Question
Transcribed Image Text:You are responsible for designing and pump-and-treat system to remediate a 55 kg
instantaneous spill into an unconfined aquifer. The sketch below shows the aquifer with two
observation wells, the spill location, and a river that you need to avoid contaminating. You are
beginning your response one month after the spill and you are confident that the pumping well
will be fully online in six months (i.e., seven months after the spill).

Direction of Groundwater Flow
Two slug tests were performed in 2" diameter
piezometers 4" diameter gravel packs around the 18" long
screen. Using the slug test data (Table 2) from these tests,
estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the unconfined
aquifer.
Observed static heads at wells 1 and 2 were 83.4
and 81.2 m, respectively. Determine the steady state flow
per unit width (Q') through the aquifer. Assuming an average
aquifer thickness of 80 m and an effective porosity of 0.24,
estimate the transport velocity from the spill site in the
direction of flow. How far will water moving at this velocity
flow in 7 months?
Given the initial spill of 55 kg, determine the
maximum concentration in the plume after 7 months, the
location of the leading edge of the plume, and the width of
the plume to be remediated. Assume Xu & Eckstein's scale-
dependent longitudinal dispersivity (i.e., dispersivity in the
direction of flow) and negligible molecular diffusion. Assume
that the lateral dispersivity is 1% of the longitudinal
dispersivity and that the vertical dispersivity is 0.1% of the
longitudinal dispersivity.
