DOWiihole pressure transducers were used to collect drawdown information from PZ 1 A, PZ 1 B, PZ2A, PZ2B MW3, RW i A, and RW 1 B Depth to water in the other surrounding wells was measured periodically with the depth to water meter and recorded TEST SCHEDULE I Week prior to start test Place pressure transducers in RW 1 A and RW 1 B and MW3 and barometric transducer in RW 1 A 2 Day one, Step drawdown test RW1A performed The well was pumped 3 43 hours, the formation was then allowed to recover over night 3 Day two, step drawdown test RW 1 B performed The well was pumped for 5 95 hours, the formation was then allowed to recover overnight 4 Day three, constant rate test RW1A Test lasted into day four (24 hours) The formation was allowed to recover for one day 5 Day Five, constant rate test RWIB Test lasted into day six (24 hours) Formation allowed recover for one day Results STEP DRAWDOWN TEST RWIA The step drawdown test in RWIA indicated that the well had to be pumped at less than 1 gpm in order to perform a constant drawdown test At a rate faster than this the well was quickly drawn down below the intake of the pump STEP DRAWDOWN TEST RWIB During the test the pump rate was increased from 0 8 gpm to 5 0 gpm At 5 gpm the well was drawn down a total 4 72 feet From the results of the test, it was determined that the optimal pumping rate for RW 1 B during the constant rate test should be approximately 4 gpm CONSTANT RATE PUMP TEST RW1A RW I was pumped at a rate of 0 725 gpm The most striking thing seen during the test was that drawdowns occurred both in the upper sand and the lower sand The pumping well was quickly drawn down 4 25 feet were it reached equilibrium The drawdowns seen in the observations wells were so strongly influenced by leakage between the two aquifers that only the early data from the pumping well could be used to produce an estimate of the Transriussivity (T) of the upper aquifer Using the Cooper and Jacob straight-line method the T was calculated to be 28 ftZ/day At RW1A the upper sand is approximately 5 5 feet thick so the resulting Hydraulic Conductivity is 5 1 May (28ft /day/5 5ft) This value is only an estimate because of the presence of cross-aquifer leakage 4 Pump Test 1/20-27103
