XRU-1 is a 2" slotted casing on the rim of the crater at the end
of the same roadway containing ARU-3.
It is marked with tape;
I believe that the remains of a flag are attached or nearby.
XRU-2a is about 20 m E. of ARU-3.
It has 4" casing sleeves, and
is marked with tape and a fiag.
I believe it is slightly N.W.

All of the wells with flag poles attached are easily visible
from anywhere in the vicinity; the unflagged ones should be
readily identifiable from this letter, plus the attached map/
description.

While on Runit I was asked if it would be all right if some
of the wells were extended or shortened to conform to anticipated
changes in ground elevation.
This is certainly acceptable; the
only request is that every effort be made to avoid knocking
local surface soil into the well, either through or beside the
casing.
I want to thank you and all of the others involved for your
cooperation and assistance,
If I can be of any further help,
please call on me, either directly or through the PASO
representative.
