Inspection Data

Inspections Performed

Inspection ID	Inspection Category	Inspection Date	Inspection Type	Inspection Result	Inspection Comments
2418682	Primary Facility	2015-10-23	Drilling/Alteration	No Violations Noted	Butch’s Rat Hole Service auger rig
2424464	Primary Facility	2015-10-26	Routine/Complete Inspection	No Violations Noted	On 10/26/15, I performed a routine complete inspection of the Fowler pad in response to an operator request for a preoperation inspection and made the following observations:
2425049	Primary Facility	2015-10-29	Preoperation Inspection	No Violations Noted	On 10/29/15, I performed a preoperation inspection for the Fowler site in response to a request from the operator and made the following observations:
2426959	Primary Facility	2015-11-20	Drilling/Alteration	No Violations Noted	Falcon Drilling Rig #23
2431522	Primary Facility	2015-12-07	Drilling/Alteration	No Violations Noted	Falcon Drilling Rig #23
2435592	Primary Facility	2015-12-22	Routine/Partial Inspection	No Violations Noted	On Tuesday December 22nd, 2015, I conducted a routine/partial inspection of the Fowler Well Site located in North Bethlehem Township, Washington County with John Parry (DEP) following an operator requested site meeting concerning potential modifications to the current permit. The following observations were made:
2440786	Primary Facility	2015-12-31	Follow-up Inspection	No Violations Noted	On 12/31/15, WQS Supervisor John Carson, Environmental Trainee John Parry, and I performed a follow up inspection at the Fowler Well Site in response to questions raised by the operator in regards to a 12/22/15 violation at the same site and made the following observations:
2443279	Primary Facility	2016-01-22	Drilling/Alteration	No Violations Noted	Patterson-UTI Drilling Rig #349 Moved onto this well on 1/22/2016. Currently nippling up and testing BOP’s.
2446546	Primary Facility	2016-02-02	Drilling/Alteration	No Violations Noted	Patterson-UTI Drilling Rig #349 KOP was at 7196 ft. EOB on the curve was at 8229 ft. MD (7554 ft. TVD). TD was at 15,898 ft. MD (7527 ft. TVD) on 1/25/16. The 5 ½” casing was set at 15,890 ft. and cemented to surface with 10 bbls returned.
2473589	Primary Facility	2016-03-31	Administrative/File Review	In Compliance with Policy	An equipment malfunction caused some production water to be released onto containment. The containment had previously been vacuumed on March 30, 2016 due to recent heavy precipitation. The remaining rain water mixed with the production water within containment. On March 31, 2016, some heavy equipment inadvertently ran over the berm of the containment, thereby damaging it and releasing the estimated five gallon mixture of rain water and production water from containment and onto the pad. Their incident response team was notified and responded by vacuuming up the fluids and removing the impacted material for disposal. It was later estimated that three to four gallons of the mixed fluid had been released. No impact to water had occurred. The incident was promptly reported to the Department and the area remediated. The incident has been determined to be In Compliance with Policy (ICP). No violations are being cited at this time.
2530325	Primary Facility	2016-10-13	Incident- Response to Accident or Event	In Compliance with Policy	Incident response conducted in response to operator notification of a release.
2536498	Primary Facility	2016-03-08	Compliance Evaluation	No Violations Noted	On 3/8/16, I performed a follow up inspection at the Fowler site accompanied by DEP engineer Emmanuel Nwaobilo in response to previous violations noted on 12/22/15 and 12/31/15 and made the following observations: •Site plans showing the updated access road were not present on site at the time of inspection. No violation, remediation requested. •A drainage culvert on the south side of the access road was poorly constructed and at the time of inspection allowing sediment laden water to leave the site. Remediation recommended, no violation.
