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 yielded a hydraulic conductivity ranging <br />from 9.7 x 10-3 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 using 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 />
