Hydrogeology of the Franklin County Landfill Site, Cache Valley, Idaho. Technical completion report Item Info
![The Franklin County, Idaho landfill is located on deltaic sediments deposited where the Bear River emptied into Pleistocene Lake Bonneville and its predecessors over the last few hundred thousand years. The sediments of the delta consist of fine-grained, lithic-rich sands, silts, and clays deposited in distributary channel and mouth bar, wave-influenced shoreface, delta front and pro delta bottom water settings. [...] The rate and distribution of groundwater flow vertically and horizontally through the deltaic sediments has yet to be quantitatively examined. The proposed deliverable for this grant included: a) Description of geologic and hydrogeologic properties of the Quaternary Bonneville Formation, b) Description of the geologic, hydrogeologic and geochemical properties of the local bedrock aquifer, the Miocene Cache Valley formation, and c) A several-day aquifer test, including a 48 hour pump test, to determine standard aquifer properties. This report contains deliverable (a) and (b). The County and the contractor (MSE) have been unable to schedule the pump test we outlined in our initial grant request. The test is still planned but the date is beyond our control.](https://objects.lib.uidaho.edu/iwdl/small/iwdl-199608_sm.jpg)
