Title: Geohydrologic data from test holes UE-25 UZ {number_sign}4 and UE-25 UZ {number_sign}5, Yucca Mountain Area, Nye County, Nevada

Abstract

Data collected to determine the hydraulic characteristics of rocks penetrated by test holes UE-25 UZ No. 4 and UE-25 UZ No. 5 are presented. These test holes are part of a series of test holes drilled in and near the southwestern part of the Nevada Test Site in an investigation conducted by the US Geological Survey in cooperation with the US Department of Energy. This investigation is part of the Yucca Mountain Project Branch, Hydrologic Investigations Program (formerly Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations) to determine the suitability of this site for storage of high-level radioactive wastes in an underground mined repository. Data on drilling operations, lithology, coring, and laboratory analyses of hydrologic characteristics of core and cuttings samples are included in this report.
