− | | | + | | I arrived on site with DNR Inspectors Grimm and Hill to collect samples. The location is in a wetlands. We completed a 360 * review of the site and found that there are cattails completely surrounding the location. There are two diversion swales that drain water away from the drilling site. During our soil sampling of the drilling pit area, a Quantab was used to test Chlorides on the soil sample. The Chloride reading was over 1000 ppm. After sampling was complete we were able to review the permit information. We found that the permit is a Lake Plains Region permit. As part of the permit conditons the pits should have been solidified and removed after drilling was completed. We met with the Great Plains field supervisor and advised him that there is brine contamination of the surface area in the vicinity of the former drilling pit. We also advised him that there is Chloride contamination entering a drain tile and leaving the site. The Chloride range leaving the site was over 1800 ppm. We advised the field supervisor to excavate the drilling pits and remove any contaminated soil and dispose of it properly. The drain tile also needs to be cleaned out and flushed. |

| I was on-site today to test the surface water, around the location, for chlorides. The testing was conducted using Quan tabs from low range bottle #1137 (expiration date 2013/02) and high range bottle #1099 (expiration date 2013/03). There are three drainage ditches around the location. Ditch #1 is located west of the wellhead and flows south to north and then turns north east and flows under the location through a culvert, which is located approximately 10 yards north of the wellhead and discharges into Ditch #3. This is the culvert that has the sediment issue at the east (discharge) end of it. Ditch #2 is located to the south of the tank battery and flows to the northeast into Ditch #3. Ditch #3 is located on the east side of the well head and tank battery and flows south to north. Drainage direction was confirmed with Bright Byes Tablets. A water sample was collected and tested from Ditch#1 discharge at GPS- N41.62606, W081.44359. Chloride levels were 172 PPM. Another water sample was collected at the culvert entrance to Ditch #1 at GPS- N41.62667, W081.44341. Chloride levels were 158 PPM. Drainage entering the ditches was clear. A water sample was also collected at the intersection of Ditch #1 and #3 at Chlorides at the discharge of the culvert, intersection ditch #1 and ditch #3 at GPS- N41.62667 W081.44310. Chloride levels were 765 PPM. On 03/21/2012 a water sample was tested at this same location and had chloride levels of 236 PPM. A water sample collected at the entrance to Ditch #2 (GPS- N41.62621, W081.44313) had chloride levels of 0 PPM. A water sample was also collected at the discharge of the culvert of Ditch #2 (GPS- N41.62625, W081.44306). Chloride levels were 28 PPM. None of the water in the ditches reacted with Phenolphthalein however, the beige colored suspended material at the discharge end of Ditch #1 did react with Phenolphthalein. Chlorides in the water sample collected from Ditch #3, before Ditch #2 discharges into it (GPS-N41.62626, W081.442950), were zero ppm. Chlorides in the water sample collected from Ditch #3 (GPS-N41.62662, W081.44300), just north of the discharge of Ditch #1, were 33 PPM. The increase in Chloride levels at the intersection of Ditch #1 and Ditch #3 indicates continued leaching from the well location. Remedial action must take place. | | I was on-site today to test the surface water, around the location, for chlorides.

| When I arrived onsite the operator was pulling vegetation blockages out of the drainage ditch that runs north/south on the east side of the location. This material was stockpiled on location and I tested it for chlorides (1063 PPM). The operator also excavated fill material away from the culvert until clean clay was encountered. I tested the clear water, seeping out of the fill, for chlorides (1063 PPM). This water was clear, with no visible drill mud. I had the operator excavate a test hole (TH) west of the wellhead and 15' north of the pits (TH #1) which is at the interface of the fill and virgin soil. Once the operator excavated below the fill, water began to seep in from the north. The soil to the south of the culvert was dry and dark brown in color. I had the operator excavate a test trench 5' north of the pits (TH #2,), to the same depth as TH #1. The soil in TH #2 was tight, dry clay. This trench was allowed to stand static and remained dry. I had the operator excavate TH #3 in the north end of the former pit. There was solidified material and shale cutting in this TH and it eventually filled with water. The operator backfilled all test holes and the area around the culvert with clean fill. The backfilled areas were seeded and fertilized at the time of inspection and silt fencing was installed. I will continue to monitor this site. If continued chloride leaching is detected, the material in the former pit will have to be removed and disposed of properly. | | When I arrived onsite the operator was pulling vegetation blockages out of the drainage ditch that runs north/south on the east side of the location.

At the time of this inspection, there are 14+ inches of snow cover in the area. As such, access to the wellhead and battery are accessible by foot only. Production equipment has been removed from the wellhead. Only a closure swage and valve remain. The battery is idle. Connections are secure. Production records indicate the well has not produced since 2012. I will follow up with Osair with regards to future plans to plug or produce the well. | ||

| My inspection of this well site found that the well has been converted from a plunger lift system to a pumping unit. It appears that the stuffing box had leaked and there is a brine scald around the wellhead. The stream to the north east of the well head has cream colored suspended solids in it. There are pools of what appears to be blue green algae growing in the water and there is Iron bacteria is evident. The water and the solids separate when sample is taken. I tested the chloride levels in a pool of the blue green material - > 1600 PPM. I also tested the chloride levels at the discharge end of the culvert - < 233 PPM. The water is clear entering the culvert but has the solids at the discharge end of the culvert. Water samples were collected at the entrance and discharge end of the culvert and sent to our lab. | | My inspection of this well site found that the well has been converted from a plunger lift system to a pumping unit.

1332415985 | 2012-03-21 | I arrived on site with DNR Inspectors Grimm and Hill to collect samples. The location is in a wetlands. We completed a 360 * review of the site and found that there are cattails completely surrounding the location. There are two diversion swales that drain water away from the drilling site. During our soil sampling of the drilling pit area, a Quantab was used to test Chlorides on the soil sample. The Chloride reading was over 1000 ppm. After sampling was complete we were able to review the permit information. We found that the permit is a Lake Plains Region permit. As part of the permit conditons the pits should have been solidified and removed after drilling was completed. We met with the Great Plains field supervisor and advised him that there is brine contamination of the surface area in the vicinity of the former drilling pit. We also advised him that there is Chloride contamination entering a drain tile and leaving the site. The Chloride range leaving the site was over 1800 ppm. We advised the field supervisor to excavate the drilling pits and remove any contaminated soil and dispose of it properly. The drain tile also needs to be cleaned out and flushed. | ||||
1332432302 | 2012-03-22 | I was on-site today to test the surface water, around the location, for chlorides. The testing was conducted using Quan tabs from low range bottle #1137 (expiration date 2013/02) and high range bottle #1099 (expiration date 2013/03). There are three drainage ditches around the location. Ditch #1 is located west of the wellhead and flows south to north and then turns north east and flows under the location through a culvert, which is located approximately 10 yards north of the wellhead and discharges into Ditch #3. This is the culvert that has the sediment issue at the east (discharge) end of it. Ditch #2 is located to the south of the tank battery and flows to the northeast into Ditch #3. Ditch #3 is located on the east side of the well head and tank battery and flows south to north. Drainage direction was confirmed with Bright Byes Tablets. A water sample was collected and tested from Ditch#1 discharge at GPS- N41.62606, W081.44359. Chloride levels were 172 PPM. Another water sample was collected at the culvert entrance to Ditch #1 at GPS- N41.62667, W081.44341. Chloride levels were 158 PPM. Drainage entering the ditches was clear. A water sample was also collected at the intersection of Ditch #1 and #3 at Chlorides at the discharge of the culvert, intersection ditch #1 and ditch #3 at GPS- N41.62667 W081.44310. Chloride levels were 765 PPM. On 03/21/2012 a water sample was tested at this same location and had chloride levels of 236 PPM. A water sample collected at the entrance to Ditch #2 (GPS- N41.62621, W081.44313) had chloride levels of 0 PPM. A water sample was also collected at the discharge of the culvert of Ditch #2 (GPS- N41.62625, W081.44306). Chloride levels were 28 PPM. None of the water in the ditches reacted with Phenolphthalein however, the beige colored suspended material at the discharge end of Ditch #1 did react with Phenolphthalein. Chlorides in the water sample collected from Ditch #3, before Ditch #2 discharges into it (GPS-N41.62626, W081.442950), were zero ppm. Chlorides in the water sample collected from Ditch #3 (GPS-N41.62662, W081.44300), just north of the discharge of Ditch #1, were 33 PPM. The increase in Chloride levels at the intersection of Ditch #1 and Ditch #3 indicates continued leaching from the well location. Remedial action must take place. | ||||
1333653886 | 2012-04-05 | When I arrived onsite the operator was pulling vegetation blockages out of the drainage ditch that runs north/south on the east side of the location. This material was stockpiled on location and I tested it for chlorides (1063 PPM). The operator also excavated fill material away from the culvert until clean clay was encountered. I tested the clear water, seeping out of the fill, for chlorides (1063 PPM). This water was clear, with no visible drill mud. I had the operator excavate a test hole (TH) west of the wellhead and 15' north of the pits (TH #1) which is at the interface of the fill and virgin soil. Once the operator excavated below the fill, water began to seep in from the north. The soil to the south of the culvert was dry and dark brown in color. I had the operator excavate a test trench 5' north of the pits (TH #2,), to the same depth as TH #1. The soil in TH #2 was tight, dry clay. This trench was allowed to stand static and remained dry. I had the operator excavate TH #3 in the north end of the former pit. There was solidified material and shale cutting in this TH and it eventually filled with water. The operator backfilled all test holes and the area around the culvert with clean fill. The backfilled areas were seeded and fertilized at the time of inspection and silt fencing was installed. I will continue to monitor this site. If continued chloride leaching is detected, the material in the former pit will have to be removed and disposed of properly. | ||||
1344355793 | 2012-08-07 | My inspection today found the following: Pump unit well in good repair. The man door to the tank battery did not have a lock on it, the operator will be contacted to install a lock on the man door. Review of the drainage area showed that the precipitant | ||||
1423148635 | 2015-02-05 | I inspected this well as part of routine inspection activity. My inspection found the following: Access to the well is via the former car dealer facility parking area. At the time of this inspection, there are 14+ inches of snow cover in the area. As such, access to the wellhead and battery are accessible by foot only. Production equipment has been removed from the wellhead. Only a closure swage and valve remain. The battery is idle. Connections are secure. Production records indicate the well has not produced since 2012. I will follow up with Osair with regards to future plans to plug or produce the well. | ||||

893397594 | 2012-03-14 | My inspection of this well site found that the well has been converted from a plunger lift system to a pumping unit. It appears that the stuffing box had leaked and there is a brine scald around the wellhead. The stream to the north east of the well head has cream colored suspended solids in it. There are pools of what appears to be blue green algae growing in the water and there is Iron bacteria is evident. The water and the solids separate when sample is taken. I tested the chloride levels in a pool of the blue green material - > 1600 PPM. I also tested the chloride levels at the discharge end of the culvert - < 233 PPM. The water is clear entering the culvert but has the solids at the discharge end of the culvert. Water samples were collected at the entrance and discharge end of the culvert and sent to our lab. |
