Andrew Hobbins, Water Quality Specialist, represented the Department. Nobody was present for Repsol.

Andrew Hobbins represented the Department. There were multiple people on site at the Bucks Hill well site in support of the fracking operation on the neighboring Hemlock Vally Well Pad. There is a freshwater above ground storage tank on the Bucks Hill Well Pad that receives freshwater from the Alderson Freshwater Impoundment through a temporary above ground HDPE pipeline. The sight is also being used to stage trucks for the frack as well.
