0201497261 2013-08-26 Orphan No Violations Performed a site inspection to evaluate for leaks from the orphan well previously identified here. I did not observe any signs of leakage of oil or other fluids. I detected an ocassional gas odor in downwind areas, but nothing was detected on the gas meter.
0205928436 2015-05-07 Plug / Plug Back No Violations Cutter crew on location to remove the mats and steel plates. Contacted Rick Ditch yesterday and asked him to meet me on site at 10:30AM to show him the vault and explain the reclaim process. 
 Rick Ditch on location.  He is very well pleased with progress and condition of site.  Metro Parks will seed/mulch and plant trees tomorrow.  They do not want the vent stack from the vault painted.
0504010338 2015-04-10 Orphan No Violations 
This follow up inspection was conducted on 04-10-15 to check status of drill out grout to 120 then additional 130 get of the original surface plug. Will then run a tempature log to determine where the natural gas is coming into the well bore.
0514379966 2015-05-08 Final Restoration No Violations Contractor brought area back to original grade. All equipment has been removed. Metro Parks completed the seeding and mulching and will plant trees that were provided by DOGRM. Metro Parks accepts location as is.
0572775044 2015-04-21 Plug / Plug Back No Violations Well is still gassing ever so little. The decision to cut well head off, place temporary monument on top and vault and vent well head was approved by Mgr. Chini. The rig crew began rigging down service rig, BullDawg Trucking on site to remove all tanks, cut off wellhead, remove tubing, and remove 32 of the matting boards from location. The vault for the well has been ordered and is due to be ready for installation in early May.
0746292612 2015-12-02 Orphan No Violations I inspected this well location as a follow-up to plugging and abandonment which occurred under the auspices of the Idle & Orphan Well Program (Orphan Case #2014 07 009) in 4/2015. At the time of this inspection, the vent stack and vault access lid are secure. The access path has undergone intial restoration consisting of tree-planting. The impacted grass along the parkway has been re-seeded.
0861639743 2015-03-23 Plug / Plug Back No Violations I inspected this well location as part of on-going plugging which has been initiated under Orphan Well program contract. At the time of my inspection, the plugging contractor (Hagen Well Service) has established the work area which includes containment sheeting and diked berm around the work zone. The well casing has been exposed to an approximate depth of 6 feet below grade and a 60-diameter corrugated steel culvert has been placed around the exposed casing to create a cellar feature. A temporary field-constructed closure swage has been implemented at the open well casing to mitigate fugitive vapors. Work is on-going to site circulation tanks and other equipment prior to commencement of drill-out and plugging operations.
1134491598 2015-04-15 Plug / Plug Back No Violations This well is undergoing plugging and abandonment. Leaking had been discovered from a previous plug. The earlier plug is now being drilled out and another plug will be attempted. The fluid control berms are secure and the access road to the well has been secured with timber-style rig matting. Work is progressing and work is being supervised by Inspector Rick Kepler.

1279854026 2014-07-31 Orphan No Violations Cleveland Metro parks crews return to site to erect a temporary vent stack using 12-inch PVC with field-drilled 0.5 inch vent holes and cap. Crews excavated 2 to 3 feet below grade in an attempt to locate any other casing not previously seen. No other casing besides the 5-inch which was exposed previously. Crews place the vent in the hole, concentric to the exposed 5-inch and secure and bury. Following installation, the top of vent is approximately 6 feet above grade. Gas is observed to be venting form the vent holes. LEL levels were observed to drop to undetectable levels within 2 to 3 feet from the vent. Once completed, crews leave. No other activities performed at this time.

1406809864 2014-07-31 Orphan No Violations I met with Norburt Lowder (ODNR) and Rick Ditch (Cleveland Metro parks Manager) to assess the current condition of the well and evaluate for placement of a temporary vent stack. Crews from the metro park maintenance staff have excavated a small area around the well. They will return this afternoon to complete a shallow excavation zone around the well to 4 feet below grade and place a nominal 6 vent stack at the well.
1415043858 2015-01-14 Orphan No Violations I met with Norbert Lowder and Gene Chini from ODNR-Orphan Well Program, along with John Kilgore and Rick Ditch from the Cleveland Metroparks to discuss planning associated with proposed plugging and abandonment of the well through the orphan well program. Issues discussed included access to the well location and logistical planning to limit site impact from equipment as well as schedule. Plugging and abandonment is tentatively proposed for February 2015. Cuurently, the well is passively vented with a field-constructed 6 PVC riser.
1423241916 2014-07-31 Orphan No Violations 
 This follow up inspection was conducted on 07-22-14 with Inspector Steve Tompkins to oversee the venting of this old well by the park service. The following work was completed:

* Excavated and exposed the well casing and obtained updated photos. * Fabricated a larger temporary PVC vent over the well casing that extended approximately 6 to 8 above ground level to vent the natural gas.

1424206663 2015-02-13 Orphan No Violations I inspected this well at the request of the Orphan Well Program, specifically to collect additional photographic documentation to augment the existing observations and data. At the time of this inspection, the well is passively venting via a temporary PVC vent stack at the well location. The vent stack was put in place by Cleveland Metroparks maintenance crews and remains in-place and is stable.
1426275352 2015-03-12 Orphan No Violations I insepcted the location of the well as part of on-going activities to prepare for plugging and abandonment. Areas around the well as well as ingress/egress pathways are being cleared by Cleveland Metro Parks maintenance crews. Currently, the activity consists of removal of small brush and several trees near the well. Most of this has been completed except for a couple of treee near the well. At the time of this inspection, the ground surface is saturated with snow melt and is very soft. I talked to Rick Ditch with the Metro Parks, and he indicated that the clearing work is projected to be completed within the next couple of days.

1427377235 2015-03-26 Plug / Plug Back No Violations

- 466.40 feet. Water truck took more water from flow back/circulating tank. Unloaded more brine into the 500 Bbl. tank for emergency kill water. Plan on running in in the morning, after circulating bottoms up again, without pumping while running first 6 joints then circulating well and continue to run without pumping, conditions permitting. (Site visit from Jim Augustyn, U.S. EPA, all seemingly is well.)

1427465265 2015-03-27 Plug / Plug Back No Violations Rig is running additional 14 joints of 2 3/8 EUE tubing to a depth of 903.75 feet, with no evident blockages. Timco hooked up pump and is circulating hole. Resumed running tubing, hit a blockage at +/-1242.05 feet. Timco hooking up pump and swivel. Drilling continued with mixed returns of small amounts of wood, rock, and some miniscule metal shavings. Eventually, returns were virtually nil, and only 8 feet of hole was made. Total footage is now +/- 1250 feet.
1427816763 2015-03-31 Plug / Plug Back No Violations Crew and Timco Well services arrive location. Well had no pressure this morning. Begin running 10 2 3/8 drill collars, with mill on bottom, and 2 3/8 EUE tubing. After repairing the controls for the power swivel, we are able to commence drilling/cleanout. Following 2 hours of drilling with very little progress, decision was made to curtail drilling, circulate hole and pull tubing and collars out. Ran log on hole and discovered there is only 98 feet of pipe in hole. Ran caliper to confirm, and showed same results. Log TD of hole is 1253 feet.

1447815901 2015-04-08 Plug / Plug Back No Violations Inspector and rig crew on location. Well had +/- 2 PSI. Upon removing swage from well head we discovered that apparently gas had created a channel up through the grout. The area surrounding the channel appeared to have set up. Contacted Mgr. Chin and forwarded pictures and videos of the well. Arrangements are being made to drill out the grout to a depth of 250 feet. Following a meeting with inspectors, Orphan Mgr. Chini and Steve Hagen, it was decided that we will drill out to 250 feet, then squeeze, through tubing, to attempt to seal off gas leaking.
