STATUS REPORT ABANDONMENT OF WELL AG-3 The pump was successfully opened from the well on August 11, 1995. Total depth of the well was measured at 570 feet bgs compared to an original constructed depth of 608 feet bgs. Puma Information Horsepower: 50 RPM: 1770 Depth of Pump: 200 feet bgs Estimated Capacity: 3500 gpm Pertinent information regarding the well include the following: Well Condition (as of May 21, 1995) Condition of Casing : Moderate to Poor Degree of Encrustation: Mild to Heavy Perforated Intervals: Locally between 127 and 203 feet bgs, from 372 to 374 feet bgs, and locally between 495 and 606 feet bgs (see video summary). Total Depth: 570 feet bgs Remainder of casing is filled with sediment and debris Due to sand wedging which prevented its removal,the column pipe inside of AG-3 was cut at 125 feet and 155 feet bgs. The upper portion of the column pipe was removed from the well. A milling tool and drill rig was used to push and break up the bowls below the column pipe so that the well was opened to a total depth of approximately 570 feet. The remainder of the well (to a depth of 608 feet) is presumed to be filled with accumulated sediment and the remainder of the pump bowls and intake pipe. A video survey was then performed of the interior of the well casing and a summary of the survey is attached. The video showed that the overall condition of the well is moderate to poor. Several breaks and holes in the casing are visible, and the well is deformed (i.e., out of round) locally with the most severe deformation occurring at approximately 174 feet bgs. Much of the casing is severely encrusted; however, loss of water to the formation during milling and zones of open perforations indicate that the casing is not closed. page 1 of 3
