RE: Well Seal Certification for Legend Well
Snowbasin Resort
Public Water System No. UTAH29071
Weber County, Utah

Dear Mr. Ratchford,
On August 4, 2022, I witnessed the sealing procedure for the well referenced above as
authorized by R309-515-6(5)(b). This letter is to certify that the well sealing procedure
met the requirements of Utah Administrative Code (UAC), Rule R309-515-6(6)(i), Well
Sealing Techniques and Requirements, and Rule R655-4-11.4, Surface Seals and
Interval Seals.
The following tables and figures summarize information about the well, the Public Water
System (PWS), the well driller and the well sealing process.

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.

Legend Well - Grout Seal Certification
Description of
Well Sealing
Process:
On August 4, 2022, Lang Equipment (Lang) sealed the 14-inch diameter surface casing
for the Legend Well from a depth of 114 feet up to ground surface with neat cement
grout. Each neat cement grout batch was prepared in a 500-gallon mixer and grout
pump and installed in the borehole through a 2.3-inch diameter (BQ) tremie pipe. Each
neat cement grout batch was prepared by mixing a supersack (approximately 2500
pounds) of Type I/II Portland cement with approximately 145 gallons (gals) of water.
The first (hot) batch was prepared by also mixing 50 pounds (lbs) of calcium chloride
into the grout batch. A total of 17 batches (547 cubic feet) were mixed and installed in
the borehole and each batch was installed immediately after mixing and measuring the
grout density.
Grout Material:Neat cement grout
Grout Volume:The theoretical volume of the annular space between the 14-inch diameter surface
casing and the borehole wall from ground surface to a depth of 114 feet is 103 cubic
feet. Lang installed approximately 547 cubic feet of neat cement grout around the
surface casing. The discrepancy between the theoretical volume and the installed
volume is due to large washouts in the borehole and grout flowing out into the very
permeable formation.
Grout Density:The grout density was measured to be between 16.5 and 15.2 pounds per gallon
(lbs/gal) prior to installation in the borehole. The average density was 15.4 lbs/gal.
Method of
Placement:
Tremie pipe and grout pump.
Depth from
Surface:
The certified cement grout well seal extends from ground surface to a depth of 114 feet.
Did Grout Come
to the Surface?
Yes grout came to the surface.
Length of
Tremie Pipe:
The bottom of the tremie pipe was set to a depth of approximately 110 feet for the first
(hot) batch of neat cement grout. The tremie was then set to a depth of 110 feet and 14
batches were installed. The tremie was then set to a depth of 60 feet and 2 more
batches were installed. The tremie was then removed from the borehole after grout
returns at the surface.
Issues Observed
During Well
Sealing:
No issues were observed during the installation of the neat cement grout seal for the
Legend Well.
