“…This unit, the Cohansey Formation, is a wedge of unconsolidated sands and gravels of Tertiary age, 45-75 m in thickness near the Atlantic Coast and becoming less thick to the west (Rhodehamel, 1979). In the highly permeable sand, water infiltrates rapidly, so that the soil surface in the uplands is usually arid (Rhodehamel, 1970).…”

“…Upward seepage gradients have been reported within the Cohansey-Kirkwood Formation (Rhodehamel, 1970) and the idealized flow system shown I in Figure 3-10 has been suggested. In this diagram, the BOMARC Missile Site would fall within the outer fringes of the upland recharge area, where local recharge of the shallow portions of the aquifer is favored, and the depth of penetration of this recharge water is limited.…”

“…The hydraulic conductivity ranges from 750 to 1,000 gallons per day (gpd) per square foot, typical of well-sorted sands and gravels. The transmissivity ranges from 75,000 to 100,000 gpd per foot and the specific yield generally is less than 25 percent, typical of fine gravel to gravely sand (Rhodehamel, 1970).…”

The authors are grateful to the private landowners and local, State, and Federal (U.S. Forest Service) officials whose cooperation allowed the aquifer tests at Brendan Byrne State Forest, Wharton State Forest, and Richard Stockton College to be conducted. The authors acknowledge the capable leadership and extensive coordinating efforts of Richard Walker (retired) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in arranging for and conducting the three aquifer tests. The authors also thank USGS colleagues Donald Storck, Robert Rosman, Robert Atkinson, John Trainor, Leon Kauffman, Christine Wieben, Glen Carleton, William Ellis, Dale Simmons, and Denis Sun for their assistance with computer applications, aquifer tests, and report preparation. The timely assistance of Richard Winston (USGS) in helping to resolve several software issues is gratefully acknowledged. Leon Kauffman (USGS) coded a computer routine used to assemble input files for, executing, and processing output for a large number of sensitivity and case-study simulations. Christine Wieben (USGS) capably managed a tremendous volume of data. The assistance of John Bunnell, Kim Laidig, Nicholas Procopio, and Robert Zampella of the New Jersey Pinelands Commission Science Office in planning the sensitivity analyses, case studies, and other aspects of the study is gratefully acknowledged. The authors gratefully acknowledge USGS colleagues Glen Carleton, Dennis Risser, and Howard Reeves, and Pinelands Commission scientists John Bunnell, Kim Laidig, and Nicholas Procopio, for providing helpful comments that greatly improved this report. Special thanks are extended to Anthony Navoy of the USGS, who initially formulated the central concepts of this project. His guidance, insight, and feedback were instrumental to the successful completion of this work and are greatly appreciated. AbstractThe Kirkwood-...
