Squire, Reclamation Specialist <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />RE: WRNM Nahcolite Project <br />Pernut No. M-83-194 <br />Dear Mr. Squire: <br />RECEIVEf~ <br />OCT 24 1994 <br />Division of Minerals & Geology <br />I >\ ' ~Q~ <br />Per my phone conversation with your office, White River Nahcolite Minerals <br />(WRNM) hereby submits a Technical Revision to Permit No. M-83-144. The <br />first request is for approval of new horizontal well pads on south end of solution <br />mining well field. The enclosed map illustrates new pad WRNM 4-3H and <br />access road/product pipeline near Section 26, south boundary line. The new <br />areas for disturbance in 1994 would total 2.8 acres (1.7 ac. for WRNM 4-3H <br />pad and 1.1 ac. for access road and pipeline). As a result of the success in <br />drilling 2000 foot cavity #3, WRNM plans to drill 3500 feet for cavities #4 and <br />5. Therefore, the second request is approval to drill 3500 feet for cavities #4 <br />and 5. The 1995 disturbance would include area for future horizontal well <br />associated with cavity #5, and would disturb a total of 3.1 acres. <br />The enclosed map "Site Plan for 1994" illustrates disturbed areas (prior to 1994), <br />and planned 1994 disturbed areas. The 1994 disturbed areas include: monitoring <br />well 26-94-1M over cavity #3 which was completed under technical revision <br />approved March 22, 1994; and this technical revision for new well WRNM 4- <br />3H. The two vertical wells associated with cavity ##4, wells WRNM 4-1V and <br />4-2V are within permitted areas for 1994 disturbance. The 1995 area planned <br />for disturbance would be for another horizontal well (cavity #5) running parallel <br />to cavity #4. <br />Total disturbed acreage to date is 49.2 acres of the permitted 73 acres. The new <br />well WRNM 4-3H with a pad of 250' X 300', plus access road 32' X 1434' <br />would increase disturbed acreage by 2.8 acres in 1994. Another 3.1 acres would <br />be disturbed in 1995 for a total of 55.1 acres. The 1995 horizontal well would <br />White River Nahcolite Minerals, LlmJted_~. IIIty Company <br />P. O.
