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 borehole for a newly drilled monitoring well near a dry well and Four-plex baseball field. Cores were continuous from land surface down to 240 feet below land surface and were drilled by consultants to EPA using sonic rotary–a fluidless drilling technique. Data on this page consist of: 1) field drilling notes from USGS and consultants to EPA (GeoSystems Analysis, Inc., Tucson, Arizona); 2) field descriptions of core lithology–including grain size, sorting, color, mineralogy,...

As part of a larger groundwater research study conducted at the U.S. Army Fort Irwin National Training Center (NTC), located approximately 35 miles north-northeast of Barstow, California, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have cooperated to evaluate unsaturated zone soil property data of cores from the borehole for a newly drilled monitoring well (ESW2B). Specific horizons of interest were identified and selected for detailed grain-size distribution analysis using the Fritsch Analysette A28 Image Sizer (particle analyzer) located at the USGS California Water Science Center (CAWSC) in San Diego, CA. The particle analyzer identified circularity and...

The U.S. Army Fort Irwin National Training Center (NTC), approximately 35 miles north-northeast of Barstow, California, obtains all of its potable water supply from three groundwater basins (Irwin, Langford, and Bicycle Basins) within the NTC boundaries. In these basins, groundwater withdrawals exceed natural recharge, resulting in water-level declines. However, managed aquifer recharge using recycled water (treated wastewater) has offset water-level declines in Irwin Basin. Additionally, localized water-quality changes have occurred in some parts of Irwin Basin as a result of human activities (for example, wastewater disposal practices, landscape irrigation, and (or) leaking pipes). As part of a research study...

This data release contains numerical U- and Th-isotopic data used to calculate uranium-series age estimates and initial 234U/238U activity ratios for samples of carbonate-rich clast coatings, oncoidal tufa rinds, calcite-replaced rhizoliths, carbonate nodules, and ostracod shells from sites associated with different lake levels of paleo Lake Manix near Barsow, CA. In addition, measured U concentrations and 234U/238U activity ratios for modern streamflow in the Mojave River and shallow groundwater from wells along the course of the Mojave River and nearby vicinity are included to help define the uranium-isotope composition of water that likely supplied paleolakes. Electronic data included herein support age interpretations...
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Sentinel-1A satellite were acquired for this study from the Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) and used to generate spatially detailed land-surface deformation maps (interferograms) for the Mojave River and Morongo groundwater basins during 2014–19 using InSAR methods.
This data release contains digital data generated by the U.S. Geological Survey under cooperative agreements with San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District to characterize the three-dimensional hydrogeology of the Yucaipa groundwater subbasin, located east of Los Angeles in southern California. This dataset contains borehole lithologic data, and geospatial data of a three-dimensional hydrogeologic framework model (HFM).The borehole dataset is released as a series of .csv ascii files including (1) individual borehole location, and (2) downhole lithologic interval data derived from well drillers’ lithology logs and parsed to a series of textural descriptors. The geospatial data include polygon and polyline feature...

The characteristics, discharge, and water quality of springs and seeps, at the Fort Irwin National Training Center (NTC) were evaluated during 2015 and 2016. Geophysical, hydrological, and water-quality data were used to help characterize and document a baseline of current (2016) hydrologic conditions and water quality of springs and seeps located on the NTC. Hydrologic methods used in this study included discrete discharge measurements to evaluate surface flow from the springs, and temperature measurements to trace groundwater movement beneath the springs. This data release contains discharge measurements and temperature data at four springs: Garlic, Bitter, Jack Spring East, and Jack Spring West.
Cone penetration data reported by Pacific Gas and Electric Company are reported here in support of a U.S. Geological Survey background study on hexavalent chromium concentrations in Hinkley Valley, California. Cone penetration tests are a minimally invasive direct push method of measuring subsurface properties, primarily related to soil friction and resistance to penetration. These data can be interpreted to provide information on soil types and behaviors.

This page presents water levels measured by consultants in six wells in Hinkley, California, between 2017-2018. Water levels were taken in coordination with quarterly sampling done by Blaine Tech personnel for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. Water levels from these wells are reported here in support of a U.S. Geological Survey study on background concentrations of hexavalent chromium.

This Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) database contains all the geologic map information used to publish the Preliminary Surficial Geologic Map of Leuhman Ridge and the Surrounding Area, Edwards Air Force Base and Air Force Research Laboratory, Kern and San Bernardino Counties, California, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2023-1014. This digital map database represents the general distribution of surficial geologic units and related landforms and structures, and delineates map units that are identified by general age and lithology following the stratigraphic nomenclature of previous surficial geologic mapping in the Mojave Desert by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). This geologic map database is accompanied...
Data were collected to help define hydrologic controls on groundwater movement as part of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study on background concentrations of hexavalent chromium in groundwater aquifers near Hinkley, California. Most data associated with the background study are available through the National Water Information System (NWIS) website, and GeoLog Locator. This product is intended to publish data that cannot be released through NWIS and GeoLog. These data include: (1) pneumatic and physical slug tests done by USGS personnel; (2) cone penetration test data collected under contract to, and reported by, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E); and (3) water levels in selected wells measured by consultants to...
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...

Cr(VI) contaminated groundwater at Hinkley is undergoing bioremediation using added ethanol as a reductant in a volume of the aquifer defined as the In-situ Reduction Zone (IRZ). This treatment effectively reduces Cr(VI) to Cr(III) which is rapidly sequestered by sorption to aquifer particle surfaces and by co-precipitation within iron or manganese bearing minerals forming in place as reduction proceeds. Successful mitigation of the extant Cr(VI) plume is projected to require 90 to 220 years, at which time ethanol loading will likely cease. This projection assumes that Cr(VI) removal is permanent and that no Cr(III) will oxidize back to Cr(VI) in the event of changing hydrological conditions resulting in oxygen...
