Basic data report for drillholes H-14 and H-15 (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant-WIPP)

Mercer, J.W.; Snyder, R.P.

Drillholes H-14 and H-15 were drilled to investigate data gaps in the hydrologic hole distribution at the WIPP site. In addition to the information gained on the Culebra Dolomite Member, the holes yielded hydraulic and/or stratigraphic information on the Forty-niner, Magenta Dolomite, and Tamarisk Members of the Rustler Formation in an era where no such information was available. Hydraulic tests were also conducted on the lower part of the Dewey Lake Redbeds in H-14. A suite of geophysical logs was run on the drillholes and was used to identify different lithologies and aided in the interpretation of the hydraulic tests. 3 refs., 4 figs., 6 tabs.
