Update from Energy Transfer – June 3, 2025

Continuing with our schedule of activities associated with the three recovery wells installed in May, next week, our contractors will perform borehole geophysical logging and imaging in each of the new recovery wells. This work involves using a wireline winch mounted in a standard pickup truck with a cap. The wireline will run about 20 feet from the back of the truck to a pulley on a tripod over the well. Various cylindrical tools and sensors will be sequentially attached to the wireline and lowered into the borehole. The tools will be staged on a set of sawhorses next to the truck. The winch is powered by a standard (camping-sized) generator; this will be the only noise associated with this work, and the pickup truck will be turned off and not idling.

The truck, sawhorses and pulley tripod will be situated on the public roadway (Glenwood Drive) and will only block one lane of traffic. Traffic control will be provided to ensure safe passage of vehicles travelling the street. The minimal wash water generated will be captured on plastic sheeting and drummed for off-site disposal. This work is expected to last approximately two days, during normal working hours.
