WELL SURFACE CASING SEALING DESCRIPTION
Description
of Well
Sealing
Process:
On December 3, 2024, I witnessed the sealing of a 16-inch diameter surface casing for
the Terakee Replacement Well from a depth of 116 feet up ground surface with sand
cement grout that was transported on-site by Jack B. Parsons cement truck. The sand-
cement grout (8 cubic years) was pumped into the sealed 16-inch diameter casing under
pressure. The 16-inch diameter casing was perforated in the bottom 3 feet allowing the
cement to escape from bottom inside the casing and forced upwards into the annular
space between the casing and the borehole wall. Once all the cement was introduced,
fresh water was pumped into the casing from the top forcing the cement to rise from the
bottom of the casing to the surface displacing the groundwater from the annular space
to the surface as the cement rose within the annulus. A total of 8 cubic yards (216 cubic
feet) of sand cement grout was pumped into the annular space between the 24-inch
boring and the 16-inch surface casing.
Grout
Material:
Sand cement grout as prepared by Jack B. Parsons and delivered to the well site
Grout
Volume:
The theoretical volume of the annular space from grade to a depth of 116 feet between
the 16-inch diameter surface casing and the 24-inch diameter borehole is about 203
cubic feet (7.5) cubic yards. Approximately 216 cubic feet (8 cubic yards) of neat cement
grout was installed into and out of the bottom of the well then up the annular space of
the well between the borehole and the casing to the surface. The volume of cement that
filled the annular space was approximately 1.07 times the theoretical volume. The

discrepancy between the theoretical and actual volumes installed is due to washouts
and porous formation in the 24-inch diameter boring and 16-inch diameter casing
between 116 feet and the ground surface.
Grout
Density:
The grout density was measured prior to introduction into the pumping hopper at 18.5
pounds per gallon (lbs/gal). After approximately half of the cement was poured, then a
second sample of cement was measured at 18.0 lbs/gal.
Method of
Placement:
Pressure grouted from inside casing to the annulus
Depth from
Surface:
This certified well seal extends from 0 feet to a depth of 116 feet.
Did Grout
Come to the
Surface?
The grout installed under pressure returned to the ground surface from the annulus.
No settling of the grout was noted at the completion of grouting operations. Hole plug
bentonite will be added at surface after any settlement.
Length of
Tremie Pipe:
The tremie pipe was the 120-foot-length casing set to 116 feet.
This well seal certification is not a Plan Approval to construct a public drinking
water well or an Operating Permit to use the well as a public drinking water source.
Such approval may only be granted by the Director of the Division of Drinking Water. A
copy of this letter has been sent to the Director of the Division of Drinking Water.
