~! <br />Production wells 91-1V and 91-2H were completed in 5/93, and monitoring well 93-2M <br />was completed 12/93. Production wells and 93-4H completed 3/94, were utilized <br />for production from cavity #3. Production well 91-2H was modified in 1994 to serve as <br />an injection and recovery well. Monitoring well EX-2 was cleared to remove lines which <br />were plugged with solids. Sample lines, access tubing, and several pressure transducers <br />were removed. EX-2 will be utilized as an open hole until water quality permits re- <br />installation of water quality sampler. Process and hydrology monitoring reports were <br />submitted throughout 1994. Operations at WRN were essentially continuous throughout <br />1994 to meet market demands. <br />2.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA <br />2.1 Location and Regional Setting <br />L <br />The WRN sodium leases (~I) are located in the Piceance Creek Basin, Rio Blanco County <br />of northwestern Colorado (see Figure 2-1).
