Ground-Water Levels and Water-Quality Data for Wells in the Spring Creek Area Near Arnold Air Force Base, Tennessee, April and May 2000
Abstract
Arnold Air Force Base (AAFB) occupies about 40,000 acres in Coffee and Franklin Counties, Tennessee. Numerous site-specific groundwater contamination investigations have been conducted at designated solid waste management units (SWMU's) at AAFB. Several synthetic volatile organic compounds (VOC's), primarily chlorinated solvents, have been identified in groundwater samples collected from monitoring wells near SWMU 8 in the Spring Creek area. During April and May 2000, a study of the ground-water resources in the Spring Creek area was conducted to determine if VOC's from AAFB have affected local private water supplies and to advance understanding of the groundwater- flow system in this area. The study focused on sampling private wells located within the Spring Creek area that are used as a source of drinking water. Ground-water-flow directions were determined by measuring water levels in wells and constructing a potentiometric-surface map of the Manchester aquifer in the study area. Data were collected from a total of 35 private wells and 22 monitoring wells during the period of study.
