<br />CC1681 <br /> <br />This phase may result in an identification of certain existing geological/biological conditions <br />where water production from wells is not economically feasible based on present technology, <br /> <br />3, Additional Data Collection, The third approach of this program to regain production <br />capability would be the enhancing of our knowledge and understanding of the well clogging <br />problem(s) and assuring that the focus ofthe rehabilitation efforts is correct. To this end, a <br />number of the items identified by Dr, Hernandez in his final report on the Evaluation of Salvage <br />Well Production Problems would be addressed, Particular emphasis would be given to testing <br />levels of dissolved oxygen in the wells, analyzing for assimilable organic carbon, determining <br />the oxidation states of several elements, and including phosphorus determination in the chemical <br />analyses, <br /> <br />Need for Additional Resources <br />Funding a program ofthis magnitude will have a large i~pact on the project's operating budget <br />in this and succeeding fiscal years, The amount of $250,000 has been earmarked from this year's <br />electric power funding to initiate the chemical and heat treatment remediation studies, Addition <br />funds will be sought. <br /> <br />Preliminary estimates of costs for the foregoing program are: <br />Chemical Well Remediation $IO,OOO/well x 10 = $100,000 <br />Heat Treatment Remediation ? x 2 = $ ? <br />Well Replacement $30,000/well x 8 = $ 240,000 <br />Additional Water Chemistry Testing $50,000 $ 50,000 <br />Preventive Maintenance and Monitoring Initial funding $100,000 <br />AFD Labor Costs chemist/well maintenance $100,000 <br />TSC Labor Costs $125,000 (lFTE) $125,000 <br />Total $715,000 <br /> <br />Note: Expenditure offunds will extend into FY99, <br /> <br />As noted some funds are available to begin this effort this year. As well capacities improve, <br />more power money will be required to produce water and will not be available for remediation, <br />Therefore funding to sustain this effort in the years beyond FY 2000 will have to be incorporated <br />in the budget process and the long range annual operating costs ofthe project will have to be <br />
