• 3.2 Schedule <br />3.2.1 1997 Planned Production and Activities. <br />WRN anticipated production of approximately 75,000 tons in 1997 from cavities 2A, 4, and <br />an extension of cavity #3A (in second quarter). Mining three cavities in parallel was <br />planned for the first time in the history of the project. The plant was to be maintained on a <br />constant production schedule. Screening capacity was to be increased in the first quarter <br />by adding a fifth screen. A metal detector was to be added in the first quarter on the <br />packaging line. A second auxiliary steam boiler was to be rented in the first quarter to allow <br />adequate mining temperatures for three cavities. <br />3.2.2 Actual 1997 Production and Activities. <br />• <br />The following was accomplished in 1997: <br />a. Recovery well WRN 2A-2V was shut-in when chlorides in the recovery liquor <br />increased to a point where they adversely affected production. Equipment was pulled, with <br />some of it stored for possible use on the new cavity #1 A. <br />b. WRN 3A-SV and WRN 3A-4H were drilled as the production wells for cavity #3A. <br />Cavity #3A lies parallel to cavity #4 starting 130 feet from the lease boundary and heading <br />NNE at approximately 24 degrees. Cavity #3A was placed into production on 8/14/97. <br />• <br />7 <br />
