Chesnut Park Managed Aquifer Recharge Well Drilling And Completion Of Subsurface Testing

Description

The MAR test well (MAR-1) is proposed to be completed with 24-inch steel casing to approximately 600 feet below land surface (bls) and an open hole up to approximately 1,250 feet bls into the Avon Park Formation which will utilize the highly permeable unit described as the Avon Park high-permeability zone (APHPZ).  The proposed monitoring system includes the existing monitoring wells completed into the overlying Suwannee Limestone permeable zone.  These wells are storage zone monitor wells (SZMW) for the Chesnut ASR system and are therefore designated as SZMW-1 and SZMW-2. SZMW-2 will be within 150 feet of the MAR well and SZMW-1 will represent the approximate property boundary of the site which is owned by the County.  One nominal 6-inch diameter monitor well designated MW-1. The well will be completed with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) casing to approximately 400 feet bls and open hole to approximately 430 feet bls to monitor the permeable unit above the bottom of the USDW. This well will only be constructed if required by FDEP and will be determined based on the hydrogeologic conditions encountered during the drilling of MAR-1.
