.` William Pulford BLM District Manager July 9, 1985 Page Two The methods of hydrologic well completion will meet USGS standards and an illustration of hydrologic well completion is provided in the attached hydrologic project description entitled "Project Proposal CO-85-V, Colorado District - Water Resources Division". This project description has been supplied by the WRD and addresses the overall hydro- logic program in detail. Detailed water well development and abandonment information will be provided to the BLM in the form of the Abandonment Report upon comple- tion of the 1985 field activities as outlined in the stipulations of FCEL C-40288. All drill pads and access roads will be reclaimed by Getty in the manner as described in the original FCEL application. GETTY DISCLAIMS AMY LONG TERM LIABILITY REGARDING THE FINAL ABANDO~TIENT OF THE MONITOR WELLS; DATA COLLECTION OR ANALYSES. Getty will seek relinquishment of the posted compliance bond at the proper time upon expiration of FCEL C-40288. Getty will not expect any delay in bond release regarding the liability of the monitor wells. In addition to the proposed hydrologic phase of the exploration program at Har[ Syncline the 1985 program includes the approved drilling and coring program very similar to that which was conducted under a previous FCEL. The 1985 drilling and coring program consists of a total of 21 drill holes at 15 locations. The total footage to be drilled in 1985 is estimated to be 8660 feet; which includes approximately 1660 feet of core. The table entitled "1985 Drill Hole Summary" and attached map outlines the intended 1985 drill holes, their locations and estimated depths. As a result of a recent field inspection and to accommodate the interests of our FCEL participant, some of the original drill hole loca- tions previously outlined in the FCEL application have been moved to provide a more adequate data base to access the quantity and quality of the potentially surface mineable reserves. IN NO WAY DOES THE PLANNED 1985 PROGRAM EXCEED THE ORIGINAL NUMBER OF DRILL HOLE LOCATIONS OR TOTAL LENGTH OF ACCESS ROAD CONSTRUCTION COVERED BY THE AMOUNT OF COMPLIANCE BOND POSTED BY GETTY. The 1985 exploration program at Hart Syncline will be conducted under the rules and regulations in FCEL C-40288 and ss described in the original FCEL application. The drill holes not utilized as hydrologic monitor wells will be abandoned in the manner previously described in the FCEL application. The exact drill hole and access road locations will be subject to final approval through a pre-drill inspection with your agency at a later date.
