| 2550845 | Primary Facility | 2017-01-01 | Drilling/Alteration | No Violations Noted | The department was called out by PEMA for a fire on the Rice Papa Bear pad at approximately 16:03 on January 1st, 2017. Upon arrival at well site at approximately 17:50 the majority of the fire had been extinguished using firefighting foam. Foam was still being applied and used to extinguish truck tires that had not yet been fully extinguished. The department conducted an inspection of fracing equipment, wellheads and the containment on the pad. The fire appeared to be limited to the area around the frac pumping truck units and associated equipment. Several pump trucks were severely damaged with other equipment requiring further inspection to determine damage and safe operation ability. |

| 2614251 | Primary Facility | 2017-04-26 | Follow-up Inspection | No Violations Noted | On 4/26/17 a follow up inspection was conducted of the Papa Bear Well Site in response to an incident (CTS ID: 324312) that occurred on 1/1/17. The following was observed:
>The site appeared to be in generally good condition with no visible residual impacts from the fire. >Two graveled areas were found at the site's stream crossing directly adjacent to the delineated wetlands there. Wetland vegetation was observed encroaching on disturbed and graveled areas. Minor modifications should be added to site plans. No violation. >Secondary containment around equipment on site was intact and adequately maintained. >The site appeared to be in generally good condition with no visible residual impacts from the fire. |
| 2616988 | Primary Facility | 2017-07-07 | Incident- Response to Accident or Event | Viol(s) Noted & Immediately Corrected | On 7/7/17 an INCDT inspection of the Papa Bear site was conducted in response to an operator reported spill of 25-30 gallons of produced water on 7/6/17 (CTS ID: 328060). The following was observed:
>>The pull offs near the stream crossing on the site access road noted during previous inspections had been removed and vegetated as reported by the operator. >>The operator reported that while servicing well equipment an undrained section of pipe leaked 25-30 gallons of production water to the pad. Excavation of the impacted materials had been completed at the time of inspection with no further indication of contamination. This constitutes a violation of 25 Pa. Code 78.54 and 25 Pa. Code 78.57(a) in that the operator failed to contain production fluids. >>Servicing of site equipment was ongoing at the time of inspection. |
