Drilling, Testing, and Monitoring of up to 12 Temperature Gradient / Passive Seismic Geothermal Exploratory Wells; Deschutes County, Oregon
The Bureau of Land Management issued an EA that analyzed the potential environmental impacts of a proposal to drill, test, and monitor up to 12 temperature gradient/passive seismic geothermal exploratory wells within the Deschutes National Forest in Deschutes County, Oregon. DOE, a cooperating agency in preparing DOE/EA-1758, proposed to fund the drilling of the exploratory geothermal wells.
