| 1954156 | Primary Facility | 2011-02-28 | Follow-up Inspection | Violation(s) Noted | E&S Inspection log not up to date and had spill of production water to ground on site |
| 1966428 | Primary Facility | 2011-04-05 | Follow-up Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | |
| 1990092 | Primary Facility | 2011-07-21 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | |
| 2002392 | Primary Facility | 2011-09-13 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Violation(s) Noted | The surface of the pad was in poor condition resulting in sediment leaving the pad. This is a violation of 35 PS §691.402 ¿ Potential to pollute the waters of the Commonwealth. The Rock Construction Entrance (RCE) was covered in mud and no longer functioning and the rock lined conveyance channel on the north side of the pad was filled with sediment and must be maintained. This is a violation of 25 PA Code §102.4(b)(1). There were frac tanks on site not located on a liner. It would be advisable to have a liner under these tanks reduce the potential for a release of a pollutional substance. There were frac tanks located on a liner that had a tear in it. The liquid on the liner had an elevated reading for specific conductivity. This is a violation of 25 PA Code §78.56(a) ¿ failure to contain a pollutional substance and 35 PS §6018.301 discharge of residual waste. A sample was collected for SAC 942 analysis at this location. |
| 2012125 | Primary Facility | 2011-10-17 | Follow-up Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | During the Sept. 13, 2011 inspection the surface of the pad was in poor condition resulting in sediment leaving the pad. This was a violation of 35 PS §691.402 - Potential to pollute the waters of the Commonwealth. The Rock Construction Entrance (RCE) was covered in mud and no longer functioning and the rock lined conveyance channel on the north side of the pad was filled with sediment and not maintained. This is a violation of 25 PA Code §102.4(b)(1). The issues have been addressed and the violations corrected. The Sept. 13, 2011 inspection also noted there were frac tanks on site not located on a liner. The liquid on the liner had an elevated reading for specific conductivity. This is a violation of 25 PA Code §78.56(a) - failure to contain a pollutional substance and 35 PS §6018.301 discharge of residual waste. These violations will remain outstanding until such time as it can be proven the soil is not contaminated. |

| 2023735 | Primary Facility | 2011-12-01 | Follow-up Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | On 12/1/11 an inspection was conducted at the Button B 901 pad to follow up on violations cited during a Sept. 13, 2011 inspection (2002392). During this inspection the site ID sign, E&S plan and perimeter of the site were observed. The E&S controls for the site were in place and maintained. No frac tanks remained, but the liner was still present. A field meter reading of the fluid showed no elevated reading for specific conductivity on the liner and a reading of 927uS/cm in a small puddle at the toe of the slope below where the frac tanks have been stored. Ultra Resources has indicated to the Department that the liner will be removed and the soil tested to assess the area for potential impacts. This has not yet been done. These violations will remain outstanding until such time as it can be proven the soil is not contaminated. No new violations were cited during this inpsection. |
| 2026135 | Primary Facility | 2011-12-12 | Follow-up Inspection | No Violations Noted | During this inspection the site ID sign, E&S plan and perimeter of the site were observed. The E&S controls for the site were in place and maintained. The Rock Construction Entrance and rocked thru-fare are in good condition. All the frac tanks and the liner they were on have been removed from the site. Ultra taken EC readings of the area in question and submitted them to the Department. The oustanding violations ( 25 PA Code §78.56(a) - failure to contain a pollutional substance and 35 PS §6018.301 discharge of residual waste.)are now being resolved. The area where the frac tanks were located has been regraded. The No new violations were cited during this inspection. - MRN |

| 2150287 | Primary Facility | 2013-03-21 | Routine/Partial Inspection | No Violations Noted | An inspection of the Button B 901 pad in West Branch Township, Potter County was conducted on March 21, 2013. There are six drill permits associated with this site. The 3H, 4H and 5H wells are on active status, the 2H well has been reported not drilled by the operator and the 1H and 6H wells have been placed on Regulatory Inactive Status. The pad was partially snow covered at the time of this inspection. No puddles exhibiting elevated conductivity or erosion issues were observed at this time. No violations were cited during this inspection. |
| 2211902 | Primary Facility | 2013-10-10 | Routine/Partial Inspection | No Violations Noted | On October 10, 2013 an inspection was conducted at the Button B 901 pad in West Branch Township, Potter County. The last inspection conducted on behalf of the operator was on 10/8/13. The site is stabilized and no erosion issues were noted. Several puddles were screened and none exhibited elevated conductance. No violations were cited during this inspection. |
| 2329883 | Primary Facility | 2014-11-21 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | |
| 2444054 | Primary Facility | 2016-01-26 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Routine inspection. SWEPI acquired wells from Ultra Resources on 10/31/14. Four wells were drilled by Ultra (3H, 4H, 1H & 6H). Interim restoration not yet completed. SWEPI to submit a request in 2016 to extend the restoration requirements for the site. The site is permanently stabilized and the pad surface has been vegetated, except for the access road. Two water impoundments are at the site--the smaller impoundment was approximately 1/4 full and the larger impoundment was near capacity. Both impoundments were frozen over and snow covered. No violations cited. TLT |

| 2623373 | Primary Facility | 2017-08-07 | Site Restoration | No Violations Noted | On 8/7/17 at 1055 hrs I conducted an inspection of the Button 901 well site. SWEPI employee, Chris Citrino, arrived during the inspection. It was overcast with showers and 60 degrees F.
I observed the site (Photo #1) and reviewed the erosion and sediment (E&S) routine inspection log, the Notice of Termination (NOT) and the Well Site Restoration Report (WSRR). The site consists of the well pad, compressor pad and two freshwater impoundments. Four wells, the 1H, 3H, 4H and 6H, have been drilled. According to DEP records, the 3H and 4H wells are in production; the 1H and 6H were placed on inactive status in 2012. The compressor pad is located across Pigeon Hill Road from the well pad. Produced water is stored in a production tank, which is staged in secondary containment (Photo #4). A 55-gallon drum was observed in the production tank containment (Photo #5); it was labeled "pipeline water" and dated 10/17/16. Standing water in containment had a field measured specific conductance of 2,350 micro Siemens/cm; t |
| 2652075 | Primary Facility | 2017-10-25 | Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) | No Violations Noted | Routine inspection of the Button pad for 2 uncompleted wells being plugged. Rig on location for P&A. No Companyman or crew on location. The rig was on the 6H while the 1H is plugged capped and buried presumably. BOP on well, tbg in hole w/ TIW. No obvious issues were observed. |
| 2658540 | Primary Facility | 2017-11-08 | Administrative/File Review | No Violations Noted | November 8, 2017: Certificate of Well Plugging for the Button B 901 1H (105-21612) has been received, reviewed, signed, and sent to file. |
| 2658986 | Primary Facility | 2017-11-09 | Plugging(Includes Plugged/Mined Through) | No Violations Noted | Routine inspection of the Button pad following the plug and abandonment of two uncompleted wells. The 1H and 6H were plugged, cut, capped and buried. No obvious issues were observed at the wells' surface locations. The 3H and 4H were in production at the time of inspection. I conducted a visual inspection of the wells. Both wells had a production tree in place with plunger lift, gauges on wing valves for production csg pressure, and backside of production casing vented. The cellars were full of gravel. No irregular pressures or obvious issues were observed. |
