<br />'- <br /> <br />'0' <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />(former core hole). The single-well aquifer test will be conducted by USGS person:]el using eith"r the drillers <br />test pump or the production pump in the completed well. <br /> <br />TASK 2 will be accomplished by analyses of the borehole geophysical logs IU::! on the core: lole. SP, <br />resistivity, natural gamma, and density porosity logs will be run in the well bore by a commercia: logging <br />company under contract to the driller. A lithologic log of the core will aid in geophysical log int"rpretation. <br /> <br />TASK 3 will be accomplished by a single sampling of discharge from the completed well an:! submission <br />of samples for laboratory analyses of standard inorganic constituents, heavy metals, radioactive (omponents, <br />dissolved organic carbon, and field determination of temperature, pH, eh, sulfid~, and alkalinity. Analyses will <br />be conducted by the USGS National Laboratory in Denver. <br /> <br />TASK 4 will be accomplished by compilation and publication of a data report which will do :ument <br />sampling and analytical procedures, analytical results, lIIId reference data and findings of other in vestigations <br />on the Kiowa core-hole project. Interpretative explanations will be prepared for in<:orporation bl' the Denver <br />Museum of Natural History in displays and presentations of study results. <br /> <br />I. BENEFITS: <br /> <br />The geohydrologic data collected from the core and core hole will provide vital infllnnation on tile water <br />yielding character of Colorado's most important drinkins--water aquifers. The depd] and location of the core <br />near the geographic center of the Denver Basin will detille conditions near the centl:r of a 2,000 lquarc-mile <br />area of little or no existing data. State regulatory agencies, Water purveyors, developers, and the general public <br />,wi1J benefit from a better understanding and a more acc:urate management of the lar:~ely nonrene"able ground- <br />water resources of the Denver Basin. <br /> <br />J. PRODUCTIREPORT: <br /> <br />A USGS Open:Pile Report will be published to document the results of the laboratory analyses aod other <br />geohydrologic data obtained from the core and core hole. <br /> <br />K. PERSONNEL: <br /> <br />All personnel are currently assigned to the USGS, WID, Colorado District Office. <br /> <br />3 <br />
