ATTACHMENT P:MONITORING PROGRAM implemented during the 2007 testing are included in Appendix 8. The specific steps in this program are summarized below: • Record a continuous Temperature Log from the surface to total depth while the well is on injection. • Perform a Pressure Falloff Test by recording pressures immediately prior to and following well shut-in. • Record a continuous static Temperature Log from total depth to the surface following the Pressure Falloff Test,prior to resuming injection. • Conduct the annular pressure test • Analyze the logging and tests results;prepare and submit an Annual Report that includes calculated values of static pressure,transmissivity, and skin factor for the injection zone,an explanation of the probable cause(s) and the recommended remedial action for any significant changes,and an assessment of whether the injected water is indicated to have been confined to the intended injection zone. Each year,MIT procedures for the annual test will be provided to USEPA prior to conducting the test. Injection Fluid Monitoring/Reporting Program Continuously Recording Monitor Devices Continuous monitoring devices will be installed and used to record the temperature, injection pressure,flow rate, and volume of fluid injected. These devices will also be inspected during each work shift to confirm that they are operating properly. Daily and monthly minimum, average,and maximum values for these four parameters will similarly be compiled monthly and reported quarterly. Meters and valves will be installed to enable the STIG-1 and LEC-1 wells to act as'back up wells' to the other. These meters will record the rate at which injection fluid from one system is transferred to and injected by the other. This information will be recorded on a daily basis and included in the quarterly report to EPA. This system has not been designed yet because the plant design will not occur until the California Energy Commission is close to approving the plant permit. Once the system enabling the interconnection between the two systems is designed,the information will be forwarded to the EPA. Monthly Fluid Sampling and Chemical Analyses A representative grab sample of the injection fluid will be collected and chemically analyzed each month by an outside organization,using procedures in accordance with standard professional practice. The following parameters will be analyzed: 1. Background Quality Indicators: - specific gravity,specific conductance,hardness - TDS and pH - BOD and COD P-2 SAC/371322/082560022(ATTACHMENT-P.DOC)
