Challenges
Saturated sand below 7ft. Two frac-outs at the creek bank, had to slow the pullback and add a containment berm.
Tips for the next crew
Keep annular pressure low near the bank and pre-ream in two passes. Bring extra straw wattle — the inspector will ask.

That whole bank is river deposit. Anything under 10ft there is a frac-out waiting to happen.
