Don, looks good, heres a few details added in bold. July 11, 2014 Range Resources notified the DEP of elevated chloride levels detected by one of its groundwater monitoring wellsJuly 21, 2014 Range Resources conducted sampling at the siteThe DEP plans to send inspectors to the impoundment site next week and will take its own samples from the groundwater monitoring wells and leak detection equipment. DEP does intend to contact property owners who are closest to and down gradient of the impoundment to determine if they would provide DEP access to their property to conduct sampling of their wells.Lab testing usually produces results in 30-45 daysThe DEP will not make a general notification to residents. However, if DEP determines that groundwater may have been impacted, then DEP will require a comprehensive investigation of the groundwater including an assessment of private water wells with the potential to be impacted.The groundwater standard for Chlorides is based on odor and taste thresholds. If private groundwater has been impacted, it is very likely complaints would have been made to DEP re: odor and taste changes. DEP has no current well water complaints filed by nearby property owners.

Attached is DEPs reply to your letter dated July 10th. It has been placed in the mail today. I apologize for any delay. Thank you,Brian Brian SchimmelLocal Government Liaison Department of Environmental ProtectionSouthwest Regional Office 400 Waterfront DrivePittsburgh, PA 15222-4745 Phone: 412.442.4199Fax: 412.442.4194 www.dep.state.pa.us ==
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Poister, John Date: Friday, August 1, 2014 Subject: Cecil Township To: "Amanda ([email protected])" With regard to your inquiry:
DEP was notified of elevated chloride levels in one of its groundwater monitoring wells on July 11. On July 21st Range did additional sampling on the site. DEP will have inspectors on site next week to take our own samples from the groundwater monitoring and leak detection system at the impoundment. We do intend to contact property owners who are closest to and down gradient of the impoundment to determine if they would provide DEP access to their property to conduct sampling of their wells.
Samples will be analyzed for a wide range of inorganic and organics as well as other compounds. These lab tests generally take between 30 and 45 days to complete.
If DEP determines that groundwater may have been impacted, the DEP will require a comprehensive investigation of the groundwater including an assessment the private water wells with the potential to be impacted.
DEP has not had any complaints from private water well owners in the vicinity of the impoundment.

Sampling was conducted in response to a complaint placedon Septemb er 26,20i2 where it was statei thit the water had a rotten egg smetl' ESL sampledyour water source on October l, 2012. Testing included the analysis of parameters for bothprimary (health-based) and secondary (non-healt[ based, aesthetic or nuisance-causing) drinkingwater standards. A test for hydrogen sulfide was also added to the list of parameters due to the'rotten egg' smell. There *u, no indication of hydrogen sulfide in the sample results'
This report indicates that your water source met most of the minimum requirements for the,orr,, irimary drinking waier standards on the date that sampling was conducted'
The following palameter was found outside of the primary drinking water standards:
Total Coliform
The following parameter was found outside of the secondary drinking water standards:
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
please note that two additional parameters, strontium and magnesium' were reported above the
maximum normal value for Western pennsylvania. There is no primary or secondary drinkingwater standard for strontium or magnesium'
Your source was also sampled on September 20,2010 before construction of the worstellImpoundment started. The results from the 2010 sample and the current results' 2012'
were
compared. It does not appear your source has changed, except for seasonal fluctuations' from the2010 sampling.
