The Site of the Work is located approximately 300 feet north of the bridge for State Route 163 along the banks of the Colorado River in Laughlin, Nevada. The Work consists of the development and testing of an existing well. The stainless steel well was drilled and constructed in the Summer of 2019, however, limited development has occurred. Approximately 40,000 gallons of drilling fluid and formation water were removed from the well and stored in Baker tanks. The fluid was disposed of at a landfill facility. The well was treated with Aqua-Clear PFD (while swabbing) afterwards and allowed 2 days of chemical reaction time. Approximately 4 hours of actual air-lift development occurred when the project had to be stopped due to a technical problem. The screen is Johnson Screen stainless steel Super-Vee (thicker than standard wire-wrap). A technical constraint to the project involves the handling, treatment, and discharge of drilling fluids and development water. Development fluids must be routed through the Town of Laughlins raw water intake from the Colorado River. As such, development occurs when the surface water station is not providing water for the community and must be limited to 6 hours per day. Once turbidity levels reach an acceptable limit, water from the well can be processed by the plant.
