0028378588 2019-03-21 Production Wells No Violations My inspection revealed that the pollution and contamination issues mentioned in previous inspections are still ongoing. I observed a plastic line connected to the pumping tee on the well was open ended and appears to have allowed well fluid to pump on the ground. I observed a skim of oil on top of a water puddle next to the well. The wellhead itself was covered in oily residue. The area within the dike for the tank at the well contained what appeared to be old oil contamination. I observed oil contamination at the end of the plastic line that drains the dike. I observed oil contamination at a flow line fitting where the line has been disconnected and could allow fluid to leak uncontrollably. The location for this pollution and contamination was mentioned in my report dated 1/4/2019. The pollution and contamination from the flow line leak is located at these coordinates: N 39.44228 W -82.40669. I took several photos during this inspection. I left two voicemail messages for Mr. Poling with two different phone numbers. Time of inspection: 1:30 PM. Weather: 45 degrees F, Rain
0052012679 2019-04-17 Production Wells No Violations My follow-up inspection revealed that the well owner has not made any attempts to clean up or prevent pollution and contamination. The drain inside the dike for the tank near the well is allowing oil to escape containment. The oil contamination from the disconnected flow line is still allowing oil to leak onto the ground. I took several photos during my inspection. I left a voicemail message for Mr. Albert Poling on two different phone numbers during the inspection. Time of inspection: 2:00 PM. Weather: 76 degrees F, Partly cloudy
0172281046 2018-08-31 Production Wells No Violations My inspection revealed that no effort has been made to bring this well into compliance. The well was pumping during the inspection. I have made several attempts to contact the well owner Albert Poling but have been unsuccessful. I sampled water for chlorides near the well and tank battery with Quantab titrators. Within five feet of the well I sampled a pool of water with a low range Quantab which resulted in 8.5 Quantab units. That result equals greater than 645 ppm for chlorides. I also sampled water directly under a valve on the tank with a high range Quantab. That resulted in 7 Quantab units which equals 2,725 ppm for chlorides. I observed trash and oilfield debris laying around the well location including used cans, jugs, buckets, and cut up plastic line. I observed a bucket with crude oil in it sitting under the 1 inch pumping tee valve which was leaking into the bucket. At the unloading tank near the lease road entry I observed distressed vegetation and oily stained soil from what appeared to be a combination of a leak from the 3 inch load line and an inadequate dike around the 100 barrel tank. It looked as though the road ditch along Goat Run Honey Fork Rd. may have been impacted from this leak in the past. I left my business card with a note advising the well owner to contact me at the unloading tank. The well owner shall complete the following actions to bring well into compliance: 1) clean up pollution and contamination issues 2) clean up trash and debris. Time of inspection: 12:45 PM.

0354573438 2018-10-26 Production Wells No Violations I conducted a follow-up inspection on this well today. My inspection revealed that most of the contaminated soil has been removed between the well and the 100 barrel tank. I observed contaminated soil approximately 35 feet to the east of the 100 barrel tank. A 1 inch plastic line was observed within the dike for the 100 barrel tank that is used to drain the dike. The end of this plastic line was observed where I observed the contaminated soil to the east of the tank. The trash and debris has not been removed from the well location. I took several photos of the well location. I left a voicemail message for Albert Poling at 9:50 AM. Time of inspection: 8:15 AM. Weather: 41 degrees F, Rain
0586372068 2018-05-29 Production Wells No Violations My inspection revealed the well is not in compliance. The contamination from the pumping unit motor is approximately 5 feet by 5 feet. In addition to this area there is an area with free oil approximately 4 feet by 4 feet. I believe this spot of contamination came from the well being serviced. The tubing and rods have been removed from this well. I attempted to contact well owner Mr. Albert Poling at 12:20 PM. I was unable to leave a message.
0604327091 2019-01-31 Production Wells No Violations I conducted a compliance notice follow-up on the well location today. I could not determine what if any clean up has taken place due to wintry conditions. The well location was snow covered and water in the dike frozen. I will follow-up when weather conditions allow. Time of inspection: 9:00 AM. Weather: -3 degrees F, Sunny
0662244416 2014-06-04 Production Wells No Violations Upon inspection, it was observed that the contaminated soil around the well head has been scraped off and disposed of, and the leaky fittings at the production tank near Goat Run-Honey Fork Rd. have been repaired. The pumping unit was in operation upon my arrival and no leaks or other issues were observed. This satisfies the requirements of the compliance notice.
0684283198 2014-05-15 Production Wells No Violations Upon inspection, it was observed that this well has been serviced recently and is capable of production. The stuffing box on the well head is leaking and causing pollution and contamination in the form of free oil on the ground around the well head and in the containment dike near the adjacent 100 bbl production tank. In addition, the second 100 bbl tank for this well, which is near Goat Run-Honey Fork Rd. has leaky fittings around the hose where the tank is pumped down from. Some of the oil from the leaky tank fittings is making it into the drainage ditch by the road. I spoke with Albert Poling over the phone at 3:05 p.m. and explained the issues to him, and he stated that he will have the contamination cleaned up as soon as the ground dries out enough to move equipment in.
0849537926 2017-12-19 Production Wells Violations Noted My inspection revealed the well consists of a pumping unit and 1-100 barrel tank. The well has a area of contamination below the pumping unit motor. The area is approximately 5 feet by 5 feet. I believe this contamination is from changing the oil on the motor. I called well owner Albert Poling concerning this matter.
1405386604 2018-09-27 Production Wells No Violations I met with well owner Albert Poling at the well today. I advised Mr. Poling of the fact that Kip Thompson issued a compliance notice for pollution and contamination on 12/19/2017. I told Mr. Poling that I expected the oil and brine contamination to be removed by 10/5/2018 and to have the trash and debris removed by that date. I informed Mr. Poling that the 10 day weather forecast shows little to no chance of rain and that should allow him to bring in equipment to do the work. I will check on the progress by 10/5/2018. I mentioned to Mr. Poling that the landowner and adjacent landowner would like for the flow line to be buried as the flow line traverses two separate properties. Mr. Poling said he would look into burying the line. Mr. Poling was also advised that the dike around the unloading at the lease road entrance needs to be built up. I took more photos of the well location. Time of inspection: 12:30 PM. Weather: 64 degrees F, Overcast
1406570776 2013-01-09 Production Wells No Violations FOLLOW UP TO NOV # 1645177977 Well has recently been serviced and was in operation at the time of inspection. There is no identification at the well or tank battery. Production has not been submitted for this well since 2009. There is a tank that the well is pumping in to that is 50 feet away from the well, and it has a containment dike built around it. Fluid had escaped the dike. It had caused two small scald areas 1.5 ft. by 25 ft. and 1.5 ft by 20 ft. As per my conversation with Mr. Albert Poling on 1/10/13 at 9:28 am, I told him that those areas must be remediated. I also told him that identification must be posted on the well, and that production records must be submitted for the well. I gave him Patty Nicklauss number at the Columbus office so that he could acquire the needed forms.
1460477135 2018-08-22 Production Wells No Violations My inspection revealed that the well location has not been brought into compliance. Inspector Kip Thompson issued a compliance notice on 12/19/2017 for pollution and contamination. The inspection that took place on 12/19/2017 referenced oil contamination from the pumping unit motor as the reason for the compliance notice. A follow-up inspection on 5/29/2018 by Inspector Kip Thompson revealed a separate pollution and contamination issue at the well location regarding crude oil. My inspection revealed that neither contamination issues have been cleaned up. I observed oil contamination on the ground near the pumping unit motor and near the wellhead. I also observed brine contamination on the ground near the wellhead as far as 30 feet away going towards the 100 barrel tank. I tested a pool of water approximately 15 feet from the well with a low range Quantab titrator for chlorides. The test result was 3.6 Quantab units which equal 124 ppm chlorides. I also tested a pool of water with a low range Quantab titrator for chlorides at the tank beneath a 2 inch valve on the bottom of the tank. That test resulted a maximum 10 Quantab units which equals greater than 645 ppm chlorides. This well produces into a 100 barrel tank at the well location. I also observed a 100 barrel tank near the lease road entry point. Identification was posted at both tanks. I took several photos of the well location. Time of inspection: 2:00 PM. Weather: 74 degrees F, Sunny
1538655369 2018-10-04 Production Wells No Violations My inspection revealed that no work has started on the clean up at the well location. I observed oil from the well to the tank. The debris has not been removed. The well was pumping during my inspection. I did observe 3 piles of fresh dirt in separate locations along the road to the well. I took 10 photos of the well location. I left a voicemail message for Albert Poling at 12:57 PM. Time of inspection: 7:55 AM. Weather: 68 degrees F, Sunny
1546612870 2019-01-04 Production Wells No Violations During my follow-up inspection today I observed that oil has leaked from the stuffing box on the well and allowed oil to flow from the well to the 100 barrel tank. The well was pumping during the inspection. I observed oil completely on all sides of the 100 barrel tank. The area impacted by the oil would approximately be 40 feet long by 10 feet wide. The oil was being contained in the dike for the tank. I observed a 210 gallon plastic tank near the well with no containment. It appears that fluid has leaked or been drained on the ground from this tank recently. The tank was half full of oil and a 1 inch plastic line was observed entering the tank from the wellhead. The well was pumping into the 100 barrel during the inspection. I observed oil within the dike at the tank near the road. The amount of oil would approximately be 25 gallons. I also observed pollution and contamination from a flow line leak at these coordinates: N 39.44228 W -82.40669. Time of inspection: 8:20 AM. Weather: 28 degrees F, Sunny
1546872200 2019-01-07 Production Wells No Violations I conducted a follow-up inspection today after I left a voicemail message for Albert Poling on 1/4/2019 regarding my findings that day. Mr. Poling left me a voicemail at 8:44 PM on 1/4/2019 stating that he was aware of the oil at the well and tank. My follow-up inspection this date revealed that some water was drained from the dike through the plastic hose for the tank at the well which allowed oil to be drained as well. I observed pockets of oil approximately 75 feet away below the tank. The well was pumping during the inspection. The 210 gallon plastic tank I observed during the previous inspection was empty. I left a voicemail message for Mr. Poling at 8:37 AM. Time of inspection: 8:20 AM. Weather: 37 degrees F, Overcast
