[Geysers] Old Faithful Protection Act

[Janet Chapple]

Jeff--

I've tried to research the same thing without a lot of success. I do 
know that the well that the CUT began to drill is no longer an active 
problem (as you say), and also that the USGS was charged (probably in 
the 1990s) with determining the relationship between the La Duke Hot 
Spring and those at Mammoth. Maybe you'd have some luck through USGS 
sources.
