Ground-water quality of the upper floridan aquifer near an abandoned manufactured gas plant in Albany, Georgia. Water resources investigation
The objectives of this investigation were to (1) verify the ground-water-quality data collected from the upper water-bearing zone of the Upper Floridan aquifer during an earlier investigation, (2) evaluate the quality of ground water in the lower water-bearing zone of the Upper Floridan aquifer in an area near the abandoned MGP, and (3) further describe the hydrogeologic framework of the Upper Floridan aquifer. The report describes the hydrogeologic characteristics and ground-water quality of the upper and lower water-bearing zones of the Upper Floridan aquifer using geologic logs, borehole geophysical logs, and ground-water-quality data. Borehole geophysical logs also were collected from this deeper (lower water-bearing zone) well. Ground-water-quality samples were collected from five wells tapping the upper water-bearing zone, and from one well tapping the lower water-bearing zone.
