I

they will, that there is a
possibility of getting some of
the water there, then we go on
with these wells that will permit
us to take samples of depth;
30, 40, and 50 feet and. on
top of the clay layer. In those
reaches, we have approximately
five wells we would like to see
pumped, to confirm the knowledge
we get out of these wells that
permit us to sample to this depth.
That line to the east of the sump
can be extended north to the Sand
Dunes road. If our present
indications of water that is within
ten or fifteen feet of. the surface
is good, there is every indication
that the water there is still
good and that it will meet Compact
requirements at this time.

I

On each individual pump test,
in accordance with practices of
the geographical surveys, Ground
Water division, I contemplated a
line of observation wells extended
up the slope that will be tested
and which would be established
in accordance with G. S. criteria.
I have gone one step further beyond
those immediately adjacent to the
well. I have had three wells at
quarter of a mile intervals. There
is a line to extend up slope. I
contemplate extending another one
down slope and similar ones at
right angles to that line which would
give us a chance to measure accurately
the effect of pumping that production
well on the ground water in that area.
I believe by having three approximately
three-quarters of a mile apart, in
four directions from well, we can establish
the effect of that well. These wells
will be sampled prior to pumping and
after pumping; likewise, the water held
by the well would be tried the same
way. I thought about eight test wells,
following the development of that data.
Then we can give a good answer to
whether the plan is feasible or not;
how far its effects will extend and the
appro~imate total quantity of water that
can be salvaged along that line which
could meet Compact requirements.
