Access:
From the
intersection of Highway 95 and Highway 373 head west on Highway 95 about
6 miles to the highway gate on the south side of the road. Travel 2.2
miles south on dirt road along powerline. When you come to a T in the
road, turn east. The well is located 1 mile down the road.
Purpose: The
NC-EWDP-32P borehole was designed to serve as a hydrogeologic
exploration borehole to approximately 1,000 feet below ground surface.
The well was designed to serve as a triple-string piezometer well with
three screens completed from 239 to 278 feet, 464 to 483 feet, and 698
to 737 feet. The borehole was completed to 1,000 feet after meeting
geologic objectives. Primary technical objectives include: 1) collect
and geologically log continuous drill cutting samples and run borehole
geophysical logs to approximately 1,000 feet; 2) use these data to
define the stratigraphic sequence and to better characterize geologic
structural boundaries immediately south of the proposed repository; and
3) provide water level and water chemistry data.
