Numerous water quality samples are analyzed in the normal course of operations. For those, please refer to our Consumer Confidence Report.
In addition, an extensive monitoring program has been initiated in order to identify any impacts possibly resulting from the gas well operations at MIP. Data from that focused monitoring is available at the link shown below.
For that data, please note the following:
ND indicates NONDETECTABLE, meaning that a sample was taken, and the results were so small that they fall below the detection limit of the analytical procedure.
Sampling was suspended after Aug. 31 due to inactivity at the well site.
Sampling resumed Sept. 21, in preparation for fracking to begin soon thereafter.
Data is not immediately available following sampling. Results are normally received about 30 days later.
Locations tested are:
- Mon River along its west bank at MIP
- Mon River along its east bank at the MUB water plant intake – this site was added after July 6 in order to better discern any differences in characteristics across the width of the river.
- Sed Trap #1 - at the well site, downstream of the well pad
- Sed Trap #2 - at the well site, downstream of the well pad
- Access Road Sed Trap - at the entrance of the access road to the well site – this site was terminated after July 6 as it was determined that the Sed Trap #1 and #2 locations were adequately representative.
