Action Alert

The Tonasket Ranger District of the Forest Service is accepting comments for an environmental analysis of the Echo Bay Exploration, Inc. proposal to develop a groundwater supply well for exploration drilling. The proposal would drill a 600-ft borehole in fractured bedrock, and conduct airlift testing during drilling, to determine where water-producing fracture zones are present. In order for the Marias Creek Pump Test to provide useful results, the test points need to be relevant and the methods should be suitable to generate the information needed to ensure adequate environmental protection.
