Factors Effecting the Determination of Radon in Groundwater
In 1991 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a "proposed" analytical method for radon in water (EPA Method 913.0). This method involves injecting a measured amount of sample beneath a liquid-scintillation (LS) cocktail, and then measuring the amount of radon that diffuses into the cocktail
Study of Well Construction Guidance for Arsenic Contamination in Northeast Wisconsin
Naturally occurring arsenic in groundwater at levels above the Drinking Water Standard (DWS = 50 ug/L) in East Central Wisconsin has resulted in the identification of an Arsenic 7 Advisory Area (AAA).
1994 Groundwater Survey for Alachlor in Southern Wisconsin: Final Report
Alachlor is an herbicide used primarily to control grasses in corn and soybeans. Alachlor is manufactured by the Agricultural Group of Monsanto Company and sold under the trade name Lasso.
Improved Detection Limits for Ground Water Monitoring
This study was designed to improve the detection of trace contaminants in ground water. The objectives were to (1) develop a new approach to concentrating sample analytes (while minimizing interferences)
Application of a Discrete Fracture Flow Model for Wellhead Protection at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin
A wellhead-protection study for the city of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, demonstrates the necessity of combining detailed hydrostratigraphic analysis with groundwater modeling to delineate zones of contribution for municipal wells in a fractured aquifer.
Stratigraphic Controls on Distribution of Hydraulic Conductivity in Carbonate Aquifers
The objective of this project was to characterize the hydraulic conductivity distribution of carbonate aquifers in the Silurian (Niagaran) and Ordovician (Sinnipee) dolomites in eastern Wisconsin (Figure 1) by integrating sequence stratigraphy with geophysical and hydrogeologic data.
