Observation Well Network Timeline 5 8 <br />August 2009 <br />then additional means of inspecting the well may be needed, such as using a <br />downhole geophysical instrument operated by DWQ, budget permitting. <br />Proposed Completion Date: November 30, 2009 <br />9. Any existing wells that are inspected and determined to have leaky casing must <br />be repaired prior to use of the well as an observation well, as the budget allows. <br />Proposed Completion Date: January 31, 2010 <br />10. As the project budget for FY09-10 likely permits purchasing a maximum of six <br />data loggers (for measuring groundwater levels) once the steps listed above are <br />completed, data loggers should be deployed in the following bedrock wells, in the <br />order listed: <br />• Rocky Ridge Road well, <br />• the Blackwood Farm well, <br />• Millhouse Road well, <br />• DWQ wells 1 D and 4D at the Duke Forest Hydrologeological Station, and <br />• Whichever of the following is available first: <br />• Former 911 Center, <br />• The UNC CH well, <br />• The Duke Forest Well on Eubanks Road, and <br />• The Eno River Association well on Highlands Farm Road. <br />Proposed Completion Date: February 28, 2010 <br />11. Groundwater level data will be collected from each of the bedrock observation <br />wells on an appropriate schedule. This data should be hosted on the World Wide <br />Web by NCDENR DWR so that the groundwater level information collected by <br />Orange Well Net will be readily available to the public. <br />Proposed Completion Date: Spring 2010 <br />12. Regolith well location and design planning should be undertaken with the <br />objective of enlarging Orange Well Net in FY10-11. It is anticipated that <br />additional data loggers for the remaining bedrock wells will be purchased and <br />deployed in FY10-11. Any repairs to existing bedrock wells which may be <br />needed prior to utilizing some bedrock wells in Orange Well Net are also likely to <br />be delayed until FY10-11. <br />Proposed Completion Date: Late Spring 2010 <br />
