RE:RE:Well contamination?? Protection measures?j1nxed wrote: A quick note about the rate of underground flow, according to the EPA it will take hundreds of year to reach existing wells (amerind and dragoon). Below is their response to a question about groundwater contamination and a faulty assumption about the downgradient EPA Response: The existing Dragoon and Amerind Foundation water wells are not downgradient of the Gunnison Project injection wells, based on water level maps of the regional aquifer included in the UIC Permit application. Groundwater modeling and particle tracking analysis indicate that the groundwater flow is predominantly toward the east and groundwater from the Gunnison Project area would not reach the existing wells for hundreds of years.
Good post. I stood on the North Star property. You can tell with the naked eye that it slopes down and toward the east. No where near Dragoon or Amerind.
