Gorge Picnic Area Well Basalt Basalt Aquifer Spring Discharge Area Into River. Malad Gorge Talus Aquifer Pillow/rubble zone Water table North South Glenns Ferry Formation

Talus = about 18 % of the linear distance of 1,098 feet between well and MG-7 Malad Gorge Tracer Test Charcoal packet concentrations of fluorescein dye (not water concentration) What was learned: Which spring has best hydraulic communication with the well. 87% of dye passed by MG 7&8. General azimuth of flow = (almost due northwest) Injection method of tubing worked. Injection level in well worked. All dye moved out of the well by 3.5 days. No problems with park water supply and green water. Water sampling frequency was too long. Charcoal packets are good contingency planning. Site is accessible by foot. Number of sites seems acceptable. IPCo. Div. charcoal packet detected dye even with dilution of river water. Optimal location to place ‘SCUFA’ in-situ fluorometer with datalogger. Amount of dye needed.
