2545731 Primary Facility 2016-12-19 Site Restoration No Violations Noted The Department was on site at the NR#24 Buckhorn well site in response to the submittal of a Notice of Termination to conduct a Restoration Inspection. The E&S Inspection Checklist Site Inspection Log indicated that Seth Tratthen conducted the most recent inspection on 12/7/2016 and that no attention was needed. Rich Gulyas and Seth Tratthen (SWN) were present for the inspection.

The site appears the meet permanent stabilization requirements. There are two timber stockpiles on either side of the access road that require a landowner signoff if they are to remain in place. Upon receipt of the landowner signoff, I recommend that this NOT be approved.

2549634 Primary Facility 2017-01-04 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted At time of inspection, arrived on site at 10:00a.m. The cellar was set up with a plastic corrugated pipe around the well with gravel between the pipe and the perimeter of the cellar. There was water above the surface casing with no bubbling noticed. The (9x5) vent pipe was open and the valve going to the production tank was closed, it was set up with a 1000psi pressure gauge and it had 0psi on it. There was 725psi on the production casing and 403psi on the production line. I took a walk around the location and there were no obvious concerns noticed.

I left the site at 11:10a.m.

2637318 Primary Facility 2017-09-18 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted At time of inspection.

The well was in production. I took a walk around the location and there were no obvious concerns noticed.

2774422 Primary Facility 2018-09-06 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Today's inspection was conducted as a small spill complaint inspection after Mike Deming, SWN Senior Regulatory Analyst contacted the Department on 9/5/18 at approximately 3:05 PM to report that on September 5, SWN Regulatory was notified by SWN Production of an apparent dark stain with associated white crystallization on the Buckhorn pad surface after the ground near the wellhead, where secondary containment was removed, began to dry in the sun. After further visual observations were made by regulatory, it was determined the release was likely greater than five (5) gallons off containment and the Department was immediately notified. It was reported as an area approximately 30’ feet x 30’ feet, and likely caused by a small unnoticed compromise in secondary containment in or near the stained area that allowed some fluids to escape during completions operations.

SWN contracted Woodard & Curran, an environmental consultant to oversee the remediation of this spill. A technician from Woodard and Curran confirm

2807547 Primary Facility 2018-11-28 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted At time of inspection.

The well was in production. The cellar was set up with a plastic corrugated pipe around the well for inspection access. There was water 3' below grade in the cellar and there was no bubbling noticed. There were 23 empty 500bbl tanks on containment from a recent frac of the 2H, 3H and 5H wells, there was snow and ice on the containment making inspection of the containment limited. I took a walk around the location and there were no obvious concerns noticed. There were no violations noted.
