Consider and/or act upon Order of General Election for November 8, 2022. Vanessa Cardwell made a motion to Order an Election to be held on November 8, 2022. Motion was seconded by Ronnie Cooper. Motion passed. Record Vote: 10 FOR -0-Oppose 1Absent 0 Abstain Update on San Andres well-plugging initiative and progress made at Boehmer Lake (Sloan Blair #1). Raymond L Straub Jr, P.G. of Straub Corporation presented a draft poster of the Sloan Blair #1 Well. The poster was a visual representation of the subsurface structure of the well with associated formations, well construction, and various Minutes of 08-16-2022 Page Sof 8 screen shots of the well bore from a video log that was performed by MPGCD. Based on the images provided from the video log, the well bore showed significant deterioration of the surface and intermediate casing strings as well as the cement seal surrounding them. Subsurface formations were clearly visible through the holes in the casing. The bore became cavernous beyond 464 feet and at 487 feet a large rock blockage was encountered. The video log was terminated at the blockage. These holes in the casing expose the shallow groundwater to upwelling and flowing highly mineralized groundwater with elevated radionuclides and H2S which is discharging from the bore. Mr. Straub also provided a preliminary verbal report on the laboratory results from the groundwater sampling event that was performed on the Gomez Road Fiowing Well on July 11, 2022. The preliminary results from the analyses indicated elevated radionuclide constituents above the EPA Primary Drinking Water Standards were present in the provided sample. Additionally, several water quality constituents exceeded EPA Secondary Drinking Water Standards. Elevated levels of Hydrogen Sulfide gas above OSHA safety standards were collected at the well head. The well appeared to have a deteriorated fabricated wellhead similar to an oilwell wellhead. The discharge control valve had become rotten and had fallen off. There were multiple pieces of broken plastic pipe and concrete debris lodged in the well. Some of the broken pipe and concrete were removed. MPGCD performed a video log of the well and found the intermediate casing was separated near the surface below the top of the well head allowing rising water to flow from the intermediate casing and come in contact with the surface casing. A blockage of PVC pipe was encountered at a depth of approximately 50 feet. The camera was unable to go beyond this interval. Boehmer Lake Land Work Summary The Boehmer Lake flowing well also known as the Sloan Blair #1 is located on Tract 49 in Block 10 Section 35, H&GN RR Co Survey, Pecos County, Texas. This well has been classified by the Railroad Commission as a P-13 well and the responsibility of the landowner. Railroad Commission documents indicate that at the time of the transfer of the well from a permitted oil and gas well to a P-13 water well the driller and operator of the well was George Abell and the landowner of the well was William P. Neely Trustee. Railroad Commission documents show the address for both parties at PO Box 430, Midland, TX. Land research indicates that at the time of the transfer, George Abell and William P. Neely were both Trustees of the Mary Hatheway and Robert James Abell Foundation. Land research further indicates that both George Abell and William P. Neely and the Abell Foundation continued to be involved in transactions surrounding Tract 49 and the “flowing sulfur wells” as late as September 1988 and that they could still have partial ownership under a 99-year agricultural lease that links the parties to the property. Research is ongoing. Abell-Hanger Foundation is a private foundation and philanthropic organization with a mailing Minutes of 08-16-2022 Page 6 of 8 address of PO Box 430, Midland, Texas, with current assets valued at approximately $128MM. Their current mineral holdings in Pecos County are tax appraisal valued at over $
