brine. The areas of contamination is 50' by 5' downslope from the tank battery. There is a large scald area on the other side of the tank which appears to have been a pit and the flow lines and separator have been pushed over the side. None of the equipment is hooked up for production. The well is equipped with a pumpjack and is overgrown with vegetaion. There is an old electric box next to the well. The well consists of 8 5/8 casing, 4.5 production, rods and tubing. Inspector Dave Ball had a Chief's Order issued on the well back in 2006. I will refer the well to the I & O program inspector Cindy VanDyke. Compliance Notice

1427831697 2015-03-31 I received a request from Jake Glascock, Morgan County Inspector, to inspect this well and refer it to the Orphan Well Program. I met with landowner, Josh Long, and he lead me back to the well and tanks. I found 2 - 100 barrel tanks. The tanks have a ladder and a small drip but the separator has been removed from the tank battery. These tanks were connected at the bottom and shared a common discharge valve. Fluid can be seen leaking from the base of both tanks, as well as from the discharge valve, which does not appear to close completely. There is an oil saturated area about 2' wide and running 60' downhill. The landowner checked the tanks and stated there was about 35-40 barrels of fluid in the east tank. The tanks are situated on the highest point in the field and the pumping unit is located about 250' south and downhill from the tanks. There is a 35' wide by 120' long erosonial feature to the south and east of the tanks. There is water containing cat tails, ponded in the lower portion of this feature. Further below this pond is another erosional feature which descends 80' south and to within 50' of the well. This inspection found running water and numerous deer tracks in this feature. A sample of this water was collected and tested with a Low Range Quantab, with no response. Due to lack of vegetation found growing around these erosional features, it is assumed that this area may have been exposed to brine spills in the past. The fluid in the tank needs drained and to be disposed of fluids in the very near future, the tanks removed and the contaminated soil removed and replaced with clean soil, smoothing out all the erosion that presently exists. This Clinton well was drilled to a depth of 5563' in 1971 and produced for several years. Pictures taken, SEM is 191. NOTE: There was a problem with using the wrong permit number in the past and this location was originally called #21246. The records for #21248, showing it as a plugged well, will be switched and #21248 is the corrected permit number for this GPS well location.
1429571295 2015-04-20 I talked to the current landowner, Josh Long, this evening and he verified that the remaining well, with the leaking tanks, is on the old Charles Wagner property. He stated that when he bought the Wagner property in 2008 it was covered with trees. When he was clearing them he discovered this well with the pumping unit, hidden in the trees. There was also an old house near the wellsite with a trail/road leading to it (visible on the aerial map). He also stated that he showed the Morgan County Inspector, Jake Glascock, the location of another well he knew of, which was down below the pond and towards the ravine. Mr. Long speculated that this could have been the well they plugged in 2000. GPS was not in use in 2000 so it would have been an assumption that they were plugging #1248 when they were really plugging #1246 or #1296. Mr. Long said he dug a basement when he built their house on the Pennock Brothers property and he did not encounter a plugged well in that area, which is where the available data indicates #1246 should have been drilled.

The area of contamination is 50' by 5' downslope from the tank battery. There is a large scald area on the other side of the tank which appears to have been a pit and the flow lines and separator have been pushed over the side. None of the equipment is hooked up for production. The well is equipped with a pumpjack and is overgrown with vegetation. There is an old electric box next to the well. The well consists of 8 5/8 casing, 4.5 production, rods and tubing. Inspector Dave Ball had a Chief's Order issued on the well back in 2006. I called the phone number listed for the owner of the well and it was no longer in service. The operator must properly remove and restore contaminated areas and plug the well within 180 days.
