“…OFG is possibly assisting in the maintenance of coastal water qualities in 70% of the regions included in this study. However, only three of these regions have investigations into their onshore-offshore freshwater interactions (Pope, 2006;Depaul and Rossman, 2013;Amir et al, 2014;Morgan et al, 2016). The scarcity of studies into the onshore use of OFG suggests that much of this use is either inadvertent, or at least is not informed by knowledge of the contributions to freshwater availability of OFG emplaced under paleo-and/or predevelopment conditions.…”

“…Only a handful of localised studies have considered the interactions between OFG and onshore hydrogeological conditions. For example, regional sharp-interface modelling by McAuley et al (2001) and Pope (2006) concluded that under current pumping regimes, the freshwater-saltwater interface will reach the New Jersey (USA) shoreline within the Atlantic City 800-foot sand aquifer in 710 years.…”

“…The aquifer thickens downdip and southward from a thickness of 40 ft near Barnegat Light to more than 200 ft at Cape May City (McAuley and others, 2001). Recharge is through vertical flow from the overlying Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer throughout the extent of the aquifer, although recharge is more substantial near the updip limit where the confining unit is leaky or where the aquifers are in direct contact (Pope, 2006). Recharge also occurs via lateral flow from the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer near the updip boundary.…”

“…Concentrations decreased during the winter and spring. Moreover, recent flow simulations indicate that the 250-mg/L isochlor will not intersect production wells at Stone Harbor for at least 720 years under various waterallocation scenarios (Pope, 2006). Farther to the north and offshore of Atlantic County, the saltwater front is estimated to be about 9.6 and 8 mi to the southeast of production wells in Ventnor and Brigantine, respectively.…”

“…However, many aquifers in coastal areas are confined: Upper Florida Aquifer from southeastern South Carolina (Burt 1993) to southern Alabama (Miller 1992); coastal aquifers of Texas (Weiss 1992); Chickasawhay River Aquifer of southern Mississippi (Miller 1992); Upper Chesapeake Aquifer from Maryland to North Carolina; Magothy Aquifer in New York (Leahy and Martin 1993); 800‐foot sand aquifer in New Jersey (Pope 2006) similar to aquifers along the Louisiana coast (Nyman and Fayard 1978; Weiss 1992). The need for investigation of well and aquifer contamination becomes apparent when examining past studies, which have not generally considered this problem.…”

Storm‐Damaged Saline‐Contaminated Boreholes as a Means of Aquifer Contamination

2007

Saline water from a storm surge can flow down storm-damaged submerged water supply wells and contaminate boreholes and surrounding aquifers. Using data from conventional purging techniques, aquifer test response analysis, chemical analysis, and regression analysis of chloride/silica (Cl/Si) ratio, equations were derived to estimate the volume of saline water intrusion into a well and a porous media aquifer, the volume of water needed to purge a well shortly following an intrusion event, and the volume of water needed after delay of several or more months, when the saline plume has expanded. Purging time required is a function of volume of water and pumping rate. The study site well is located within a shoreline community of Lake Pontchartrain, St. Tammany Parish, in southeastern Louisiana, United States, which was impacted by two hurricane storm surges and had neither been rehabilitated nor chlorinated prior to our study. Chemical analysis of water samples in fall 2005 and purging of well and aquifer in June 6, 2006, indicated saline water had intruded the well in 2005 and the well and aquifer in 2006. The volume of water needed to purge the study well was approximately 200 casing volumes, which is significantly greater than conventionally used during collection of water samples for water quality analyses.
