Summary
From October 2016 to July 2018, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Maine Department of Transportation, collected surface, marine and borehole geophysical surveys to characterize the subsurface materials on land and under the water at a former mine facility in Brooksville, Maine. Borehole geophysical logs were collected from May 2-3, 2017 in five boreholes to identify geophysical properties, including the electrical properties and natural gamma emissions. In addition, fluid electrical conductivity and temperature were collected through the water column in the well. Results can be used to identify the water level and the lithologic contacts in the subsurface. Natural gamma, fluid electrical [...]

In addition, fluid electrical conductivity and temperature were collected through the water column in the well. Results can be used to identify the water level and the lithologic contacts in the subsurface. Natural gamma, fluid electrical conductivity, temperature and electromagnetic induction logs are provided in a series of files within a compressed (zip) file. Equipment used, measurement units and calibration information are described in the log files.

Purpose
The geophysical data were collected to characterize mine waste and glaciomarine deposits in and around the site of the former Callahan Mine in Brooksville, Maine. Borehole geophysical logs can provide ground truth to other surface and water-borne geophysical methods. Natural gamma and electromagnetic induction logs can help verify and improve the depths of lithologic contacts identified in drilling logs. In addition, the fluid electrical conductivity and temperature logs can provide fluid properties that can be used in the interpretation of other geophysical surveys conducted at the site.
