In September of 1981, the Church Universal and Triumphant (CUT) purchased the Malcolm Forbes Ranch, located along the northwest boundary of Yellowstone National Park... On April 17, 1986, CUT drilled a 458-foot well directly across the Yellowstone River from La Duke Hot Spring, just 1.6 miles from the park boundary, for the purpose of intercepting and accessing the La Duke spring flow. They hoped to use this hot water for heating a small number of buildings and filling a hot spring pool (Francis, 1987)... In July 1988, a team from the USGS headed by Geothermal Hydrologist Dr. Mike Sorey met with YNP officials and scientists in order to discuss the 2-year study of the Corwin Springs KGRA -Mammoth Hot Springs area, the stated purpose of which was to determine the potential impacts of geothermal development in the Yellowstone Valley on thermal features in Yellowstone National Park.
