| Abstract: | Surficial materials in the Seldovia area, Alaska, are mapped as glacial drift over sedimentary bedrock, glacial drift over igneous and metamorphic bedrock, valley-bottom, alluvium, alluvial fan deposits, beach and intertidal deposits, and peat. Unconsolidated materials are generally less than 10 feet thick except in well-drained glacial deposits along the Seldovia-Jakolof Bay Road and in depressions in the bedrock surface. These depressions are poorly drained and commonly contain peat bogs. Development of domestic wells (1-15 gallons per minute) may be possible from unconsolidated materials and sedimentary bedrock, but larger water requirements must be met from surface-water sources. In areas having the water table or top of bedrock at shallow depths, effluent from sewage disposal systems may cause pollution of the land surface and nearby surface water. Seepage from hillside aquifers and unstable land along the coast of Kachemak Bay may adversely affect roads and structures. (USGS) |
