This report presents the results of single-well hydraulic tests performed in seven wells in the vicinity of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site in southeastern New Mexico in 1988 and 1989. The tests discussed in this report were performed in four of the five members of the Rustler Formation. The tests include: a slug-withdrawal test of the unnamed lower member of the Rustler ate well H-16; slug-withdrawal and slug-injection tests of the Culebra Dolomite Member at well AEC-7; slug-injection tests of the Culebra at well D-268; a pumping test of the Culebra at well H-18; pulse-injection, slug-injection, and slug-withdrawal tests of Magenta Dolomite Member at well H-2b1; pulse-withdrawal, slug-withdrawal, and slug-injection tests of the Magenta at well H-3b1; and pulse-withdrawal and slug-withdrawal tests of the Forty-niner Member at well H-3d. The tests were intended to provide data on the transmissivities of the Rustler members for use in regional-scale modeling of groundwater flow through the Rustler.
