The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted aquifer interval isolation (packer) tests of discrete water-bearing zones using straddle packers in 13 wells in Northampton, Warminster, and Warwick Townships and Ivyland Borough, Bucks County, Pennsylvania during 2018-19 to support detailed groundwater investigations at and near the former Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC) Warminster, where groundwater contamination with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) had become a concern since 2014. The area is underlain by the Triassic-age Stockton Formation, which forms a fractured-sedimentary-rock aquifer used for private, industrial, and public drinking-water supply. The packer tests were conducted in 7 former production...

Two empirical simple linear regression models were developed from SedCam imagery and concurrent physical sediment samples over a 20-month period at the East Branch Brandywine Creek gage (USGS 01480870). The image files included here are a subset, used in the calibration dataset for these regression models. Models relate the explanatory variable, Rmax (maximum digital number of the red band, which peaks at a wavelength of 590 nanometers) to point and cross-sectional mean sample response variables (milligrams per liter). These regression models predict suspended-sediment concentration from a non-contact sediment surrogate technique to improve surface water monitoring operations. Files include Nikon Electronic Format...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
