Summary

As part of a research study in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army at Fort Irwin National Training Center, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) evaluated unsaturated zone soil property data of cores from a newly drilled monitoring well site near a dry well and Four-plex baseball field. Measurements and observations are presented for cores from an initial drilling attempt (site ESW2A), which stopped at 85 feet below land surface due to equipment issues, and data are presented for cores from the successful drilling attempt (ESW2B) down to 240 feet below land surface. The two core sites are located approximately 6 feet from each other. Data measured on core material included gravimetric measurements [...]

Purpose

Laboratory measurements of water content and matric potential (gravimetric data) can be used to evaluate the degree of saturation of sediment above the water table in response to managed aquifer recharge near a dry well and irrigated Four-plex baseball field in Fort Irwin. Specific conductance measurements on soil leachate were done to assess the presence of naturally-accumulated salts in soil horizons in the unsaturated zone.
