The drilling <br />will be done in two phases, Phase I consisting of 13 holes (A -M), and Phase II consisting of 8 <br />holes (N -U). NSI does not intend to drill all 21 holes. Drilling order will be approached in such a <br />manner that some holes will only be drilled if insufficient or unexpected data is collected from <br />previously drilled holes. Instead of drilling Phase I & II over a 3 to 4 year period, both Phase I & <br />II will be completed in 2014. <br />The majority of the core holes will be drilled and immediately plugged back and abandoned, and <br />the locations reclaimed. A select few of the core holes will be plugged back and completed as <br />ground water monitoring wells. We plan to permit the 21 locations for 2 holes with the second <br />hole as a contingency in case problems are experienced with the primary hole. Attached is the <br />documentation describing the program in more detail, well locations, a map of proposed <br />locations, well construction, reclamation plans, etc. <br />Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me at (970) 254 -1224 or (970) <br />216 -1010 (c), or Bob Warneke at (970) 3554590. <br />Regards, <br />er,G ald J.
