Wadsworth Boulevard, Lakewood, Colorado 80235 Moved by Bill Elliott that the following resolution be introduced for passage by the Weld County Planning Commission : Be it Resolved by the Weld County Planning Commission that the application for site approval of Time Extension of 9 Months for SUP covering the following described property in Weld County , Colorado , to-wit : be recommended ( favorably ) (NMIna CI X11() to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons : 1. The Wyoming Mineral Corporation submitted a letter dated June 23, 1977, requesting a nine month extension for their Special Use Permit from October 1, 1977, to July 1, 1978. Said letter out- lines the reasons for the time extension request. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission that Wyoming Mineral Corporation has shown good cause for this nine month extension request as outlined in their letter dated June 23, 1977. Further, it is the opinion of the Planning Commission that the nine month extension request is reasonable and Wyoming Mineral Corporation should be given adequate time to demonstrate the effectiveness of solution mining at the test site and to demonstrate the effectiveness of their plans for sub-surface water restoration and surface reclamation.

Webb, CDH DEC 1'571 4 • L• RECEIVED L&S-77-1328 SUMMARY OF KEOTA GEOHYDROLOGIC DATA A geohydrologic test at Keota was completed on October 12, 1977. The test was conducted at a constant pumpage rate of 4 gpm (maximum possible rate) for 24 hours. The test involved one pumping well (340960-1Hc) and six observation wells (340960-2Hc, -3H, -4H, -5H, -6H, and -7H) . Figure 1 shows the general locations of these wells. Observation wells 340960-4Hc, -5H, -6H, and -7H monitored the water level in the Keota sand. Observation well 340960-3H monitored the water level in an upper sand unit. Observation well 340960-2Hc monitored the water level in a lower sand unit. The pumping well 340960-1Hc pumped from the Keota sand only. Table 1 shows the water level readings before and at the end of the 24-hour pump test. The results of the geohydrologic analysis are as follows: Major transmissivity 336 gpd/ft Minor transmissivity 230 gpd/ft Major hydraulic conductivity 11.2 gpd/ft2 Minor hydraulic conductivity 7.7 gpd/ft2 Direction of major axis N65°E Storage Coefficient 8.2 x 10-5 Well Efficiency 74% No leakage and no boundaries were detected throughout the pump test. At the end of 24 hours, the cone of depression had reached a distance of 1000 feet (Figure 2) from the pumped well. Based on water level data from observation well 340960-2Hc and -3H, there is no hydraulic connection between the lower or the upper sand and the ore bearing (Keota) sand. In addition to the October 12, 1977 pump test, single well pump tests were run on November 2, 1977 for well 340960-3H; on November 3, 1977 for well 360960-1Hc; and on November 3, 1977 for well 300959-1H. The transmissivities were estimated (assuming 70% well efficiency) from the specific yield using the following formula: T = 114.6 A Ln (0.0002085 S) where: T = transmissivity (gpd/ft) A = drawdown (ft. ) Q = discharge (gpm) t = time (min.) r = radius of well (ft. ) S = storage coefficient The results of this analysis are shown in Table 2. At this time groundwater quality samples are being collected and a study of local wells is being conducted. t J — J W _ N C • O w z w F-- 2Cn CC — t0 m a00 O D 0 Q Lt LI- Dnw LL = O 4--.. 0f w N O] 0 N O6 C II 01 • 7 U co D t co 0 a 0 u 0 3 000`96fi`Z b co m O H z _ a �h w O © 0o C� F_ z Q0 J Fm w Cr ili �y 0, 3= JO WO LL.

Wadsworth Blvd. Lakewood, Colorado 80235 Re: Keota Sand Rupture Test Dear Mr. Tiepel: A brief report on the Keota Sand Rupture Test is enclosed. The test results are normal, that is: The sand ruptured at a normal pressure; the injection rates were normal for the sand types, well completion method and static formation pressure; and there were no indications of casing leakage or damage. The equipment performed satisfactorily, except for two items: 1. The duration of injection at each rate step was limited by the capacity of the storage tank used. 2. The maximum injection rate and pressure were limited by the storage tank and a plastic valve that could not be opened under pressure to permit the second injection pump to be used. Neither of these limitations prevented a successful test. They would have made the point of rupture more obvious on the graph, however. Yours truly, n W. H.

The rupture occurred at 67 psi gauge pressure at the well head. This is approximately 79 psi absolute. It establishes the rupture gradient, often called the fracture gradient or fracture potential, at 0.71 psi per foot of depth below mound level. Data from the rupture test is presented in the table on page 2. On page 3, figure 1 is a graph of the data, which was taken while increasing the injection rate and while decreasing the injection rate. The change of slope that occurred at 67 psig well head pressure is evidence of rupture while the rate was being increased and closure of the rupture while the rate was being decreased. On September 23, 1976, a rupture gradient of 0.73 psi per foot of depth was measured for the Grover sand at the Grover Test Site in Sec. 24-T10N- R62W of Weld County. The similarity of the two values, 0.73 and 0.71, indicates that the average densities of the fo`nations overlying the two tested sands are very nearly the same. From the Keota test, it is concluded that 60 psi gauge pressure is a safe upper limit for injection wells in the Keota sand in the immediate vicinity. If the Keota sand occurs at a different depth, a safe upper limiting pressure can be calculated from the rupture gradient. Figure 2 on page 4 illustrates the location of Well 340960-5H, which was used for the rupture test, and the location of the other wells in the area. Seven of the wells are cased for pump tests while eight others are uncased exploration holes that have been plugged and abandoned. Figure 3 on page 5 is a diagrammatic sketch of Well 340960-5H showing how the well was completed and piping connected for the test. Other equipment used in the test, including pumps, filters, water storage, electrical switch gear, etc. , are not shown. Water for the test was pumped from Well 340960-1H in the Keota sand. /Y 22,14;AL W. H.

Please note that the inconsistency in the November 21, 1977 specific conductance results is due to the use of a different meter. WMC had to resort to a temporary meter while the original specific conductance meter was repaired. WMC will advise when the old meter will once again be in operation. Presently, WMC is still working on a new filtration method and will inform your office when a change in the method occurs. We continue to filter those wells that do not have a high degree of solids.

However, the high degree of solids • in some of the wells allowed us to filter only GM-2, GM-6, PM-2, FM-2 and 22C. We are presently in the process of working on a different filtration method so that all wells may be filtered in one week. WMC will continue to filter those wells that do not have a high degree of solids and will advise your office when a new filtration method will be employed. As might be noted, the inconsistency of the hardness parameter seems to be a result of insolubles in those samples. By analyzing the filtered samples, it appears that the hardness goes down after filtration, thus proving the presence of insolubles. WMC will advise when, in fact, the reason for the inconsistency is determined. If there are any questions, please call. Sincerely, a'il Y514-76—"-- Carolynn . Bryan Associate Licensing Enginee cc: G.

The sampling procedures outlined in WMC letter L&S-77-1062 to Kenneth W. Webb apply to the wells at the Grover Test Site. These procedures were established in an attempt to determine the cause of variability seen in some of our weekly monitor well data. It is hypothesized that the variability has been due to sampling procedure rather than analytical procedure, but true groundwater characteristics must be taken into consideration as well. Single well pump tests are scheduled for Wednesday through Friday of next week (11/2 - 4/77) at the following locations: Section 34, T9N, R6OW Section 36, T9N, R6OW Section 30, T9N, R59W Section 16, T8N, R6OW (tentative) These tests are designed to determine hydrologic properties of the aquifer in the different areas and will be followed by periodic water quality sampling.

Please advise if and when this would be heard before the Planning Commission and/or Board of County Commissioners. As discussed with you on October 17, there is currently a trailer enroute from one of our Texas sites which houses a reverse osmosis unit used for restoration purposes. The unit must be winterized in order to effect our restoration program in a timely fashion, which leads to our having more trailers on-site than originally listed in our Development Standards. Please advise if there is further action required of WMC on this matter. WMC recently has been engaged in conducting hydrologic tests in the Keota area in order to deterMine pertinent aquifer characteristics. A pump test and a rupture test have been run, the results of which are yet to be compiled. The equipment used for these tests have been returned to the Grover site. Single well pump tests will be run in the future of which we will keep you advised as firm dates are established. Also enclosed is a drawing, DLGR-77-013, which indicates two holes (G-1R and G-2R) drilled for restoration purposes. Water that has been removed from the leach field and processed through the reverse osmosis system will be reinjected through these wells. If there are any questions, please contact me.

Since that time, additional testing has shown that the configuration indicated in the attached map, number DLGR-77-011, is more effective to mine. Again, we may drill up to ten wells in this location. Your approval of this slight shift in well locations will be greatly appreciated. May we also call your attention to the location of the existing wells in the attached drawing. This map reflects the surveyed location of the wells unlike the previous drawing (DLGR-77-010) submitted to you. The proposed additional monitor well (GM-8) has been based on the first drawing sent to you. We will assume that its placement still addresses the State's concerns, unless we hear otherwise. Drilling is scheduled to begin September 13. This letter serves as con- firmation of verbal notification of said drilling given to your office and the office of the State Engineer on September 8 and 9.

These you graciously approved on June 16, 1977. Since that date we find that the mineralized zone in the vicinity of these wells is not suitable for obtaining optimum test results. Therefore we are deferring the drilling of these wells and propose, instead, to drill two production wells with eight accompanying injection wells to the southeast of the present test well field. (See proposed Wells PG5, PG6, etc. on the enclosed drawing.) These proposed new wells will be in a location better suited to effective test operations, yet within the boundaries defined by our test permit and within the surveillance range of our monitor wells.

Traditionally, we have run our calcium and magnesium on the non-acidified sample. However, with the high pH found in the groundwater at Grover, and the irregular hardness values from the weekly samples in which we suspect precipitation,we are switching to running all cations in parallel (one acidified and one non-acidified) for the next few months. It is possible that the samples contain precipitate which we are redissolving. With the data from the next two months, we will determine whether or not we have to filter the samples in the field.

The narrative is excerpted from a report of well field start-up submitted by the site manager, Mr. R.K. Barrett. The Grover well field start-up was initiated on the 5/20/77 afternoon shift. (This start-up refers to having the pumps set, pipe laid, and testing for any malfunction in the system. Only water is circulated at this time.) After starting and stopping a number of times to mend pipes, repair leaks and correct malfunctions in the circuit, we were finally able to get a balanced flow. We ran and circulated water for approximately 50 hours at a well head pressure between 0-30 psi prior to chemical injection, not including some down time due to injection problems. No weeping was detected at the surface, so it is concluded there are no incomplete exploration holes in the test site area. Samples were taken; pH's and water levels were read on the monitor wells and production wells. These samples have been submitted to our Boulder Laboratory for analysis. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sincerely,64i,/ C7(3 C. Bryan ' Assoc. Li'censing Engineer CB:BF cc: T. Honn - Weld County Planning Commission (/ R.

These permits will expire October 1, 1977. Because of circumstances described below, we hereby request an extension on these permits to cover an additional nine-month period, thereby advancing the expiration date to July 1, 1978. This extension is required because adverse weather conditions and various well field difficulties have delayed solution mining testing by nearly two months to date. Well development techniques being tested at the Grover test site have been less productive than anticipated, resulting in lost time attempting to overcome the difficulties. Furthermore, at the end of testing, additional time will be required to perform groundwater restoration as stipulated in the permits. Restoration equipment and personnel will have to be on site to implement the restoration program. The nine-month time period is requested to cover possible adverse weather conditions which could preclude running the restoration equipment during the winter months. Providing mild winter conditions exist, the program would be completed in the most timely fashion possible. If granted the extension, the surface reclamation plan would necessarily have to be postponed until 1978. Accordingly, Wyoming Mineral Corporation, at the option of the State and County, would propose to revegetate a plot of presently-disturbed land - not to exceed two acres - to test the efficiency of its revegetation plan. Efforts on this test plot could commence mid- October to mid-December, 1977, depending on weather and soil conditions. If the State and County opt to have this test plot established, WMC must be notified no later than July 15, 1977 in order to secure the necessary living materials (i.e. , plants and seeds) . L&S-77-587 - Page 2 Revegetation of the test site proper would follow the same plan as submitted in June of 1977, but might be modified by the test plot experience. Test site revegetation efforts would commence mid-October to mid-December, 1978, since the environmental conditions at this time are the most favorable for subsequent establishment of a vegetative cover the following spring. We would be pleased to meet with you as required regarding this extension request. Your assistance is appreciated. Sincerely, .e " {/ G�fI C_ ,� ',72 //,) tr' ? C. B. Bryan, Assoc.

Please note that data from FM-1 is unavailable due to the loss of a pump down the well. It has since been retrieved. The pump is presently being repaired, thus analyses are still unavailable. It is hoped that sampling will reconvene the week of 1/9/78. There appears to be little difference in measuring conductance at the well head or in the lab. The analyses remain constant. Wyoming Mineral Corp. is therefore requesting that conductance be measured in the lab, your assist- ance in this matter will be appreciated. Also, for your information a different pH meter is presently being employed. If there are any questions, please feel free to call. Sincerely, <-1-1(1, "4. ( \ 14\ \,....24_1 Frances M.

As soon as an additional probing unit is available we expect to add two more drilling rigs, in order that geologic evaluation of other parts of the Pawnee project, encompassing approximately 150,000 net acres, can proceed without delay. The solution mining experiment expected to be conducted by the Powerco-Aquarius-Wyoming joint venture in this area holds significant poten- tial for the Company.

The well, which was plugged and aban- doned, was drilled with outside participation and I , the cost to the Company was approximately $12,000. Powerco and Aquarius will continue trying to interest other parties in drilling in the area to earn an interest in our acreage. We anticipate conducting a limited amount of geo- physical work on certain prospects within the area to provide supporting data for geologic concepts. The Company's current oil and gas revenues are modest, averaging approximately $3,500 per month from three producing wells. Powerco owns ap- proximately 45,000 net acres of undeveloped oil and gas leases, including the Company's 50 percent interest in 80,000 acres in the southeast Powder River Basin, Wyoming and South Dakota. Although Powerco will continue attempting to interest industry partners and others in drilling exploratory tests on portions of its acreage, it is not expected that this effort will be a major factor in the Company's operations during the coming year. COAL PROSPECTS •Powerco holds State of Colorado leases covering ra; �:;,, ic, .;• 3,200 net acres, but has no present plans to ex- plore these properties for potential coal reserves.
