Results of Drilling, Construction, Equipping, and Testing at Hydrologic Test Wells DHRES-03, DHRES-04, DHRES-05, and DHRES-05B

This technical memorandum was prepared to summarize results of drilling, construction, equipping, and testing at hydrologic test wells DHRES-03, DHRES-04, and DHRES-05/DHRES-05B. The wells were installed to characterize hydrogeologic conditions in the Gila Conglomerate and Apache Leaf Tuff west of the Concentrator Fault in the vicinity of West Plant site and to provide monitoring locations for the aquifer west of the Concentrator Fault during dewatering operations in 2010 and 2011.

Results of Drilling, Construction, Equipping, and Testing at Hydrologic Test Well DHRES-06

This technical memorandum was prepared to summarize results of drilling, construction, equipping, and testing at hydrologic test well DHRES-06. The well was installed to characterize hydrogeologic conditions in the deep groundwater system south of the South Boundary Fault and to provide a monitoring point for the deep groundwater system during dewatering of existing mine workings. Monitoring data obtained from DHRES-06 will be incorporated into the RCM hydrologic monitoring program.

Preliminary Results and Analysis of Data Obtained at Deep Hydrologic Test Wells DHRES-01 and DHRES-02

This technical memorandum was prepared to provide an interim summary of data collected at wells DHRES-01 and DHRES-02. Deep hydrogeologic test wells DHRES-01 and DHRES-02 were drilled and constructed during the period May 2 to September 10, 2008. In order to measure hydraulic heads at specific elevations in the Apache Leap Tuff (Tal) and Whitetail Conglomerate (Tw), vibrating-wire pressure transducers were grouted in the annulus between the borehole wall and conductor casing at wells DHRES-01 and DHRES-02.
