(4) Discussion and regarding City Project E16265 (Corpus Christi Aquifer Storage and
Recovery Feasibility Project)
a. Status update of Drilling program by Felder WW/HDR Inc. Ms. Kristi Shaw HDR
representative, provided a presentation for the status update of the Drilling program:
Of four Phase I sites tested, Site 1 is the best. Site 3 is the next best, with sandy interval
noted between 625-770 ft (i.e. 65-80% sand). Likely correlation with deepest test interval
at Site 1. Previous well production estimate of 300- 400 gpm with multi -interval operation
in best sands is expected. Confirmed with Phase II testing. Considerable inter -bedded
sand and clay layers. Desirable, sand intervals bounded by thick clay units on top and
bottom, which is generally considered desirable for ASR production to reduce vertical
movement and drift. Continuous sand intervals of 70ftt were not identified, however sand
intervals with minimal clays were noted. Gamma spikes in clay layers may be indicative

of radionuclides, to be confirmed during Phase II testing. Sands with high gamma
readings are not considered viable units for ASR storage. Swelling clays at greater depth
(>900 ft depth), poor water quality, and higher drilling/operation costs make deeper units
less attractive. February 16, 2018 is the date all the drilling activities will be completed.
b. Future activities under the current Contract. Ms. Shaw explained the board what the
future activities will be Geochemical analysis for the source of water and aquifer
compatibility. Evaluate aquifer response and recovery for different schedules and rates.
