Summary

As part of a research study in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army at Fort Irwin National Training Center, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) evaluated unsaturated zone soil property data of cores from a borehole for a newly drilled monitoring well near a dry well and Four-plex baseball field. Cores were continuous from land surface down to 240 feet below land surface and were drilled by consultants to EPA using sonic rotary–a fluidless drilling technique. Data on this page consist of: 1) field drilling notes from USGS and consultants to EPA (GeoSystems Analysis, Inc., Tucson, Arizona); 2) field descriptions of core lithology–including grain size, sorting, color, mineralogy, moisture content [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to help evaluate the vertical movement of water in the unsaturated zone caused by a nearby dry well used to recharge captured stormwater, and to evaluate hydrologic effects caused by a potential perching clay lens identified during previous site investigations. These data may be used to evaluate geologic and hydrologic properties observed at the monitoring well site.
