|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1915536 | Primary Facility | 2010-09-08 | Complaint Inspection | No Violations Noted | |
| 1963301 | Primary Facility | 2011-03-07 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | Met with Dave Miller and Derrick Rice of Range to talk about the problems I found during my March 2nd inspections. I found no new problems and got some insight in the old ones. |
| 1963305 | Primary Facility | 2011-03-08 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | Stopped at the site with WQS, Byron Miller (Washington is his county) so he could see the problems. Byron had some additional questions about the pipeline. |
| 1963328 | Primary Facility | 2011-03-18 | Complaint Inspection | Violation(s) Noted | This inspection was partially in response to a complaint. Gauged progress on formerly mentioned problems and discovered more BMP problems. Made plans to meet with Dave Miller on March 22, 2011. |
| 1963353 | Primary Facility | 2011-03-21 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Violation(s) & Recurring Violations | Found several violations on the pipeline project. Will reinspect with supervisor March 22, 2011. |
| 1963358 | Primary Facility | 2011-03-22 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | Returned to site with Supervisor, Vince Yantko and met with Dave Miller. Numerous photographs and collected a water sample for possible AMD. |
| 1970126 | Primary Facility | 2011-04-14 | Compliance Evaluation | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | No new violations. Slow progress being made. Working on engineering solution for slides. |
| 1970307 | Primary Facility | 2011-05-03 | Compliance Evaluation | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | On May 4, 2011, I stopped at the Rice¿s Hulk site in Amwell Township to check on their progress towards addressing the problems found earlier in the year. |
| 1995788 | Primary Facility | 2011-05-18 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | On May 18, 2011, I stopped at the progress at Rice¿s Hulk site. Very little work was done on site, again because of the wet weather. I noticed the pipeline area was cleared but work had not yet started. I also noticed the water in the freshwater impoundment was nearly above the 2-foot freeboard allowed. |
| 1995811 | Primary Facility | 2011-06-09 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | On June 9, 2011, I stopped to check on the progress of the 10 Mile Creek to Hulk section of pipeline. |
| 1995828 | Primary Facility | 2011-06-30 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | On June 30, 2011 I stopped at the Hulk pad to gauge progress. The original stream crossing was repaired but the sediment fence near the 10 Mile Creek withdrawal area was still down. |
| 1995883 | Primary Facility | 2011-07-29 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | Inspected the site with Water Quality specialist Supervisor, Vince Yantko. Some progress on original problems but others need addressed. There appears to be no E&S plan for the Hulk fresh water impoundment to Hulk pad part of the pipeline. We talked with Dave Miller and Well Tech personnel. |
| 1995935 | Primary Facility | 2011-07-29 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Violation(s) & Outstanding Violations | I looked for the Hulk Impoundment to Hulk Wellpad plans at both the Captain Planet Crossing and at the 10 Mile Creek Crossing and could find none. My calls to Mr. Miller make me think that they do not exist. This is an additional violation. |
| 2002675 | Primary Facility | 2011-08-17 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | Checked site, but no operations going on during inspection. Wetland and stream crossings |
| 2002689 | Primary Facility | 2011-08-25 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | |
| 2002700 | Primary Facility | 2011-08-31 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | I checked the area with DEP Biologist, Bill McCune. Bill confirmed that stream crossings had occurred and that a wetland was encroached. The drilling company (East Coast Underground) was on-site trying to pull a plastic pipe through the hole they drilled. |
| 2002707 | Primary Facility | 2011-09-14 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Violation(s) Noted | Violations noted for 5 unpermitted stream crossings and one wetland impact. |
| 2008328 | Primary Facility | 2011-09-30 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | Actively boring under the stream and wetland. |
| 2008336 | Primary Facility | 2011-10-04 | Routine/Partial Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | Still working at the site. |
| 2014348 | Primary Facility | 2011-10-14 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | It appears that the construction is done at this site. However, no restoration work has been done. |
| 2018084 | Primary Facility | 2011-11-02 | Compliance Evaluation | No Violations Noted | Checked the pipelines around the Hulk pad. The slopes were vegetated and stabilized. The active roads to the water withdrawal to Little Ten Mile creek will need stabilized, but these are still in use for at least awhile. This inspection closes out the original Hulk violations covered by the March 21, 2011 NOV. There are still NOVs associated with this site and related pipeline that will be closed separately. |
| 2022766 | Primary Facility | 2011-11-02 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | At inspection Rice's contractor wsa putting geofabric and rock down on the access road. |
| 2022771 | Primary Facility | 2011-11-17 | Routine/Complete Inspection | Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd | It appears that all crossing work is done. The site is stabilized but there is still some equipment left. |
| 2022883 | Primary Facility | 2011-11-30 | Compliance Evaluation | No Violations Noted | The crossing work is done. The site is mostly stabilized with some minor & continuing maintenance work to be done. |
| 2025846 | Primary Facility | 2011-12-01 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Replaced bridge deck. Considered a repair. |
| 2033115 | Primary Facility | 2011-12-13 | Complaint Inspection | Violation(s) Noted | No discharge problems but NOV sent for erosion & sedimentation issues. |
| 2033285 | Primary Facility | 2012-01-11 | Compliance Evaluation | No Violations Noted | On January 11, 2012, I stopped at the Hulk pad to check on the progress Rice made toward addressing the problems I discovered on December 13, 2011. |
| 2033327 | Primary Facility | 2012-01-11 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | On January 11, 2012, I stopped at the Hulk pad to check on the progress Rice made toward addressing the problems I discovered on December 13, 2011. |
| 2096083 | Primary Facility | 2012-08-07 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Checked E&S and found no problems. |
| 2097232 | Primary Facility | 2012-08-27 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | On August 27, 2012, I checked the pipeline that runs between Rice’s Hulk fresh-water impoundment and Rice’s Captain Planet site. |
| 2161920 | Primary Facility | 2013-04-03 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | On April 3, 2013, I stopped at Rice’s Hulk pad for a routine inspection. Currently Rice has three wells in production at this site 125-24210, 125-24214 & 125-24212. Additionally, Rice was preparing to drill 125-26985, 125-26986 & 125-26987 but they were waiting on those permits. |
