Access:  From the intersection of US Highway 95 and Highway 373, head south on Highway 373 about 1.9 miles and turn right onto an unnamed dirt road.  Proceed west along the dirt road about 0.25 miles to the cleared well pad area. The well is on the northwest part of the pad.  Click on the thumbnail image for a larger view.

Purpose
- Water Resource Conditions in the Amargosa Desert:  
NC-GWE-Felderhoff-25-1PA 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.
