| 2127628 | 2012-11-09 | No Violations Noted | Check to see if drill cuttings pit greater than 20 inches above seasonal high groundwater. Some evidence that it is but will recheck when pit empty and liner gone. | |
| 2127657 | 2012-11-27 | No Violations Noted | On November 27, 2012, I stopped at the Tharp site to check the status of the cuttings pit; I talked to Jeff Kerr. They were emptying the pit at inspection without drying the cuttings. The plan is to fill in the pit to expand the pad for future fracking operations. | |
| 2128122 | 2012-12-06 | Violation(s) Noted | On December 6, 2012, I stopped at EQT’s Tharp site; I talked primarily with Bill Balog and Rex Nelson, both are Construction Specialists for EQT.
EQT had finished removing the liner and I wanted to see if there were signs the pit was originally constructed within 20 inches of seasonable high ground water. They scrapped the pit down to bedrock. The bottommost part appeared to be mostly fractured rock. It became more like soil in the top 2 feet of the pit. Most of the material below 2 feet deep was wet and there was a small amount of free water in the bottom of the pit. About 24 inches from the top of the pit, you could see a layer where the soil changed. The soil below that was very dark and wet, this area smelled like muck soil. It appeared dryer above this. Based on the soil report submitted by EQT, the observations and photos of the seep I took on November 9th and the conditions I saw in the pit on December 6th I believe that EQT built the Tharp cuttings pit in the water table. This is a violation of §78.56(a)(4)(iii). |
