The well driller for the exploratory stage of the concentration injection well project began work on January 30, 2012, and is
scheduled to be completed in June 2012. The exploratory test well program is nearing completion. Most sites have been tested
and reports finalized. The City of Clearwater and FDEP have reviewed the Preliminary Design Report (PDR), and the PDR is in the
process of being finalized. The RO2 impact analysis groundwater modeling has been completed and is being reviewed for use
with the Water Use Permit (WUP) that will be submitted to the District. The 60 percent design plans are being prepared for the
RO2 plant site, well heads, and raw water pipelines. A public meeting has been scheduled for the RO2 plant site for April 3, 2012.
