I noticed the big ass well head very close to the intersection of the
ET Highway and GLR. It is really far away from the "action." If it is
environmental, a report should show up in the ususual places (NTS,
Nellis, DRI).

I thought that was a water well that's part of a system to bring more water
to LV.  There's also one being drilled near the road that runs around the
east side of the Mormon Mountains.  I didn't notice how large that on was,
but they were still drilling back in May, '05.

the 2nd one is located on down the same road  half way to the east
gate  ...... I've heard tell there are several ( 4 )  more inside .
( don't know about  " all that " tho ......  )

East gate?

I'd think  it's HIGHLY unlikely anyone would drill for water  ,
especially to serve the city  LV   in the middle of the most well
documented and  potentially polluted radioactive underground  water
plume in the   USA.  ( the mayor of LV said   on TV that it extends
out  35 - 50 miles from ground  zero  to the east )    that and there
must be zillions of better places  ( like  that  gigantic underground
water reserve at north end  of the Pharangat  )    that are much
closer to the city !

But this well is to the east of the NTS. The plume heads to the west.

dunno what those really are  ( go take a look at them ) , but they
are bigger than any city water system well head I've ever seen
and located in  a  potentially  polluted underground  water system
area  ,  if they are for wells !   also ,   how do people get into
them ( service them etc  ) with the lid locks on the inside ?   plus
.. where are they  going to get power for them as well ?   ......
just stuff to think about ......

What we don't know is if this well was considered good. If you drill a
well that isn't up to snuff, you just don't walk away. You have created
a situation where surface water can now reach subsurface water. Note
that the cattle are a real source of pollution, so you can't let cow
pie runoff enter the aquifer. You have to line and cap the dud well.

we're probably all missing their real  applications !!! hah a haha
still interesting stuff ...... maybe one of the system engineers
will get on and inform us all as to what their purpose really is !

fun stuff  to sit and  think about while we're waiting for the
maglevs /  UFOs and aliens  to   show !!  ha ahaha ha hahaha

More along the lines of Dave's post, Las Vegas wants to build a
pipeline to bring water from about 300 miles away. Forget the oil wars,
the next battle will be water wars.

Regarding tapping the White River, you can't locate a well in a stream
or seasonal drainage.
