GROUND WATER MONITORING <br />Monthly ground water samplings for water level were conducted at each <br />of the designated alluvial and deep wells during the third week of each month. <br />Quarterly water quality samples were collected during the first month of each <br />quarter (January, April, July, October). <br />Methods <br />During monthly visits to each station, water level measurements were <br />made using aSoil-Test Indicating Depth Meter with a conductance bridge. Levels <br />were recorded from the top of the well easing and reported as such. <br />Water quality samples were collected during the quarterly field trips. <br />Samples were obtained with a hand bailer, grabbing at least three casings of water <br />prior to sample collection. Parameters of temperature, pH and conductivity were <br />made in the field. All sampling equipment and handling procedures were consistent <br />with those described in the surface water methods section of this report. <br />Results <br />Results of all well water measurements collected during 1985 are <br />presented in Appendix 2 with major parameters summarized in Table 1. <br />Information concerning well depth and completion is also presented in the <br />Appendix. <br />The alluvial aquifer of Stollsteimer Creek sampled at stations A-1, W-1 <br />and W-5 indicate a direct connection with fluctuations of the creek. Water <br />elevations were highest during the high flow period in March and lowest during the <br />low flow period in August. Minor fluctuations occurred as a result of precipitation <br />events and evapotranspiration. Water quality sampling of the alluvial aquifer was <br />conducted at Stations W-1 and W-5. In general, chemical parameters were <br />consistent with those sampled in Stollsteimer Creek (Table 1). The water is <br />8 <br />
