| 2040833 | 2012-02-02 | No Violations Noted | First Class Energy was contracted by Penn View (Wayne Brannon ¿ tool pusher). Well sign and E&S plan were located at the access road. No freeboard issues were present at the site. Conductor pipe (13 3/8¿) was set at 42¿ (sanded in place). First Class drilled to 200 ft. and noted high water bearing zones at 80 ft., 120 ft. and 160 feet. High water bearing zones during drilling caused a semi- loss of flow of drilling cuttings and water through the diverter pipe to allow water/drill cuttings to flow on back side of conductor pipe causing a release around the rig. First Class stopped drilling and cemented the backside of the conductor pipe with 5.2 sks of Class A. Plug was down at 4:00 pm on 2/2/12 with no return. First Class was going to allow the 8 hrs. Cement time for set up of cement prior to drilling to 300 ft. to set a water protection casing. April Wieland and March Maestra were on-site and noted the release and other site issues. | |
| 2041103 | 2012-02-02 | Violation(s) Noted | Site visit was due to spud notification.
First Class Energy was actively drilling during inspection. Access road had little to no stone. Mud was being dispersed from the site onto the township road. Pit was poorly constructed. Liner was punctured with metal posts holding safety fence. Liner was not smoothly or evenly distributed throughout the pit. Rig was spewing cuttings and mud onto the ground. Rig hand said they hit a "wet spot." Wade Branan (tool pusher) stated they hit three separate water bearing zones. E&S controls was poorly installed and not maintained. Sediment laiden runoff was making its way past the silt fence. Based on E&S plan cuttings cannot be habdled on site due to the seasonal high ground water table. PA DEP Water Quality Specialist April Weiland was present during inspection. |
