2039326 Primary Facility 2012-01-31 Follow-up Inspection Pending While inspecting the N BRA 2H, saw bubbling in cellar - full of water. Checked w/ Altair 5x gas meter - high CO(1000+ppm), about 40 ppm H2S, 100 comb gas. Had them pump out cellar. Hvy bubbling was from open valve on 5 1/2" x 9 5/8" annulus. However, I then noticed areas of less bubbling, in particular, at the spot where bubbles were previously seen while drilling, as noted in inspection report. Not sure where the bubbles were coming from, possibly from inside the 20" conductor. Will need to revisit the site after rig has moved.

2697538 Primary Facility 2018-02-23 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Two wells staged for production phase. Two each sand and water separators. No leaks detected from production equipment. No violations noted.
2854070 Primary Facility 2019-03-14 Routine/Complete Inspection No Violations Noted Arrived onsite for a routine inspection at 12:04; the weather was ~50°F, breezy, and sunny. The gate was opened when I arrived.

There were 2 properly tagged Marcellus wells staged for production. The well cellars were filled with water; no bubbling was observed. There were 2 produced water tanks, GPUs, and sand separators onsite.

The majority of the site was well vegetated and appeared stable. Multiple areas of the cut slope showed signs of slips and erosion (Photos #2-4). Some of these slips appeared older and partially stabilized however, others appeared more recent. No PCSM has been installed at this pad. There are current 2 sediment traps installed.

It is recommended that the cut slope and other susceptible areas be monitored and stabilized/repaired as needed. It is also recommended that if the site is stabilized and it is appropriate to do so an NOT and restoration report should be submitted as weather permits.

No violations noted.
