Characteristics of fractures in crystalline bedrock determined by surface and borehole geophysical surveys, Eastern Surplus Superfund Site, Meddybemps, Maine

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:20005910

Surface and borehole geophysical methods were used to determine fracture orientation in crystalline bedrock at the Eastern Surplus Superfund Site in Meddybemps, Maine. Fracture-orientation information is needed to address concerns about the fate of contaminants in ground water at the site. Azimuthal square-array resistivity surveys were conducted at 3 locations at the site, borehole-acoustic televiewer and borehole-video logs were collected in 10 wells, and single-hole directional radar surveys were conducted in 9 wells.
