JKLM ENERGY PROJECT UPDATE, SEPTEMBER 26
No Isopropanol Present in Sixteen Additional Water Wells Near Drilling Location
WEXFORD, Pa. (Sept. 26) – JKLM Energy, LLC issued the following update to the public regarding the company’s continuing response to the release of drilling chemicals at its Sweden Township, Potter County wellpad. These updates and related information are available at a project-specific website:
As of September 25, 2015 JKLM Energy, LLC received an additional 16 lab results from water sources near the Reese Hollow 118 wellpad. Isopropanol, the chemical of principal concern in regard to the release from the drill site, was not detected in any of the 16 samples. A total of 23 lab results have been received to date, all testing below state Act 2 levels for isopropanol.
JKLM has added methylene blue activated substances (MBAS) to its list of sampling parameters to determine if other components of the surfactant and foaming agent are present in water wells and springs. Lab results for five wells that presented foamy characteristics were sampled for MBAS, along with isopropanol.
Isopropanol was not detected in four of those samples, and was present in the fifth at 15 parts per million, which is at Pennsylvania’s Act 2 standard for aquifers serving residential uses.
All five wells tested above recommended levels for MBAS, which was expected, given the presence of foam in the water.
MBAS detects anionic surfactants and is a non-health based secondary drinking water standard under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations, primarily in reference to the aesthetics of drinking water.
The company has provided temporary potable water and will continue to install replacement water supplies at the landowners’ convenience. As the surfactant continues to disperse and degrade, and microbial degradation occurs in the aquifer, the company anticipates MBAS will fall below the recommended levels.
JKLM is continuing to work closely with local officials as well as the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to limit the release’s impact to the community and restore the local water aquifer to pre-drilling quality.
Local residents with questions may contact Dean Boorum, JKLM's community liaison, at (814) 598-3960 with questions.

Clymer Dispatched To House Fire At Hunt Residence In Ulysses
At 9:53 PM on Friday, Clymer Fire Dept. has been dispatched to send additional personnel to the structure fire at the Hunt residence on Water Street in Ulysses.
O.R. Phase I Complete at Cole Memorial
“The surgical suite upgrades represent another way that Cole Memorial is committed to providing excellent care for our patients and the community,” said Cole Memorial’s Director of Surgical Services Karen McClelland. “The new efficient layout and additional space will improve patient satisfaction and privacy, as well as create a positive work environment for staff.”
Christan Caramia, MD, medical director of Invasive Services at Cole Memorial said, “The overall renovation project will make a difference for surgeons, staff and patients when done. Besides the emotional boost of practicing in a new, state-of-the-art environment, much effort was placed on the work-flow and patient flow, resulting in a more functional, efficient and spacious O.R. area. We now have three bigger operating rooms to allow for larger cases and the expansion of surgical services in the future. All this translates to better patient care.”
Phase two of the project includes renovation of the past O.R. suites including the endoscopy unit, interventional pain service area and the installation of new equipment. According to Karen McClelland, no interruptions in surgical care will occur and the entire project is expected to be done in February 2016.
“Among the best reasons for choosing Cole Memorial’s surgical department, is the recognition that, to complement our beautiful facility, we continue to build a culture that cares (about patients and the people we work with) and that team-based care matters,” added Dr. Caramia. “This balance will allow us to continue to deliver excellent patient care and be a rural health care success story for years to come.”
For almost 50 years, Cole Memorial has been a regional leader in providing high-quality and advanced inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures. Their team of highly-skilled and experienced general surgeons and physicians specialize in surgeries for gastroenterology, obstetrics & gynecology, orthopedics, pain management, podiatry, ophthalmology, urology, and more.
For more information about surgical services at Cole Memorial, call 814-274-1259 or visit www.colememorial.org.

JKLM ENERGY, LLC TO PROVIDE DAILY UPDATES TO COMMUNITY ON PROJECT WEBSITE
No Isopropanol Present in Six of Seven
Initial Water Samples Closest to Drilling Location
WEXFORD, Pa (Sept.25) – JKLM Energy, LLC today announced plans to issue daily updates to the public regarding the release of drilling chemicals at its Sweden Township, Potter County wellpad.
These updates, along with previous press releases and related information, are now available at a project specific website, www.northhollowresponse.com.
As of September 24, 2015 JKLM Energy, LLC received lab results from seven water sources that had potential groundwater contamination.
These results included four of the five private water wells either nearby or with foamy characteristics for the presence of isopropanol, the chemical of principal concern in the incident, which was not detected in those four wells. The material was also not detected in samples collected from two springs located in the area of the investigation.
The private well with foamy conditions and closest to the drill site contained 15 ppm (parts per million) isopropanol, which is at Pennsylvania’s Act 2 standard for aquifers serving residential uses. These sampling results are consistent with the belief that the aquifer would continue to disperse and degrade the isopropanol as it is transported through the aquifer by means of normal water flow.
JKLM attended a Sept. 24 public meeting at the Gunzburger Building in Coudersport to inform local officials and citizens about the release and to answer any questions and concerns that they had.
The company is continuing to test water wells and sources in the potentially affected area and will keep the public apprised of the general lab results as they are received. Due to privacy concerns, JKLM will not disclose property-specific water well results without the permission of the property owner.
The company also took water samples to test for potential concerns at the Hershey Pond, located just off of Route 6 east of Coudersport.
JKLM is continuing to work closely with local officials as well as the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to limit the release’s impact to the community and restore the local water aquifer to pre-drilling quality.
Local residents with questions may contact Dean Boorum, JKLM's community liaison, at (814) 598-3960 with questions.

JKLM ENERGY, LLC STATEMENT ON WATER SAMPLING PROGRAM
No Isopropanol Present in Five of Six Initial Well Water Samples Closest to Drilling Location
WEXFORD, Pa. (Sept.25) – JKLM Energy, LLC today announced laboratory results from six water sources that had the potential for groundwater contamination. These results included four of five private water wells with foamy characteristics for the presence of isopropanol, the chemical of principal concern in the incident, which was not detected in those four wells.
The material was also not detected in a sample collected from a spring located in the area of the investigation.
The private well with foam closest to the drill site contained 15 ppm (parts per million) of isopropanol, which is at the Act 2 standard for aquifers serving residential uses. This is consistent with the belief that the aquifer would continue to disperse and degrade the isopropanol as it is transported through the aquifer by means of normal water flow.
A claim made that two public water supplies have been “impacted” by this incident misrepresents facts and is spreading unnecessary concerns. JKLM is working closely with the Coudersport Borough Water System, the Charles Cole Memorial Hospital and other entities to ensure their water supply is both safe and adequate. The company also continues to share all information about water sampling results with the borough, the hospital and other stakeholders.
A second claim, that the chemical involved in this incident is “typically used for fracking infiltrated shallow and subsurface groundwater aquifers” is also inaccurate. This natural gas well was not being hydraulically fractured, and these surfactants are commonly used when developing wells on compressed air during the early stages of drilling.
While the surfactant involved is used in certain stages of drilling natural gas wells, it is not on the list of materials approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for use at this point in the drilling process.
JKLM is reviewing the procedures that resulted in the use of the material and will provide that information to the DEP.
Water sampling is continuing at sources that have the potential to experience impacts. Those results will be shared with the community through a daily update provided by JKLM and posted on a project website, which will be available to the public shortly.
