The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Legacy Management (LM) proposes to abandon four groundwater monitoring wells that were installed in the 1990s near the Rocky Flats, Colorado, Site. Three of the wells are adjacent to the Great Western Reservoir, and one is adjacent to Standley Lake; the attached map shows the well locations. Wells 11994, 11894, and 49192 are in the City of Broomfield, and Well 49292 is in the City of Westminster. The wells are no longer needed for groundwater monitoring purposes and are scheduled to be abandoned before the end of 2010 and in accordance with regulations set forth by the State of Colorado. It is expected that the following activities would be completed in approximately 5 days, with a crew of up to four people to perform the work.
