Dear Sharon Clough,
Forgive me for being pedantic, but I would like to know whether or not there are injection wells being used to store said by-products, and your reiteration that there have been no applications does not directly answer my question. It infers that the answer is 'no', I understand, but I would like a clear answer please.
So, are there or are there not injection wells in the Canterbury region for storing said by-products? I will be happy with a yes/no answer.
Yours sincerely,
Paul McMahon

Hello
I can only search our records and database on specifics, and saying we have no applications means, I have searched our database and we have no records. I am sorry I cannot say what I don't know.
My answer must stay the same, we have no records that show we have received any applications for injection wells in the Canterbury region for storing said by-products?
Please give me a ring if you would like, my number is 0275497656
Regards Sharon
