| 2704151 | Primary Facility | 2018-03-12 | Preoperation Inspection | No Violations Noted | I concur the Perimeter Temporary BMPs have been installed in accordance with the approved permit. No violations were noted. If you have any questions, please contact me. |
| 2733437 | Primary Facility | 2018-05-21 | Drilling/Alteration | No Violations Noted | Arrived on location at 08:30. Minichi Drilling "Spudder" rig on location. Rig has set (4) new 20" Conductors to 88' GL for the Falconero 1H, 2H, 3H & 4H wells. All Conductors holes were drilled on air w/ 20" casing driven in place. All (4) well slots have had 16" mouseholes installed. Minichi is finishing up drilling and well cellars will be installed later today and tomorrow morning.
- I met with SWN Regulatory Rep., Dillon Otten and Minichi Drilling Rep. Keith onsite. We discussed the recent operations completed. - Valid permits are in place and "Spud Notifications" have been received for all (4) newly spudded wells. All was found in good order and no violations were noted at time of inspection. Left location at 10:00. |
| 2784523 | Primary Facility | 2018-09-26 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | The Department arrived on site to conduct a routine complete inspection of the pad. The Department was represented by Brad Kline (WQS), Briana Cunningham (WQSS) and myself. Upon arrival, the Department spoke to Andrew Griffith (Company Man-SWN) who accompanied us for the remainder of the inspection.
The well-connect pipeline was being constructed at the time of the inspection, with most of the pipeline activity concentrated near the pad entrance. At the time of the inspection, the Rig #45 was in the process of drilling the 3H, which is the third of four new wells being drilled on the pad. Mr. Griffith informed us that the casing issues SWN had encountered while drilling the first well had been resolved, but they were now trying resolve a new issue involving drilling mud turning viscous and negatively impacting the efficiency of the bit. The drill cuttings are being collected combined with sawdust and hauled to Keystone Landfill. While we were walking the perimeter of the pad, Ms. Cunningham noticed that |
| 2820345 | Primary Facility | 2018-12-20 | Follow-up Inspection | No Violations Noted | Casey Baldwin, DEP O&G WQS and I arrived at the site 10:44 to conduct a follow-up inspection regarding an ongoing drainage/saturation issue occurring in a Complainant's yard. The weather conditions were mostly cloudy skies, with light winds and temperatures in the upper 30’s. We met with Anthony Mauro, Maintenance Foreman of SWNPC shortly after arrival. Mr. Mauro stated the following regarding site activities: "We are In the process of installing production equipment. Flowback of the wells will start between the week of Christmas and New Years. Frac plugs have been drilled out. This was finished on Saturday."
Mr. Baldwin and I parked our trucks near the pad entrance. We conducted the inspection of the site walking in a counter clockwise pattern. Around 11:10-11:15, we discovered elevated specific conductance (conductivity) in unfrozen water on the secondary containment for the frac tank battery. Mr. Mauro informed us that the tanks have been here since the frac. The tanks contain fresh and recycl |
| 2820408 | Primary Facility | 2018-12-04 | Follow-up Inspection | No Violations Noted | Gene Rickard (WQS) and I arrived on site at 1138 to conduct a follow-up inspection on behalf of the Department. This inspection was performed to document the progression of an ongoing saturation issue in the Complainant's yard.
According to the Complainant, the issue started earlier this summer after the construction of SWN's Falconero Well Pad. The Complainant alleges the problem is tied to an bioretention basin located up-gradient of their property. Previous inspections documenting this complaint can be found under the following inspection records: #2749865, #2755894, and # 2767083. The bioretention basin is equipped with a drain valve for dewatering the basin after storm events. According to the plan's maintenance notes, the basin should be drained using the valve if it is still holding water 72 hours after a storm event. At the Department's request, a log was created to document when the valve was opened to observe whether a correlation exists between the amount of water in the basin and the excess ru |
| 2820417 | Primary Facility | 2018-12-13 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | I arrived on site at 0943 to conduct a follow-up inspection regarding an ongoing drainage /saturation issue occurring in a Complainant's yard. Previous inspections documentiong this issue can be found under the following inspection records: #2749865, #2755894, #2767083, and #2812507.
I scheduled this meeting after performing the previous inspection (#2812507) during which I noted that the Complainant's reported issue continues to be ongoing. In attendance were Dillon Otten (SWN) Seth Tratthen (SWN), Steve Shrodo (Senior Civil Engineer-DEP), Briana Cunningham (WQSS-DEP), and myself. I began the meeting by talking a little about the history of the Complainant's issues, and that the Complainant reported that it seemed to coincide with the construction of this well pad. Specifically, a bioretention basin directly uphill from the saturated area was the main concern of this inspection. Next, we discussed the maintenance notes for the basin. According to the site plan, the basin is supposed to be dewatered via th |
| 2833728 | Primary Facility | 2019-01-30 | Administrative/File Review | No Violations Noted | This administrative inspection report is created to document the Department's receipt of sample results related to the discovery of elevated specific conductance (conductivity) readings recorded in a trench constructed to install production pipeline, during the Department's 12-20-18 inspection at the site. The Department collected water and soil samples on 12-20-18 as a result of the elevated conductivity readings. For additional details pertaining to the elevated conductivity readings and samples collected, refer to the Department's Falconero 12-20-18 inspection report, inspection ID# 2818847.
On 12-20-18 the Department collected a groundwater sample from the production line trench at the Southwestern (SWN) Falconero Pad. The PADEP Bureau of Laboratories in Harrisburg, PA forwarded the the water sample results to the Department on 1-29-19. Upon review of the Department’s groundwater sample results, it was noted that the results had elevated concentrations of barium, lead, lithium, manganese, strontium |
| 2844213 | Primary Facility | 2019-02-04 | Follow-up Inspection | No Violations Noted | Jon Sassi and I arrived onsite at 1055 hours to conduct a follow-up inspection of the pad. We were joined onsite by Dylan Otten (SWN) and Eric Castonguay (Woodard and Curran). The weather was mild at nearly 50 degrees F and mostly sunny with relatively calm winds.
Woodard and Curran is handling the onsite remediation and monitoring efforts. Mr. Castonguay stated that all monitoring points established onsite have been trending steadily downward over the last few weeks, with only one monitoring location (Sump D) having exceeded 0.75 mS/cm since 25JAN2018. Monitoring locations have been established in both locations through which stormwater exits the location: the bioretention basin (Sump 2) and the roadside ditch adjacent to the access road (monitoring point aptly named 'Access Road'). According to Mr. Castonguay, the sumps in trench and in rock-lined ditch in rear of pad have not gone over 0.75 mS/cm for a week or two. Numbers obtained from official Woodard and Curran monitoring report confirm this stateme |
| 2851138 | Primary Facility | 2019-02-22 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | I arrived onsite at 1445 to conduct a complaint response investigation. The weather was 37 degrees F and mostly cloudy with a steady slight breeze and no precipitation. This inspection was conducted in response to an ongoing complaint involving saturation issues in a yard directly adjacent to the well pad.
The saturation issues may to be linked to grading changes on the well pad up gradient of the yard, including the installation of a bioretention basin. The Department is trying to establish if there is a link between the basin's retention of water and the saturation and drainage issues experienced in the complainant's yard nearby. The valve opening-closing schedule indicated in the maintenance notes had not been followed by SWN during the summer and autumn months due to the concern that it would add to the complainant's saturation issues. However, after consultation and a site visit with Steve Shrodo of DEP Oil and Gas permitting, the Department recommended that the maintenance notes for the basin be foll |
