“…No flow was detected below a depth of 1,050 ft where the lower confining unit is present. The transmissivity of the LFA is 5,100 ft 2 /d at Barbour Pointe (Gonthier and Clarke, 2016), compared to 4,000 ft 2 /d at Pooler (Gonthier, 2012) and 10,700 ft 2 /d at Hunter Army Airfield (Williams, 2010).…”

“…Results of a flowmeter survey indicate that the LFCU contributes little to the overall flow in a test hole open to the entire FAS, and a single water-bearing zone is present between depths of 700 and 719 ft, yielding 7 gallons per minute (gal/min). Hydraulic properties of the LFCU were not measured at Barbour Pointe; however, they were characterized at the nearby Pooler and Hunter Army Airfield sites (Williams, 2010;Gonthier, 2012). Slug tests and core samples were analyzed for selected intervals within the LFCU at each of the two sites.…”

“…Slug tests and core samples were analyzed for selected intervals within the LFCU at each of the two sites. At Hunter Army Airfield, the estimated vertical hydraulic conductivity (K v ) ranged from 0.02 to 0.36 foot per day (ft/d), with a median of 0.075 ft/d (Williams, 2010). At Pooler, estimated K v ranged from 0.05 to 1.67 ft/d, with a median of 0.79 ft/d.…”

“…The regional model of Payne and others (2005) was modified using hydrogeologic information obtained from field investigations at Barbour Pointe (Gonthier and Clarke, 2016), and from existing wells in the vicinity of Berwick Plantation near Berwick (Jordan, Jones, and Goulding, Inc., 2002), Pooler (Gonthier, 2012), Hunter Army Airfield (Williams, 2010), Rincon (Carter and Sloope, 2004), and Fort Stewart (Gonthier, 2011). These modifications involved addition of new hydraulic-property zones for vertical and horizontal hydraulic conductivity in the UFA and LFA and intervening semiconfining unit (LFCU).…”

“…These include Hunter Army Airfield (Clarke and others, 2010;Williams, 2010), Fort Stewart (Clarke and others, 2011;Gonthier, 2011), Pooler (Cherry and Clarke, 2013;Gonthier, 2012), and Rincon Carter and Sloope, 2004). The scope of these investigations included field testing and groundwater-model simulations to determine the hydrogeology and water quality of the FAS and to provide data needed to assess the effect of LFA pumping on the UFA.…”

ForewordThis compendium of papers describes results of hydrologic monitoring and hydrologic and environmental studies completed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Georgia during [2011][2012][2013]. The USGS addresses a wide variety of water issues in the State of Georgia working with local, State, and Federal partners. As the primary Federal science agency for water resource information, the USGS monitors the quantity and quality of water in the Nation's rivers and aquifers, assesses the sources and fate of contaminants in aquatic systems, collects and analyzes data on aquatic ecosystems, develops tools to improve the application of hydrologic information, and ensures that its information and tools are available to all potential users.During 2011-2013, the USGS continued a long-term program of monitoring stream and groundwater resources, including flow, water quality, and water use. In addition, a variety of hydrologic and environmental studies were completed to assess water availability, hydrologic hazards, and the impact of development on water resources. Information on USGS activities in Georgia is available online at http://ga.water.usgs.gov/.Cover. All photographs by Alan M.
