Abstract

Ground-water data obtained from the MX-missile siting study in western Utah are presented in this report. The test drilling was divided into two phases, verification and water resources. In the verification phase, numerous borings ranging in depth from 92 to 205 feet were made to obtain data necessary for the design of the MX-basing system. Test wells drilled for the water resources phase ranged in depth from 310 to 1,399 feet; they were designed to determine ground-water availability and to estimate the effects of ground-water withdrawals planned for construction of the MX-basing system. This report includes: well-completion data, water-level measurements, and lithologic logs of selected wells. (USGS)
