Tested the RR1 header for air leaks by applying vacuum at the flare. Then tested the quality of gas at the flare to monitor for air leaks. The RR1 header showed low 02, which meant the work had been successful. Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter. Due to construction at Condensation pump station the Flare was shut down from 8:30am to 12:00pm. CLF crew along with cornerstone worked on CLF EW-73. We were able to dig up the vault and piping so we could pitch the water back into the gas well. This removed our blockage from the area and we were able to acquire more gas. At 8:30am the Flare was shut down for ongoing construction. Then on May 14th the Flare was able to be restarted. Collected data on CLF and RR1. Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter. Auto dialer was installed for the Flare. Collected data on CLF and RR1. Flare shut down at 2:45am due to power outage. Monitored the restart of the Flare at 7:15am. Shut Flare down at 9:00am. During the shut we changed the IP address, reset the PID, and backed up all settings. Monitored the restart of the Flare at 10:30am. Flare was down at 5:30am due to power outage. Monitored the restart of the Flare at 7:00am. Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter CLF crew and cornerstone replaced RR1 valve at Flare. This is only a temporary fix until we buy the correct valve. Collected data on CLF and RR1. Shut down the Flare so they could perform a final test on the Condensation pump station. Testing was successful and the pump station was back on line. Flare went down at 3:30am due to power outage. The Flare had issues restarting but with the help of cornerstone by phone call we were able to trouble shoot and locate the problem. After we had cleaned the lower UV sensor the Flare was able to restart. We monitored the restart at 10:30am. 2015 Work and Activity Performed August 10, 2015 August 13, 2015 • • • August 14, 2015 • August 17-19, 2015 August 20, 2015 • • September 9, 2015 • September 16-17, 2015 • • • September 21, 2015 • September 22-23, 2015 • • September 24, 2015 • October 7, 2015 • October 9, 2015 • • • October 13, 2015 • October 14, 2015 • • • Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter. Removed water from vaults on RR1 then proceeded to collect data. CLF crew received training from cornerstone on proper well field data collection. During the training they collected the data for RR1. CLF crew continued collecting data on CLF. CLF crew went to East Brunswick Landfill for HDPE pipe fusing training. Shut Flare down for installation of G.E. quick panel. Once work was completed we monitored the restart at 1:30pm. Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter. During the construction rehabilitation of the Ballfield pump station a spill occurred. At 1:15pm a CLF crew member noticed that a bypass from the pump station had been spilling into the trench. We then proceeded to clean up the spill and contact the DEC. The spill is reported as number 1506400. CLF crew along with the direction of Cornerstone took bar samples along CLF and RR1. During these tests they found pockets of CH4 along the Northwest side of CLF. Cornerstone will follow up with a report and recommendations to solve the issue. Collected data on CLF and RR1. During data collection the north header was turned back on to counter act CH4 from escaping the limits of CLF. Flare was down at 1:15pm due to power outage. Monitored the restart of the Flare at 1:30pm. Checked area Northwest of CLF for levels of CH4. Readings remain the same even with pulling form the North header. Greased blowers and exercised valves at Flare. Took monthly readings of flow meter. Sounded CLF EW-1 through EW-24 gas wells on the North header for water, to see if that was obstructing gas flow. Cornerstone instructed us to dig test pits at the points of high levels of CH4. The test pits reviled little to no garbage but had higher amounts
