unconfined condition The aquifer thickness is assumed to 5 95 feet, the distance from the static water level to the bottom of the pumping well This aquifer thickness is assumed to apply at all four o wells from which interpretable data was obtained The apparent thickness of the observation rP saturated materials varies from day to day, depending on the depth to the top of the saturated materials 42 Water Bearing Formation Characteristics The log-log drawdown graphs presented in Attachment C in Figure Cl to C7 are presented so that the data can be rapidly compared to available type curves Pump test analysis theory is not strictly applicable at the pumped well and therefore will not be applied to the pumping well data ' (Figure Cl) The hydrologic characteristics of the responding observation wells (Figure C2 N W- 5, Figure C3, P-3, Figure C4, P-5, and Figure C5, P-2) are interpreted in this section The ' response at wells P-4 and P-1 is not adequate for interpretation from a 1,000 minute aquifer test at their distances from the pumping well The available curves indicate that interpretable data would be available after in excess of 5,000 minutes for these wells Type curves contained in Kruseman, de Ridder, and Verweij (1990), Lohman(1972) and standard text references were examined to select appropriate type curves for determination of transmissivity and storage coefficient The type curves selected for analysis of the early time data available from this constant rate test were those for anisotropic unconfined aquifers experiencing an elastic response Late time data is not availableas this would have required continuing the constant rate test for an additional four , 1 to five days In addition, the response in the observation wells is obscured by other drainage phenomena, boundary condition effects, or minor variation in discharge rate (power fluctuations ' and response to nearby pumping wells) Partial penetration effects were not considered in this analysis Actual type curve matching was performed using the software Graphical Well Analysis Package (GWAP, version 2 36) developed by Groundwater Graphics, Inc of Oceanside, California ' H2 0 GE 0 L A GROUND WATER CONSULTANCY
