Geologic, Hydrologic, and Water-Quality Data from Selected Boreholes and Wells In and Near Belvidere, Illinois, 1989-96By P.O. Mills, D.J. Yeskis, andJ.D. Straub

Abstract

This report presents selected geologic, hydrologic, and water-quality data collected in and near Belvidere, 111., during 1989-96. The data were collected primarily by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in support of an ongoing ground-water study of the glacial drift aquifer and bedrock aquifers of Ordovician and Cambrian age underly­ ing the area. These data were collected from 8 boreholes and 52 wells within a 4 square-mile urbanized part of the 80 square-mile study area. Data include stratigraphic, lithologic, and physical descriptions of rock cores from 5 boreholes; geophysical logs of 23 boreholes; surface- geophysical surveys at 3 sites; ground-water levels at 46 wells; horizontal hydraulic conductiv­ ity estimated from slug tests at 32 boreholes and wells; and ground-water-quality information at 26 boreholes and wells. Ground-water-quality information include field characteristics and labo­ ratory analyses of inorganic constituents, tritium, volatile organic compounds, and semivolatile organic compounds. Also included are construc­ tion logs for 11 monitoring wells and descriptions of the methods used for data collection.

at local industrial or commercial facilities have been disposed on the grounds of the facilities or at one of three nearby solid-waste landfills (Brown and Mills, 1995). Presently, one closed industrial facility and two of the three closed landfills are listed on the National Priorities List under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, commonly known as Superfund).

Potentially hazardous industrial-use constituents (hereafter, referred to as contaminants), such as volatile and semivolatile organic compounds (VOC's and SVOC's, respectively) and metals, have been detected in the glacial drift and bedrock aquifers underlying the Belvidere area. Because contaminants have been detected in the community's 8 water-supply wells and approximately 20 domestic and industrial wells, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) requested that the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study the hydrogeology and water quality of the aquifers in the area. The study is intended to provide the data and conceptual framework necessary to (1) determine the general distribution and migration pathways of contaminants in the aquifers, (2) evaluate ongoing and possible future ground-water contamination problems of the 80-mi2 Belvidere study area (fig. 1) on a regional basis, and (3) develop strategies for remediation of ground-water problems and the protection of regional ground-water supplies.

INTRODUCTION

The city of Belvidere in Boone County, 111. (fig. 1) is a community of about 18,000 in north-central Illinois. Since the late 1800's, Belvidere has had a mixed agricultural- and industrial-based economy. In some cases, potentially hazardous wastes generated

Purpose and Scope

This report presents selected geologic, hydro- logic, and water-quality data collected by the USGS and USEPA in support of the ongoing ground-water study in the vicinity of Belvidere, 111. The data were collected during 1989-96 from temporary wells,

boreholes, monitoring wells, water-supply wells, and surface-geophysical surveys. Most of the data were collected within a 4-mi2 urbanized area of detailed study (figs. 1 and 2). Also presented are selected data collected during 1985-1995 by private geotechnical firms, and municipal and State agencies. These data are included in this report to provide a more compre­ hensive data resource than is currently available for reviewing the areal, vertical, and time distribution of hydrogeologic and ground-water-quality data collected in the area of Belvidere. Data collected as part of synoptic water-level and water-quality studies in July 1993, May-June 1994, May-June 1995, and September-October 1996 are not included in this report. For the most part, the data collected during the synoptic studies were from a separate network of domestic water-supply wells. Data collected as part of the synoptic studies are presented in Mills and others (in press).

Data presented in this report include strati- graphic and lithologic descriptions and physical properties (porosity, bulk density, and particle density) of rock cores, borehole-geophysical logs, surface- geophysical surveys, ground-water levels, horizontal hydraulic conductivities, and ground-water-quality information. Ground-water levels include data collected during unstressed and stressed periods. Ground-water-quality information include field characteristics and laboratory analyses of inorganic constituents, tritium, VOC's, and SVOC's. Field characteristics were vertically profiled at two boreholes and determined at the well head at other sample sites. Also included in this report are (1) a description of the network of boreholes and wells where data were collected; (2) construction logs for 11 monitoring wells installed by the USGS; and (3) brief descriptions or references to the methods used to drill and construct the wells; collect geologic, geophysical, hydrologic, and water-quality data; determine the physical proper­ ties of rock cores; and analyze aquifer-test data. The methods of study are described in conjunction with the presentation of the data. All data tables are included at the end of the report.

Description of the Study Area

The outer boundary shown in figure 1 represents the 80-mi2 study area for the regional hydrogeologic and water-quality study. Most data presented in this report were collected within the 4-mi2 urbanized

area of detailed study shown in figures 1 and 2. The boundary of the detailed study area was selected because (1) several municipal water-supply wells in this area were available for extensive data collection (as described in this report), and (2) in many cases, data were collected in this area to complement ongoing site- specific ground-water investigations (Mills, 1993a,b,c; Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, 1988).

A detailed description of the physiographic setting of the regional study area is provided in Brown and Mills (1995). The setting of the detailed study area is characterized by broad lowlands drained by the west­ ward flowing Kishwaukee River (figs. 1 and 2). Land- surface altitude at the river channel is about 750 ft. Beyond the narrow river channel, land surface is generally flat; altitude is about 780 ft.

The general geologic and hydrologic strati­ graphy underlying the area of Belvidere is summarized in the following paragraphs and detailed in figures 3 and 4 (line of section A-A' shown in figure 2). The stratigraphic nomenclature used in this report does not necessarily follow the usage of the USGS. The geologic nomenclature is that of the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) (Willman and others, 1975). The hydrologic nomenclature is slightly modified from that of the Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) (Woller and Sanderson, 1974). The modified nomenclature accounts for differences in the sizes and hydrogeologic conditions of the areas represented by the USGS/USEPA and the ISWS studies.

The principal aquifers in the study area are the glacial drift aquifer of Quaternary age, the Galena- Platteville (dolomite) and St. Peter Sandstone aquifers of Ordovician age, and the Ironton-Galesville and Elmhurst-Mt. Simon aquifers of Cambrian age. For the purposes of this report, all wells open to sand-and- gravel and (or) silt deposits underlying the study area are considered to be completed in a single glacial drift aquifer. When considering ground-water flow in the regional 80-mi2 study area, this assumption is reason­ able. In the context of the 4-mi2 area of detailed study, however, specific sand-and-gravel deposits may compose units that are hydraulically isolated from one another or represent alluvial deposits of Holocene age. In this report, the aquifer system composed of the Galena and Platteville Groups and the St. Peter Sandstone is referred to as the Ordovician aquifer, and the aquifer system composed of bedrock units of Ordovician and Cambrian age is referred to as the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer. Specific aquifers within

The authors also thank Dennis Kolata and Michael Sargent (ISGS) for their assistance in the lithologic and stratigraphic description of rock cores. Frederick Paillet (USGS) and James Ursic (USEPA, Superfund Division, Technical Support Section, Chicago, 111.) are acknowledged for the collection and interpretation of borehole-geophysical data, and Peter Joesten and John Lane, Jr. (USGS) for the interpretation of the surface-geophysical data. James Rauman (USGS) is acknowledged for his assistance in borehole-packer testing and monitoring-well construction. Craig Thomas (USEPA, Superfund Division, Remedial Response Branch, Chicago, 111.) is recognized for his assistance in data collection and for the scientific input and managerial oversight he provided in the initial phases of the study.

BOREHOLE AND WELL NETWORK

The network of 8 boreholes and 52 wells from which the data presented in this report were collected are shown in figures 1 and 2; specific locations of wells PCHG102-PCHG127SP are available from the USGS. A description of the boreholes and wells is provided in table 1. The network includes 5 temporary wells installed by the USEPA, 11 monitoring wells constructed by the USGS, 31 monitoring wells constructed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), 4 municipal water-supply wells, and 3 used and unused private water-supply wells (unused wells are referred to as boreholes in this report).

The following criteria are used for the classifica­ tion and naming of temporary wells, boreholes, and wells. A temporary well is a 1-in. outside-diameter steel rod with a 2-ft long slotted screen installed in the glacial drift aquifer. Installed to a depth less than 30 ft

below land surface, the well remains in place for less than 1 hour for measurement of the ground-water level and collection of a water sample. A temporary well is identified by the leading alphabetical characters TW (for example, TW1). A borehole, as used in this report, is an open hole in a bedrock aquifer that was present (1) before the subsequent construction of a monitoring well or use as a water-supply well, or (2) after use as a water-supply well is discontinued. A borehole name generally is the same as the subsequently constructed well name. A borehole with only numerical characters (for example, 00305) initially was constructed as a water-supply well. Leading alphabetical characters relate the boreholes and wells to site-specific studies (for example, PCH represents the Parson's Casket Hardware Superfund site and BMW represents a Belvidere municipal well). Monitoring wells are identified by the alphabetical characters G or P preceding several numerical characters (for example, PCHG426BD and PCHP436B). Monitoring wells comprise 2-in. inside-diameter (nominal) stainless- steel or poly vinylchloride (PVC) risers with stainless- steel or PVC slotted screens; screens are 5- or 10-ft (nominal) in length. As described in Brown and Mills (1995) and Science Applications International Corpo­ ration (1992), monitoring well names generally indi­ cate the aquifer to which a well is open and the relative depth of a well in the aquifer. The well name also may indicate the specific fracture in the Galena-Platteville aquifer to which a well is open.

Temporary wells were installed using the Geoprobe system. This is a hydraulically powered system that uses the weight of the transport vehicle supplemented by a percussion hammer to advance the steel well rod. Details regarding the system are described in the sampling and analysis plan for the Belvidere ground-water study (U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1993) and the manufacturer's operation manual (Kejr Engineering, undated). The target depth for the temporary wells was 5 ft below the water table (presumably in sand-and-gravel deposits) or the base of the glacial drift aquifer if the saturated thickness of the aquifer was less than 5 ft.

The boreholes and permanent wells were drilled and constructed by various methods, including augering, water-rotary, and air-percussion. A general description of the drilling and construction methods used for the boreholes and 11 wells installed by the USGS is in Mills (1993a,b). The reader also is referred

to the completion records for the wells in appendix 2 (A list of abbreviations used in appendix 2 is given in appendix 1). Drilling and construction methods used for the wells installed by the IEPA are described in Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (1988) and Science Applications International Corporation (1992). A brief description of the construction of the municipal wells can be found in Woller and Sanderson (1974). Construction methods for the private water-supply wells are not well documented; details that are avail­ able on the well-construction permit are given in table 1.

GEOLOGIC DATA

Various types of geologic data were collected during this study in order to understand the geologic framework of the aquifers underlying the vicinity of Belvidere. Understanding this framework aids concep­ tualization of the movement of ground water and contaminants within the aquifers. Rock cores were collected from the bedrock units of Ordovician age to determine the stratigraphy, lithology, texture (visible porosity and grain size), and structure (presence of fractures) of the units. Selected cores were analyzed in the USGS, Illinois District laboratory in Urbana to determine the physical characteristics of matrix poros­ ity, bulk density, and particle density. Selected bore­ holes were geophysically logged to provide additional information on the lithology, texture, structure, and hydraulic characteristics of the rock units. A surface- geophysical-logging procedure, the azimuthal square- array direct-current resistivity method, was used to interpret the orientation of high-angle fractures in the bedrock. Such fractures can affect hydraulic anisotropy in the bedrock aquifer. A quantified estimate of second­ ary porosity and information on layering of geologic units also can be obtained with this method.

from all boreholes except PCHG115BD were collected by the USGS. The core from borehole PCHG115BD was collected by the IEPA.

All cores collected by the USGS were briefly described in the field (Mills, 1993b,c). The stratigraphy and lithology of the cores were described in detail in the laboratory by ISGS personnel specializing in the Ordovician-aged units of northern Illinois. Most cores were cut to slabs to reveal textural features and sedi­ mentary structures that were not visible because of the rough surface of the cores. The cores were examined both wet and dry under fluorescent lights.

The approximately 360-ft thick sequence of the Galena and Platteville Groups, the Glenwood Formation, and the uppermost part of the St. Peter Sandstone in the vicinity of Belvidere is considered to be fully represented. The boreholes from which the cores were obtained are in close proximity and the core-sample intervals overlap. Detailed descriptions of core lithology by the ISGS are presented in appendix 3; a summarized description is presented in table 2.

Stratigraphic classification of the bedrock geologic units, based on all available rock-core data, is presented in tables 2 and 3. Stratigraphic classifica­ tion of the Galena-Platteville Groups are based prima­ rily on criteria developed from characteristics of the weathered surfaces of the carbonate units. The small- diameter, unweathered cores and the composited strati- graphic sequence represented by the cores were not ideally suited for classification with these criteria. Furthermore, Stratigraphic classifications from the rock cores based on weathered-surface criteria were not necessarily equivalent to those classifications based on borehole-geophysical log characteristics, such as natural-gamma activity. Because of the difficulties in determining Stratigraphic classifications in some unweathered rock cores, the classifications and related depths/thicknesses presented in tables 2 and 3 are not certain and subject to additional revision.

Stratigraphy and Lithology of Rock Cores Physical Characteristics of Rock Cores

Rock cores were collected from four boreholes (PCHG125B, PCHG115BD, PCHG127GP, PCHG127SP) at or near the Parson's Casket Hardware Superfund site and one borehole (PCHG128GP) located within 0.25 mi of the site (fig. 2). The 1.75-3-in. diameter cores were collected at various depth intervals in the bedrock units of Ordovician age underlying the area. Cores

Fifty-seven subsections of the rock cores were selected for laboratory analysis of matrix porosity, bulk density, and particle density. The approximately 0.25-ft long subsections were selected as representative of each of the identified Stratigraphic units (formations and members). For relatively thick Stratigraphic units or units with variable lithology, multiple core sections were selected for analysis. The detailed lithologic

descriptions of the cores by the ISGS and indications of clay content from natural-gamma logs were used to select representative subsections from stratigraphic units with variable lithologies.

The methods used for the analysis of porosity, bulk density, and particle density are detailed in appendix 4; the resulting values for these analyses are presented in tables 4-6. The analytical methods under­ estimate porosity and bulk density for core sections with exposed cavities (vugs or vesicles). To account for the underestimated values, a qualitative scale was used to estimate the volume of the unrepresented cavities. The scale ranges from 1 to 5, representing smooth (1) to very vuggy (5) core surfaces. The estimated values of porosity and bulk density based on this accounting are presented in the data tables as adjusted values. For quality-assurance purposes, some core sections were reanalyzed to determine the repeatability of the measurements. The reanalyzed sections are identified in the data tables as second-run measurements.

The vertical distribution of matrix porosity in the Ordovician-age bedrock units, as represented by composited data from boreholes PCHG115B, PCHG115BD, PCHG127GP, PCHG120GP, and PCHG127SP, is shown in figure 5. Also shown are the stratigraphy and selected physical and hydraulic characteristics of the units, including lithographic texture (visible porosity), clay content (indicated by natural-gamma activity), fracture presence (indicated by borehole diameter), horizontal hydraulic conductiv­ ity, and vertical ground-water flow.

Borehole and Surface Geophysics

Twenty-three boreholes or wells were geophysi- cally logged by the USGS and USEPA. A listing of all boreholes or wells that were logged, the logging performed, and the agency that performed the logging are given in table 7. Fourteen monitoring wells open to glacial drift and shallow-bedrock deposits at the Parson's Casket Hardware Superfund site (PCH wells 102-122D in table 7 and figure 2) were logged for natural-gamma activity. All six boreholes open to deep-bedrock deposits at the Parson's Casket Hardware Superfund site (PCHG115BD, PCHG125BD, PCHG126BD, PCHG127GP, PCHG127SP, PCHG128GP), boreholes 00305 and 00436, and Belvidere municipal water-supply well BMW2 (fig. 2, table 1) were logged with multiple tools (table 7). The

reader is referred to Schlumberger (1972), Paillet and Williams (1994), and Cohen (1995) for a general description of the principles, techniques, and applica­ tions of geophysical logging in hydrogeology. Niva (1991) provides an overview of ground-penetrating- radar logging. Hess (1990) describes the use of the heat-pulse flow meter to characterize vertical ground- water flow.

All geophysical logs completed by the USGS or USEPA as part of the study are shown in appendix 5 (a list of abbreviations and units used in appendix 5 is given in appendix 1). Additional logging of the bed­ rock deposits of Ordovician age has been done by a private geotechnical firm (GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc., 1993, 1994) at several locations 0.5-1 mi south­ west of the detailed study area (fig. 1). The northern location of borehole-geophysical logging shown in figure 1 represents a Belvidere municipal well (BMW8); the southern location represents several closely clustered boreholes at a manufacturing facility.

Logging of borehole PCHG127GP (open to the Galena-Platteville aquifer) by ground-penetrating radar was originally described in Niva (1991) and Mills (1993b). The description included a limited analysis of the full data set. An expanded analysis of the data set was later completed (John Lane, U.S. Geological Survey, written commun., 1993). The expanded analysis is summarized in table 8, which shows the interpreted reflectors (cavities, bedding-plane-solution features, and inclined fractures) in the vicinity of borehole PCHG127GP.

Vertical ground-water-flow data were collected using a heat-pulse flow meter at several locations in the study area. Data collected at borehole PCHG127GP are presented in Mills (1993b) and are shown in appendix 5. Data collected at borehole PCHG128GP (open to the Galena-Platteville aquifer) are presented in table 9 and are shown in appendix 5. Data collected at borehole 00436 (open to the Galena-Platteville aquifer) and the then unused municipal well BMW2 (open to the Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer) are shown in appen­ dix 5.

Azimuthal square-array direct-current resistivity (SAR) surveys were done at three surface sites (fig. 1). The survey sites were selected on the basis of four criteria: (1) bedrock surface within 30 ft of land surface, (2) minimal clay or other fine-grained sediments in the unconsolidated deposits overlying bedrock, (3) surface area large enough to accommodate a 315-446-ft-diameter SAR array, and (4) widest

possible distribution of sites within the 80-mi2 regional study area. Two of the sites were southwest of the area of detailed study (about 0.5 and 3 mi, respectively). Theoretical considerations of the S AR method and the procedures of data collection and analysis are detailed in Lane and others (1995) and Habberjam (1979). The SAR data and analysis are presented in a document (Peter Joesten and John W. Lane, Jr., U.S. Geological Survey, written commun., 1996) provided, in part, in appendix 6. Graphical presentations of individual squares within the survey arrays and results of numeri­ cal geophysical modeling are available from the USGS.

HYDROLOGIC DATA

Hydrologic data were collected from the network of monitoring wells, water-supply wells, and boreholes. The data include water levels to determine horizontal and vertical hydraulic gradients, flow direc­ tions, aquifer responses to municipal-well pumping, and horizontal hydraulic conductivities of the aquifer materials. Data from boreholes were collected from fully open boreholes and from specific depth intervals isolated by use of a straddle-packer assembly. Data- collection methods using the straddle-packer assembly are described in detail in Mills (1993a,b). A general­ ized view of the straddle-packer assembly is shown in figure 6.

Ground-Water Levels

Ground-water levels were measured in most of the wells included in table 1 and figure 2 during this study. Periodic measurements were made in 46 wells, and near-continuous measurements were made in one borehole (00436) and 12 wells. Periodic measurements of water level were made by a chalked-steel tape or an electric-sensor tape. The measurements were made at time intervals ranging from less-than hourly to annu­ ally, generally at selected wells during irregularly scheduled field trips. Measurements were made at all available wells in the network during several annually scheduled field trips. Near-continuous measurements of water level were obtained by the use of vented pressure transducers, generally with a pressure-sensing range of 0-10 lb/in2 . Transducers with ranges of 0-20 lb/in2 and 0-30 lb/in2 were used in wells with substantial fluctuations in water level in response to pumping of nearby water-supply wells. Water levels

obtained by pressure transducers were recorded by a programmable data logger. The near-continuous measurements were made at time intervals ranging from 15 to 30 minutes.

Several measurements were made at each well to ensure the quality of the data. Measurements made by steel tape were repeated and accepted when the difference between measurements was less than or equal to 0.01 ft. For some wells, a larger difference was accepted because the water level fluctuated in response to pumping of nearby water-supply wells over very short intervals (minutes). Electric tapes were used to measure water levels in wells with substantial fluctuations (about 0.5 ft per minute).

The operating response of each pressure trans­ ducer was checked, after placement in a well, by raising and lowering the submerged transducer a known distance and comparing this distance with the value indicated by the data logger. Transducers that were out of tolerance were not used in the study. Water levels in the wells instrumented with transducers were periodically cross-checked with measurements made with a chalked-steel or electric-sensor tapes; data log­ ging was reinitiated with corrected water-level inputs, as necessary.

The periodic measurements of ground-water level allowed determination of the horizontal and ver­ tical gradients, directions of ground-water flow, and the temporal variability of the gradients and directions of flow. Periodic measurements over intervals of short- duration (less than hourly to daily) and near-continuous measurements of longer duration (days to months) also provided information about the transient effects of ground-water pumping.

Periodic measurements in the vicinity of Belvidere during 1989-96 are presented in table 10 and figure 7. Near-continuous measurements during 1992-95 are presented in figures 8-15. Locations of the boreholes and wells where ground-water levels were measured are presented in figure 2. Additional near-continuous measured water levels were collected but are not presented as part of this report. Data collected by USEPA from wells PCHG111S and PCHG111D (Douglas Yeskis, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, written commun., 1990), as part of an initial study of the pumping effects of nearby municipal wells BMW4 and BMW6 (fig. 2) on water levels in the glacial drift and Galena-Platteville aquifers, are available from the USGS.

as part of an expanded study of the pumping effects of wells BMW4 and BMW6, are presented in Mills (1993b). Additional information on the general tech­ niques of water-level measurement, including the decontamination of measuring equipment, are included in the sampling and analysis plan for the Belvidere ground-water study (U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1993).

Water-Level Response to Municipal-Well Pumping

Water-level data collected by Mills (1993b,c) and data included in this report (figs. 8-15) indicated the necessity of an expanded study of the pumping effects of the Belvidere municipal wells on water levels in the glacial drift, Galena-Platteville, and St. Peter Sandstone aquifers underlying Belvidere. During a 25-day period in November-December 1992, water

levels in 10 vertically nested wells were monitored as pumping activity was recorded at the nearby (within 0.5 mi) municipal wells BMW4 and BMW6.

Water levels were monitored using vented pres­ sure transducers with pressure-sensing ranges from 0-5 lb/in2 and from 0-30 lb/in2. Historical data allowed the selection of pressure ranges appropriate for expected water-level changes. The water-level data were recorded using a programmable data logger. A logarithmic monitoring schedule was used with the maximum interval of 5 minutes applied 3 hours after the start of data collection.

To help isolate the pumping effects of municipal wells BMW4, BMW6, and possibly other nearby high- capacity industrial wells, the pumping schedules for the two municipal wells were prearranged with the city of Belvidere (table 11). To ensure a very precise recording of the timing of changes in pumping status (well pump on or off), the pumping schedules were automatically

Water-Level Response to Municipal-Well Pumping 23

monitored by use of an alternating current (AC) line monitor coupled with a programmable data logger. With the AC line monitor attached to an exposed current-transmitting powerline, a direct current (DC) voltage signal is output in the presence of an AC voltage in the powerline. This output was monitored by the data logger every 5 seconds; data recording was limited to the times at which the well pumps were turned on and off. The automatic monitoring also was necessary because of the possibility that the prearranged pumping schedule may not be followed to satisfy the water-supply needs of the city. As can be seen by comparing the prearranged pumping sched­ ule in table 11 with the schedules shown in figure 14, diversion from the prearranged schedule was neces­ sary.

Standard measures were used to assure the quality of the water-level measurements (see descrip­ tion in the section "Ground-Water Levels"). To ensure that the AC line-monitor/data-logger system was properly recording the pumping status of the municipal wells, several well-pumping cycles were monitored by alternative methods. One cycle was monitored by an observer. Several cycles were monitored by a tripod- mounted time-encoding video camera that visually recorded needle deflections on pump gages and audibly recorded pump-motor activity.

Water levels in wells PCHG127GP and PCHG127SP in relation to the pumping status of municipal wells BMW4 and BMW6 are shown in figure 14. The open interval of well PCHG127GP is near a hydraulically important bedding-plane fracture in the lower part of the Galena-Platteville aquifer (Mills, 1993b), and well PCHG127SP is open to the upper part of the St. Peter Sandstone aquifer. Water levels in monitoring wells open to the glacial drift, Galena-Platteville, and St. Peter Sandstone aquifers during the time period in which the pumping status of the municipal wells was monitored are shown in figure 15.

Horizontal Hydraulic Conductivity

Horizontal hydraulic conductivities (Kh) were estimated from one multiple-well aquifer test and numerous single-well aquifer (slug) tests completed in 22 monitoring wells and 5 straddle-packed boreholes. The multiple-well aquifer test was done in June 1991. Details associated with the multiple-well aquifer test, including test methods, analytical assumptions,

estimates of Kh, and limitations, are provided in Mills (1993b). Slug tests were done during 1989-95. Details associated with the slug tests are provided in Vanderpool and Yeskis (1991) and Mills (1993a,b,c). Estimates of Kh from the slug tests are presented in tables 12 (glacial drift aquifer) and 13 (Galena- Platteville and St. Peter Sandstone aquifers). The distribution of Kh within the stratigraphic units that compose the glacial drift, Galena-Platteville, and St. Peter Sandstone aquifers is shown in figure 16. The vertical distribution of Kh in the Galena-Platteville aquifer, as represented by composited data from bore­ holes PCHG115BD, PCHG127GP, and PCHG128GP, is shown in figure 5. Also shown in figure 5 are the stratigraphy and selected physical and hydraulic char­ acteristics of the aquifer. The vertical distribution of Kh in the Galena-Platteville aquifer in relation to concen­ trations of VOC's and specific conductance are shown in figures 17 (data from boreholes PCHG115BD, PCHG125BD, PCHG126BD, PCHG127GP) and 18 (data from borehole PCHG128GP).

WATER-QUALITY DATA

Ground-water-quality data were collected from all boreholes and selected wells included in table 1 and figure 2. Data include field characteristics (tempera­ ture, pH, specific conductance, redox potential (Eh) and dissolved oxygen), inorganic constituents, tritium, VOC's, and SVOC's. Specific analyses vary among sampling sites. Field-characteristic and VOC data collected from the monitoring wells and municipal water-supply wells included in table 1 and an addi­ tional network of private water-supply wells in the vicinity of Belvidere are included in Mills and others (in press).

Field characteristics of the ground water were vertically profiled at one borehole and one municipal water-supply well. All other boreholes and wells were sampled for analysis of field characteristics and (or) ground-water chemistry. Details of the vertical profiling and sampling methods are described in the following sections.

Vertical-Profile Measurements

Field characteristics of the ground water were vertically profiled at borehole PCHG127GP and municipal well BMW2 (table 1 and fig. 2). Profiling

was done by use of similar submersible Hydrolab Surveyor 3 water-quality meters. Details regarding the operation and systematic calibration of the meters can be found in the manufacturer's operation manual (Hydrolab Corporation, 1991) and the unpublished sampling and analysis plan for the Belvidere ground- water study (U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1993).

For the profiling of borehole PCHG127GP, the meter sonde was lowered by its 328-ft long cable to the base of the borehole, and field characteristics were allowed to equilibrate for about 2 hours before initial measurements were recorded. The sonde was moved up the borehole in 5- to 20-ft increments. A minimum of 5 minutes were allowed for equilibration of field characteristics at each depth increment before measure­ ments were recorded.

For the profiling of municipal well BMW2, measurements were made as the meter sonde was lowered down the well to the 200-ft extent of its cable and repeated as the sonde was extracted from the well. Field characteristics were allowed to equilibrate for about 30 minutes before initial measurements were recorded. The sonde was moved down and up the borehole in increments no greater than about 20 ft; depth increments were varied to allow measurements to be focused on features of hydrologic interest (for example, fractures that may allow preferential move­ ment of ground water and contaminants). A minimum of 5 minutes were allowed for equilibration of field characteristics at each depth increment before measure­ ments were recorded. Additional measurements were recorded at selected depths after allowing as much as 20 minutes to evaluate possible temporal variability of the field characteristics.

Vertical profiling of field characteristics in borehole PCHG127GP was done in December 1991. Results of the profiling are presented in table 14 and figure 19. Vertical profiling of field characteristics in municipal well BMW2 was done in March 1993. Results of the profiling are presented in table 15 and figure 20.

Borehole and Well Samples

Water samples were collected from 7 boreholes and 19 wells for analysis of field characteristics and (or) ground-water chemistry. Samples from five boreholes were collected from specific depth intervals by use of the previously described straddle-packer

assembly (refer to figure 6 and the section "Hydrologic Data"). Water samples generally were collected from the boreholes and monitoring wells with a submersible, positive-displacement sampling pump consisting of a stainless-steel pump head and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubing. Water samples from temporary wells were collected using a peristaltic pump with a combi­ nation of PTFE and silicone tubing. Water samples from the operating water-supply wells were collected from a sampling tap located near the wells and before any in-line water treatment.

With few exceptions, measures were taken to ensure that representative samples of ground water were collected. A water-quality meter coupled with a flow-through cell was attached to the pump-discharge outlet or sampling tap to monitor the field characteris­ tics of water purged from a borehole or well. Criteria based on stabilized field characteristics of the ground water and well volumes (generally three well volumes) were applied to ensure a sufficient volume of water had been purged from a borehole or well prior to sampling. Well-volume criteria were not applied when preparing to sample water-supply wells. Prior to sampling, recent operation of these wells was verified, and then the wells were allowed to pump and discharge through the sampling tap for about 10 minutes.

For temporary wells that were 1-in. in diameter, the PTFE tubing was lowered to the base of the well and all standing water was flushed from the pump tubing by pumping about 5-10 minutes before a water sample was collected. For boreholes that were pres­ ently unused water-supply wells (00305, 00436), water samples were not collected by use of the straddle-packer assembly. Water samples from these boreholes were collected by lowering a submersible pump to a target depth. The large volume of standing water in the boreholes precluded application of the standardized criteria for ensuring the collection of a representative ground-water sample. Alternatively, water was pumped from the boreholes for about 10 minutes to ensure that all standing water was flushed from the pump tubing before a water sample was collected. Generally, tubing volume was calculated and water temperature was monitored to determine when ground water was discharging from the pump.

The water sample from the then unused munici­ pal well BMW2 was collected by a bottom-draining hand bailer. Because of the sampling methods used, the analytical water-quality data from all the unused water-

supply wells are considered screening-quality data and should be viewed with caution.

Specifics regarding the methods for collecting the water samples from the boreholes and wells are described in the sampling and analysis plan for the Belvidere ground-water study (U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1993) and Mills (1993a,b,c). These reports document the(1) guidelines for calibrating the water-quality meters,(2) procedures for decontaminating sampling equip­ ment, (3) methods and data for purging wells and boreholes based on field-characteristic stabilization and well-volume criteria, (4) purging and sampling pump rates, and (5) quality-assurance/quality-control (QA/QC) procedures for sample collection and handling. Also included in the reports is selected information on laboratory analytical procedures. Additional specific details and data related to the purging and sampling of specific wells and boreholes can be obtained from the USGS.

The water samples were collected from the bore­ holes and wells during 1985-95. Location of the bore­ holes and wells where water samples were collected are shown in figures 1 and 2. Analytical results of the sam­ pling are presented in tables 16-20. The major-ion chemistry of ground water at selected boreholes and wells open to the Galena-Platteville and St. Peter Sandstone aquifers are shown in figures 21 and 22. Concentrations of VOC's and specific conductance of ground water in relation to the vertical distribution of Kh at selected boreholes (PCHG115BD, PCHG125BD, PCHG126BD, PCHG127GP, PCHG128GP) open to the Galena-Platteville aquifer are shown in figures 17 and 18.

SUMMARY

The city of Belvidere in Boone County, 111., is a community of about 18,000 with an agricultural- and industrial-based economy. As a result of past industrial activity, potentially hazardous industrial-use constituents (contaminants) have been detected in water from the glacial drift and bedrock aquifers under­ lying the Belvidere area. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), is investigating the hydrogeology and water quality of the aquifers in the area. The study is intended to provide the data and conceptual framework necessary (1) to determine the general distribution and migration pathways of

contaminants in the aquifers, (2) to evaluate ongoing and possible future ground-water contamination

r\

problems in the context of the 80-mi study area on a regional basis, and (3) to develop strategies for remedi­ ation of ground-water problems and the protection of regional ground-water supplies.

This report presents selected geologic, hydro- logic, and water-quality data collected by the USGS and USEPA in support of the ongoing ground-water study. The data were collected during 1989-96 from temporary wells, boreholes, monitoring wells, water- supply wells, and surface-geophysical surveys prima­ rily within a 4-mi2 urbanized part of the study area. Data were collected from the glacial drift, Galena- Platteville (dolomite), St. Peter Sandstone, Ordovician, and Cambrian-Ordovician aquifers underlying the area. Also presented in this report are selected data collected by private geotechnical firms, and municipal and State agencies. These data are included in this report to provide a more comprehensive resource than is currently available for reviewing the areal, vertical, and time distribution of data collected in the vicinity of Belvidere.

Data included in the report include stratigraphic and lithologic descriptions, and physical properties of rock cores (porosity, bulk density, and particle density), borehole-geophysical logs, surface-geophysical surveys, ground-water levels, horizontal hydraulic conductivities estimated from slug tests, and ground- water-quality information. Ground-water levels include data collected during unstressed and stressed periods. Ground-water-quality information include field characteristics and laboratory analyses of inor­ ganic constituents, tritium, volatile organic compounds and semivolatile organic compounds. Water-quality characteristics were vertically profiled at two boreholes and determined at the well head at other sampling sites.

Also included in this report are (1) a description of the network of boreholes and wells used to collect the presented data; (2) construction logs for 11 moni­ toring wells; and (3) descriptions or references to the methods used to construct the wells; collect geologic, geophysical, hydrologic, and water-quality data; analyze aquifer-test data; and determine the physical properties of rock cores.

'A qualitative scale from 1 to 5, representing "smooth" (1) to "very vuggy" (5) core surfaces, was used to approximate the percentage of pores open to the surface of the cores. The standard laboratory method used to determine porosity could not account for these core volumes.

2Porosity values may be higher because of possible error in measurement of core volume. 3Depth of 213.8-213.9 feet below land surface represents Buckhorn member of the Dunleith Formation. 4Measured depth of core. Total depth of borehole was 310.0 feet.

^ata collected from a borehole-heat-pulse flowmeter. Flow repre­ sents ambient vertical flow in the borehole open to the Galena-Platteville aquifer. Flow in the borehole was supplemented by flow from the overlying glacial drift aquifer. Supplemental flow was through one to four approximately 1-inch-diameter holes in the lower 5 feet of the 32-feet long steel surface casing. Outflow from the borehole was primarily through bedding-plane fractures at depths of about 121 feet (15 percent of outflow), 259 feet (65 percent of outflow), and 300 feet (20 percent of outflow) below land surface.

underground reservoir adjacent to the well. After the reservoir is filled, the well pump automatically turns off, and water is pumped from the reservoir to the distribution system by a second pump, as needed. For this study, continuous pumping of well BMW4 consisted of having the reservoir pumped continuously and the well pump automatically turning on and off as the reservoir filled and drained to preset levels.

2Usage of pumps was not prearranged. The municipal-well operator was allowed to pump wells BMW4 and BMW6 according to normal usage patterns.

lrTransmissivities (950 and 1,300 square feet per day for falling- and rising-head tests, respectively) were estimated by the method of van der Kamp (1976). Horizontal hydraulic conductivity was estimated by dividing transmissivity by the length of the test interval.

2First and second values represent early-time and late-time estimates of horizontal hydraulic conductivity from falling- and rising-head tests, respectively. Tests affected by pumping of nearby wells, hydraulic boundaries, and (or) other undetermined effects (Mills, 1993a,b,c).

Sample study by Michael Sargent and Zakaria Lasemi August 1992; revised Dec. 1994

Dolomite, very pale yellow to pinkish gray (10YR 8/2 to SYR 8/1); mottled pale yellowish orange to grayish orange (10YR 8/6 to 10YR 7/4) throughout; grayish red to dusky red iron-oxide stain at 44.8 & 45.0 feet; dolomite is mostly medium crystalline, but becomes coarser in the leached beds and mottlings, in part slightly calcareous and slightly pyritic, slightly argillaceous to argillaceous throughout; slightly fossiliferous throughout, more fossiliferous in a few 1/2- to 1-inch-thick fossil-moldic beds, identifiable fossils include gastropod molds and casts and pelecypod vugs throughout, and rare poorly preserved receptacu- lites near the base; in addition, there are traces of identifiable carbonaceous fragments; a large gastropod X 1.5 inches long at 44.4 feet; the rock is porous throughout, pore types include: 1) fossil moldic porosity throughout the unit ranging from pin-head to match-head up to 1-inch across; 2) vesicular porosity is common in the upper 25 feet in leached beds and blotches (mottlings); 3) vugs or solution cavities resulting from dissolution of dolomite; these vugs are probably the more advanced stage of dissolution started in slightly leached, vesicular zones; these solution cavities are variable in size, but can reach 1-2 inches across and are present throughout; paper-thin wavy shale partings (mostly stylolites) spaced 1-8 inches apart occur frequently throughout; in addition to the shaly partings/stylolites there are a few very argillaceous dolomite beds 1/2-4 inches thick throughout; some of the more prominent argillaceous zones occur at 43.9-44.1, 44.7-45.0, and 47.5-48.7 feet. Rock is mostly broken into 1-10-inch pieces along stylol?tes and/or shaly partings; interval from 42.0-43.6 feet is thin bedded (1-2 inches) with paper-thin shaly partings and/or argillaceous dolomite interlaminations; in part banded with oxidized (iron-oxide stained) and reduced bands. It is broken mechanically into small pieces along weak planes or

fractures in leached zones at 42.2-42.3, 45.9-46.0, 47.7- 47.8,50.0-50.3, 50.6-51.0, and 54.4-54.6 feet; a few vertical and horizontal healed/partially healed fractures and stylolites throughout.

41.6 to 55.7'

Dolomite, very pale orange to pinkish gray (10YR 8/2 to 5YR 8/1); interbedded with moderate yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) and mottled with pale yellowish orange to grayish orange(10YR 8/6 to 10YR 7/4) from 55.7 to "67 feet; basal part of the unit from 66.6 to 80.2 feet is mostly light brownish gray to pale yellowish brown(SYR 6/1 to 10YR 6/2), in part, slightly spotted and specked dark gray (N3), slightly mottled yellowish brown (10YR 3/4); grayish red to dusky red iron-oxide stain at 61.8 feet; paper- thin wavy shaly partings and/or stylolites, olive black to brownish black (5Y 2/1 to SYR 2/1) in lower 14 feet, but becomes indistinguishable from the dolomite color in the more oxidized part above 66.6 feet; dolomite is mostly medium crystalline but becomes coarser in the leached beds and areas of mottling; slightly pyritic with pyrite lined vug at 80.0 feet; several receptaculites lumps on the bedding surface at 77.5 feet; waxy clay on break at 68.7 feet (possibly Dygerts K-bentonite that has mostly washed out). Some burrow or ghost burrow mottlings in some intervals; rock is more porous ("15%) above 66.6 feet, is less porous (5-10%) in the lower part of the unit; pore types include: 1) fossil-moldic porosity throughout generally ranging from pin-head to match-head with some up to 1/4-inch across; 2) vesicular porosity is very common 55.7-66.6 feet and occurs in leached beds and blotches (mottlings), vesicular porosity in the lower 14 feet is mainly limited to some leached areas, mostly 1/4-1 inch across; 3) vugs and solution cavities resulting from dissolution of dolomite, these vugs are probably the more advanced stage of dissolution started in slightly leached, vesicular zones; these solution cavities are variable in size, but can reach 1-2 inches across and are present throughout though most common in the zone from 55.7-66.6; prominent dissolution zones with large solution cavities at 58.1, 52.5, 59.7, 63.0-63.6 feet. Core is broken mechanically into small pieces along weak planes or fractures in leached zones at 76.9-77.0 feet and about 2 inches at the base; vertical fractures at 57.0-57.2 feet; a few vertical and horizontal healed/ partially healed fractures and stylolites throughout; the transition to the underlying unit is gradational. It is placed at 80.2 feet below which the dolomite becomes pure with very few paper-thin shaly partings.

55.7 to 80.2'

Dolomite, very light brownish gray to light brownish gray (5YR 7/1 to 5YR 6/1) with beds and blotches of grayish orange (10YR 7/4 to 10YR 6/4); some pale brown (5YR 5/2) and medium gray (N5) mottlings; shaly partings and/or stylolitic contacts of brownish black to olive black (5YR 2/1 to 5Y 2/1) ;

dolomite is. mostly medium crystalline but coarser in leached areas, coarse secondary dolomite in some vugs, e.g. at 89.3 and 90.1 feet, rock is fossiliferous to slightly fossiliferous throughout, fossils are mostly molds or vugs and include gastropods and some pelecypods; traces of brachiopods and common small unidentified siliceous fragments throughout; a silicified rugose coral at 102.8 feet; Receptaculites at 108.6 feet; burrow mottling ghosts and bioturbation throughout; more prominent burrows at 91.6-95.0 feet; some white, chalky chert 105.0-105.6 feet. Rock is porous throughout with 15-20% porosity; pore types include: 1) vuggy porosity (some fossil-moldic) ranging from pin- head to match-head up to % inch across; 2) vesicular porosity in leached and partially leached areas; 3) larger solution vugs %-2 inches across, resulting from dissolution of dolomite; 4) cylindrical vugs, possibly borings or selectively leached burrows; this type of porosity is especially common at 91.6-95.0 feet and somewhat common in upper part of the unit, 80.2-91.6 feet; it is rare elsewhere. Vesicular porosity in partially leached zones and solution vugs are the most common pore types and occur frequently throughout. Paper-thin shaly partings (stylolitic contacts) spaced 4-10 inches apart in upper 16.0 feet, becoming, in part, more closely spaced at 1-5 inches elsewhere; prominent shaly and/or stylolitic zones at 95.2-96.1, 99.3-99.4, 101.3-101.6, 102.0-102.1, 108.0-108.5 feet; possible hardgrounds at 2 inches below the top and at 97.0, 99.3, 108.6 feet; contact with overlying unit is gradation; rock is broken into 1-10-inch pieces mostly along stylolites and shaly partings; it is broken into small pieces at 84.0-84.3, 104.8-105.6 feet due to fracturing and/or intense leaching; major vertical fractures are absent but there are some small (1-2-inch) single broken pieces in leached zones.

80.2 to 110.6'

No core (missing?) 110.6 to 120.5'

Dolomite as above but less porous; it is, in part, vesicular and slightly vuggy; larger solution vugs, similar to those described above, are essentially absent; overall visible porosity averages between 5-10%; stylolitic contacts 1-5 inches apart are frequent throughout; top 2 inches is very stylolitic with numerous stylolites; hardgrounds at 122.0, 123.6, 124.0, 124.5 (?), 126.3, and base at 127.0 feet; two well-preserved receptaculites at 125.0 and 125.7 feet; several silicified brachiopods at 126.75 feet (4 inches above the base).

120.5 to 127.O 1

Dolomite, light brownish gray to very light brownish gray (5YR 6/1 to SYR 7/1) in upper 13.5 feet, becoming mostly very light brownish gray in lower 8.0 feet; it is mostly light gray (N7) with brownish tinge at 140.5-142.5 feet; dolomite is mottled medium-dark to dark gray (N4 to N3) in upper one foot and

at 140.5-142.5 feet; dark to dark grayish black and brownish black (N3 to N2 and SYR 2/1) along shaly partings and/or stylolites and hardground surfaces; leached blotches and mottlings of grayish orange (10YR 8/4) throughout. Dolomite is mostly medium crystalline but coarser in leached areas, fine to medium at 140.5-142.5, slightly fossiliferous including brachiopods and unidentifiable white silicified fragments (possibly crinoids); one receptaculites at 146.7 feet; other fossils include rare molds and vugs of gastropods and pelecypods; prominent fossil-moldic grainstone/packstone at 146.6-146.7, 147.7-147.85 feet; burrowed and bioturbated throughout, but more prominent in upper 3.5 feet and at 140.5-142.5 feet; rock has about 10-15% porosity mostly of vesicular and solution vug types; other less common pore types include fossil-moldic and selectively leached cylindrical burrows or borings; vesicular pores are mainly in mottles and blotches up to 2-3 inches across; these vesicular zones have developed into numerous solution vugs (2-3 inches across) due to intense leaching and dissolution; prominent leached zones with solution vugs at 127.8-128.0, 134.8, 136.1, 137.8, 142.7-144.0, 145.6, 147.2, 149.1-149.8 feet; interval at 140.5-142.5 feet is very slightly porous with less than 5% visible porosity. Paper-thin shaly partings and/or stylolites 2-5 inches apart occur throughout the unit; most of these partings are actually stylolites with accumulations of argillaceous residue along the surface; major shaly stylolitic zone at 129.6-129.8, 130.9-131.1, 132.7-132.7(7), 140.3-140.4, 140.5-140.6, 141.7-141.8, 142.4-142.5, 147.8-147.9 feet. Hardground surfaces at top and possibly at 140.6 feet; other surfaces could be subtle hardgrounds but could not be differentiated from stylolitic contacts. There is a white, chalky chert nodule, 2 inches across, at 147.3 feet; a 2-inch- thick, white, chalky chert bed occurs at 150.3 feet. Rock is broken into 2- to 10-inch pieces along stylolites and is broken into small pieces at 131.0-131.1, 137.1-137.2 feet; vertical fractures at 128.4-128.6, 132.8-132.9, 134.3-134.6, 136.3-136.5, 138.5-138.6, 143.7-143.8, 144.4-144.5, 149.6-149.7; healed vertical fractures at 141.0-141.1, 142.0-142.5, 149.9-150.0 feet.

APPENDIX 4. METHODS FOR LABORATORY ANALYSIS OF POROSITY, BULK DENSITY, AND PARTICLE DENSITY OF ROCK CORES

[Methods modified from Vince Gutowski, Eastern Illinois University, written commun., 1987; Blake and Hartge (1986a, 1986b); Danielson and Sutherland (1986).]

1. Select approximately 0.25-foot long core samples from core box. Label the top of selected core samples (side closest to land surface is minimum depth) with "T" and sample number. Use a permanent marker. Wrap the core section in alu­ minum foil or place in plastic sandwich bag.

2. Obtain a laboratory-data record form and fill in the appropriate information on form when conducting the porosity analysis.

3. Using a precision scale, such as a Mettler balance, remove the cores from the aluminum foil or plastic bags and measure the initial weight (Wi, in grams xxx.xx) of the solid core samples (save, but do not weigh any small fragments that have broken off the core during handling). The scale should be calibrated, leveled, and zeroed before weighing the core samples.

4. Place the core samples with the long axis upward in a small, metal sample canister. Place the canisters that contain the core samples in a laboratory oven. Desiccate (dry) the samples for a minimum of 48 hours at 110°C (degrees Celsius).

5. Place the desiccated core samples (and contained fragments) on the scale and determine the dry weight of the samples (Wd, in grams xxx.xx).

6. Fill a vacuum jar about three-fourths full of de-ionized water (or tap water, if deionized water is unavailable). Avoid agitation (aeration) of the water.

7. Check the vacuum pump for proper volume and quality (moisture free) of the pump oil. Replacement oil should be engi­ neered specifically for use in vacuum pumps. Properly dispose of the used oil.

8. Attach a cartridge of properly dried desiccant (such as Drierite) to the vacuum pump. Unhydrated desiccant should appear light gray and translucent. Hydrated desiccant is dark colored and nearly opaque. Hydrated desiccant can be reconditioned by heating 1-2 hours at 200-225 °C.

9. Place the core samples in the vacuum jar, ensuring the cores are fully submersed in the water. Cores should be placed in the vacuum jar in the metal canisters or plastic bags to contain any fragments that may break off during saturating. The fragments must later be weighed along with the saturated cores. Submerse any remaining core samples in a water- filled container while the first set of samples are in the vacuum jar.

10. Saturate the core samples under vacuum for a minimum of 8 hours. Saturate the core samples in water under ambient atmospheric pressure or under vacuum with the pump turned off for a minimum of 48 hours. If air bubbles are noted in the water or emanating from the core samples while under vacuum (with pump turned on), continue pumping under vacuum until no bubbles are observed. There may be some air bubbles trapped under the cores or between the metal canisters or plastic bags; these air bubbles can be released by gently shaking or rotating the vacuum jar.

11. After saturating in water, remove the core samples and gently remove excess water from the surface of the cores by hand wiping; avoid siphoning water from the interior of the cores.

12. Weigh the saturated cores (Ws, in grams xxx.xx) and any fragments of the cores collected in the metal sample canis­ ters or plastic bags.

13. Mount appropriately sized displacement chamber (smallest chamber in which the core sample will fit) vertically on a laboratory ring stand. Fill with de-ionized or tap water to a level above the discharge spigot. Open the drainage spigot and let the water level equilibrate to the level of the open spigot.

14. Empty and dry a collection vessel (graduated cylinder or glass flask) of an appropriate size to collect all waterdischarged from the displacement chamber when a core sample is fully submersed in the chamber (generally about 100 milliliters, but run a test sample first).

15. Slowly lower a saturated core sample into the displacement chamber. There should be no loss of water over the top of the chamber or oscillation of the water surface, thus, allowing an excess volume of water to discharge through the spigot. Determine the volume of all core samples in one run of samples. After each measurement, cover the individual

collection vessel with laboratory sealing tape (to prevent evaporation of the water) and label the vessel withthesample number.

16. Measure the volume (Vt, in milliliters xx.xx; = Vt, in cubic centimeters) of the displaced water. Measure using a 10 milliliter pipette; measurements should be accurate to +/- 0.05 milliliters.

17. Place the saturated cores in the brass-wire harness attached to the triple-beam balance (calibrate and zero the bal­ ance before measurements are made) and lower into a water-filled vessel until fully submersed. Record the sat­ urated weight in water (Ww, in grams xxx.xx). If the weight exceeds the 600-gram limit of the balance, estimate the total weight and note the assumed accuracy of the estimate on the laboratory record form.

18. Estimate the relative volume (AVp) of vesicles and vugs (diameter greater than 0.25 inch) on the surface of the cores:

1 - smooth2 - slightly vesicular3 - moderately vesicular4 - very vesicular, slightly vuggy5 - moderately vuggy6 - very vuggy.

19. Use the collected data in the following formulas to obtain estimates of porosity, bulk density, and particle density of the lithologic cores:

Wp (weight of water in pores = Vp, volume of water inpores, in cubic centimeters): Wp = Ws - Wd

Porosity (P, in percent): P = Vp/VtBulk Density (BD, in grams/cubic centimeter): BD = Wd/Vt Particle Density (PD, in grams): PD = Wd/(Wd-Ww)

20. If an additional volume of pores (AVp) is recorded for individual core samples, adjusted values of porosity should be determined.

APPENDIX 6. DATA AND INTERPRETATIONS FROM AZIMUTHAL SQUARE-ARRAY DIRECT-CURRENT RESISTIVITY SURVEYS IN AND NEAR BELVIDERE, ILL.

Summary Of The Interpretations And Modeling Of Three Azimuthal Square Array D. C. Resistivity Data Sets Collected At Or Near The Parson's Casket Hardware Superfund Site, Belvidere, Illinois

By Peter Joesten and John W. Lane, Jr. Branch of Geophysical Applications and Support U.S. Geological Survey, WRD Connecticut District

The following presents a summary of the results of the analysis of azimuthal square-array direct-current resistivity (SAR) data collected at three sites in northern Illinois near the Parson's Casket Hardware Superfund site in Belvidere.

INTERPRETATION OF AZIMUTHAL DATA

SAR data supplied by Illinois District personnel were interpreted using anisotropic analysis methods described in Lane and others (1995). A spreadsheet was used to convert the raw field resistance values into apparent resistivities for each azimuthal array. The apparent resistivities were plotted on a 360° (degrees) polar diagram for graphical interpreta­

tion. The spreadsheet also was used to calculate the primary axis of anisotropy, which can be interpreted as parallel to the primary fracture direction. The resistivity anisotropy also was calculated with the spreasheet. Under the assump­ tion that the observed anisotropy is induced by a single set of similarly oriented steeply dipping fractures, the second­ ary (fracture) porosity was then calculated. Analytical inter­ pretation of anisotropic resistivity data is appropriate in areas with a single set of fractures. Departures from a single fracture direction degrade the analysis but are reasonably valid if one fracture set has a dominant response. For exam­ ple, an ideal SAR data set when plotted on a polar diagram appears elliptical in shape. The ellipse has one dominant axis of anisotropy because of fracturing, with the maximum and minimum resistivities in perpendicular directions. The presence of other directions of fracturing can modify and distort the ellipse. Some of the SAR data discussed here depart from the single fracture model, indicating the pres­ ence of multiple sets of fractures. The graphical interpreta­ tions allow the interpretation of multiple directions of fracturing. The anlytical method allows identification of the primary fracture strike, and a secondary porosity that should be viewed as a first-order approximation. A tabu­ lated summary of interpreted data and a short discussion is given for each of the three sites.

The data collected at this site were difficult to process and model. The data for each azimuthal array display an irregular, nonanisotropic pattern. The maximum and mini­ mum resistivities are not perpendicular in any of the arrays. The data may indicate the presence of cultural noise, and (or) the presence of fractures in multiple orientations.

Increased numbers of measurements at each position and azimuth would have increased the usefulness of the field data. The raw data values are low and did not stabilize for some of the position. A larger number of measurements (six or eight, as opposed to four) could have provided a more accurate mean value. The drift in the data may be related to the presence of electrical noise at the site.

Unable to obtain meaningful azimuthal data

105° assumed for secondary porosity calculations

The secondary maximum, 105°, is perpendicular to themaximum 01 5°

Secondary azimuth.2May not be accurate (especially if there are multiple azimuths).

These data were originally collected on May 22, 1996, but the 000° azimuth data accidentally were deleted. Azimuths 000° and 015° were recollected on June 27, 1996. There is a static difference in the values of the azimuthal data collected on the two different dates. The data for the 000° azimuth were normalized by comparing the difference in the 000° and 015° azimuths collected on June 27, 1996 and applying this difference to the data collected on May 22, 1996. The values of 000° are approximated by compar­ ing them to the two different versions of 015°. This azimuth is, at best, uncertain, and possibly incorrect. No parts of the interpretation are based solely on the 000° or 090° azimuths.

Data sets sqrBOOO.dat and sqrXOOO.dat were collected on the same day. The purpose of sqrBOOO.dat was to help determine the reproducibility of the data. All data matches up well except the beta square 4. The X-resistance value is roughly double the B-resistance value. This difference is not reflected in the alpha or gamma values and may be the result of cultural interference, field error, or an increase in the injected current.

The data at this site seems to be more precise than that collected at the Parson's Casket Hardware Superfund site, but taking six or eight measurements would have improved the usefulness of and assistance with the interpre­ tation of the field data.

The true azimuth is probably between 150° and 165°. This may be a feature created by the quarry or possibly a layer of different material

Secondary feature.

The data from this site may reflect the effects of the adjacent quarry (within about 520 feet). The blasting and (or) removal of quarried material could alter the stress field and create openings in fracture sets that might not be repre­ sentative of regional conditions.
