Document Description
The proposed project will involve the drilling of one 900-foot deep test-production well. The production well will be drilled using a large truck-mounted reverse rotary drilling rig equipped with a mud pump, pipe rack, and drilling fluid holding tank/shaker system. Drilling, construction and testing will occur during October and November. Installation of pump, motor, and electric power would occur during November, December, and January. Well drilling would occur 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Additional support vehicles including a water tender, front-end loader, pipe truck, and pickup trucks will be parked on-site. The drilling rig and associated equipment will occupy an area of approximately 100 feet by 100 feet. Access for these vehicles will be directly off the adjacent paved and gravel roads. No improvements for site access will be required. Drill cuttings and inert bentonite clay, produced during drilling operations, will be spread over the site upon well completion. The surface completion will consist of an 8 by 10 feet concrete pad, pump-house enclosure and 16 inch discharge pipe. The discharge pipe will be routed underground from the drill site on the east side of Reed Orchard Road to the Deer Creek Irrigation District ditch.
