Purpose:
NC-EWDP-23P is a dual completion piezometer well. Primary technical
objectives include: 1) collect and geologically log continuous lithologic
samples; 2) define valley-fill stratigraphic sequence and groundwater flow
paths down-gradient of the proposed repository; and 3) provide water level
and water chemistry data of alluvium and underlying Tertiary deposits; and
4) support the characterization of transport parameters.
