George Patterson of Energy Fuels Coal Inc was also present during the <br />inspection. Also present was John Rutherford who delivered 1500 gallons of water to the site for <br />testing purposes. The water was sourced from a hydrant at John's shop. Ground conditions were <br />dry and the weather was clear and mild. <br />The reason for the inspection is in response to a citizen request under Rule 5.02.5 regarding <br />possible damage or dysfunction of ground water monitoring well MW -NW, which is part of the <br />currently approved ground r <br />water monitoring program <br />under the Southfield permit #C- <br />81 -014.
