Larson, J D; Beetem, W A

An inventory of wells and springs in the Rulison Project area was made from March 20 to April 3 and May 20 to 25, 1969, to provide background data on the quantity and quality of ground and surface waters. The detonation of the nuclear device emplaced at a depth of 8,425 ft below land surface was accomplished successfully on Sept. 10, 1969. Following the event, selected wells, springs, and cisterns were physically examined to provide background information for evaluation of possible damage complaints.
