Phase I: 1) Contact the Ohio Utility Protection Service and the Ohio Oil & Gas Producers Underground Protection Service. 2) Coordinate with the Orphan Well Inspector and the local authorities for the mobilization of equipment over the roads and bridges to the site as applicable. 3) Verify with the Orphan Well Inspector that the pre-construction staking (i.e. Construction Work Limits) has been completed by the Division. The pre-construction staking must be completed prior to mobilization. Phase II: 1) Mobilize all necessary equipment to the site and develop the site access as shown on the Drawing Plan Set. 2) Implement site safety and secondary containment as described in the Detailed Specifications. 3) Install perimeter sediment controls as required by the Division. 4) Prepare the well for plugging as described in the Detailed Specifications, “Well Head Control.” 5) Upon successful installation and approval of the wellhead and establishment of well control, the Contractor shall begin to plug the well as described in the Plugging Plan and Detailed Specifications, “Well Preparation & Plugging.” 6) No sooner than three (3) business days after placing the uppermost plug, the Division will inspect the well at surface to determine if any additional plugging work shall be required at that time. If additional work is not needed the Contractor shall cut the casing as defined in the Plugging Plan. 7) The Contractor shall set the plugged well identification as outlined in the General Specifications and Ohio Administrative Code 1501-9-11-10. Phase III: 1) Within three (3) working days after Division has determined the plugging operations are completed, the Contractor shall remove all well and well plugging-related equipment, fluids, and cuttings from the site. The Contractor shall also excavate and remove all contaminated soils present onsite if present. 2) Within fourteen (14) days after the completion of the plugging operations, the Contractor shall resoil as applicable, final grade, disc, fertilize, seed, and mulch all disturbed areas. If work cannot be complete due to the season or weather conditions, the site shall be winterized per the General Specifications, Part 9 Erosion and Sediment Control and the site restoration shall be scheduled for completion. 3) All reclamation shall be finished to an equal or better condition than what existed prior to construction. The Division shall give the final approval for the restoration of the site.
