each of these carbonate rock outcrop areas occupy

Each of these carbonate rock outcrop areas occupy approximately

1 percent of the total area of the basin.

Rocks of the Lower Ordovician Beekmantown Group crop out in

a small area north of Fairfield. These rocks are light- to medium-gray,

medium- to thick-bedded, limestones and dolomites. The total thickness

of the Beekmantown Group is approximately 2500-3000 feet but only a

small portion of this is exposed in Basin 13-D. No wells penetrate

the Beekmantown in this area but Taylor and Royer (1981) report that it

is a good aquifer in Franklin County. Water from the Beekmantown is

generally hard to very hard.

The Conestoga Formation (also Lower Ordovician) is a thin-bedded,

impure, dark-gray limestone with black to dark-gray shale and limestone

at the base. It occurs in a small area around Littiestown. Median

specific capacity of wells in this unit is 1.3 gpm/ft and the potential

yield is approximately 65 gpm (Lloyd and Growitz, 1977). The maximum

reported yield is 250 gpm. The water is very hard (median » 220 mg/1).

Water is transmitted in both of these carbonate aquifers through

a solution-enhanced, fracture porosity. Well yields vary considerably

depending on the number and size of fractures that are intersected.

Water in all of the carbonate aquifers is of the calcium-bicarbonate type.

Triassic Recks :

The Triassic rocks contain two principal hydrologic units which,

in this case, correspond to the formation designations. These are the

Gettysburg Fo-rmation, the uppermost Triassic unit, which consists of red

and maroon shale and silty mudstone with minor interbeds of ^shale, gray to red sandstone, and limestone or quartz-pebble fanglomerate ^

(pebble to boulder size conglomerate). The fanglomerates are distributed -

along the western border of the Gettysburg-York Basin and, in Basin 13-D

. «

limestone peboxe units occur in the Fairfield area and quartz pebble con-

glomerates can be found north and south of Cashtown. The Gettysburg

Formation contains little primary porosity and water is stored and

transmitted through an interconnected system of fractures, chiefly

high-angle joints, and bedding planes. Estimated thickness of the

Gettysburg Formation in this basin is on the order of 15,000' (Wood, 1980)

Median well yields in the Gettysburg Formation vary with the

rock type. Wood (1980) reports a median well yield of 144 gallons per

minute (gpm) for the shales, 50 gpm for the sandstones, 50 gpm for the

quartz conglomerate, and 225 gpm for the limestone conglomerate. Median

specific capacities (Wood, 1980) are 2.0 gpm/ft, 0.47 gpm/ft, 0.22 gpm/ft,

and 5.8 gpm/ft, respectively. Water is of the calcium-bicarbonate type

and ranges from hard to very hard in the shales and limestone

conglomerates through moderately hard in the sandstones to soft in the

quartz conglomerates.

The lower sedimentary unit in the Gettysburg-York Basin is the

New Oxford Formation. The water-bearing characteristics of this unit

have been studied extensively by Wood and Johnston (1964).

The New Oxford Formation consists of red to putplish-red

arkosic sandstone interbedded with red shale, mudstone, and sandstone.

A basal, tightly bonded quartzosa cobble to boulder conglomerate is

common. Ths total thickness of the formation is estimated to be 5,900'

(Wood and Johnston, 1964, p. 10). Although there is some minor primary

porosity in the more sandy beds of the New Oxford Formation, the formation

as a whole is tightly bonded by interstitial clay and cementing material

and tne only significant porosity in this unit is

use,.. •

generated by fractures, primarily high-angle joints and bedding plane

separations. Water is stored and transmitted through these interconnected

fractures. From data contained in Wood and Johnston (1964, Table 6), the

median yield of wells tested in this area was 8 gpm with a median

specific capacity of .27 gpm/ft. Water from the New Oxford Formation is

soft to moderately hard and of the calcium-bicarbonate type.

Outcrops of diabase occur extensively in this basin. The diabase

is a very poor aquifer. It consists of a tightly interlocked mosaic of

pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar that possesses only a secondary fracture

porosity. Median well yield is only 6 gpm/ft. Water from the diabase

is characteristically hard.

GROUND-WATER MOVEMENT

Ground-water movement in areas where the saturated rocks

are unconfined (water-table conditions) follows a path that is in the

general direction of the slope of the water table. The configuration

of the water table is generally a subdued replica of the land surface

and water moves slowly from upland recharge areas to discharge points

in adjacent stream valleys. Flow systems in the Precambrian metavolcanic

rocks and the Lower Cambrian clastic rocks follow this general pattern.

Since the water is transmitted through secondary fracture systems, however,

the actual path that thewater follows as it moves down-gradient will be

an indirect one as water becomes diverted from one fracture plane to

another as it works its way to discharge points.

I / The shallow ground-water flow in the Triassic rockssqf ftta-. O O O

Gettysburg-York Basin also follows an unconfined waf- table flow system.

1199

However, water in this shallow water-table aquifer recharges small ,

artesian or semi-artesian aquifers in the more permeable northwest-

dipping units in the Gettysburg Formation. This water is transmitted

down-dip in these thin aquifers that are interbedded with rocks with

lower permeabilities and fresh water can be produced from multi-aquifer

systems from depths as great as 1000 feet or more. The water may

contain excessive sulfate, however (>250 mg/1), due to its slow

movement and relatively long residence time in the flow system which

permits greater solution of sulfate-bearing minerals.

Ground-water movement in the carbonate rock units is difficult

to predict because flow systems are influenced by size and direction of

solution channels, relative hydraulic conductivity of the units, and rock

structure. In Basin 13-D, however, the area underlain by carbonate . j

rocks is so small that their water-bearing characteristics have

minimal influence on ground-water flow systems in this area.

RECHARGE/DISCHARGE RELATIONSHIPS

Ground-water recharge is the result of the complex interaction

of precipitation, infiltration, water-bearing characteristics of the

subsurface materials, bedrock configuration, topography, and configuration

of the water table. The principal source of recharge water in Basin 13-D

is the direct infiltration of precipitation, although snowmelt, stream

losses, and mountain runoff also contribute smaller amounts of water to the

ground-water reservoir.

1200

\ .•'

Maximum infiltration occurs from late Fall to early Spring when

V water losses through evapotranspiration are minimal.

Recharge generally occurs over upland areas and water is slowly

transmitted to discharge points in adjacent stream valleys, springs or

swamps. In the South Mountain area colluvial materials play an

important role in ground-water recharge. These materials have accumu-

lated along the lower slopes of some of the uplands as a result of

weathering and erosion of the sandstones volcanics. They have high

infiltration capacities and can store large volumes of water and

transmit it to the underlying aquifers.

Streams flowing over the small portion of the basin underlain by

carbonate rocks can lose water to the subsurface by "leakage" into

solution channels in the underlying rocks.

—' Average annual precipitation measured at Gettysburg is 39.29 inches.

Taylor and Royer (1981) report an annual discharge in Adams County of

about 14.8 inches. Assuming no changes in ground-water or surface water

storage, the difference between annual precipitation and annual discharge

is a measure of the annual water loss through evapotranspiration. Using

the data above, this yields a water loss through evapotranspiration of

24.49 inches.

NATURE OF GROUND-WATER DIVIDES IN THE BASIN

Topography is a major factor in control of the ground-water flow

system in Basin 13-D. This means that throughout most of the basin the

I ground-water divides can be expected to be coincident wit±i.±he.asn$fac£

drainage divides.

\

An exception to this could exist in the highly faulted and folded

area underlain by the Conestoga Formation at the southern end of the

basin. Here, solution conduits in the carbonate rocks could channel \_

subsurface water across a surface drainage divide. This possibility

has not been observed to date and further study would be required to

establish the magnitude and extent of this divergence if, in fact,

such a condition exists.

The southern boundary of the basin is an arbitrary political

boundary (Maryland state line) and has no relevance to the ground-

water flow system.

GROUND-WATER QUALITY

In general, the quality of ground-water in Basin 13-D is good.

Throughout the basin it is chiefly of the calcium-bicarbonate type. ,

The natural water quality can be summarized for the various hydro-

geologic units found in the basin. The Lower Cambrian clastic rocks,

the Marburg schist, and the Precambrian volcanics all contain water

that is soft. Soft water with a low pH and low concentrations of

dissolved solids can be corrosive to some plumbing.

The Triassic rocks contain water that is generally hard and the

Cambro-Ordovician carbonates contain water that is hard to very hard

with high concentrations of dissolved solids.

Water-quality problems in the basin ara relatively minor. Isolated

cases of pollution have been detected resulting from improper salt storage

AR I 00226

102

(high chloride) and malfunctioning on-lot sewage s/sterns and farming

activity (fecal coliform bacteria, and high nitrate and phosphate).

High sulfate levels have been encountered in wells drilled into

the Triassic rocks(, but these have been interpreted as natural (Wood,

1980, p. 52) indicating a longer residence tioie and greater solution

of sulfate-bearing minerals in water involved in a more regional (deeper)

flow system. An increase in sulfate concentrations with increased well

depth seems to bear out this interpretation.

Wood (1980, p. 53) also reports a water sample collected at a depth

of 2,990 feet from a well in Basin 7-G in the Triassic rocks of southern •

York County that had a dissolved solids concentration of 23,600 mg/1

probably indicating the upper boundary of a deep brine system (salt

., water) in the Gettysburg-York Basin.

Wells with high concentrations of heavy metals (principally copper,

lead, and zinc) commonly reflect a low pH which leads to corrosion of the

plumbing. Plastic pipes and water neutralizers can eliminate this problem.

GROUND-WATER USE WITHIN THE BASIN

Total water use in Basin 13-D was 4.324 million gallons per day (mgd)

by 1990 (SWP-14). A break down of water use categories is shown in

Table 13D-2. Approximately 2.197 mgd or 51 percent of the total amount

of water withdrawn from the basin was from the ground-water reservoir.

Principal users of ground water in the basin are public water supply

(38 percent), self-supplied domestic (33 percent), livestock (16 percent),

and self-supplied industry (13 percent.)

1203

Consumptive losses in the basin are projected to rise from the

1970 figure of 1.742 mgd to 5.985 mgd by 1990 (SWP-14). The projected \

increase is due primarily to projected increases in demand for irriga-

tion water.

Special Protection Areas

Two streams in Basin 13-D have been designated by the Pennsylvania

Department of Environmental Resources as "High Quality" waters and

therefore requiring special water quality protection. These two streams

are Middle Creek and Toms Creek.

If the quality of the surface water is to be protected, the quality

of the ground water that discharges to the stream must also be protected.

indicate the presence; of the following substances: 1,1,1-TCE, phenol,

toluene, ethyl-benzene, cadmium, chromium, lead., selenium., silverr mercury,

copper, nickel, and zinc. These analyses indicate that much of the waste

produced by the Plant can be, and Westinghouse has itself classified much

of such waste as, hazardous waste for the purposes of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCBA"), 42 U.S.C. S 6901. The analyses

also indicated that these wastes have a flash point between 25*C and

50*c- AR 100283

9. Analysis of samples of drums- and soils in the vicinity of the drums at the.

upper portion of the Culp property revealed the substances listed, at the

concentrations indicated, in Appendix C. These substances include the '

following: substances used by, or generated as waste byr Westinghouse during-

the period between 1969 and 1980, as described in Paragraphs 4 and St

1,1,1-TCE,. toluene., ethyl-benzene, phenol, cadmium, chromium, lead,

selenium, and zinc*

10. During the inspections described in Paragraph 7 the lagoon was observed

to contain sludges and liquid by-products. The lagoon discharges into a

adjacent stream as Indicated in Appendix D. Analysis of samples of the

lagoon and sediments of the adjacent stream revealed the presence of the

substances listed, at the concentrations indicated, in Appendix C«

These substances include the following substances, used by, or generated

as waste byy Westinghouse during the period frost 1969 until 1980r as

described is Paragraphs 4- and 5s TCE, phenol,, cadmium, chromium, lead,.•

substances as defined by Section 101(14) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. S 9601(14).

TCS and 1,1-dichloroethylene are known animal and suspected human

carcinogens. 1,1,1-TCS and 1,2-dichloroethylene are known to affect the

central nervous system of humans.

14. Wastes having a flash point below 60°C are defined by 40 C.F.R. I 261.21

and Section. 3001 of RCRA,. 42 U.S.C* \ 6921., to be hazardous wastes for

the purposes of RCRA* Section. 101(14) ofi fprarrA defines hazardous substances

to include any wastes having! the characteristics of hazardous wastes as*

identified under Section 3001 of RCRA.

15. The upper portion of the Culp property as shown ia Appendix B and the lagoon

as shown, in Appendices A and D are facilities as defined ia Section 101(9)

of CERCLA* 41 U.S.C. I 9601(a)»

16* Releases of hazardous substances from the upper portion of the Culp

property have occurred, are occurring and threaten to occur as a result

of the deteriorating condition of the drums, leaking of the contents of the

drums onto the soil* leaching- of such substances through the, soilv and into,

• the groundwater, and the possible ignition and explosion of such substances*-"'

- - -- . t17* Releases of hazardous substances from; the lagoon located on the property

owned by Shealer described in Paragraph 6 have occurred, are occurring.

and threaten to occur as a result of the dumping of such substances into

the lagoon* their leaching- through the underlying soil and their discharge

into the adjacent stream and groundwater and the ignition and explosion of

such, substances.; due to their lev flash point.

18*. An imminent and substantial, endangerment to the public health or welfare

and the environment may exist because of the release of hazardous substances

from both the upper portion of the Culp property, as described in Paragraph

16, and the lagoon located on property owned by Shealer, as described in

Paragraph 17.

19. In order to protect the public health, welfare and the environment, it is

necessary that actions be taken to respond to and abate the endangerment

caused by the release and- threatened release of hazardous substances from

the upper portion of the Culp property and the lagoon, located on property

owned by Shealer as described in Paragraph 7, above.
