| 1277279358 | 2015-10-29 | Production Wells | No Violations | My inspection found the stockpiled material that was removed from the tank battery area was still on the west side of the tank battery area. The material was covered with a plastic liner. The two 55 gallon drums were also still there. The plastic on one of the drums was torn allowing me to see the drum was full of oil and paraffin. If there is a heavy rainfall this drum will start overflowing onto the ground. The material on the ground inside the earthen dike area was still saturated with oil. The oil saturated soil on the ground around the well casing has not been removed. There was no identification posted at the tank battery area. |
| 1287710507 | 2018-02-27 | Production Wells | No Violations | I, along with Supervisor Tom Hill, inspected this well location as part of on-going enforcement proceedings. As such, the following deficiencies had been noted: leakage of oil at the wellhead and battery and lack of complete identifying signage. At the time of this inspection, we noted the following: Fittings and connections at the wellhead were secure. There was older degraded oil and oily peat moss material throughout most of the tank containment area as noted during previous inspections, that remained unaddressed. ID signage was not present. I noted the chart box was not active. The landowner had indicated that he receives domestic gas from the well, but it is not being commercially produced. |

| 1372337257 | 2013-06-24 | Production Wells | No Violations | I was on location in reference to complaint number 4367 and my inspection found the well to be equipped with a pump jack. The stuffing box needs repaired and the contaminated soil needs cleaned from around the wellhead. The tank battery consists of a 100 BBL production tank, a 50 BBL brine tank, and a mechanical separator. The brine tank appears to have over flowed at one time. The saturated area inside the dike needs cleaned up. The dike is in good repair. There is no identification on the tank battery. The lease road is in stable condition. I spoke with Jamie Campbell from Big Sky about the repairs needed. |
| 1415196200 | 2014-11-05 | Production Wells | No Violations | My inspection is for a follow up on complaint number 4367. The black water outside of the dike that was found to be decomposing vegetation has drained off of the location. The tank battery has fresh peat sorb spread around the inside of the dike. I spoke with Bob Barr Jr and was informed that the well tender had made a mistake while draining the water from the production tank to the brine tank. The water inside the dike only showed 100 ppg of chlorides. The contaminated stone is scheduled to be removed from the tank battery and replaced with new by the beginning of next week. He stated he would also have an identification sign placed on the tank battery. I requested he contact either myself or Jerry Kohl when the work is completed. |

| 1615338253 | 2018-10-18 | Production Wells | No Violations | I conducted an inspection regarding complaint #5990 regarding a tank overflow into the tank battery at this location. At the time of this inspection, the well was equipped with a pumping unit and not in production. There was an active domestic line plumbed off the 4.5 inch casing with a regulator and drip bottle. The tank battery was comprised of one 100 BBL tank, one 50 BBL tank and a mechanical separator. The 50 BBL tank was approximately 75% full of water with two to three inches of old oil on top of the water. The top of the tank was sagging and allowing the rainwater to enter through the top of the tank, filling it and overflowing. The side of the 50 BBL tank was stained with oil. The area around the base of the 50 BBL tank was stained with old oil and contained within the dike. The tank battery was diked. No legible identification was located at the well or tank battery. Lease access was stable. I spoke with Charles Moisio, well tender for Big Sky. Mr. Moisio stated that he would be on location on 10/19/18 to remove the existing fluid from the 50 BBL tank. I informed Mr. Moisio that the area of impact inside the battery from the previous release would have to be removed and disposed of properly. I also spoke with landowner William Ellsworth informing him of Big Skys intention to remove the fluid from the 50 BBL tank and remediation of the impacted soil inside the diked battery. |
