Geothermal reconnaissance techniques attempted in this study included a water temperature survey, and chemical analyses of springs and wells. The temperature survey identified 12 wells with water temperatures 20/sup 0/C or higher. These wells were, however, located throughout the study area and with the exception of one location (W-15), exhibited no other low-temperature thermal characteristics that indicated warmer temperatures could be expected at depth or within the vicinity. Sample location W-15 was similar, chemically, to Hooper and Ogden Hot Springs as well as samples collected from three other non-thermal wells in the area. Although these three samples had temperatures that …

Description
Geothermal reconnaissance techniques attempted in this study included a water temperature survey, and chemical analyses of springs and wells. The temperature survey identified 12 wells with water temperatures 20/sup 0/C or higher. These wells were, however, located throughout the study area and with the exception of one location (W-15), exhibited no other low-temperature thermal characteristics that indicated warmer temperatures could be expected at depth or within the vicinity. Sample location W-15 was similar, chemically, to Hooper and Ogden Hot Springs as well as samples collected from three other non-thermal wells in the area. Although these three samples had temperatures that only ranged from 14/sup 0/ to 16/sup 0/C, chemical geothermometer results indicate temperatures to be expected at depth range from 60/sup 0/ to 90/sup 0/C. Other chemical characteristics of these samples indicative of low-temperature geothermal potential not previously identified include common ion concentrations high in Na and Cl, high concentrations of trace elements such as Li, Ba, and Sr, as well as Ca/HCO/sub 3/ and Cl/B ratios greater than background.
