This report summarizes results of drilling, construction, and testing of hydrologic test wells DS16-01 through DS17-17, and piezometers DS17-18 and DS17-19 at the Near West Site. The wells were drilled to provide hydrogeologic characterization of the groundwater system in the vicinity of the proposed tailings storage facility currently planned by Resolution Copper northwest of Superior, Arizona. Results of the drilling program will be used as baseline information to support the development of the Resolution Copper Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
