Don — Fantastic work, getting this turned around so quickly. I'll read the latest on my way to Cleveland County this morning.
Many, many thanks for all of your efforts on this project.

Thanks,
Can you forward a copy of the most recent language for the recommendations. I'm assuming, based on Kari's comments,
that the language may be a bit different from the last ones I saw.
I'll work on presentation slides for them.

No questions on these revisions. My only changes were grammatical /a couple of word choice revisions. I will see if Robin
wants to review it tomorrow.

Trina,
I addressed the needed changes in the text and revised Table 17.
The text still addresses water use for 4 development cycles per year based on the original 3 month well completion
window.
If you would rather have it focus on 6 cycles per year based on the well drilling times you sent today let me know.
I have a revised table for 6 cycles per year but would need to go through the text again and adjust for the decreased
number of wells per cycle.
An Excel file of the table is also attached if you want to reformat.
I should be reachable at home @ 919 - 929 -2058 after about 8pm or by email.
I know time is running short so let me know asap if you want any changes to our section and I'll get it back as quick as
possible.

I called API to ask about what exactly was encompassed in the 21 day estimate, since it is so different than the 2 day
estimate Chesapeake gave me. David Miller at API told me that the 21 days discussed at the API meeting in Raleigh was
NOT for water withdrawals. It's for the length of time needed to drill and complete a well. The estimate they give me
for total water withdrawal time (see below) is 2 to 4 days. So, we need to adjust that table in your section and the
language that discusses that table. I think 3 days is probably fine, since it's right between 2 and 4 days. I don't think this
changes any of our conclusions, but I could be wrong about that and if so let me know. I'm hoping we can just adjust the
table and fill in the numbers within the text where needed. I attached that piece of your section and I highlighted places
where I think numbers will change as a result of changing the water withdrawal window. Let me know if you have any
questions.

Good talking with you this morning, Trina. After speaking with one of our technical experts, using a typical centrifugal
pump you'd be looking at between 2 and 4 days for the total withdrawal, again depending on your permit, stream flow,
etc.
Thanks for the opportunity to provide this information and please feel free to call me if you have any additional
questions.
