11/24/2003Aspect Consulting Awarded Hydrogeologic Study of the Lower Dosewallips / Brinnon Area The WRIA 16 Planning Unit has contracted with Aspect Consulting
to serve as prime consultant for a Hydrogeologic Study of the Lower Dosewallips/Brinnon
area. Erick
Miller, Senior Associate Hydrogeologist with Aspect Consulting will
serve as the overall project manager. The WRIA 16 planning unit desires
an investigation that will provide information on the geometry of the
aquifers, groundwater flow within the various aquifers and the interaction
of groundwater and surface water in order to understand the impacts future
growth in the area may have on the Dosewallips River. Surface water –
groundwater interaction is being evaluated through the use of mini-piezometers,
continuous temperature loggers, and naturally occurring major ions and
isotopes. Aquifers characterization includes compilation of existing hydrogeologic
data, locating wells, conducting hydrogeologic stratigraphic analysis,
long-term groundwater level monitoring, extensive groundwater elevation
mapping and development of GIS coverages. |
