We do not know how deep the well is as we can not get anything past the stuck pump to measure it. <br /> Dr. Well suggested we try to blast the bowls away from the column, then remove the column, then fill with concrete <br /> from the bottom up. Dan feels that if we blast anything, the well is in such disrepair that it may actually collapse when <br /> we remove the column, if we can remove the column. <br /> After we talked, I went back to Dr. Well. They said that yes, we could prima cord the well without separating the bowls <br /> and removing the column, but if when we fill the well with concrete and then blast with enough force to penetrate the <br /> column and casing, it may well cause the equipment to drop in the well,causing the concrete to flow to the bottom of <br /> the well, mixing with the water and making a softer seal that we are looking for. <br /> So, there does not seem to be any full proof way to abandon this well. If you will let me know how you want me to <br /> proceed, I will contact the owner with a quote, when they approve it, I will apply for the permit. <br /> If you have any questions, please let me know. <br /> Thanks <br /> Paula <br /> z <br />
