Re: American Shale Oil, LLC. RD &D Project, Notice of Intent (NOI) P-2008-046,(nd Notice of

The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) has reviewed the response to the August 4,
2008 Notice of Deficiency for the Notice of Intent to Conduct Prospecting Operations (NOI), No. P-
2008-046, submitted by Western Water and Land, Inc. August 18, 2008. The application cannot be
approved until the following issues are adequately addressed. Please submit a response to the following
issues as soon as possible but no later than September 26, 2008, so the decision date of October 3, 2008
can be met. If your response, or a written request for an extension of the decision date, is not received by
September 26, 2008 then the request for the modification may be denied.
1) In Section 2.0 SURFACE WATER, on page 2, there is a typographical error or omission; "The
sites will be marked in the field, and the Global Positioning System (GPS) location of each site
will be recorded. " Please correct the sentence to state what the sites will be marked with.
2) If micro purging sampling is to be performed on wells without the use of dedicated pumps, what
will be the time interval between pump installation and sampling?
3) For the micro purge method, at what depth below the static water level will the sampling pump
be engaged?
4) For micro-purging, what changes in water quality parameters are expected during the 5-10
minute monitoring intervals and how will they affect the method and timing of sample
collection?
5) If dedicated equipment is used in micro-purging, the pump and tubing must be initially purged to
remove any stagnant water in the apparatus. Please indicate what purge methods will be used
prior to sample collection.
