Operator failed to give 24 hour Spud Notification. A violation is being issued under Pa. Code 25 3211(f) for failure to notify the Dept. 24 hours prior to commencement of drilling. Department recommends adding additional rock to access road entrance. There were various changes to the E&S plan. Although not required to be pre-approved by the Dept. for this site, BMP's were removed and replaced with unlined, unvegetated ditches. A violation under Pa. Code 25 102.11(b) is being issued for failure to adequately demonstrate to the Dept. that alternate BMP's will minimize erosion and sedimentation or manage stormwater as well as or better than original BMP's as per E&S plan. Dept. unable to locate seasonal high groundwater table data for site. Since below-grade pit may have encroached SHGWT, Dept. is requesting operator submit SHGWT information. Additional violations may be forthcoming if Operator is unable to verify pit does not encroach SHGWT.
2207656 Primary Facility 2013-09-24 Routine/Complete Inspection Violation(s) & Outstanding Violations Drilling appears complete. Well not yet equipped for production. Orange security fence surrounding pit has been compromised in several locations. Dept. noticed sides of pit are not smooth and uniform nor free from debris, rock or other material and this has led to several punctures and tears on the liner. Most notable is a tear in the middle of the pit on the side nearest to the well. And time of inspection, pit contained drill cuttings and fluids. As a result, violations are being written. As noted in previous inspection, the Dept. requests all disposal records and manifests pertaining to pit contents and data regarding seasonal high groundwater table. Operator is reminded to temporarily stabilize topsoil pile/well site until permanent stabilization is achieved and site is restored.
2211974 Primary Facility 2013-10-07 Routine/Complete Inspection Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd At time of inspection, well drilled but not equipped for production.

Dept. recommends temporarily stabilizing site including topsoil pile.
2219179 Primary Facility 2013-10-29 Follow-up Inspection Outstanding Violations - No Viols Req'd At time of inspection, well equipped for production. Brine tank appears stable. Topsoil pile has been used to cover site with the exception of a small area that is covered with stone. The Dept. spoke to a representative regarding site conditions and the encapsulation of the pit. Dept. recommends replacing well tag. Access road is in good condition. Operator has agreed to mail the Dept. sample results of drill cuttings and to excavate soils near pit to determine depth of seasonal high groundwater table. Also discussed with representative were outstanding violations, the reasoning for their issuance, and how to avoid similar violations in the future. Outstanding violations still exist, no new violations at this time.
