The data may suggest alternative refilling scenarios to <br />consider, and will be pertinent to landowners with an interest in the availability of <br />groundwater resources. The data could be supplied by MWNW if it proves possible to <br />remove the "blockage ", or by a new well; these are the abatement options for NOV CV- <br />2013 -002, and are in accordance with the currently approved water monitoring plan. The <br />Division does not intend to extend the scope of the water monitoring plan in the future, (in <br />the form of additional wells, for example). <br />If a replacement well is to be drilled EFCI should submit a plan to the Division before any <br />work is undertaken, detailing the proposed location and construction. <br />If the well is found to be dry a single measurement would suffice. If water is encountered <br />EFCI should collect data from the well in accordance with the requirements of the <br />approved water monitoring plan and of rule 2.04.7(1). <br />Following the abatement of NOV CV- 2013 -002 EFCI should update Exhibit 25 with an MR. <br />
