Water levels were monitored in 24 wells in the Yucca Mountain area, Nevada, during 1997 and 26 wells during 1998. These wells, which represented 31 depth intervals during 1997 and 33 depth intervals during 1998, were monitored periodically. All wells monitor water levels in volcanic rocks of Tertiary age except one that monitors water levels in carbonate rocks of Paleozoic age. Mean water-level altitudes in the Tertiary volcanic rocks ranged from 727.87 to 1,034.57 meters above sea level during 1997 and from 727.86 to 1,034.76 meters above sea level during 1998. The mean water-level altitude in the well monitoring the Paleozoic carbonate rocks was 752.71 and 752.87 meters above sea level during 1997 and 1998, respectively. During 1997-98, water levels in the Yucca Mountain area could have been affected by long-term pumping at the C-hole complex that began on May 8, 1996, and continued through November 12, 1997. Other groundwater pumpage in the Yucca Mountain area included annual pumpage from water-supply wells UE-25 J-12 and UE-25 J-13.

Water levels were monitored in 28 wells in the Yucca Mountain area, Nevada, during 1995. Seventeen wells representing 18 depth intervals were monitored periodically, generally on a monthly basis, 2 wells representing 3 depth intervals were monitored hourly, and 9 wells representing 15 depth intervals were monitored both periodically and hourly. All wells monitor water levels in Tertiary volcanic rocks except one that monitors water levels in Paleozoic carbonate rocks. Water levels were measured using calibrated steel tapes, a multiconductor cable unit, and/or pressure transducers. Mean water-level altitudes in the Tertiary volcanic rocks ranged from about 728 to about 1,034 meters above sea level during 1995. The mean water-level altitude in the well monitoring the Paleozoic carbonate rocks was about 753 meters above sea level during 1995. Mean water level altitudes were only an average of about 0.01 meters higher than 1994 mean water level altitudes. A single-well aquifer test was conducted on well UE-25 WT#12 during August and September 1995. Well USW G-2 was also pumped during October and November 1995, in preparation for single-well aquifer test at that well. All data were acquired in accordance with a quality-assurance program to support the reliability of the data.
