Blow up strip mine eco wells was a mission in Jak II. Baron Praxis had eco wells drilled at the strip mine, except according to Vin, he never intended to pipe them into the city grid. The open eco wells would also attract more Metal Heads meaning they had to be closed off forcefully. However, due to Daxter, the plasmite bombs intended to use for this were all prematurely activated; forcing Jak into a timed challenge. In truth, the Baron intended to leave the eco wells open to honor his end of the deal with the Metal Head leader.
