Narrative:

Aircraft was cleared for takeoff on runway 12. After gear retraction and climbing through approximately 700 ft AGL-3100 ft MSL, the #1 engine made several compressor stalls in rapid succession, then experienced complete loss of thrust. Pilot operating manual procedures were initiated for engine failure precautionary shutdown-severe damage, and an emergency was declared. After clean-up and climb to safe pattern altitude, we entered a r-hand visual pattern for landing on runway 2. The visual approach and landing on runway 2 were uneventful. After landing and turnoff, we stopped the aircraft for close inspection by local fire company and conversed with fire marshall on VHF. We were told no hazardous conditions were noted in vicinity of failed #1 engine, and were subsequently cleared to taxi to the terminal for deplaning.
