April 22, 1999 • <br />6.9.3 Process Monitoring <br />• Pnge 26 <br />Ifchanges in physical parameters at theproduction stream indicatea formation failure, cavity <br />breach, or production well breach, the BLM and EPA will be notified within the next BLM working <br />day and the following procedures will be initiated. <br />1. The well pressure, temperature, and flow rate instrumentation will be checked for <br />accuracy. <br />2. The well valves will be checked for possible leakage. <br />3. Injection into the solution mining well will be discontinued and the density of the <br />fluids in the well will be balanced. <br />4. All tubing, strings, and annular areas between well strings will be pressure tested <br />with nitrogen gas to hydrostatic pressure to ensure the mechanical integrity of the <br />tubing. <br />5. A temperature log will be performed to determine if there is any significant <br />temperature change above the nahcolite-bearing zone. <br />6. The results from these procedures will be evaluated to determine the best solution for <br />correcting the problem. The use of additional logging techniques may be required <br />to accwately pinpoint any mechanical failures. <br />7. BLM and EPA will be notified of the results of the evaluation and the proposed <br />corrective actions to be taken. <br />7.0 REPORTING <br />A groundwater and surface water monitoring report will be submitted to the BLM monthly. <br />The report will contain results of process monitoring, discharge measurements, quality analyses, <br />water levels, etc., available for that reporting period. The monthly report will contain a map(s) of <br />data collection locations, lists of location coordinates, and a summary of pertinent observations <br />during the reporting period. <br />Agapito Associates, Inc. <br />
