2368522 Primary Facility 2015-04-14 Follow-up Inspection No Viols - Permanently Shut Down Gas well is intact at surface, but may be leaking gas at subsurface into nearby area. On abandoned list, but should be a plugging priority.
2412380 Primary Facility 2015-04-14 Routine/Partial Inspection No Adverse Event or Action Reported Little to no gas leaking from wellhead, disconnected from line and shut-in.
2412384 Primary Facility 2015-08-24 Routine/Complete Inspection No Adverse Event or Action Reported Casinghead w/ 4 1/2" casing, tee, swage, ball valve and plug. Very slight leak of gas at wellhead. Took new GPS reading.
2476952 Primary Facility 2016-04-21 Routine/Partial Inspection Pending Well unchanged from prior inspection of 8/24/15. Well has remained detached from salesline w/ no noticeable activity for over one year. Nearby 8" ventpipe continues to vent a visible amount of gas.
2511860 Primary Facility 2016-07-07 Routine/Partial Inspection No Adverse Event or Action Reported Wellhead is intact, leaking gas slightly. Nearby ventpipe along the road is gassing visibly.
2614904 Primary Facility 2017-07-12 Routine/Partial Inspection No Violations Noted Visited site to check vent status near the well. Peoples Gas is installing new 6"(?) plastic gas line along north side of Scrubgrass Road, and may be effecting the vent. Vent is noticeably gassing, as usual. Due to activity in area, I could not inspect any of the wells.
2616079 Primary Facility 2017-07-17 Routine/Partial Inspection No Violations Noted Returned to site to check status of new gas line replacement in area by Peoples. They have not replaced the line in the vent area. Vent is still venting gas at its usual rate. I was able to inspect the Nixon 501-4 well while there. Well is intact and unchanged from previous inspections. Well has a very small gas leak from wellhead.
2621349 Primary Facility 2017-08-01 Routine/Partial Inspection No Violations Noted Peoples Gas appears to be finished replacing pipeline along Scrubgrass Road. Area around vent was not disturbed, as line may have been replaced several years ago there (?). Vent continues to vent gas at its usual rate, unaffected by line work.
2665985 Primary Facility 2017-11-30 Routine/Partial Inspection No Violations Noted Wellhead is intact with no leaks detected by Altair 5X. Met with Scott Twp. representative and sewer representative at nearby vent pipe to discuss stray gas problem and visit other wellsites along Scrubgrass Road.
2705382 Primary Facility 2018-03-14 Routine/Partial Inspection Pending Well is shut in and unchanged from prior inspections. Nearby vent along Scrubgrass Road continues to vent a steady flow of gas.
2712590 Primary Facility 2018-03-30 Routine/Partial Inspection Pending Well is shut in and unchanged from prior inspections with no noticeable operator work activity. Gas readings with 62-S meter were zero for wellhead, but varied for surrounding soil tests. ONE TESTHOLE BESIDE WELLHEAD FLOWED A STEADY 80% GAS. Nearby vent along Scrubgrass Road continues to vent a steady flow of gas. 62-S meter readings in soil near vent all indicate stray gas.
2722989 Primary Facility 2018-04-05 Routine/Partial Inspection Pending Visited site with operator to get pressures, check for leaks and discuss plans for well. Production casing has 80# pressure. Soil gas test readings surrounding well were up to 65% LEL, leveling to~5% LEL. Nearby abandoned salesline had ~45% LEL when first opened, but had no pressure or flow.
2723005 Primary Facility 2018-04-10 Routine/Partial Inspection Pending Visited site to check for followup work on well by operator after 4/5/18 visit. None noted.
2723010 Primary Facility 2018-04-17 Routine/Partial Inspection Pending Visited site to check for followup work on well by operator after 4/5/18 visit. None noted.

2757467 Primary Facility 2018-07-25 Routine/Partial Inspection Pending Visited site with Echelon to evaluate stray gas in area. Stray soil gas present around wellhead as high as 63% gas using Bascom Turner meter. All soil tests from wellhead to nearby ventpipe along Scrubgrass Road and beyond ventpipe up road indicated significant quantities of gas.
2765680 Primary Facility 2018-08-21 Routine/Partial Inspection Pending No work has been done to well by operator. No changes to well.
2782513 Primary Facility 2018-10-02 Routine/Partial Inspection Pending Met with representative from Peoples Gas to discuss pipelines in area and talk about future stray gas remediation planned.

2794022 Primary Facility 2018-10-24 Routine/Partial Inspection Pending Visited site to determine if Scrubgrass Road ROW (30' from center line) was wide enough to contain proposed remediation work - it is not. Difficulties finding current owner of site to secure signed contractual consent form has delayed remediation work. Also attempting to contact well operator for same.
