| 208807 | Primary Facility | 1990-01-03 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | E&S OK |
| 2223588 | Primary Facility | 2013-10-09 | Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) | No Violations Noted | ABANDONED WELL LOCATED 100' FROM ROAD. THE WELL IS DISCONNECTED AND SHUT IN. |
| 2368522 | Primary Facility | 2015-04-14 | Follow-up Inspection | No Viols - Permanently Shut Down | Gas well is intact at surface, but may be leaking gas at subsurface into nearby area. On abandoned list, but should be a plugging priority. |
| 2412380 | Primary Facility | 2015-04-14 | Routine/Partial Inspection | No Adverse Event or Action Reported | Little to no gas leaking from wellhead, disconnected from line and shut-in. |
| 2412384 | Primary Facility | 2015-08-24 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Adverse Event or Action Reported | Casinghead w/ 4 1/2" casing, tee, swage, ball valve and plug. Very slight leak of gas at wellhead. Took new GPS reading. |
| 2476952 | Primary Facility | 2016-04-21 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Well unchanged from prior inspection of 8/24/15. Well has remained detached from salesline w/ no noticeable activity for over one year. Nearby 8" ventpipe continues to vent a visible amount of gas. |
| 2511860 | Primary Facility | 2016-07-07 | Routine/Partial Inspection | No Adverse Event or Action Reported | Wellhead is intact, leaking gas slightly. Nearby ventpipe along the road is gassing visibly. |
| 2614904 | Primary Facility | 2017-07-12 | Routine/Partial Inspection | No Violations Noted | Visited site to check vent status near the well. Peoples Gas is installing new 6"(?) plastic gas line along north side of Scrubgrass Road, and may be effecting the vent. Vent is noticeably gassing, as usual. Due to activity in area, I could not inspect any of the wells. |
| 2616079 | Primary Facility | 2017-07-17 | Routine/Partial Inspection | No Violations Noted | Returned to site to check status of new gas line replacement in area by Peoples. They have not replaced the line in the vent area. Vent is still venting gas at its usual rate. I was able to inspect the Nixon 501-4 well while there. Well is intact and unchanged from previous inspections. Well has a very small gas leak from wellhead. |
| 2621349 | Primary Facility | 2017-08-01 | Routine/Partial Inspection | No Violations Noted | Peoples Gas appears to be finished replacing pipeline along Scrubgrass Road. Area around vent was not disturbed, as line may have been replaced several years ago there (?). Vent continues to vent gas at its usual rate, unaffected by line work. |
| 2665985 | Primary Facility | 2017-11-30 | Routine/Partial Inspection | No Violations Noted | Wellhead is intact with no leaks detected by Altair 5X. Met with Scott Twp. representative and sewer representative at nearby vent pipe to discuss stray gas problem and visit other wellsites along Scrubgrass Road. |
| 2705382 | Primary Facility | 2018-03-14 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Well is shut in and unchanged from prior inspections. Nearby vent along Scrubgrass Road continues to vent a steady flow of gas. |
| 2712590 | Primary Facility | 2018-03-30 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Well is shut in and unchanged from prior inspections with no noticeable operator work activity. Gas readings with 62-S meter were zero for wellhead, but varied for surrounding soil tests. ONE TESTHOLE BESIDE WELLHEAD FLOWED A STEADY 80% GAS. Nearby vent along Scrubgrass Road continues to vent a steady flow of gas. 62-S meter readings in soil near vent all indicate stray gas. |
| 2722989 | Primary Facility | 2018-04-05 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site with operator to get pressures, check for leaks and discuss plans for well. Production casing has 80# pressure. Soil gas test readings surrounding well were up to 65% LEL, leveling to~5% LEL. Nearby abandoned salesline had ~45% LEL when first opened, but had no pressure or flow. |
| 2723005 | Primary Facility | 2018-04-10 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site to check for followup work on well by operator after 4/5/18 visit. None noted. |
| 2723010 | Primary Facility | 2018-04-17 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site to check for followup work on well by operator after 4/5/18 visit. None noted. |
| 2724013 | Primary Facility | 2018-04-27 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site to check for followup work on well after 4/17/18 visit. None noted. |
| 2735306 | Primary Facility | 2018-05-08 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site to check for followup work on well after 4/27/18 visit. None noted. |
| 2746037 | Primary Facility | 2018-06-05 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site to check for followup work on well after 5/8/18 visit. None noted. |
| 2750319 | Primary Facility | 2018-06-18 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site to check for followup work on well after 6/5/18 visit. None noted. |
| 2755717 | Primary Facility | 2018-07-16 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site to check for any work on well after 6/18/18 visit. None noted. |
| 2757467 | Primary Facility | 2018-07-25 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site with Echelon to evaluate stray gas in area. Stray soil gas present around wellhead as high as 63% gas using Bascom Turner meter. All soil tests from wellhead to nearby ventpipe along Scrubgrass Road and beyond ventpipe up road indicated significant quantities of gas. |
| 2765680 | Primary Facility | 2018-08-21 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | No work has been done to well by operator. No changes to well. |
| 2782513 | Primary Facility | 2018-10-02 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Met with representative from Peoples Gas to discuss pipelines in area and talk about future stray gas remediation planned.
No work has been done to well by operator. No changes to well or gas flow from nearby vent stack. |
| 2788189 | Primary Facility | 2018-10-12 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Met with Echelon contractor to discuss pipelines in area and talk about emergency stray gas remediation planned for next week, so he could make One Call.
Looked at wellhead location to determine access. No work has been done to well by operator. No changes to well or gas flow from nearby vent stack. |
| 2794022 | Primary Facility | 2018-10-24 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site to determine if Scrubgrass Road ROW (30' from center line) was wide enough to contain proposed remediation work - it is not. Difficulties finding current owner of site to secure signed contractual consent form has delayed remediation work. Also attempting to contact well operator for same. |
| 2805886 | Primary Facility | 2018-11-21 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site to check status of well and vent. Both unchanged from prior inspections. Vent continues to vent a significant volume of gas. No work has been done to well by operator. |
| 2830904 | Primary Facility | 2019-01-09 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Pending | Visited site to check status of abandoned well and nearby vent. No changes to either. Vent still venting a significant volume of gas. No work has been done to well by operator. |
