January 25, 2016 Well Head Protection Improvements Plan 2.1. Protective Bollards 28 wells require the installation of protective bollards to ensure future safety of the well.At each well site,three to four bollards should be installed around the well by digging an approximately 2- foot deep hole and setting the bollard with concrete.The distance between bollards should be chosen to ensure no vehicular damage can occur to the monument or well casing. 2.2. Monument Lids The standing monument lid at MWR-4 is no longer attached to the standing monument and the standing monument lid is completely missing at MWR-7.At MWR-4,the hinged side of the existing lid should be re-welded to the monument base to ensure the well is tamper-proof. Similarly at MWR-7,a new monument lid should be purchased and the hinged side should be welded to the monument base. 2.3. Rodent Holes At NMW-2 and MW-S2,rodent holes were found at the base of the well.These holes do not appear to affect the annular seal. However to ensure the annular seal is properly maintained,these rodent holes should be filled with neat cement. 2.4. Well Casing Height During well reconnaissance, HydroFocus, Inc. personnel noticed the top of well casing MWM-6 was damaged and missing the measuring point. In order to properly secure the well plug,the well casing was cut down slightly.The measuring point elevation on this well should be re-marked and re- surveyed. At MWM-27,the top of the well casing exceeds the height of the flush mount vault, preventing the vault lid from properly securing. Ideally,the flush mount vault should be moved upwards to completely enclose the well casing,preserving the existing measuring point. Due to unforeseen constraints,this option may not be a viable,in which case the well casing should be cut down to fit within the flush mount vault and the measuring point should be re-marked and re-surveyed.
