Summary

Water level, water temperature, and specific conductance data were collected during natural gradient tests on six observation wells screened in the upper transmissive zone of the Ogallala aquifer at the North East 2nd Street Superfund site in Happy, Texas, from November 6-13, 2023. Tests involved gravity draining 100-160 gallons of a low-concentration salt-spiked solution with an associated specific conductance of less than 8,000 microsiemens per centimeter (µs/cm) into the wells, measuring water level responses, and recording continuous downhole water temperature and water conductivity (specific conductance). Gravity drainage of the salt-spiked solution into each well took approximately 1 hour at average rates of 2.4 to 5.2 gallons [...]

Purpose

The datasets provide information on the hydraulic and transport properties of the upper transmissive zone of the Ogallala aquifer at the North East 2nd Street Superfund site, Happy, Texas, using the response of the aquifer to the natural gradient tests in 6 observation wells. Tests were performed in the fall of 2023 and reflect the aquifer response to a low-stressed emplacement of a dilute salt spike in the wells and subsequent flushing of the well by ambient flow.
