Data from these wells <br /> will be furnished separately to be included with this report. However the levels <br /> for the Hill mw has trended up since the January 25th measurment. <br /> > On July 8, 2016 Superior Oilfield ceased pumping operations for the west cell on <br /> the site and removed the pump on July 18, 2016. During that short time frame the <br /> water level in the cell has come up approx. three feet over most of the floor. <br /> We believe that this will begin to recharge the area in question and start to raise <br /> the water level in Mr. Tyrell's well allowing for it to return to normal operation <br /> over time. <br />
