Meridan Suite 101 Kalispell, Montana 59901 RE: Kalispell Test Well Dear Mr. Frazer Our normal well logging procedure consists of recording samples of different stratas, their descriptions, the depth where at which they were found, thickness, and whether there was water present or not. Sample bags are marked to the representative depths. Larger quantities of samples are collected in zones that may need to have a screen set or the casing perforated. We also have a spit spoon sampler, should it be needed. If you have any questions or wish to have me attend the June 5th council meeting, please call me. Thank you, Forrest D.

Prior to that time I had dealt with a number of drillers, all providing water but with varying degrees of satisfaction/dissatisfaction. Since he dug that first well for me, he has gotten all of my well drilling business. My preference for using Western Water Works is: #1. Their equipment is modern and less given to breakdown, thus keeping my projects on schedule. #2. Their crews are technically skilled. Anyone (almost) can punch a hole in the ground and call it a well, but to gain maximum production from a well the driller must know how deep to drill for maximum flow. Too shallow or too deep by even ten feet can affect flow by over fifty percent. This same skill will affect the clarity (lack of sand/silt). #3. The integrity of Mr. Groves and Western Water Works relieves one of concern regarding the drilling procedure and well completion. I am too busy to "baby-sit" contractors, I must have people I can trust. With Western Water Works drilling my wells I have one less problem with which to be concerned. Already this year Western Water Works has drilled several wells for me and before fall will drill a half dozen more. As you can see, they have my confidence as well as my business. I therefore recommend them to you without reservation. erely, t&ke ri 11)r'Ul'1l. i nt'.. r-- I 2727 Airport Road a Helena, Montana 64601 & (406) 443-4150 6 PAX (406) 443-4155 May 12, 1994 Missoula pity -Gaunt; 301 West (Alder Missoula, IMT 59802 Health Department To Whom; It May Concern: Hydrometrics, Inc. has used Western Water Works as a well drilling contractor for several of its projects in western Montana. I have personally worked with Mr, Frosty Groves to construct test wells for water supply exploration in Missoula for Mountain Water Company, and to construct groundwater monitoring wells at the Columbia Falls Aluminum Plant. 1 have found Frosty to be very easy to work with and knowledgeable on the principals of well construction. He has provided valuable on -site advice with regard to well completion that has been beneficial to our technical investigations.
