A Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) inspector showed up at Stonehaven Energy's Class IID "Latshaw 9" oil and gas wastewater injection well in Cranberry Township, Venango County, on Nov. 27 for a routine inspection. He found the well is not in use and hasn't been in use since March 2023. The well was inspected in March 2024, yet no violations were issued at that time. However, the inspector tagged the well with a violation on Nov. 27, claiming the well had been "abandoned."
