Paul Daggett: <br />You know, you take one sample after you drill the well, it comes to back to you like a water <br />sample is already taken. One sample, you know, I don't know how good you feel about a <br />baseline all in one sample. Then you go in afterwards and at the end of your Phase One in <br />5 years and take another sample —what if it's different? I think it's a pretty cheap security. <br />• • <br />Roger Day: <br />Once you put the sampler there, I don't mind using it, as long as it doesn't plug. <br />Harry Posey: <br />We'd require baseline water quality. Right now we require it over five quarters, and given <br />the way we look at it, that five quarters amounts to eight samples within those five quarters. <br />The requirements we're looking at is an extensive list. If you look at the aquifer for its use, <br />certainly the shallow aquifers have an undisputed use as drinking water and agricultural uses. <br />The list of regulated parameters for agricultural and drinking water is pretty long. I think it's <br />to your advantage to define the worst water quality within that baseline period, to know that <br />it's there. Then, if you come up with a problem, say with USDW, if you can show that your <br />baseline values were higher during one quarter or during one season, then it's certainly to <br />your advantage to have that information. So, even though eight samples are probably a <br />minimum for our requirements, having a lot more than that is not going to hurt. <br />Allen Sorenson: <br />Paul, if you have five quarters, and you're saying you're going to do monthly, you're going <br />to;have.13:samples, at a minimum: What's the schedule for initial injection? You have to <br />build your surface facilities and drill your holes, obviously. Can you get all of your baseline <br />data before your ready to go into your pilot plant. <br />Roger Day: <br />We could get four quarters, but not five. <br />Allen Sorenson: <br />Well, the thing about the fifth quarter is, all you have to do is get down to that first day of the <br />13 month. <br />Roger Day: <br />We could probably do that. We're anticipating surface work in the first part of September of <br />this year, depending on how long the UIC permit process takes for the injection wells. We <br />want to have the monitoring wells installed sometime this fall. We need to work with the <br />BLM to get that drilled and completed before we start the operations. <br />Allen Sorenson: <br />Yes, I think you want to get all the agencies satisfied with the location so that you can get <br />them in the ground. <br />Jerry Daub: <br />That's what we're talking about. We're talking about in the well field at the point of <br />RS- 96 -20 -1. <br />22 <br />
