<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />D. A construction firm will be hired to drill, complete, and test the disposal <br /> <br />well. Test results will be evaluated and used to determine if the <br /> <br />disposal formation has adequate capacity for injecting 900 gpm within <br /> <br />reasonable operating pressures. The remaining disposal system design will <br /> <br />also be based on these results, such as number of wells, well spacing, <br /> <br />pumping plant size, and treatment requirements. <br /> <br />E. The permanent disposal well system and remaining project features will be <br /> <br />designed concurrently with completion and approval of planning report <br /> <br />supplements and NEPA requirements. <br /> <br />NEPA Procedures <br /> <br />Based on the Final Environmental Statement filed in 1979 a Categorical <br /> <br />Exclusion will be filed to cover the initial injection well drilling and <br /> <br /> <br />testing. This is still a testing phase to determine the final recommended <br /> <br /> <br />brine disposal method. After the final disposal method is determined, planning <br /> <br /> <br />reports will be supplemented and an Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared. <br /> <br /> <br />Comments on the EA will determine whether an EIS supplement is needed or a <br /> <br /> <br />Finding of No Significant Impact will be adequate. Based on initial response <br /> <br />from the public and concerned agencies environmental problems appear to be <br /> <br />minimal. <br /> <br />Brine Collection Well Field Development <br /> <br />OV540 <br /> <br />Brine inflow control is continuously being evaluated and steps to improve it <br /> <br />are ongoing. Twenty three production wells have been constructed and tested to <br /> <br />date. Nineteen were originally constructed and 5 new wells were completed in <br /> <br />., . c,:-:~ ,F~",;-,::",:":::~"';'i.;{:-\'itr:'-J!.,~.v_,.."T,.,.,~,~~::,,~":~~!;.;;:<_~l;:i:,,:.~J.-,}'~,>.' _,;,;;;~'?;,l;iJ;<",'>""!.f:~';;'3\~.lr'"",,c l:~".;?-"; r--,:'?7~'!~;.:,;"._.",._-~.. _',~'_:-:':t";:~;!r!JJ;<_" <",,,_...tM'I."",:'-~'~ ,:,T';,-:-':~~"fi."Tff.r:\:'..'''5";;..~,;~',);'7:~;~;---;T'''';''':<:P_--;:''':?,,.err"" <br />
