Complaint Issue
Issue:     WATER WELL Assigned To:    Loren Avis Status:     Resolved     1/20/2003
Description: MR. KOELLER SUPPLIED WATER ANALYSIS OF HIS 1340 FT. DEEP DAKOTA WATER WELL. THE WELL IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL. THE WATER QUALITY CHANGE AND THE PUMP GAVE OUT. HE DOES NOT PLAN TO REWORK THE WATER WELL DUE TO THE COST. HE DOES BLAME OIL OPERATIONS IN THE AREA AS THE CAUSE OF HIS WATER WELL GOING "BAD". THE CLOSEST O&G WELL IS 2 MILES AWAY, HE DID SAY THAT SEISMIC WAS RUN NEARBY HIS PROPERTY. THERE IS NO DIRECT EVIDENCE OF IMPACT DUE TO OIL AND GAS OPERATION. A SHALLOW AQUIFER MAY HAVE PENETRATED HIS CASING CAUSING THE CHANGE IN WATER QUALITY. I HAVE SENT HIM A STIFF DIAGRAM AND PIPER DIAGRAM SHOWING VISUALLY THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WATER QUALITY. THE LETTER TO HIM AND DIAGRAMS ARE ATTACHED.
Resolution: LETTER ATTACHED, STIFF AND PIPER DIAGRAM ALSO ATTACHED. IT APPEARS THAT A SHALLOW AQUIFER HAS BROKEN THROUGH HIS CASING CHANGING THE QUALITY OF HIS WATER.
