Also visible <br /> just above the large reclaimed pad to the left in the photo is the blended path of the former main access road <br /> which curved down around the backside of the large pad. Just off to the left of the upper corner of the pad is <br /> the former 21-4 co-located and multiple completion ground water monitoring well pad. All ground water wells <br /> were plugged and abandoned and the pads and access roads were reclaimed by the end of 2016. Photo taken <br /> June 2017. <br /> Photo 6, on the following page, shows a close up of the vegetation growth from seed drilled <br /> late last year. A high percentage of rock can be seen in this view which is from one section of <br /> the former main well field road. The disturbed road area was contoured to match the existing <br /> ground contours but the majority of the road follows up on top of the ridge so it is not steep <br /> and should retain moisture. The ridge top is also exposed to wind and direct sunlight so <br /> establishment of vegetation in these areas will be greatly aided by keeping traffic off of the <br /> reclamation until it can recover from occasional impact. These newly reclaimed soils do not <br /> tend to compact but are loose and develop a very thin crust. <br /> Solvay Chemicals, Inc.. 6 <br /> DRMS Annual Report <br /> July 12, 2017 <br />
