Engineer: Mountain View production well likely infeasible after arsenic, nitrate findings
Summary
QK Engineer Spencer Supinger told the Chatom Union School Board that test-well samples showed arsenic and nitrates in deeper strata, making a production well likely infeasible; the State asked the district to pursue consolidation with Patterson and revisit Turlock, and is exploring forced consolidation processes.
Spencer Supinger, a QK Engineer, reported to the Chatom Union School Board that results from the Mountain View test well indicate the planned production well is likely not feasible because samples from deeper strata contained arsenic, nitrates and other constituents.
Supinger said the state advised the district to contact the City of Patterson about consolidation and to re-engage the City of Turlock about possible consolidation; he added the State is "looking into the process for possible forced consolidation." The board did not take further action on the item during the meeting; the update was presented as information.
