The intent of this task order is to abandon the quasi-municipal well #31669, located at the Austin Ranger District Administrative compound, consistent with State of Nevada Regulations found at NRS 534.420-

427. The well was drilled in 1989 and used until the compound was hooked up to the City of Austin municipal water system in the 2000s. The well is 350 feet deep and has a 6-inch diameter casing inside of its original 12 inch diameter construction. The well casing contains a louvered screen (mounted in a flange frame) between 270 and 330 ft. depth BGS. The well is currently capped and locked, and is easily accessible from existing dirt roads to the area. The successful contractor will be licensed by the State of Nevada Engineer to perform well abandonment. The well is located on land administered by the Forest Service within the Austin Ranger District in central Nevada. Fallon, the nearest town with commercial services is located approximately 105 miles west of the Site.

Location and Access: The Site is situated at the Austin Ranger District Administrative compound, located approximately one quarter mile west of the city of Austin NV, off of State Highway 50. The well is adjacent to a short spur road off of FS road 43184, just east of the compound. The wellhead is easily accessible and is not contained within a fixed structure.

The legal description for the site is T19N R44E, NW ¼ SW ¼ sec 18.

Pre-Bid site visit: There is no pre-bid walkthrough scheduled, if interested, contractors are welcome to visit the site on their own prior to submitting a bid, or by contacting Ken Maas at 775 352-1223 or Louie Lani at 775-964-2671. A full suite of site photos and a location map accompany this solicitation, as does a copy of the well driller’s report.

Task 2 – Well abandonment:

NAC 534.420 Plugging of well: General requirements. (NRS 534.020, 534.110)

1. Except as otherwise provided in NAC 534.422, wells must be plugged in the manner prescribed in this section by a well driller licensed by the State Engineer.

2. A well driller shall:

a. Ensure that a notice of his or her intent to plug a water well is received by the Division not less than 3 working days before the drill rig is moved to the location where the well will be plugged; and

b. Notify the Division not less than 24 hours before beginning to plug the well.

3. Before the well driller begins to plug the well, he or she shall, if possible, obtain the log and record of work for that well from the Division or the owner of the well.

4. On abandonment or order of the State Engineer, a water well must be plugged by:

a. Removing the pump or debris from the well bore with appropriate equipment; and

b. If an annular cement seal was not installed, breaking the casing free with appropriate equipment so that the casing may be pulled from the well.

5. If the casing in the well:

a. Breaks free, the well driller shall plug the borehole in the manner prescribed in NAC

534.4371 as the casing is pulled from the well. The well must be plugged from the total depth of the well to the surface of the well, in stages if necessary, to displace in an upward direction any fluid or debris in the well.

b. Does not break free, the well driller shall perforate that portion of the casing which extends from the bottom of the well to not less than 50 feet above the top of the uppermost saturated groundwater stratum or to the surface of the well. That portion of the casing must be perforated not less than four times per each 2 linear feet to allow the plugging fluid to penetrate the annular space and the geologic formation. The perforations made in each 2 linear feet of the casing must be made along a horizontal plane of the well bore. A well with a diameter of more than 8 inches in nominal size must be perforated a sufficient number of additional times per linear foot to ensure that the plugging fluid penetrates into the annular space and formation. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 8 and 9, the well driller shall then plug the well from the total depth of the well to 50 feet above the uppermost saturated groundwater stratum or to

AG-0261-S-14-0094 AUSTIN WELL DECOMMISSIONING Page 13 of 39 within 20 feet of the surface of the well with neat cement, cement grout, bentonite chips or bentonite grout containing not less than 20 percent sodium bentonite by weight of water. If the neat cement, cement grout, bentonite chips or bentonite grout containing not less than 20 percent sodium bentonite by weight of water is not brought to within 50 feet above the uppermost saturated groundwater stratum or to within 20 feet of the surface of the well, the well driller shall:

(1) Measure the depth of the top of the lower plug with the appropriate equipment after he or she has allowed sufficient time for the lower plug to set up;

(2) Continue to install neat cement, cement grout, bentonite chips or bentonite grout containing not less than 20 percent sodium bentonite by weight of water until the top of the lower plug remains at least 50 feet above the top of the uppermost saturated groundwater stratum; and

(3) Install uncontaminated fill material or one of the plugging materials described in subsection 3 of NAC 534.4371 from the top of the lower plug to within 20 feet of the surface of the well.

6. The well driller shall place a surface plug in the well consisting of neat cement, cement grout or concrete grout from a depth of at least 20 feet to the surface of the well.

7. If the well casing does not break free and there is no evidence of a sanitary seal around the well casing, the well driller shall, in addition to the requirements of subsection 5, perforate the upper 50 feet of casing before setting the surface plug. The casing must have at least four perforations per each 2 linear feet of casing, and the surface plug must consist of neat cement and must extend from 50 feet below ground level to the surface of the well.

8. If there is evidence that water-bearing formations of different water quality or hydraulic head were encountered during the original well construction and the well casing does not break free, and if bentonite chips are used as the plugging material, the well driller must, in addition to the requirements of this section, perforate the casing, as needed, and place neat cement across each confining formation so that the plugging fluid penetrates the annular space and the geologic formation in that interval.

9. If the well casing does not break free and there is no well log available, the well driller must plug the well in accordance with paragraph (b) of subsection 5, except that bentonite chips must not be used as the plugging material, so that the plugging fluid penetrates the annular space and the geologic formation in the perforated intervals.

10. A well driller shall submit a log and record of work to the Division within 30 days after a water well has been plugged. The log and record of work must contain the location of the well by public land survey and county assessor’s parcel number, the name of the owner of the well, the condition of the well, the static water level before plugging and a detailed description of the method of plugging, including, but not limited to:

a. The depth of the well;

b. The depth to which the materials used to plug the well were placed;

c. The type, size and location of the perforations which were made in the casing;

d. The debris encountered in, milled out of or retrieved from the well; and

e. The materials used to plug the well.

11. If there is any standing liquid in the interval of the well bore that is being plugged, all grout materials used pursuant to this section must be placed by tremie pipe in an upward direction.

AG-0261-S-14-0094 AUSTIN WELL DECOMMISSIONING Page 14 of 39

12. If sodium bentonite chips or pellets are placed in the well, the chips or pellets must be placed in such a manner that a bridge does not occur. If bentonite chips are poured in standing water, the bentonite chips must be screened to eliminate the fines.
