ENSAT
was contracted by a wood preserving facility that was experiencing
water quality problems from an existing surface water source. The
facility requires up to 50,000 gallons of water per day with relatively
low concentrations of iron and sulfate. Water temperatures also
present a problem during the warmer months of the year. ENSAT completed
a hydrogeologic evaluation of the site, which indicated that the
groundwater of sufficient quantity and quality was available within
the fractured bedrock aquifer beneath the site. Test well locations
were selected based on a fracture trace analysis. Test well drilling,
geologic logging and in-field geochemical testing indicated the
presence of high quality water and adequate water-bearing zones
for development. ENSAT provided guidance to the facility with production
well testing and engineering. One supply well has been in production
since the spring of 1995.
