This well is after No API wells numbers 1-3 and 47-079-00702 in the long well access road group..

In the middle of the cluster of wells with no API numbers this well had a pleasant site.

The dike for the tank is substantial but we could see no rainwater drain. The tank's trapdoor was missing.

The road like others in the area is in bad shape and parts of the pad for the well are bare of vegetation.

		The paint on the pipes needs to be renewed. This photo also shows the somewhat spotty vegetation on the well pad.
		The tank had a satisfactory dike but as near as we could tell was without a rainwater dike. The trapdoor is missing for this tank.
