Ralph Fetherolf the landowner of the well met me on location to show me documents from the courthouse that shows the lease has been broken on this well. During my field inspection today I called Elmer , he is the operator and owner of Victor McKenzie Drill Co. I talked with him to see when he was planning on plugging this well. He stated to me that he is sending in for the plugging permit for the well now. They were working on getting it complete. I asked him what time frame he was looking at to plug the well. Elmer then stated he would call me when he got the plugging permit and go from there. I will call him back next month to check on the status of it. I took new pictures of the well today during my inspection for my report.
