constant rate pump test data were analyzed using the Theis equation for a confined aquifer and the Cooper-Jacob approximation to the Theis equation. Prior to the analysis, the pump test data were corrected using the Jacob correction for an unconfined aquifer. This correction is necessary to accurately predict drawdown in an unconfined aquifer. Both the Theis equation analysis and the Cooper-Jacob approximation to the Theis equation predicted the transmissivity and the storativity to be 1.3 x 10-2 feet squared per minute (W/min) and 1.0 x 10-4.

The average linear flow rate of ground water can be calculated from 1) the estimated background gradient across the site (0.01 foot per foot); 2) the value of hydraulic conductivity (7.47 x 1W); and 3) the estimated porosity of 35% (a conservative value for silts and clays). qa = K x dh/dl x 1/n Where: qa = average linear pore velocity K = hydraulic conductivity dh/dl = ground water gradient n = porosity Based on these values, the greatest average linear ground water velocity is approximately 11.2 feet per year. This velocity is equivalent to transport rate of a conservative (non-reactive) solute. 6.0 FINDINGS Results of the current and previous investigations are summarized as follows: • The site is located approximately 3,500 feet south of Highway 205 at an elevation of approximately 30 feet above mean sea level(NGVD-1929). Local topography is relatively flat, dipping slightly to the north. The site is bound by vacant lots to the east and south. Industrial properties are located to the north and west. 6 'F E
