Crude Oil Soil Contamination at the Harvey 1 Well

Initial contact made by DEP Inspector, Gayne Knitowski, on March 2nd regarding oil contaminated soil in the immediate area around the wellhead. Also mentioned oil and grease on the wellhead and stuffing box. This was pre-existing condition of the well prior to acquisition by Northeast.

Jeremiah Wilt cleaned wellhead and immediate soil area around the wellhead on March 6th. Gayne was notified via email that day with accompanied pictures of site.

Gayne re-visited location on March 21st and raised concerns about remaining contaminated soil as well as berm condition of old tanks. He asked that more remediation efforts be done on contaminated soil and repair of tank berm to avoid threat of violation.

NGE Environmental onsite morning of the 22nd to obtain samples/pictures of contaminated soil and develop a plan to remediate areas of concern. Plan to pursue tilling of contaminated soil, liming, and re-seed in accordance with regulations.

02:00 PMWVProduced water haulingBlacksville

Daybrook Development arrived at the Coastal AST site to offload production water into the Coastal AST. The driver hooked up to the ground manifold and started to pressurize the line, at which point the hose between the truck and the ground manifold failed, specifically at the cam lock connection. Approximately 1 BBL of produced water was sprayed onto the ground, outside secondary containment, but remained on pad. The driver immediately shut the truck off and removed all standing water with the truck.

Calls were made to supervisors, as well as the District WV DEP Inspector. NNE's first response environmental clean-up vendor was contacted and dispatched for remediation services.

DEP Inspector agreed with NNE's reactionary measures and said there was no need to call WV Spill Hotline.

04:00 PMWVDunkard Creek to Kassay Freshwater Transfer OperationsBlacksville

At approximately 12:00 PM, while crews were transferring freshwater to Dyna Tank #1, the pressure gauge on the booster pump at the Matteo site failed. As a result, approximately 1 gallon of freshwater was released onto the ground, but within the pump's containment. The Rock Water employee manning the pump immediately shut down and notified NNE's Water Consultant. Upon investigation, it was discovered the housing for the stem of the gauge failed, not the gauge itself. Crews replaced same and resumed transferring water.

02:15 PMWVCoastal Tank FarmBlacksville

At 10:15 AM, April 3, 2017, NNE found a failure in the tank containment on the Coastal Pad. The failure was a six inch cut in the containment, which allowed standing rain water to exit onto the pad - all water released remained on the pad. Notifications were made, the water was tested and results were within the allowable parameters, a sand bag was placed on top of the cut to reduce any additional water from escaping, and crews were dispatched. Daybrook Development was called to remove all remaining water from containment, and RW Products was called to patch the failed portion of the containment.

NNE's WV DEP Inspector was called to provide a summary of the incident, and no further direction was given.

Per Site Supervisor Glenn Boyd:
One of the Flynn trucks malfunctioned overnight and they made plans to switch it out today.
A replacement truck that was apparently not road legal showed up today on a Low Boy.
The Flynn Crew transferred the fuel from the lame truck into the replacement truck.
Then they loaded the lame truck on to the low boy and removed it from location.
The Flynn Crew then spotted the replacement truck near the blender. When the pump was kicked in the swivel connection on the hose started leaking. The crew stopped transferring fuel.
We stopped operations and the entire crew started containing the fuel.
Most of the fuel was on a secondary duck pond. A small amount was on the primary containment.
All the Fuel was contained and cleaned up.
Flynn will be replacing all the oil soak pads and removing the used oil soak pads from location tonight.
It is difficult to estimate the amount of fuel lost, but it may be as much as 40 according to Flynn.
Glenn,

While performing our bore at the Jakes Run Stream Crossing we have seeped into the stream bed with our drilling mud. The mud finds a way to the surface from the bore. Bentonite is the only foreign substance in the mud. The stream is milky in color. I notified WVDEP inspector. Inspector Arrived on site at 2:10pm
Seep location was Identified. Our plan we presented to the inspector upon arrival as follows:
Build a temporary coffer dam above seep area with flume pipe. This construction practice has been approved per construction detail located on Sheet D10 of the approved NPDES plans. This is also acceptable with the ACOE due to ?discharges into waters are under 500? or 1/10th acre for each crossing? per email approval from the corps for the project.
The inspector is OK with this plan,as long as it was in the scope of our permit, coffer dam and flume will be built and operations will resume.
Hollie notified the spill hot line.

While delivering a load of fuel to location, diesel was spotted underneath the fuel truck every time he came to a stop. We followed the truck and immediately got him up on containment and placed a drip pan under the leak. Once the leak was contained we began immediate transfer of fuel from the truck to the diesel tank so we could empty out the fuel load. The drivers name was Rick Bowser (330-847-0087) driving truck #25, He is employed by Mike Ainsley (330-727-1414) of Ainsley oil and has 3 Yrs with the company, 15 years driving experience.

07:00 PMWVTemporary, aboveground waterline between Coastal and Fisher PadsBlacksville

On 11/21/17 at approximately 4:15 PM and on 11/22/17 at approximately 2:00 PM, as crews were pressure testing the temporary, aboveground waterline between Coastal and Fisher, stress fractures were discovered during the line walks. These fractures allowed freshwater to be released onto the ground. Testing was immediately halted, the line was evacuated, and repairs were made and have been scheduled. The pipe that was delivered for this installation was used previously for other transfer jobs. QAQC was performed on the pipe prior to installation, but due to the nature of these impairments, they could not have been detected until pressure was applied to the line.

On November 30, 2017 at approximately 3:15 PM, NNE employee arrived onsite at the auxiliary pad above the Fisher Pad and found hydraulic fluid released on the ground where a fusing machine had been sitting. The fusing machine was removed from site, absorbent pads were placed on the contaminated area, and a crew removed the contaminated stone and replaced with clean stone. WV DEP Inspector, Gayne Knitowski, was notified and provided no other action to take.

At 7:30 this morning a 16" temporary above ground waterline owned and operated by Rockwater, parted at a weld during frac operations on the Fisher Pad. The waterline operator had been pumping at 70 bbls/min for a couple of minutes when he noticed a drop in pressure and increase in flow rate. He immediately shut down operations to determine where the potential issue was. The break in the line was found above the Coastal Pad, along the access road that runs between the Fisher and Coastal Pads. We are estimating that 450 bbls of a 30% concentration mixture of produced and fresh water escaped and ran down the hillside and lease road. There are no streams or waterways that connect with the contaminated area. DEP inspector Gayne Knitowski was notifed at 9:00 am this morning, and visited the location. He was supportive of the actions we had taken and asked to be kept in the loop with the NGE plan of action for remediation. DEP spill hotline was contacted at 10:30 am and assigned the following reference number 31-67939. NGE has been brought in to address environmental remediation, and we are scheduling a meeting with Rockwater to address this incident.

04:00 PMWVCoastal-Campbell Access RoadBlacksville

On 12/13/17 at approximately 11:00 AM, water transfer crew members were relocating a pump from the Campbell Pad to the Dunkard Creek Withdrawal Site and upon transporting the pump, diesel fuel leaked out of the pump's fuel cell in two places along the Coastal-Campbell Access Road. Oil soak rags were immediately placed on the spill areas. The pump was taken to a level area in order to run the pump and use the extra fuel prior to transporting further on uneven terrain and potentially causing further leaking. NNE's HSE Rep and Water Rep talked with crew members about fueling with consideration of transporting pumps.

06:30 PMWVCoastal ASTBlacksville

On 12/13/17 at approximately 1:30 PM, NNE's drilling consultant observed water leaking at a flange on the discharge pipe at the AST. An estimated 2 BBL of blended water was released onto the ground, outside of containment. The water never left the well pad and did not impact any streams. NNE's HSE rep and Water rep went to site to assess situation and put containment under the leak to prevent further spreading. Water transfer crew members were immediately called to break down the flange and identify the failure. Upon breaking the flange down, it was determined the failure was a broken bolt that holds the flange together. Crew members replaced the damaged bolt with a new one, bolted the flange back up, which resolved the issue.

As we finished Coastal 6H stg 13, one of the hands called on the radio to tell us there was an FR spill. Went back and checked, a load of FR was delivered during the stage, the driver was told not to blow off until we were finished. (it causes the FR pumps to lose prime). Evidently, he left the pump running and left. I don’t know where he went. When the Producers guys found it there was a large quantity of FR on the containment, pumps, pump room and a small amount beside the containment. There is even a thin film on the side of the AST.

Driver – Richard Charles says he owns Charco Three the trucking company. Truck Tag AG 68768 Pennsylvania Trailer Tag PT 672E2, Copy of CDL attached, did not have any proof of insurance
Hauling for – Flowtek (FR supplier)

When asked why he was pumping after being told not to pump, he claimed no one told him. I believe this statement to be an absolute untruth. I asked him his name, I asked his employer and he told me Flowtek, I asked for his supervisors number and he gave me Rick Shaner 412-452-4032. I called Rick and found out Richard doesn’t work for Flowtek. I doubt almost everything the guy has told me.
It appears Richard Charles owns Charco Three (trucking company) and is self-employed.
Richard was told not to leave the pad until Producers was through with their investigation, he tried to get up the hill 3 times, powering out each time, before Producers employees got him stopped and backed off the hill.

The estimated volume at this time is 100 gallons until we know better. (really hard to tell how much some is on top of pumps.

We have captured as much as we can off of containment, cut the saturated felt up. The small amount off containment has been soaked with moss and will be picked up and contained. The containment is being cut out and repaired were it is soaked.

Hopefully, we will be back in operation within the next hour or two, as soon as the mat is repaired and the trucks re-spotted.

Bear Contracting, who is building the Cummins Pad, stores the diesel fuel to refill their equipment on the Kassay Pad in a vessel. (The Cummins Pad entrance begins at the northern end of the Kassay Pad). Woodford, a subcontractor of Bear, was offloading diesel fuel with a fuel truck via hose into the vessel.

Summary of events occurred Monday, April 15, 2019.
Spill Area Approximately 10' by 10', 50 gallons, diesel fuel.
Tracy Davis, Bear Cummins Pad Superintendent, was not on the physical location of the fuel tank. When he contacted me at approximately 12:00 PM he informed me that the truck driver/delivery man for Woodford, a subcontractor of Bear Contracting, had let the on site fuel tank overrun during this mornings fill up. This occurred at approximately 11:15 Am. The secondary containment was either overrun or spray from the full vessel was discharged onto the Kassay well pad outside of the secondary containment for the vessel . (Visual estimation of 50 gallons). It is not known how much freeboard was available in the secondary containment prior to incident. It is believed that no fuels left the Kassay Well Pad containment per Tracy Davis. Mr. Davis indicted the driver for Woodford was not cooperative in providing any information regarding the incident. Mr. Davis is to provide a detailed report via email. Also, NNE employee Jeff Wilson, was on location during the incident. Please see Mr. Wilson's comments regarding the incident via email attachment. Also see photos post incident provided by Mr. Davis.

Cleaning up location after rig was moved out.

A heavy storm rolled in that seized cleaning operations on the Bunner pad. Upon leaving the site, Sam noticed soap bubbles forming in the ditchline along the lease road. Nothing was present on the pad, only the bottom half of the lease road & culvert. It appeared to be Dawn soap, which is used to clean the rig prior to a move. Its assumed that a truck load leaving location the prior days splashed some residual soap onto the blacktop lease road. The heavy downpour agitated the soap and made bubbles visible. The DEP inspector was notified. The following morning the soap suds were not visible.

Conducting bi-monthly AST inspection.

While conducting the bi-monthly AST inspection, water was observed to be leaking on the outside of the AST and onto the ground. All water is within the AST's secondary containment and did not leave the site. The cause of the leak is undetermined at this time, until further investigation. The AST will be drained and the liner will be inspected for a failure. Once the failure is located, a repair will be made. If no failure is found, the liner will be replaced in its entirety.

Crew was on the Coastal Pad removing solids from the AST, loading into vac boxes, and making ready for transport to disposal.

After the solids removal crew loaded one of the vac boxes, it was relocated from the work area to the staging area to wait for transport to disposal. As it was being unloaded from the roll-off truck to the staging area, the hatch door wasn't fully closed and allowed some of the solids/sludge to escape and spill onto the pad, outside secondary containment.

Delivering base oil to the Cummins Pad

While delivering base oil to the HZ rig on the Cummins pad, the truck blew a radiator hose traveling inbound to the Matteo/Kassay/Cummins pads. As he reached the hilltop, he saw steam coming from under the hood. The driver continued up the hill to a safe spot to pull over just before the Matteo Pad next to the guard shack. The driver used absorbent pads to clean up the radiator fluid. Company man made several passes up and down the road searching for any additional spillage but was unable to locate any. Company man had driver back up truck, place new absorbent pads underneath, cleaned up all radiator fluid on ground, and the driver waited for mechanic to arrive to do repairs. Less than 1 gallon was visibly on the ground and was immediately cleaned up.
