McGinnis and Associates

Well abandonment is always tough on shallow old wells. Our favorite option: pull them out! It can be surprisingly easy, and not leaving the plastic in the ground is ideal. Thanks to Weeks Drilling and Pump Co. for the antique homemade clamps.

McGinnis and Associates is proud to support the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe in their efforts to revitalize community assets through their Brownfields Program. We are currently assisting with a Request for Proposal (RFP) for professional Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint Abatement services for two historic structures on the Fort McDermitt Reservation in Nevada.

This project is a critical step toward the safe future reuse of the Green Building and the Old Calvary Building. We are looking for qualified contractors who prioritize safety, quality of service, and competitive value.

Project Highlights:
Location: Fort McDermitt Reservation (Nevada/Oregon border).
Scope: Full ACM and LBP abatement for two structures.
Compliance: Work must meet all EPA, OSHA, and Tribal guidelines.
Preference: Native-owned abatement companies are encouraged to apply.

Submission Details:

Leaky connection at the wellhead? 💦 Very delayed maintenance for sure... This is more than just wasted water; standing water at the wellhead is always an issue! Surface water can move down boreholes with old or imperfect seals, leading to bacterial issues and other problems. 👀

Bad case of chicken pox on the monitoring well cover? Nope, just birdshot! Anything that stands out in undeveloped areas can end up getting used for target practice. The thin metal of the cover will get some scars, but we usually spec heavier metal at the wellhead.
