<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />geological data, and surface-water data (Turkey Creek discharge information) will be stored in the <br />database. ' <br /> <br />F.2. Description of pilot study tasks for FY1999 <br /> <br />The following tasks are proposed for completion in FY1999: <br /> <br />(1) Continue the pilot studv monitorinq proqram. The surface-water gage and precipitation gages will <br />continue to operate to provide information about the Turkey Creek water budget. Geostatistics <br />will be used to identify wells needing additional monitoring to provide a record of ground-water <br />levels and water quality. If water-level monitors have been installed on selected ground-water <br />wells, these records will continue. If the evapotranspiration instruments are available, data <br />collection will continue to provide information about this piece of the water budget. The findings of <br />the monitoring program will be detailed in a data report. <br /> <br />(2) Expand the evaluation of the fracture svstem in the Turkev Creek basin. Satellite photographs will <br />be examined for obvious surface fractures. Methods will be explored to involve the Geologic <br />Division in the study. Any newly installed wells could be logged using geophysical techniques to <br />determine the location of the fracture systems and the water bearing zones. Tracer tests could <br />determine how the fracture systems are connected and aquifer tests can provide information <br />about the porosity of the ground-water system. <br /> <br />(3) Maintain the pilot studv database. All additional information gathered in year two of the pilot study <br />will be incorporated into the study database. This will include water-level data, water-quality data, <br />and information about the fracture systems. <br /> <br />(4) Refine water-budqet model for the Turkev Creek Basin. Data obtained from the first year of study <br />will be used to refine the water-budget model. <br /> <br />(5) Refine the qround-water modelinq module for PRMS to incorporate the fracture data. A ground- <br />water model for fractured bedrock will be incorporated into the PRMS modular system. As <br />information is learned about the Turkey Creek basin, the model will be refined to simulate the <br />dynamics of the system. <br /> <br />(6) Produce GIS coveraqe maps of the information learned from the monitorinq proqram. Changes in <br />water-level maps and contaminant plumes between the first and second year can be illustrated <br />using the GIS tools. <br /> <br />F.3. Description of pilot study tasks for FY2000 <br /> <br />The following tasks are proposed for completion in FY2000: <br /> <br />(1) Continue the pilot study monitorinq proqram. The surface-water gage and precipitation gages will <br />continue to operate to provide information about the Turkey Creek water budget. Water-level <br />data and water-quality data will be collected from the well network selected by geostatistics. <br /> <br />(2) Continue refinement of the water-budqet model for the Turkev Creek Basin. Include the data <br />collected in the second year in the water-budget model. <br /> <br />(3) Refine the PRMS model and produce several prediction based on the model. The PRMS model <br />will be calibrated to simulate the Turkey Creek basin water system. When this has been <br />completed, prediction models will be produced to examine impacts to the basin with additional <br />growth. <br /> <br />(4) Maintain the pilot study database. All additional information gathered in year three of the pilot <br />study will be incorporated into the study database. <br /> <br />7 <br />
