【 摘 要 】

The P wells were installed in the late 80s as part of the SRP Baseline Hydrogeological Investigation for the purpose of updating and improving the current knowledge and understanding of the hydrogeological systems underlying the SRS. During the installation of the P well series wells, a total of more than 16,000 feet of unconsolidated geologic sediments were cored and are currently stored at the Core Facility and 129 wells were installed at eighteen widely spaced P well clusters. Each well cluster nominally consists of 8 observations wells screened at the water table down to the lower McQueen Branch aquifer (Middendorf Formation). The vertical distribution of the wells at each cluster not only provides information on the hydraulic head within each monitoring unit but also the vertical gradients between the different formations.
