This dataset contains the original data, analysis data, and a results synopsis of 12 slug tests performed in 7 wells completed in unconfined fractured bedrock near the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. Aquifers tested include extrusive and intrusive volcanic rocks and slate. Estimated hydraulic conductivity range from 10.2 to 2x10-6 feet/day. Mean and median hydraulic conductivity are 3.7 and 1.6, respectively. The highest and lowest hydraulic conductivities were in slate and fractured lava, respectively. Compressed air and traditional displacement-tube methods were employed. Water levels were measured with barometrically compensated (11 tests) and absolute pressure transducers (1 test) and recorded with...
