Summary

A three-dimensional, groundwater-flow model (MODFLOW-2000) and a particle-tracking program (MODPATH5) were used to evaluate the effects of changes in pumping on regional groundwater-flow paths, 2005 and 2010, and areas contributing recharge to discharging wells, 1990-2010, in the vicinity of North Penn Area 7 Superfund site, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The steady-state model was used to simulate conditions for No Pumping, 1990, 2000, 2005, and 2010. The model was used to (1) evaluate the changes in flow paths from likely contaminant sources, and (2) delineate areas contributing recharge to streams and pumping wells. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated [...]

Purpose

This groundwater model was created to evaluate the effects of changes in pumping on regional groundwater-flow paths, 2005 and 2010, and areas contributing recharge to discharging wells, 1990-2010, in the vicinity of North Penn Area 7 Superfund site, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2017-5014 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175014).
