Summary
This hydrogeologic investigation provides baseline data on water quality and aquifer properties for the area surrounding the underground coal gasification site near Pricetown, West Virginia. Stratigraphic and domestic water well studies show that most wells are in shale aquifers of the Middle Dunkard Group; these wells yield about 1 to 8 gallons per minute of relatively good-quality water, except for excessive dissolved iron, manganese, arsenic and lead in some wells. Moderate to low permeabilities of 0.032 to 0.18 millidarcies and transmissivities of 268 to 1003 gallons per day per foot were measured for shallow aquifers. Aquifer permeability and well productivity are significantly higher for wells within 35 feet of mapped fracture traces. (auth)
