| 2704423 | Primary Facility | 2018-03-12 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Inspection in response to an Environmental Good Samaritan Project Proposal for Abandoned Well Plugging received on 2/13/2018. The proposed well plugging operation associated with well 003-22239, PGH Cut Flowers 1, is located near 4137 Bakerstown Road. No observation of accelerated erosion or sedimentation in relation to the well. The well site does not have an access road. No observation of a stream, spring, water body, wetland, or water feature in the immediate vicinity of the proposed operations that would require additional environmental permitting. The Department notes that a pond is located approximately 750’ down gradient from the well. The Department recommends that the Operator develop an E&S plan that outlines the placement and type of temporary BMPs to ensure that earth disturbance activity and related erosion and sedimentation is minimized. The operation of plugging this well will improve and not worsen the current site conditions. |
