the changing water levels observed in the field are recorded with <br /> respect to time. The hydraulic conductivity is then derived from a <br /> modified version of the Thiem equation. <br /> Results of slug testing on Well G-1 were analyzed using two methods. <br /> In the first method, the assumption is made that the well fully <br /> penetrates the water-bearing zone. The second method assumes the well <br /> is completed at some distance above the lower confining layer. The <br /> fully penetrating analysis ielded a hydraulic conductivity ranging <br /> from 9.7 x 10 to 9.8 x 10-3 cm/sec. The partially penetrating case <br /> yielded similar values ranging from 8..3 x 10-3 to 8.4 x 10-3 cm/sec. <br /> Plots of the water level changes during the falling- and rising-head <br /> portions of the test are presented on Plates E-1 and E-2. Permeabili- <br /> ty results are presented in Table E-1 . <br /> Tests of Permeameters P-2 and P-3 were conducted using the method <br /> developed for falling-head tests above the water table in unsaturated <br /> media (Jarvis, 1949) . The wells were filled with clear water and kept <br /> full for a day prior to the test in order to wet the tested interval . <br /> Following this presoaking period, the rate of water level decline with <br /> time was measured in both Permeameters P-1 and P-2, using a pressure <br /> transducer and datalogger. Plates E-3 and E-4 show graphs of water <br /> level change versus time. Test data was analyzed us.tng the equation <br /> presented by Jarvis (1981) . This analysis yielded a permeability of <br /> 3.3 x 10-7 cm/sec for Permeameter P-2 and a permeability of <br /> 2.2 x 10-7 cm/sec for Permeameter P-3 (see Table E-1) . <br /> i <br /> i <br />
