The report summarizes the testing results and it will be submitted to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources before the well can be made operational. Jay provided an overview of the permitting process that now requires testing and monitoring before and during the construction of the well. Requirements outlined by the DNR for Well No. 6 Appropriation Permit Amendment include private well testing, monitoring wells, and aquifer testing that included pumping 18,000 million gallons in an eight-day period. Results of the tests showed the aquifer to be sustainable and no impact of the surrounding surface water. The next steps are to submit the test results to the DNR for review, apply for the Well Installation Appropriation Permit Amendment, and complete the well house design and bidding. The well is expected to be operational fall, 2011 or spring 2012.
