Objective(s): The purpose of this work is to undertake an environmental assessment of the wellsite and associated facilities. The objective of this assessment is to delineate impacted areas (vertically and horizontally) identified in the 2002 and 2003 assessments. In 2002, an Environmental Site Assessment indicated elevated metals and salts, and the existence of subsidence in an area northwest of the former sump wellhead. In 2003, an Environmental Site Assessment was conducted and the presence of elevated arsenic and electrical conductivity concentrations were confirmed within the former sump area. Elevated hydrocarbon, cadmium, and selenium were found within the area of the vent stack.
