Descriptions and sample results are included in this response. Since the regulations do not pertain to outcrop features, survey of rock outcrops will not be performed. Olson Well The piping diagram at the wellhead of the Olson Well is sketched below. This well is a "flowing artesian" type well. . = gate valve overflow to stock pond ~ e to house faucet at wellhead well case The wellhead and the gate valve bodies (not the wellhead faucet) are cased with cement and are in good condition. No cracking was observed. The piping is in a shallow (one to two feet) pit, lined with cement blocks. Insulation and boards are placed on top of the pit. The cement blocks were in good condition and no cracking was observed. The overflow to the stock pond valve is left open slightly during the winter to prevent freezing. Flow measurements are obtained by closing the gate valve to the house and then opening the stock pond valve. After five minutes have passed, a flow measurement is taken at the black poly pipe at the stock tank. Flows measured were 19.3 gpm on September 13, 1989 and 19.5 gpm on November 1, 1989. Also attached are laboratory analyses for September 30, 1985 and September 13, 1989 and a copy of the well completion. The permit number for the well is 81CW122, filed November
