Chris, here is the kmz file that we discussed. It appears that the proposed RM 23 well would be around the 4268' contour
on the potentiometric surface, which is upgradient of the tailings cells. Please review and let me know what you think.
thanks, Harold

Thanks Harold, I will give you a call in a few minutes, it would help us to see the location on a pot map so we can verify
it's upgradient of the cell(s).

Chris,
Feel free to call me at your convenience. As LaMiya stated, the driller is mobilizing to the site. If there is any hesitation
in drilling at this location we will need to let him know. Thanks, Harold

Greetings,
I need to know if the drilling needs to me postponed. The driller is planning on moving to the site as he pulls off the
current location. That puts the equipment on the road headed this way in the next day or so. If I need to put this off it
needs to be decided asap.

Thanks for sending us the coordinates LaMiya, we were able to successfully drop this into a map on our end and verify
the location. We do approve of the placement of RM-23 at this location, if you need to move it twenty feet or so to the
east to be further away from the erosion rills and/or keep it away from future erosion damage that is ok with us as well.
We will now draft an official approval letter and get that out as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi to all,
I have the driller here on the site. We went out and walked to see how far west we could get the well. The coordinates
are almost identical to Harolds' suggested site.
37.71762, -110.69158 or 37.43'03.4" N 110.41'29.7"W
This is as far west of the air sampling site I can get the rig to. The attached zip file contains two picture of the erosion
that stops up from going further west. We are roughly 20 feet from the fence to allow the support vehicles to access the
rig on the uphill - stable side. The south side of the hole goes into sand dunes and the erosion that is shown in the
pictures. If I have approval I will move forward with getting the permits amended with the division of water rights.

I just received a call from Chris and Adam with the state. They have approved the revised location, and based upon the
pictures said if needed it could be moved back to the east 20' or so to make sure it is not impacted by any of those
erosional features shown in the pictures. They will be sending written confirmation shortly. thanks

Harold, thanks again for chatting with us just now, these maps and pins are a big help. As discussed, the pin labeled
"Upgradient Location" would be an ideal location. When your Geologist Brian arrives on site please have him send you
the coordinates of the location the well would go. If you could then send us the final location in another kmz file then
we can tentatively approve based on that.
If you need to chat any further both Adam and myself are available this afternoon on our State cell phones. Here are
our numbers:

Chris,
While it is our preference to stay out of the restricted area, LaMiya and Sheryl agreed that we can put a well in the
restricted area. Attached please find two kmz locations as alternate well sites. The first is the location of the air
monitors, which was discussed as a location for the well. Note that it is roughly the 4268 elevation on the
potentiometric surface, nearly identical gradient to the proposed RM 23 site. As an alternative, it may be possible to
move north toward the pin labeled "Upgradient Location", which is still inside the fence and would have an elevation
in excess of 4270. There appears to be an old road or other disturbance in this area. We may be able to move
toward that location or at least half way to around the 4270' contour. Please let us know what you think.

Hi Chris -
I wanted to give you an update on the RM 23 well drilling at the Shootaring Canyon Mill. Based upon the revised
location agreed to for RM 23, the following draft plan was prepared:
Well ID
Collar Elevation
(ft)
Approx. Pot.
Elev
Est Depth to
Water TD (ft bgs)
Slotted
Casing
RM 1 4447.1 4271 176.1 484.7 220-480
RM 23 (original)4532 4268 264 337 262-322
RM 23 (revised)4503 4272 231 310 235-295
The RM 23 revised location is approximately halfway between RM 1 and the original proposed RM 23 location. Based
upon the collar elevations and the anticipated potentiometric surface, it was assumed that the revised well would be
drilled to approximately 310' Total Depth to sample the Entrada.
In the field, the bore hole has been completed. It was drilled with a 9 7/8” bit and air rotary until 70’, when they switched
to foam drilling. They completed the bore hole with a TD of 330' today. Our geologist believes this gets the well
sufficiently below the K sandstone and into the Entrada aquifer for the monitoring requirements. The hole will be
geophysically logged on Monday, and calls made to determine the best interval to install the 60' of slotted casing, and
the well will be completed.
The monitoring well is not a great producer at <1 GPM, which according to LaMiya is typical for this aquifer in this
area, but should meet the needs for monitoring.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information. thank you, Harold
