About this file
This is a geotechnical investigation report prepared by the Aterra-Schnabel JV for the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in West Virginia, documenting piezometer water level data from two proposed dam sites on Brush Creek. The report presents comprehensive hydrological monitoring data collected from observation wells at Site 14 and Site 15, capturing groundwater elevation measurements and water level fluctuations over an extended monitoring period from March 2019 through July 2024. Site 14 includes two monitored boreholes (B-42A and B-641) with normal pool elevation at 2420.2 feet, while Site 15 includes six monitored locations (B-51A, B-651, GF-1D, GF-1S, GF-2D, GF-2S, and GF-3) with normal pool elevation at 2489.5 feet. The data collection spans nearly five years and includes observations under various reservoir conditions, including normal pool levels, low pool conditions, and artesian pressure conditions at certain wells.
The piezometer data demonstrates groundwater behavior at varying hydraulic heads across both sites, with water level readings recorded at multiple dates to establish baseline conditions for the geotechnical investigation. Notable findings include consistent water elevations at Site 14 ranging from approximately 2397.6 to 2416.3 feet, while Site 15 exhibits more variable conditions with elevations ranging from 2435.2 to 2486.0 feet. Several observation wells at Site 15, particularly B-651 and GF-3, displayed artesian conditions during the initial monitoring period in 2019, indicating upward hydraulic pressure. The document serves as supporting technical documentation for preliminary and final geotechnical assessments associated with the proposed Brush Creek dam projects, with data organized by boring identification, ground surface elevation, depth to water, water elevation, and monitoring date.
