Summary

Four boreholes (MW1, MW1UZ, MW2, MW2.1) were drilled in the fall of 2017 and summer of 2018 in upper Redwell Basin, a headwater catchment underlain by hydrothermally altered sedimentary rock in the Elk Mountains near the town of Crested Butte, Colorado. The boreholes were continuously cored using a wireline HQ-sized coring system and sample a combination of Quaternary-aged surficial colluvium and the Cretaceous-aged Mesaverde Formation. In-situ injection-based hydraulic tests were performed in MW1 and MW2 during drilling while advancing using a single-packer apparatus in tandem with an in-line flow meter and interval pressure monitoring. Borehole geophysical logging was performed in MW1, MW1UZ, and MW2.1 in the open holes. The boreholes [...]

Purpose

The lack of high-elevation groundwater wells limits our understanding of the deeper (greater than 10s of meters) hydrogeology of mountain headwater catchments. These data were collected to provide direct observations of bedrock geologic and hydrologic conditions in a high-elevation headwater catchment and to advance our understanding of the role of bedrock groundwater in metal and nutrient fluxes to near surface environments.
