sandstone aquifer, discussed on pages II.0 -93 and II.0 -94, and the White <br />River alluvium aquifer. The applicant needs to provide the following in- <br />formation for these two aquifers: the depth below the surface and the <br />horizontal extent of the water table (or piezometric surface) and the <br />aquifer; the lithology and thickness of the aquifers; known uses of the <br />water in the aquifers; and, the quality of the water in the aquifers. <br />(b) <br />The recharge, storage, and discharge characteristics, and discharge areas <br />of the two aquifers above also need to be discussed. Data from pump tests <br />(transmissivity, storativity, seasonal water level fluctuations, and chem- <br />istry) needs to be indicated. <br />The applicant noted within the permit application that the groundwater <br />quality information provided was questionable. If new groundwater quality <br />information is available at this time it should be provided. If this in- <br />formation is not presently available, the applicant should make an attempt <br />to characterize groundwater quality information by using published data <br />and propose a plan and timetable for submitting new, reliable groundwater <br />quality information. <br />Is it possible that the presence of drilling fluid, which affected ground <br />water quality sampling, could also have affected the pump testing? <br />For the two aquifers discussed in Section 2.04.7 (1)(a) of this review the <br />applicant should also discuss the possibility of intercommunication be- <br />tween all of the bedrock aquifers and the alluvium along the White River, <br />Scullion Gulch, and Red Wash. <br />In the meeting of February 27, 1981, the applicant explained why ground- <br />water quality information was submitted only for the southeast portion of <br />the permit area. When the new groundwater information is submitted the <br />applicant should include all information collected to date, and propose a <br />-4- <br />
