C.1. PROJECT

(a) BACKGROUND

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Branch of Water Resources (BWR) of the Southwest Regional

Office (SWRO) is tasked with gathering information in the support of water rights claims primarily supported through regional surface and subsurface hydrological modeling. Wells and surface water observations points are the primary sources of data collection. The BWR constructs wells to the purpose of general aquifer observations, exploratory hydrogeological formations characterization and well production rate testing. The BWR observes, records, maintains, and constructs surface water observation points of natural or anthropogenic and ephemeral or perennial water ways and their interaction within their prospective water sheds for tribal water budgeting and surface water modeling. Regional hydrological data collection is instrumental in providing necessary data to support observed variation in hydrological and environmental stressors and localized water budgeting for water rights Adjudications proceedings.

Water rights claims Adjudications the BWR is currently gathering data for:

- New Mexico vs. Aamodt

- New Mexico vs. Abbott

- New Mexico vs. Abousleman

- New Mexico vs. Aragon

- New Mexico vs. Kerr McGee

- Little Colorado River Adjudication

- Middle Rio Grande Anticipated Adjudication

- Rio Embudo Anticipated Adjudication

- SWRO Irrigation and water budgeting projects

Additionally, the BWR is involved in supporting tribal compliance and implementation of

Adjudication settlements and advising tribal Water Resource offices.

Contractor’s expense.

(i) Step Testing: Step testing will consist of 3 to 5 distinct period as follows: 1) pre-pumping period of 5 to 15 minutes after pump and pump assembly are installed and ready to start step test, 2) a continuous pumping period at a discharge rate designated by the COR, 3) a period of an altered discharge rate of continuous pumping if initial continuous pumping is insufficient to adequately stress the aquifers production rates, 4) another period of an altered discharge rate of continuous pumping if 2nd continuous pumping is insufficient to adequately stress the aquifers production rates and is not to exceed a total of 7 hr. of combined pumping through the duration of step testing, 5) an aquifer recovery period restricting the extraction of pump and pump assembly for a period not to exceed 36 hours.

If after 24 hours of aquifer recovery it is determined by the COR the aquifer recovery rate will be insufficient for accurate data collection within the given 36 hours, a request from the Government may be made to leave the pump and assembly at the location for a period to be determined after observation of the initial 24-hour recovery period. If the Contractor needs to extract the pump and pump assembly prior to the new determined time frame for complete aquifer recovery the Contractor and the COR shall discuss and find an agreed upon time frame after the given 36 hr. recovery time to extract the pump. No pumping shall be required during the pre-pumping and recovery time periods.

(ii) Constant Rate Pumping Test: Constant rate pump test will consist of 3 distinct periods as follows: 1) Pre-pumping period of 5 to 15 minutes after pump and pump assembly are installed and ready to start pump test, 2) a continuous pumping period at a discharge rate designated by the COR as determined by observation of step testing, 3) an aquifer recovery period restricting the extraction of pump and pump assembly for a period not to exceed 36 hours. If after 24 hours. of aquifer recovery it is determined by the COR the aquifer recovery rate will be insufficient for accurate data collection within the given 36 hours, a request from the Government may be made to leave the pump and assembly at the location for a period to be determined after observation of the initial 24 hr. recovery period. If the

Contractor needs to extract the pump and pump assembly prior to the new determined time frame for complete aquifer recovery the Contractor and the COR shall discuss and find an agreed upon time frame after the given 36 hours recovery time to extract the pump. No pumping shall be required during the pre-pumping and recovery time periods. A 2nd mobilization and demobilization may be required to complete the aquifer testing periods.

All logistical aspects of a required 2nd mobilization and demobilization shall be discussed

EXPLORATORY WATER WELLS CONSTRUCTION - SANTA ANA PG 16 OF 53

and agreed upon by the Contractor and COR prior to the 1st demobilization.

(iii)Aquifer Tests Water Data Collection: The Contractor may be required to provide water collection and or to record water levels at given time increments through the course of constant rate pump testing. Any required water collection or recording of water levels shall be clearly explained to the Contractor and Job Site Foremen or Tool Pusher by the COR prior to commencement of operations. If water collection is required, then the COR shall establish a given time increment for water collection and processes. The Contractor shall take a water sample of approximately 1 quart and measure for temperature and specific conductance at the given time increment set by the COR which shall not exceed a frequency of 1 sample/hr., record the samples tested characteristics and provide a written log to the

COR. The Government shall provide equipment for temperature and specific conductance measuring in accordance with section 3.D. If the Contractor would prefer to use their own equipment they may do so after approval of equipment by the COR. If water level measurement is required, then the COR shall establish a given time increment for water level measuring. The Contractor shall use a water level meter/tape/sounder and record water level variation based on the establish time increments given by the COR in a log to be provided to the COR upon completion of the pump test. The Government shall provide equipment for water level measuring in accordance with section 3.D. If the Contractor would prefer to use their own equipment they may do so after approval of equipment by the COR and providing it is the same instrument used throughout the course of the current pump test.

(iv) Water quality sample: After a minimum of 24 hours of the pumping on the constant rate pump test the Contractor shall take a water quality sample based on the instructions given by the company procured to perform the water sample analysis. The Contractor shall be responsible for all arrangements and scheduling with the water sample analysis company and shall pay all related costs. The water sample analysis company should be competent in providing water analysis for but not limited to Metals, Anions, Coliform, Alkalinity, Specific Conductance and Total Dissolved Solids.
