0031053836 | 2007-07-30 | Surface Facility Construction | No Violations | An inspection was conducted on 7/30/2007 with Mr. Doug Kitchen and Mr. Ron McBride. During the inspection, it was noted that the dike height along the far end of the constructed dike has not been addressed. This issue was brought to Mr. Kitchens attention. It was also noted that the 30mm liner has not been installed. Mr. Kitchen also states that they would like to build the unloading pad in a different location and utilize different size tanks. He was instructed to reflect these changes on his design and submit this information to Mr. Tom Tomastik. Mr. Kitchen was again informed that this site would require fence placed around the facility, and a plastic tank (vault) will not be allowed. He was instructed to use a concrete vault that is coated. More work will be needed to complete the construction of this facility. |
0040479472 | 2010-03-12 | Enhanced Recovery Project | No Violations | A follow-up inspection to NOV and Compliance Agreement Schedule revealed that the previously noted violations have now been resolved. During the inspection, it was noted that oil exists inside the earthen dike at the storage tank location. Old and fresh oil on surface of water throughout dike. Old pads were observed on one end of the dike and will need replaced. The source of release is from the overflow of storage tank. Oil stains were observed from top of tank to ground surface, in dike, on two separate ends. A plug will be recommended for open PVC drain at the unloading pad to prevent overflow of concrete vault. Note: PVC routed from drain to concrete vault. Remedial Restoration will be recommended for the Spring, due to erosion at well location and along lease road. At 10:48 am, the well owner, Doug Kitchen, was notified on location, by telephone of inspect results and deficiency with non-related well. Mr. Kitchen states Ron McBride will cleanup P&C this weekend; agreed that Remedial Restoration work needed and will apply seed. He was instructed to perform work when the weather drys, but before June. Mr. Kitchen agreed that a plug for PVC drain is a good idea. |

The complainant observed normal lease road condition the morning of the 3rd, but later that evening would see a noticeable change. The complainant states that Mr. Kitchen had been hauling fluid from drilling location of Permit No. 3595. An inspection revealed that the entire lease road measuring approx 1000 x 10 contained brine and pockets of oil. The road surface was silted/smooth resembling a ground surface after applicaion of fluid. A change in the road condition began at entrance, into ERP, just past the gate. A puddle measuring approx 5 in width reached maximum units on Low Range Quantabs. At the ERP location, fresh oil was observed throughout the inside of earthen dike. The source is from 200 bbl horizontal tank, which has overflowed. The tank was wet at top on both ends. At Permit No. 3595 location, spoke with Mr. Jim Kilbarger, Logan Gas (partnership), and Dave Barry with Petroleum Development Corp., regarding fluid hauled from Permit No. 3595. Both individuals confirmed Chieftain Energy hauled fluid from this location. Mr. Kilbarger states approx 6 loads were hauled from the blow pit. He further stated that Mr. Kitchens water truck broke down on Sunday, 9/5/10. Left message for Mr. Kitchen on cell phone at 11:45 stating to return call as soon as possible. Mr. Kitchen returned call at 3:29 p.m. and stated so whats this I hear about a problem with me putting water on my lease road for dust control?
