,, <br />G2f4rrD JCT. 3t_rM1 ~ NsQGz.-r~~..t 1?G'Poa'ti-5 <br />Inspection report <br />Umetco water monitoring well (R/W) <br />The well site was inspected on 10-11-00 by Bruce Fowler and Tony Bates, and the driller <br />(Gordon Smith) was met at the Cherokee site. Appazently, na water was encountered in the ore <br />horizon and the well will be plugged. The ore horizon was isolated with the packer, but no <br />rechazge occurred into the zone. It is not known why the Cotter drill hole drilled on the same site <br />supposedly did encounter water in the ore horizon. In any case, a report will be generated on the <br />well by Fred Peale, which will include data gathered on the upper water zones. <br />The well will be pugged on 10-12-00. The plugging will be with cement with about 3% <br />bentonite mixed in to minimize shrinkage of the cement. It will be plugged from the bottom thru <br />the drill rods, which will stay in cement at all times. The cement top will either be above the <br />uppermost water zone (Burro Canyon) or back to surface. A cement surface plug will be set. <br />The water retention pit will be left over the winter to evaporate and dry up. Then in the spring, <br />Umetco will backfill the pit and reclaim the site, probably with their front-end loader. <br />:~ <br />e <br />
