Around 10:30 A M local time while inspecting the arm roads for tumbleweeds, John and I found a GSA vehicle stuck ~ 500 meters south of the Y End station and ~50 meters east of the access road. I have tracked the vehicle by license plate # to the fleet manager and she is contacting the manager that the vehicle is assigned to. I told her that in the future, anyone entering the site should, 1. Enter by the gate and not the desert and 2. Notify the control room when on site. I also asked that the vehicle be removed tomorrow during our maintenance period.
The manager of GWS has contacted me and agreed to remove the vehicle tomorrow during our maintenance period. He indicated that they did not think anyone was on site yesterday which is why they choose to enter from the desert. I informed him that there is someone here 24/7 and to please inform the control room of their intentions henceforth.
GWS = Ground Water Services - ie well testing.
I distinctly remember the X ARM.....
