Summary

U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Miami-Dade County, performed a sequential, aquifer stress test from August 15 to October 12, 2011, on the Floridan aquifer system at the North District Wastewater Treatment Plant, in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Miami-Dade County stressed the Floridan aquifer system with four municipal injection wells at the North District. The U.S. Geological Survey measured pressure with a Level TROLL 700 from August 15, 2011, to October 12, 2011, in the upper zone of Floridan aquifer system monitoring well FA-1. These data are part of a larger data set that describe the stress test at the North District (King, 2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7QZ2819).

Purpose

In conformance with the USGS strategy for water science (Evenson and others, 2013, http://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1383g/), the USGS, in cooperation with Miami-Dade County, conducted the sequential stress test described in this report to improve integrated science planning for water, clarify the linkage between human water use and the natural water cycle, and deliver water analyses to the Nation. The USGS will use measurements from the stress test, other measurements, and a numerical model to characterize the Floridan aquifer system at the North District WWTP with hydraulic tomography. Data described in this report will be used to integrate, into one study, subsurface effluent injection science needs of Miami-Dade County, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These data will improve integrated science planning for water and enhance a decision-support tool for water resources.

Input directly
The USGS deployed InSitu Level TROLL 700 data loggers in monitoring well piping connected to the upper zone of Floridan aquifer system monitoring well FA–1. The USGS selectively removed anomalous measurements associated with instrument failure from pressure measurements.
