Three
wells were examined that were off Harmon's Creek Road near
the King Cemetery. Their access road is gated at several points.
This
well was set in a broad open area with its tank in a large
secondary containment dike with the cut slope as its fourth
wall. We couldn't see a rainwater drain for the dike.
The
well entrance was an earth road off a graveled road and had
deep ruts. This occurs where the entrance road crossed drainage
from the hillside. Drainage should be improved in this area
and the entrance graveled.
The
site was well grassed, amongst the better vegetated sites
we examined but there was a peculiar area clear of grass,
much churned by deer hooves. This is a feature we've seen
at other sites and we wonder if the soil is salty in this
area.
Maintenance
problems include a need for paint on all the metal of the
site and a fluid leak at one or more points on the Christmas
tree. A temporary repair of the pipe to the tank perhaps needs
to be made permanent.
