Inspections Performed

Inspection ID Inspection Date Inspection Type Inspection Result Inspection Comments
0783244578 2009-05-04 Orphan No Violations Checked site from oil spill reported 5/1/09. On 5/1/09 inspectors Tom Benko and Sam Faust responded to an oil spill into a ditch in Wood county, Middleton township, section 26. Oil discharged from a field tile into a ditch along State Route 582. The well, located in a farm field, was found cut off several feet below the ground. An oil stain on the surface of the ground helped locate the well. An open 4 1/2 inch casing was noted cemented inside a 9 inch casing. A 4 inch diameter PVC pipe approximately 8 feet long was cemented inside the open casing to contain the discharge from the well. Oil booms were located in the ditch at the time of the inspection on 5/4/09. There was a slight oil sheen on the water discharging from the tile into the ditch. Spoke to USEPA inspector Brian Kelly by phone. Federal funds from US Coast Guard will be sought to pay for plugging well since drainage from ditch flows to navigable waters.
0958647943 2009-05-18 Orphan No Violations Reviewed aerial photographs at ODNR SWC and US Dept of Agriculture office to try to identify well in farm field. Checked aerial back to 1980 but could not see signs of well in field. Maps are of large scale and a well may be difficult to see on the maps.
1241714092 2009-05-07 Orphan No Violations Checked conditions at well and tile discharge. There does not appear to be a significant increase in the amount of oil in the ditch from inspection on 5/4/09. Absorbent booms are still in place and discharge continues from tile. Spoke to landowner Don Limes by phone and recommended that lime and peat moss be tilled into area around well head where oil is on ground. Farm field appears to have been recently planted.
1242996651 2009-05-01 Production Wells No Violations Contacted by OEPA regarding a release of crude oil into the waterway. Upon investigation a 9 inch casing with 4.5 inch casing was uncovered. And cut off 6 inches below the ground. Oil was present in borehole about 20 to 30 feet below grade. An unregistered producing domestic gas well is located 0.5 mile south shows 150 lb of pressure.
1244140866 2009-06-04 Orphan No Violations Oil booms still in ditch. No signs of new oil discharge from tile.Oil saturated ground in places around well site does not appear any different than previous inspection.

1259173999 2009-11-25 Orphan No Violations Bradner Oil moved on to site and has exvacated around the well casing. A 12 inch steel pipe approximately 6 feet long has been driven into the ground around the well. When operator moved on to site 11/23/09, oil had overflowed from the PVC riser pipe extending from the well casing. Some oil was pooled on the ground around the well. Check of ditch during inspection found no oil discharge into the ditch. The contaminated soil was segregated and covered with plastic. The 12 inch pipe was cemented around the 8 inch conductor pipe on the well for wellhead control, however oil began leaking outside of the 12 vinch pipe. Decision was made to run 40 feet of 4 inch steel pipe with packer at bottom, inside of the 5 5/8 inch surface casing. There is an obstruction in the well approximately 40 feet deep. Check of well logs shows depth to bedrock 30-40 feet in the area.
