Stratigraphic Unit

0-16    Silty Sand with Gravel
16-20    Well Graded Sand with Silt and Gravel
20-25    Well Graded Gravel with Sand
25-95    Well Graded Sand with Gravel

Access:  From the intersection of US Highway 95 (US 95) and Highway 373, head east on US Highway 95 about 1.5 miles and turn right onto an unnamed dirt road.  There is an unlocked gate at the edge of the US 95 right-of-way. Proceed south along the dirt road about 0.9 miles to the cleared well pad area on the left.   Click on the thumbnail image for a larger view.

Purpose
- Water Resource Conditions in the Amargosa Desert:  
NC-GWE-8PA is one of seven boreholes and monitoring wells to: 1) collect baseline flow and chemical data south and west of the Nevada Nuclear Security Site, and 2) determine head relationships near the Gravity fault to help determine the role of the Gravity fault in restricting or facilitating groundwater flow in the Amargosa Valley.
