Inspection ID Inspection Category Inspection Date Inspection Type Inspection Result Inspection Comments
2609606 Primary Facility 2017-06-29 Routine/Partial Inspection No Violations Noted On 6/29/17 at 1400 hrs I attended a preconstruction meeting for the Headwaters 142 well site. JKLM representatives, Jeff Long and John Manuel, and J.L. Watts representative, John Watts, were present. Penn E&R developed the Erosion and Sediment (E&S) control plan and J.L Watts is the construction contractor.

We reviewed the E&S drawing. Site drainage is to Cushing Hollow, which is designated as a High Quality stream. A majority of the access road was constructed under the Headwaters 143 ESCGP. The access road for the 142 will come off the existing road and is 750 feet in length. The site will consist of a well pad (approximately 350 feet x 500 feet) and two sediment traps; Sediment Trap 1 (ST-1) and Sediment Trap 2 (ST-2) will be located beyond the southwest side of the pad. The pad will be soil cemented for stability and sumps will be installed in the south and west corners. A pipeline spur (550 feet in length) will connect the 142 well pad to the 143.

New Growth Resources will be contracted to complete t

2639522 Primary Facility 2017-09-22 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted On 9/22/17 at 0934 hrs I conducted a routine inspection at the Headwaters 142 well site. It was mostly sunny and 60 degrees F. The construction contractor, J.L. Watts, was on site.

I observed the site, the Erosion and Sediment (E&S) plan and the routine E&S inspection log. New Growth Resources has finished clearing the pad and pipeline spur. The site had been grubbed and wood chip filter berms were installed along the south end of the site. Cut and fill work was ongoing to construct the site to final grade.

Well permits for the Headwaters 142 1HU - 3HU and 4V have been issued.

The last routine E&S inspection was conducted on 9/14/17. No violations are cited during this inspection. I concluded the inspection at 1054 hrs. TLT

2657840 Primary Facility 2017-11-07 Preoperation Inspection No Violations Noted A pre-spud inspection was completed at the JKLM Headwaters 142 well pad located in Ulysses Township, Potter County on November 7, 2017 at 1030 hrs. The weather was 34 degrees, light snow. Present onsite were myself Jeff long, JKLM and John Watts, JL Watts.

There are total of 4 wells on location. Conductor only on all four : 1HU drilled and cemented on 11/28/17. Conductor depth is 80 ft., and the size - 26" diameter. We physically inspected the pad, site looked clean.

DEP representatives - Ulyana Trynovich and Lester Taylor. JKLM representative is not present during the inspection.

2686821 Primary Facility 2018-01-25 Drilling/Alteration No Violations Noted At the time of this inspection this well has had a conductor that is 26" x 80' set , a surface casing that is 18 5/8" x 599.99' set and a 1st intermediate casing that is 13 3/8" x 2409.04' set. The Had rig 247 and crew did this drilling and setting in place these casings. This was started on 1-8-18 and finished on 1-22-18. Chris Wiley was the company present at this inspection.
2692828 Primary Facility 2018-02-06 Incident- Response to Accident or Event No Violations Noted The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) responded to notification of a release on the JKLM Headwaters 142 well pad located in Ulysses Twp., Potter Co. Spill notification #332209 was reported to the Department by Joe Harrick, JKLM on 2/5/2018 at 1600 hours with the following details. Approximately 400-500 gallons of fluid with a conductivity of 2.5 mS/cm was released to the pad surface from a freshwater storage tank leaking approximately 1-2 gpm.

I arrived onsite @1200 hours. The HAD rig is currently onsite drilling the vertical portion of the 1HU, 2HU, 3HU and 5HM wells. The weather was 22 degrees with ~3-4” of snow on the ground. JKLM representatives Joe Harrick and Jon Manuel were present for my inspection. Pipeline construction personnel discovered the leak on the rear side of the AST (Aboveground Storage Tank) at approximately 1300 hours on the previous day. A small trench had been dug below the leak and a duck pond was installed to facilitate removal of the fluid with a vac truck. The field co

2693802 Primary Facility 2018-02-12 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted I arrived with Clark Smith (Environmental Cleanups Program) to follow up on the release from the AST on the site reported on 2/5/2018. I met with John Manuel and Chris Wiley of JKLM. The HAD rig onsite had finished up drilling, and the rig and equipment were expected to be cleared from the site soon. According to John, the AST contained approximately 20,000 barrels of water when the leak started at a volume of 1-2 gallons per minute. A sump was quickly dug and lined at the leak because conductance readings of 2.5 to 3 mS/cm were found in the water. The cause of the elevated conductance has not yet been determined, but John felt that the most likely explanation was that a truck carrying produced water from the Headwaters 143 pad had mistakenly come to the 142 pad instead of the frac on the 145 pad. John was unable to provide a volume of water collected from the sump, other than to say it was more than 42 gallons. We proceeded to walk the site, and I noted a small area (2' x 2') on the rig mats where th
2703380 Primary Facility 2018-03-08 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The Department of Environmental Protection inspected the JKLM headwaters 142 well pad located in Ulysses Township, Potter County on March 8, 2018 at 1215 hrs. the weather was 27° and cloudy with snow squalls in the area. Approximately 2 to 4 inches of snow on the ground. The surface condition of the well pad was very muddy. Steve Mills, JKLM representative was on location.

And above ground storage tank (AST) containing what is labeled as freshwater is located centrally on the pad. Mr. Mills stated even though this tank is for freshwater use, it is constructed with a double liner. Constant truck traffic was observed onsite offloading freshwater into the AST. A temporary waterline carries the water to the AST on the 143 well pad, and from there it is pumped to the ongoing frack at the 145 well pad.

The aboveground storage tank that was reported leaking on February 5, 2018 has been dismantled and removed from the site. There are four waste containers observed on site. It is not clear if this material is dril

2711865 Primary Facility 2018-03-19 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted At the time of this inspection this well was top holed only. The conductor casing(25") x surface casing (18 5/8") and the surface casing(18 5/8") x intermediate casing ( 13 3/8") were vented to surface. Testing for combustable gas was done on both of these annulus vents with the results being no combustable gas detected on the conductor x surface casing (25" x 18 5/8"). And 100% LEL (lower explosion limit) and 18% Methane detected on the surface casing x intermediate 18 5/8" x 13 3/8". No other combustable gas was detected on the wellhead assembly or the well area.
2715367 Primary Facility 2018-04-04 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The Department of Environmental Protection completed a routine inspection of the JKLM Headwaters 142 well pad with Sean VanFleet, DEP Env. Protection Specialist on 4/4/2018 @ 1245 hours. The weather was 38 degrees, strong wind gusts with snow squalls in the area. JKLM is preparing for the H&P 500 rig to complete drilling of the 1HU, 2HU, 3HU and 5HU wells. Pad-wide containment and rig matting is in place. A rig mat washing station was setup along the southern edge of the containment. Cleaned rig mats were stockpiled in the southeast corner. Mud tanks were observed in secondary containment in the southwest corner of containment.

Since the frack on the HW 145 has been completed, the freshwater AST has been removed from the site. Penn E&R attempted to collect confirmatory samples to meet Act 2 guidance regarding AST release #332209, but was unable to do so due to containment. JKLM stated they are unable to collect any confirmatory soil samples at the pad until July.

No new violations are noted at this time. V

2732030 Primary Facility 2018-05-17 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted The DEP conducted a routine inspection of the JKLM – Headwaters 142 Well Pad located in Ulysses Twp., Potter Co. on 5/17/2018 @ 1145 hours. The weather was 72 degrees and sunny. Joe Huston, JKLM was present onsite for the inspection.

The H&P 500 flex rig is currently onsite drilling the 1HU well. The rig will drill 4 wells while onsite. The pad surface, containment and E&S controls were observed while onsite. All puddles located near the edge of containment on the pad surface were tested for conductivity and found to be within normal range. Fluid observed within containment was tested for field conductivity and found to be within normal range. Mr. Huston was notified that fluid appeared to be accumulating in the SW corner of the pad containment, below the STRAD tanks, due to a low spot on the pad. Mr. Huston stated he would monitor it, and remove fluid as needed to maintain adequate storage volume.

2765037 Primary Facility 2018-08-16 Incident- Response to Accident or Event Violation(s) Noted The DEP conducted an INCIDENT inspection of the JKLM Headwaters 142 well pad on 8/16/2018 @1200 hours, in response to spill report #336280. An unknown quantity of fluid was released to the ground surface from the secondary containment under the AST load/offload area. Upon further investigation by JKLM personnel, it was discovered the containment was improperly constructed. The containment was missing welds, or the pieces had been improperly welded together resulting in a failure of the containment. Also present onsite for this inspection was Korey Starkey, DEP Env Trainee; Mike Jurbala, DEP Env Trainee; Sara Metz, DEP Env Trainee; Joe Harrick, JKLM EHS GM; and Scott Blauvelt, JKLM Director EHS.

At the time of this inspection, JKLM had removed the containment from the load/offload area in front of the AST. The top 2-3" of pad material beneath the containment had been removed and placed in roll-off containers onsite. JKLM's environmental consulting contractor, Penn E&R, was onsite conducting soil conductivit

2766409 Primary Facility 2018-08-20 Routine/Complete Inspection Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd I arrived on-site and met Scott West of JKLM. Halliburton frac was active. Near the loading area for the MASS, several small puddles (1-2 gallons) were present showing elevated conductance (3.0-3.4 mS/cm). A mini excavator and vac truck were working in the area between the sitewide containment and the MASS; Terra Tokarz of Whipper Hill was guiding the excavation with a soil conductance meter. A skid steer was removing berm ramps on the back side of the pad near this area, and small amounts of water was puddling in the impressions left by the ramps; conductance readings were in the range of 9.0-9.5 mS/cm. Overall, containments appeared to be in good condition, and the elevated conductance water appeared to be related to the release from the loading area reported on 8/15/18. Outstanding violations remain for 25 PA Code 78a.56, 78a.64(a), 35 PS 691.402, and SWMA 301, and a violation is pending for 35 PS 691.401.
2768071 Primary Facility 2018-08-28 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted At the time of this inspection this well had been fractured. Some of the information was incomplete and not available at the time of this inspection. No violations were noted at this inspection.
2782842 Primary Facility 2018-09-26 Follow-up Inspection Outstanding Violations - Viols Req'd The DEP conducted a Follow-Up Inspection on the JKLM Headwaters 142 well pad located in Ulysses Twp, Potter Co. on 9/26/2018 @1200 hours. The weather was rain, 69 degrees winds NE @9mph. Personnel onsite appeared to be removing the rig matting in preparation for removing the secondary containment liner. The site was very wet due to rainfall. Multiple areas of standing water were observed on the pad surface.

The AST is still located onsite. The containment in the AST load/offload area was holding fluid with a field measured conductivity of ~300 uS/cm. Fluid was being removed from the concrete drop box in the western corner of the pad via a vac truck. An area of standing water between the AST and the western corner of the secondary containment liner had a field measured conductivity of 1.7 mS/cm. This area is being monitored for conductivity by JKLM.

JKLM plans to begin screening the pad surface and remediating the site as soon as the containment is removed. Violations of 25 Pa Code 78a.56(a), 25 Pa Code 78

2783459 Primary Facility 2018-10-03 Administrative/File Review Violation(s) & Outstanding Violations The DEP received the results from sample 4427-169, collected 8/16/2018 @1320 hours from standing fluid with a field conductivity of 2.2mS/cm in the E&S ditch off the north side of the pad.

2793596 Primary Facility 2018-10-19 Follow-up Inspection Violation(s) & Outstanding Violations The DEP conducted a Follow-up Inspection (FUI) of the JKLM Headwaters 142 well pad located in Ulysses Twp, Potter Co. on 10/19/2018 @1100 hours. The weather was overcast 42 degrees. Present for the inspection were myself, Matt Nuss, DEP WQS Supervisor, and John Ryder, DEP Oil and Gas Bureau Chief.

A work-over rig was onsite drilling out the plugs in preparation for flowback. The pad surface was very wet. Standing water and mud was observed covering most of the well pad. An onsite representative stated they had just completed "tripping out of the hole". This drill pipe was staged on supports not on containment. Standing water was observed beneath the pipes and the field conductivity was measured at 3.0 mS/cm. A violation of 25 Pa 78a.64a(c)(1) is cited at this time for failure to use secondary containment on the well site when any equipment that will be used for any phase of drilling, casing, cementing, hydraulic fracturing or flowback operations is brought onto a well site. An onsite vac truck driver was l
