The Department was on site at the WR 73 Webster Well Site located at 2967 Hawk Road Hallstead, PA to conduct a Routine Partial Inspection.

On site I spoke with Martin Barhite (Barhite Excavating) who explained that they were adding dirt to the top of an area off of t

2556433 Primary Facility 2017-01-27 Incident- Response to Accident or Event No Violations Noted I traveled to the WR 73- Webster Well Site in response to a complaint of mud being tracked from the SWN Webster access road onto Hawk Road. At the time of my arrival, Jon Sass (DEP-EPS) and I walked along Hawk Road and found that sediment was leaving the well site and flowing down the roadside ditch heading east in said roadside ditch along Hawk Road. Mr. Sassi found that a cross culvert on Hawk Road was carrying the sediment from the north side of the road out to the southern side of the road and depositing it in a stream channel. It appears that the stream channel is the headwaters of DuBois Creek (CWF, MF). The roadside ditch was nearly full of sediment east of the well site. Any water moving through the ditch in this area was heavily sediment laden. I found that the roadside ditch west of the well site was running clear and nearly sediment free aside from the 2’-3’ from the access road where it appeared that some sediment found its way into the ditch.

The access road was in poor condition during

2561725 Primary Facility 2017-01-31 Follow-up Inspection No Violations Noted The Department was on site to meet with Seth Tratthen and Steve Moyer (SWN) to follow up on the Department’s Notice of Violation dated 1/27/2017. At the time of my arrival, I walked along the access road. The site was snow covered and it was currently snowing during the inspection. I moved some small areas of snow aside to view the status of the access road after SWN reported to have repaired it. I noted that the stone on the surface of the access road does not appear to be the proper size as denoted in the Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Program Manual.

Mr. Moyer explained that they were advised to “choke” the access road by placing smaller sized material in an effort to solidify the road. We then walked to the base of the access road and viewed the Hawk Road Roadside ditch, which although snow covered, was found to have been reworked and the stone that they used was visible through the snow cover. The culvert inlet downslope was found to have clear water running through it. The outlet also

2569562 Primary Facility 2017-02-08 Incident- Response to Accident or Event No Violations Noted The Department (Jon Sassi and I) arrived on site to conduct an Incident Inspection in response to Mr. Demming's report. At the time of the inspection Consolidated Well Services was drilling out frac plugs. We met with Justin Johnson (Construction Supervisor-John Miller) at the time of the inspection. Mike Demming later arrived on site and both gentlemen joined us during our inspection. We walked along the access road and moved stone around in areas that appeared to have residual sheen. We followed the residual sheen upslope to an area on the access road that appeared to be the point of impact. Mr. Demming field screened the areas and got readings between 0.7-112 PPM on his PID. Ed Blystone (Well Site Supervisor) met with us during the screening.

We then walked down the access road where Mr. Demming explained that an approximate 1 quart of diesel fuel was recovered by the vac truck at the Hawk Road roadside ditch. They also removed stone and some material beneath the stone. When we inspected the area,

2572209 Primary Facility 2017-03-09 Follow-up Inspection No Violations Noted We met with Mike Deming (Senior Regulatory Analyst-SWN) and Adam Brace (Production Foreman-SWN) during this inspection. During the inspection, the Department was approached by a complainant who voiced their issues concerning the condition of Hawk Road. They explained that the increased truck traffic due to activity at the well site has pushed material into the roadside ditch (because the trucks are driving at the edge of the roadway)causing sediment laden water to enter the stream.

They requested that the Department have SWN repair Hawk Road and install catchment basins at the culvert outlets along the roadway. The complainant explained that when Alta was operating the site, that a similar complaint was made due to sediment entering a pond in the vicinity. They showed us an area where they said rock was added to the roadside ditch in response to that issue.

2669140 Primary Facility 2017-12-08 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted I performed a routine complete inspection of the Webster well pad on December 8, 2017. The pad was stable, as well as the access road. The cut and fill slopes had vegetation where it was able to grow, but it was fairly sparse due to the very rocky nature of the soil. The wells onsite were labeled. The 115-22103 well is permitted for this site yet not drilled. The containment on site was not full and there did not appear to be any erosional problems at the time of inspection.

There were no violations noted.
