Also during this phase the remaining portion of the <br />pipeline will be completed and pumps will be installed in the remaining wells. <br />An on-site waterfowl experiment will be conducted during the late fall and early <br />winter by personnel from Colorado State University to determine the effects of <br />the salt pond on migrating waterfowl passing through the area. <br /> <br />Beginning in January 1979 and continuing until mid-1980, the second <br />phase will involve testing of the entire 18 well field to determine the most <br />efficient pumping pattern and overall pumping rate for the well field. This final <br />testing will also consist of designing and making the necessary modifications to <br />the facilities which will pump the salty groundwater from the series of wells <br />along the Dolores River in Paradox Valley, then pipe the salty groundwater to a <br />permanent stripping plant to remove the toxic gas aud on to an evaporation pond <br />for storage and evaporation. <br /> <br />The completion of the two-year testing program will provide data <br />necessary to determine the required pumping rate for development of final designs <br />for major project facilities needed to ultimately reduce the entry of salt to the <br />Dolores River by an estimated 180,000 tons annually. <br /> <br />111111111111111111111111 <br /> <br />UO 270 <br />
