a) Mr. Stephen W. Robertson presented information about the Wellhead Protection
Activities. He informed us that this program will go into existence after a well comes on line. The
program will likely take about two years to complete with extensions possible. Parts of the
activities are about 80% completed. He recommended that we delay further action until Well #5
comes on line and then submit a delineation report. He also suggested a pumping test of the well be
made upon completion of well. It was consensus to follow recommendation.
b) Report that storage tank contractor will likely be here and working about February 1,
1998. The board expressed feelings that contractor be held to terms of contract with no delays
allowed since he is late starting the work from what was originally reported.

MOTION CARRIED.
