Observation Well Network Timeline 5 ~ August 2009 • If the surface casing in an existing well is found to be leaking, repairs to the well or not using the well are options which must be considered and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. • The security of each well head must be evaluated and possibly improved prior to the use of each well. 5. Given the limited budget, internal resources should be used to complete as many of the necessary tasks as possible to minimize expenditures. This could include: a. Using County personnel to try to remove pumps from wells, to provide an electrician to facilitate the use of existing pumps in wells; b. Utilizing Environmental Health resources, including personnel, generator and video camera system, to examine existing wells for casing integrity. 6. It should be a priority to complete the tasks listed in Item 4 above, to facilitate use of the following County owned bedrock wells to permit data collection to begin: • The Blackwood Farm well, (DONE) • The Rocky Ridge Road well, and • The Millhouse Road well. (DONE) 7. The EH video camera should be used to see if the surface casings on the following wells are leaking, in the order listed: • The Blackwood Farm well, (DONE) • The Rocky Ridge Road well, • The Millhouse Road well, and (DONE) • Pumps must be pulled at the following properties: • The Blackwood Farm, (DONE} • The UNC- CH well, • The former 911 center, • The Duke Forest Well on Eubanks Road, and • The Eno River Association well on Highland Farm Road. • Inspection of other wells with the down-hole camera should occur once MOAs are finalized for each of the following wells: • The UNC CH well, • The Duke Forest Well on Eubanks Road, and • The Eno River Association well on Highland Farm Road. Proposed Completion Date: October 31, 2009 8. If it can not be conclusively determined if the casing of an existing well(s) is leaking or not through inspection using the EH downhole video camera system,
