Jerry Daub: <br />That's in their plan. <br />• • <br />Paul Daggett: <br />What I'd like to see is the same water quality parameters everybody else is doing out there, <br />like what White River is doing and American Soda proposes to do. You'd have a short list <br />and a long list. The short list is for your monthly, and the long list could be initially or <br />annually or whatever. I wouldn't want to have a very, very short list. Then again, if you <br />guys go to commercial, you're just leaving yourself out to hang when it comes out to the <br />public. We're getting hammered on this American Soda stuff because the proposal that they <br />came to on their monitoring plan for their test. <br />Roger Day: <br />We can establish the short list. You've already gotten continuity between White River from <br />what I understand, and American Soda's long and short list, kind of established for those <br />two. Is it possible, can you make that available to us? <br />Paul Daggett: <br />I'd sure hate to have to go through all these same problems we're having now with all these <br />questions, because of missing one or two wells and not having information there. I would <br />seriously consider looking at also having the A- Groove well. <br />Roger Day: <br />Jerry, I'm ready to add the A- Groove to the dissolution, and the B- Groove. The A would <br />have continuous water level and water quality. <br />Jim Komatinsky: <br />I might add that that's Rio Blanco County's position, also. We would like to see some <br />continuity in the basin, so we can compare apples to apples and oranges and oranges, so we <br />don't have.a.lot of gobbledygook. It would be very helpful while looking at all this <br />development in the basin from a regional perspective to have similar data so we really have <br />something to compare. This area is basically drains into the water supply for half of Rio <br />Blanco County, especially the Piceance Creek rather than the Yellow Creek. When water is <br />used for agriculture, it is very important. If it becomes just even a little more saline, it might <br />eliminate the agriculture in the basin. And this basically goes into the White River drinking <br />water supply for half of Rio Blanco County. So, they would like to monitor the bulk of the <br />basin as a whole and try to maintain integrity and consistency throughout the basin. We tried <br />to do that for years with the USGS. <br />Jerry Daub: <br />To recap, we're looking at a dissolution surface well in the well field with initial water <br />quality at the time of completion and water level. <br />Roger Day: <br />Let's add to that. We would also, following the pilot operation, sample the water quality. <br />20 <br />
