The Griffin Well, on the other hand, exhibited a regular fluctuation in water depth below the surface <br />ranging from 34.98 to 41.7 and averaging 35.01 between 13 and 27 June 2025. In addition to the <br />approximately 6.75-foot normal variation, transient fluctuations documented in the Griffen Well <br />during the monitoring period, were less than about 3 feet in excess of the normal variation. <br /> <br />Adjacent well surface elevations before, during and after drawdown: <br />As stated above, drawdown of the proposed community well was completed between 1100 on 16 July <br />2025 and 1100 on 17 July 2025 (Appendix 1). Data collection at the Rigsbee and Griffin Wells began <br />on 7 July and continued until 25 July 2025. The drawdown confirmed that the proposed community <br />well has a steady state (i.e., the balance of withdrawal and groundwater recharge, with no change to <br />water surface elevation) of approximately 90 gallons per minute. <br /> <br />As depicted in Graphs 2 and 3, no water level changes beyond the normal variations discussed above <br />were documented in either the Rigsbee Well or the Griffin Well during drawdown to either maximum <br />well depth (i.e., 606 feet below the surface) or steady state withdrawal (i.e. 90 gallons/minute), as well <br />as during the subsequent recovery period. <br /> <br />58
