Inspections Performed

Inspection ID Inspection Date Inspection Type Inspection Result Inspection Comments
001289i348 2002-04-26 Final Restoration No Violations FINAL RESTORATION
0360647296 2015-03-31 Production Wells Violations Noted 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 are leaking brine and oil. 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 Chiefs 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.
1017599344 2015-02-05 Production Wells No Violations 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.

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 Chiefs Order issued on the well back in 2006. I will refer the well to the I & O program inspector Cindy VanDyke.
1384447026 2017-02-17 Production Wells No Violations I met with Josh Lang the landowner of the property that this well is on. He took me back to do an inspection on this as he has dogs on the property that will keep you from going back to the well and possibly attack. The well is equipped with a pumping unit, a 4 1/2 inch diameter wellhead, 1 1/2 inch diameter production tubing, the 8 5/8 inch diameter surface casing is exposed at the surface, and the well has a tank battery with two (2) 100 barrel steel tanks. The valves on the wellhead are closed at the time of inspection. The tanks at one time were leaking oil down the hill but look to not be leaking any new oil. You can see a dead spot where the oil had leaked and ran at one time. The well is not in production at the time of inspection. This well has previously been referred to the Idle and Orphan program. Updated pictures were taken at the time of inspection and the wellhead has been flagged by pink survey tape.
1427831697 2015-03-31 Orphan No Violations 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 erosional 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 #21
1429571295 2015-04-20 Administrative Inspection No Violations 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.
1432651350 2015-05-22 Plug / Plug Back No Violations I met with the landowner, Josh Long, and contractor Troy Harmon to discuss emptying 2 100 barrel tanks that contain oil and are leaking. It was explained to them that this was considered an emergency since they were leaking oil on the ground and that the well would be plugged later. The landowner also pointed out 2 open pits directly east of the well which needed filled in but had not been pointed out previously. The contractor will draw up a plan on what he thinks will be required to clean-up and reclaim the area and will discuss it with Supervisor Gene Chini.
2054835224 2016-07-27 Administrative Inspection No Violations I had called Josh Long, landowner, yesterday and scheduled an appointment to take the new Health Physicist, Chuck McCracken out to inspect the tanks that are leaking oil on Joshs property. We were to meet today but Josh called this morning cancelling, saying he would not be home. Josh has said we cannot go into his sheep pastures without him as the guard dogs will not let us in. I questioned if we couldnt go out and give it a try and he said no. Over the past 9 months, I have tried to get the clean-up done. I have called numerous times and left messages, getting no response. When I did talk to him, he has said it was still too wet. It has finally dried up enough to get in there but I am still having trouble getting access to the location. I suggested to him today that he write a letter asking for the orphan well clean-up project to be put on hold for a couple years or until he is available to give us access to the property. At this time, I suggest we cancel the project and return the money allocated to do the clean-up last year.
