47-079-____ -- No API #5

A cluster of wells without API numbers is at the southern end of the long main well access road. This is the last, second after 47-079-01155.

The road for this well is in bad shape. The site had poor vegetation on the pad and there is no containment dike for the tank. We did not take photographs at this site because of time. The site resembled the layout for No API #1.

An API number is required by the state to be displayed at the well. This well is probably 47-079-01354 as determined by studying maps in the Office of Oil and Gas.
