Mitchell suggested that some of the more technical questions be addressed to Mr. Thomas Zancanella, the Pool’s engineer. Digital photos were taken. At 0830 on April 14, the contractors met with members of the Geothermal Task Force at City Hall. The meeting lasted about two hours during which time the Scope of Work, the purposes and objectives of the Task Force, the reasons for the failure to develop the resources in the 1980’s, the effects of the several tests of the Redstone well on the Wright well, nearby seeps and springs, some U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) observation wells, and the Yampah Spring were discussed to greater or lesser degrees. Also, the contractors were given current prices for electricity and natural gas. Present at the meeting, among others, were representatives of the Hot Springs Pool Association (HSPA), the City, Holy Cross Energy, the Colorado Department of Transportation, and the local citizenry. Historic differences of opinion between the HSPA and the other groups were diplomatically referenced. Immediately following the meeting the contractors were driven by Robin Millyard on a tour of the Redstone well area after which, Hobo Hot Spring, the two Graves Hot Springs, and Seep #18 were viewed from the south bank of the Colorado River, near the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream gauging station. A short drive uphill through a housing development was then taken in search of travertine (hot spring deposits) exposures reported in the literature. In the afternoon, discussions were held with Task Force members Dean Moffatt and Thomas Zancanella who had not been able to attend the morning City Hall meeting. Mr. Moffatt provided a great deal of historical perspective regarding the resource evaluations, well drilling and pump testing of the 1980’s and early 1990’s. He also discussed in detail the Ground Source Heat Pump system installed at the Midland Center. Included were the names of the system designers, the drillers, and the pros and cons of the system to date. Mr. Zancanella (and his son Tony) were rather reserved, but answered some questions regarding engineering aspects of the Pool operations, showed helpful Google-Earth photos of the old spring sites, and led tours of the Pool, the cistern outflow pipe, and the Redstone, Hobo, and Graves areas. Later in the day, Mr. Huttrer sampled waters issuing from a N35-40E trending fault in the Vapor Caves. The morning of Wednesday, April 15 was spent collecting water samples, measuring temperatures and pHs and taking more photographs at the Hobo, Graves, and Yampah Springs cistern outflow sites. Dr. Lund and Ms Boyd examined the Vapor Caves. Next, a lunch meeting was held with Mr. Joe Kracum, a local citizen interested in and very familiar with geothermal development efforts in Glenwood Springs and in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Mr. Kracum further enlightened the contractors about geothermal development attempts in the 1980s and 1990s as well as about some of the conflicting ideas of the HSPA and the City over the years. After lunch, the contractors returned to the southern river bank where the entrance to the old Vapor Caves was found and photographed. From that general vantage point, Mr. Huttrer plotted the locations of the basal contact of the Leadville Limestone and the attitude (strike and dip) of the Wright fault on a Google-Earth photo provided by Mr. Zancanella. While this work was in progress, Mr. Wayne Shelton of the Shelton Drilling Corporation, Basalt, Colorado, returned a previous phone call and provided an estimated cost of ~$125 per foot, all inclusive, for the cost of drilling an ~800 foot deep well, with an 8-10” bottom-hole diameter, into the Leadville Limestone. 11PDF Image | GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO
