How to Install Monitoring Wells in Map View
Click on the Map View screen to activate the interface. The map shows the location of the Buffalo River, the pipeline and the break where the release of chromium-bearing fluids took place. The blue lines are contours of equal elevation of the water table. The expected ground-water flow path is labelled in green on the map below. Note that the elevation of the water table decreases from the pipeline to the river. Superimposed on the map is a grid with distances in feet north and east of the southwest corner of the map.
Well installation and water sampling should focus on:
- the expected ground-water flow path direction and
- the estimated minimum and maximum distance of plume travel away from the pipeline break.
