EX-6 Exploratory Well

133034144500871, Local number, 18-3050-04 Macheche Exploratory Well EX-6

LOCATION.--Lat 13° 30' 34' N., Long 144° 50' 08" E., Hydrologic Unit 20100003, Macheche area. Owner: Government of Guam

AQUIFER.--Barrigada Limestone

WELL CHARACTERISTICS.--Drilled basal ground water exploratory well. Sounded depth at time of drilling 407 ft, Well deepened to 462 ft in August, 1981. Sounded depth for this study 448 ft, Borehole diameter 12 in., Casing diameter 6 in., cased to bottom.

DATUM.—Altitude of land surface datum is 309 ft. Measuring point and new altitude (determined for this study): black inked triangle on top of PVC 6-in. casing, 309.06 ft above mean sea level. Old measuring point and previous measuring point altitude: top of steel surface casing, 309.40 ft above mean sea level.

PERIOD OF RECORD.—

Water Level: Occasional measurements, August 1978 to May 2004. Manual measurements for this study, May 18, 2004 to February 23, 2005. Water-level recorder, August 5, 2004 to February 23, 2005.

Water Quality: Occasional chloride, various other constituents, and specific conductance measurements from thief sampler at specific depths, August 1982 to September 1995. Specific-conductance profiles: using Ocean Sensors conductivity-temperature-depth logger: from May 15, 2001 to February 26, 2004, and for this study, May 18, 2004 to February 23, 2005. Fixed-depth specific-conductance hydrographs, from May 20, 2004 to February 23, 2005.
