SRP baseline hydrogeologic investigation: Phase I
The objective was to install 17 to 18 well clusters of approximately 8 wells each at key locations across the SRP site in order to: (1) provide information on the lithology, stratigraphy, and hydrogeology of the plant site; and (2) provide high quality observation wells to monitor the groundwater quality, hydraulic heat relationships, gradients, and flow paths that exist at present and to track how these parameters may change in the future as water use increases or decreases both on and off the plant site. The Phase I program consisted of geologic sampling, geophysical logging, physical testing of selected sediment samples, and construction of 20 observation wells located at three widely spaced cluster sites (P-13, P-14, and P-15). The target horizons for completion of wells at each cluster location included: (1) bottom of the lower Tuscaloosa aquifer; (2) top of the lower Tuscaloosa aquifer; (3) bottom of the upper Tuscaloosa aquifer; (4) top of the upper Tuscaloosa aquifer; (5) bottom of the Congaree aquifer; (6) top of the Congaree aquifer; (7) bottom of the McBean Formation; and (8) the water table. The actual completion depths of the wells vary depending on the ground surface elevation and the specific geologic conditions encountered at each cluster location. 10 refs., 18 figs.
