Monitoring well installed

Last Friday, the drilling halted at around 170', when the augers bent out of shape, making further downward progress impossible. Based on the water samples taken, a well was installed at around 70', and the DNRE is reviewing the data in order to determine if another well needs to be drilled to the bedrock.

UPDATE: DNRE has decided that another well needs be drilled.
