Monitor-wells aquifer installation

Detailed sampling can include, but is not limited to, the installation of monitoring well networks. After the wells have been installed, aquifer tests are typically performed. Once the aquifer tests are performed and the aquifer characteristics are determined, time series sampling for a given contaminant, or a surrogate, is undertaken. The combined results of these efforts provide the basis for development of a treatment strategy. Modeling can be used as part of this effort to help determine the best technical and most cost-effective techniques to be used at a site. 

On-site aquifer testing has also been performed in several phases. Typically, pumping tests are performed on newly installed injection and recovery wells to collect data used to determine optimum pumping or maximum injection rates. Monitoring wells are also tested to determine the location or feasibility of injection and recovery wells. 

Also, a series of near surface bedrock wells was installed in the bedrock (less than 75 feet in depth) to monitor the upper most aquifer.
