My son wonders if those semi's that can barely make it up that hill to begin with will have to roll back down to get going again if they have to stop for loads going in.
Frack time could be awful if they don't pipe in the water.

Ken,

"... Farmer Bill's will be getting a lot of traffic in Gavers ..."

The Pit Stop (formerly known as Farmer Bill's) has been getting a lot of traffic from many Water Trucks. They stop for a diesel refill, sign a running tab and then drive off to the next well ...

There are no wells permits on ODNR.

There was not even a entry on the ODNR Engineer's report.

This is Hilcorp's "top-secret" well site! :-)

That is an access road for work on Teegarden Pipelin in that area. I have not seen anything that look like a pad going in around there other then Chesapeake Altenhof just east of where you are talking about.

I say let em pipe it in.

If that's the case then I think Hilcorp should help rebuild Willow Grove Park, add a walking bridge and a nice set of steps up to the bike path.  They will ruin it anyway

piping is usually the lesser burden of inconvenience (noise, dust, traffic) compared to trucking.  I'd imagine a temporary inconvenience at the the part, but who knows.  The inconvenience at the park hopefully will be less than the potential inconvenience on the road, and the park should benefit in some way.  They did say in the article Hilcorp was looking into improving the deal above their usual proposal.  Piping the water would save a lot of trucking cash.  Let's see where it goes.

They can lay a temporary water pipeline on the surface and pump it to a holding pond at the well pad. They will pick up the pipe when they are done and take it to the next job. Devon Energy did just that on their Richman Farms Medina county well last year and even crossed a road with it. They went almost a mile with that one and the temporary water pipeline was only there about a week.

Hilcorp piped water from a private lake several miles to their Salem township Grubbs well.  Seemed to go well (no pun intended.),

Have you seen something specific that Chesapeake or Hilcorp or any of these compamies have "ruined"? We have not and if we did we would call them immediately. Chesapeake is the company near us and our road was bad last fall ...emailed Canton office and received a call back a half hour later explaining our road was on the list for additional gravel the following week and then chip and seal before winter. Just chipped and sealed again two weeks ago for this winter. Just curious why you say they will ruin it as that has not been the case anywhere here that I have seen. And I have seen every well pad in Columbiana County as well as many in Carroll and the few that are in Mahoning.

> I haven't gone on Black road to see if the other pad mentioned is started.

Where is the other pad on Black road?

Wooley pad was going to be off of Black Rd.  Now it has been changed to Stuebenville Pike Rd.   As you can see in the picture. The first location was, The Black line as the entry road off of Black Rd. to the Yellow pad. The new location is the Blue line as the entry road to the White pad location.
