1 Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality Risk Evaluation/Corrective Action Program (RECAP)

2 Aquifer Tests

3 Appendix F n Current Use –1-mile radius water well survey –500-feet radius walking receptor survey n Potential Use –Maximum sustainable well yield »Direct Measurement »Estimated Measurement –Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of groundwater »EPA Standard Method 160.1

4 NOTE: CLASS 1A - Currently supplies a public water supply. CLASS 2A - Currently supplies a domestic, agricultural, or other supply. Figure 3

5 Determine Site Constraints n Soil Type n Thickness of Encountered Formations n Identification of Aquifers and Water Levels n Aquitards Encountered n Hydraulic Barriers

6 Determine Aquifer Properties n Hydraulic Conductivity (K) n Saturated Thickness (b) n Transmissivity (T) n Specific Yield (Sy) n Specific Storage (Ss) n Storativity (S) n Porosity (n)
