~., ~ ~ - <br />INTEROFFICE MEMORANDOM <br />TO: <br />FROM <br />SUBJECT: <br />R.A. Mills DATE: <br />J.G. Nalven ~ ~~ <br />Valley Coal Co. - <br />November 21, 1986 <br />i <br />O1- <br />On November 11, 1986, a slug test was performed on We11 001-SP-7. <br />In addition, an attempt was made to slug test Well 001-SP-6. <br />This test was unsuccessful because the permeability of the spoil <br />aquifer was too high for the slug test method. <br />The tests were performed by displacing a volume equal to 0.24 <br />gallons of water with a bailer. The initial water level was <br />measured with an electric water level indicator for calibration <br />purposes. All other water level measurements were made with a <br />pressure transducer which measures to the nearest 0.01 feet with <br />an accuracy of 0.03 feet. The results of the test were analyzed <br />using the Bouwer and Rice method (1976) and the Papadopulos <br />method (1973). <br />The data and plots for Well 001-SP-7 are presented in Appendix A. <br />The test data indicates that the transmissivity in Well 001-SP-7 <br />is approximately 10 to 20 gallons/day/foot and the permeability <br />is approximately 0.3 gallons/day/square foot. The transmissivity <br />of well 001-SP-6 is estimated to be in the range of 10,000 to <br />100,000 gallons/day/foot based upon the similarity of response to <br />that obtained in Well 026-SP-2. Due to the small diameter of <br />Well 001-SP-6, additional permeability testing is probably not <br />warranted. <br />JGN/clr <br />Attachments <br />cc: G.A.
