  2. Projec ect Obj Objec ectives • Install two water supply wells for prescribed burns • Drill 30 borings to characterize sub-surface hydrogeologic conditions • Install 14 monitoring wells with data loggers to ease burden on FWC staff and to provide more detailed groundwater elevation data • Survey 56 cross sections in flow-ways where LiDAR data is often inaccurate

  3. Water S Supply ly W Wells ells • Prior prescribed burns were managed with a water supply at FWC Babcock Webb field station east of I-75 (10 miles away) • North Well installed at Yucca Pens check station • South well installed at North Dead Hog Grade • Production rate > 85 gpm

  4. Well C Constructi tion

  5. Borings gs • Boring depths ranged from 30 to 100 feet • Depth to confining layer defined • Shallow semi-confining layers identified • Gravel/rock zones identified • Multiple confining layers found at initial location of southern production well • Alternative location ID’d for southern production well

  6. Mon onit itorin ing W Well ells • Monitoring wells located at manual staff gaging locations established in 2011 by USGS • Manual readings difficult due to high water conditions • Draining of groundwater indicated from 2018 well near Gator Slough • Purpose of southern wells is to define the drainage effect of Gator Slough • Southern locations have wells that are 6’ and 30’ deep
