After temperature, pH, and conductivity stabilized, another run was made for final field and lab
<br />samples. Usually the most representative sample is selected (after purging) in the middle of the
<br />run, and this mid-point sample is in bold below:
<br /> ~
<br />9.0 2,210 18.1
<br />9.1 2,100 15.9
<br />9.1 2,180 15.1
<br />9.1 2,160 14.5
<br />9.2 2,190 14.2
<br />9.2 2,250 14.3
<br />It is interesting that the first run contained higher conductivity than subsequent runs, but purging
<br />was adequate to remove existing casing water below the bentonite seal, therefore the final
<br />sample is typical of water in the lower open zone of the well. Expected conductivity of > 10,000
<br />may slowly develop over time.

<br />During the third run, it was obvious that conductivity was >40,000, and pH was in the low 8s,
<br />typical of the Dissolution Surface aquifer.
