Noble May, 1991 FEASIBILITY OF A MAJOR GROUND WATER SUPPLY WEST OF YELM May, 1991 Introduction and Summary I was requested by Dennis T. Su of Land Use & Devel- opment Consultation, a division of Kramer, Chin & Mayo, to contribute hydrogeological information to the enviromental checklist concerning a proposed annexation to the City of Yelm. The area considered for annexation is approximately three square miles west of Yelm. The study I performed consisted of a review and assessment of existing well and geologic data and a field reconnaissance around the proposed annexation area. It is my opinion that major new water supplies can be developed, but the area has limited valid information from actual wells. On the Yelm prairie there is a shallow aquifer with proven potential but subject to surface con- tamination. Areas to the west have a likely potential for ground water but exploration drilling is required for verification. Records of Wells There are scores of individual well records within two miles west and south of Yelm. The records are from two sources. The older source is published in State Water Supply Bulletin 10, Volume 1 (1961). The later source is from the Dept. of Ecology well log files of Water Well Reports filed by drillers. Of the records reviewed nearly all reference 6-inch wells drilled for domestic use. These wells are only minimally completed, developed and tested. They generally serve the needs of their owners but their data is not reliable to interpret if large water -1- supplies could be present. The records show 19 wells where major production has been proven or is probable. None of these 19 is in the western annexation segment of Section 26, 27, or 28. The 19 wells with the most meaningful information are listed on Table 1. Locations are on Figure I. None was field checked and, in the case of DOE records, the loca- tions are subject to reporting errors by the drillers. The nomenclature of the Table 1 columns are as here noted. Local t The section number in T17N/RIE (except for the final well) followed by the letter designator for the 1/16th section as used by USGS. Thus, 24P is in Section 24, subsec- tion "P" which is the SE 1/4 of SW 1/4. Owner Name on the report Dimensions Diameter of well in inches and depths in feet. Open interval Perforated or screened interval in feet below top of well. A single depth reported implies an open bottom well not otherwise screened or perforated. SWL Static water level, feet below top of well. Q/s Discharge in gpm (Q) and drawdown in feet ( s ) . Method Pumped or bailed to determine Q/s. (Bail- ing is subject to major inaccuracy). -2- PY Potential Yield. This is a theoretical yield in gpm determined by factoring 2/3 of the distance between SWL and top of the well's open interval with the well's Q/s. As an example, Well 24Ll was pumped at 360 gpm with 5 feet drawdown (Q/s = 360/5 = 72). The SWL is 14 feet and the top of the perfo- rations are at 22 feet. Total drawdown dis- tance is 22 - 14 = 8; 2/3 x 8 = 5.33. 72 x 5.33 = 384 gpm. The PY provides a degree of comparison between wells but does not mean that the particular well of record is actu- ally capable of pumping that quantity. Regime OWP = Outwash plain of the Yelm Prairie. TMU = Till and morainal upland. See below for further regime discussion. Source DOE = State well record.

These are here designated as (1) outwash plain of the Yelm prairie (OWP) and (2) till and morainal upland (TMU). Wells of the OWP are typically shallow. They tap the youngest, Vashon, glacial deposits. The Yelm City wells and the Nisqually Golf Course well are examples of the best. Some wells (as Simmons, 24Ll) have been drilled deeper than the main aquifer but have been opened up to the shallow zone, possibly because deeper zones were not productive. Water levels are shallow and potential yield can be very high. An abundant natural recharge contrib- utes to the OWP from direct rainfall and from throughflow from the west. The aquifer has only minimal surface protection from potential contamination. Gene Borges, Yelm's public works director, informed me that nitrate content, an indicator of surface contamination, has risen from 2.8 mgll in win- ter 1979 to 5.2 mgll in winter, 1989. (The State limit for nitrate is 10 mg/l.) The increase could result from an increased population in the unsewered Yelm urban area. Dairy cows also generate major amounts of nitrate that can reach the ground water. The till/morainal upland rises above the Yelm prairie on the south and west. The majority of the potential annexation is in this regime. The morainal portion is identified by the complex, hummocky topography typified in Section 27. This "kame-kettle complex results from gla- cial deposition around stagnent ice with consequent slump- -4- ing of the deposits as the ice melted. The residual kettles are closed depressions that are generally dry, implying that rainfall recharge readily permeates the surface and does not run off as overland streams. Wells that are drilled in the TMU show potential yields up to 400 gpm. Depths are variable with the deep- est of record (34L2) be~ng 285 feet deep. Static water level elevations are believed to be fairly consistent at an elevation range of 350 to 400 feet. (Water level ele- vation at Yelm is about 340 feet). There appears to have been no planned or consistent effort to complete major wells in the TMU. From the lim- ited available data it appears that achieving 500 gpm or more from single wells in that regime should be feasible. Such a well would be carefully designed and developed to maximize production from the most promising zones. Depths to at least 400 feet should be considered. Opinions & Conclusions The Yelm area has a major ground water resource. The major wells proven to date are limited to the shallow, Vashon age outwash gravels of the Yelm Prairie. This resource should not be discounted but it is vulnerable to contamination. Elevated nitrate concentration documents some degree of contamination. The proposed annexation area is west of Yelm. Much of that area has no meaningful well records. However, the geology and topography is such that the area receives virtually all local recharge and rejects very little as -5- surface runoff. It is this area, particularly in Section 27, that a source of uncontaminated ground water is likely to be found. At best, a successful source found in that area would not only serve the new addition, it could sup- plement or replace the original City supply. Assuming that water levels are at elevation 375, any exploration well should be targeted for a bottom depth at elevation 75 to achieve considerable penetration of poten- tial aquifers. Shallower completion would be done if a major aquifer was encountered above target depth. A single "dry" well should not cancel an exploration project -- at least three wells should be considered across a selected area. The morainal area is strewn with boulders at surface. Boulders would be anticipated at depth. For this reason exploration holes may best be done with air rotary methods which can drill through boulders better than other methods.

The exploration area is on the morainal upland west ofYelm, and was concentrated in Section 27, T 17 N, R 1 E. The completed THA project would serve a large number of homes and irrigate two golf courses. The water would ultimately be served by the City of Yelm from wells on THA property. The initial test drilling at the Thurston Highlands is completed. Three 8-inch test wells were drilled to depths of 250 to 289 feet. Each well was tested by perforating the casing, surge development and pumping. The West Test Well is the only site that shows promise and although it was only pumped at 160 gpm, it has a potential yield of 500 to 1000 gpm. The water quality is good. The drilling and testing is further described in detail for each well. All wells penetrated a thin mantle of bouldery material deposited as a terminal moraine of the Vashon Glacier. This morainal deposit was considerably thinner than expected. Below the bouldery deposit was found a sequence of sands, silty sands, and gravelly sands that are attributed to the Vashon Advance Outwash, and are river sediments as opposed to the direct glacial waste of the moraine. These fmer grained sediments were essentially dry through their entire thickness. Yet deeper was found a more complex assortment of alternately "clean" and "dirty" sands and gravels. These are relatively ancient, pre-Vashon deposits, and constitute the shallow aquifer that was tested. The aquifer found in these tests is not the same system that serves the Yelm city wells. That Robinson & Noble, Inc. Page 2 system is near surface and consists of Vashon Recessional Outwash. Deeper wells in the Yelm area may tap deposits of the same genesis as at the THA wells. These older deposits at Yelm are not known to yield very large amounts of water to wells. The tests did show a completely unexpected set of water levels. A very well documented study of the Yelm area (Mundorff) shows water levels trending northerly across Yelm Prairie to the Nisqually River. The water table falls from elevation 350 feet to 300 feet along a two-mile transect with Yelm at the center. The THA wells, 2.5 miles west of Yelm, were expected to have water levels at elevations around 400 feet and a gradient toward Yelm Prairie. Instead, the water levels range from elevation 293 feet to 220 feet, with a gradient toward the northwest, away from the nearby Nisqually River and generally toward McAllister Springs which serves Olympia. This situation describes an aquifer system that is distinctly different from Yelm's. Somewhere, between the THA wells and the Yelm wells, there is a major ground water divide. The unexpected deep water levels at THA also imply the presence of a very prolific aquifer that serves as a highly transmissive buried drainage. Further work is needed to test this hypothesis, and the West Test Well location is the recommended starting area. INDIVIDUAL TEST WELLS North Test Well The North Test Well (NTW) location is shown on Figure 1. The elevation at this site is 438 feet. On November 11, 1994, the air rotary drill crew from Holt Drilling of Puyallup were directed to this site. Drilling began in loose bouldery gravel that alternated with sequences of fine brown sand. At 186 feet a gray silty clay and gravel unit was present that was water bearing. The rotary drill uses compressed air to clear cuttings and will produce water when a prolific aquifer is encountered. At this well there was never more than 20 gpm produced during Robinson & Noble, Inc. Page 3 the drilling. Drilling stopped at 240 feet with no improvement in water production and an increase in silt matrix. On November 28, 1994 a cable-tool drilling machine from Holt Drilling arrived on the site and continued drilling to 251 feet. The formation samples obtained from this drilling technique are more representative of actual subsurface conditions. There was no improvement in the water bearing qualities of the formations penetrated at this depth and the crew was instructed to perforate the casing from 195 to 220 feet. This was accomplished using a Mills knife perforator. The geologic log and construction details are shown on Figure 2A. All of the wells were subjected to a gamma ray survey. This device responds to natural gamma ray emissions that commonly are higher in clays and lower emissions are associated with clean, water-bearing gravel. The survey results are shown on Figure 2B. After the casing was perforated, surge tools were run to develop out fine materials prior to pump testing. A short bailer test was then done at 40 gpm with 10 feet of drawdown from the static level of 184.2 feet. This indicated a possible pumping rate of 100 gpm. On December 5, 1994 a pump was installed for testing. The pump was operated at rates up to 40 gpm to clear the water of turbidity and some sand. A short test was done at 43 gpm and after 60 minutes the rate had to be reduced to 27 gpm to maintain water over the pump inlet. After the pump was stopped, the water level recovered to within one foot of the static level after one hour. The test results are depicted graphically on Figures 3 and 4. During the testing, the water did not become clear and the temperature was 52 degrees. A sample was filtered and an analysis was done in our laboratory with the following results: Specific Conductivity Turbidity (f1ltered) pH Total Hardness 145 umhos/cm 1.5NTU 7.2 45 mg/l Robinson & Noble, Inc. Page 4 Bicarbonate Alkalinity Chloride Iron Manganese Nitrate 60 mg!l < 5 mg!l < 1 mg!l 0.2 mg!l 0.01 mg!l The water has elevated concentrations of manganese that may be less after the turbidity becomes lower than 1 NTU. The maximum concentration limit for manganese is 0.05 mg!I. The turbidity would probably clear after extended pumping at a low rate of 20 to 30 gpm. West Test Well On November 17, 1994 the rotary crew began drilling at the West Test Well (W1W) site. The elevation of this site is 411 feet and the location is depicted on Figure 1. The formations penetrated were similar to those at the NTW, consisting of mostly dry gravel with minor sand layers. Below 228 feet considerable water was encountered and the drill discharge was producing an estimated 200 gpm. At 289 feet a large boulder bent the drive shoe and drilling was stopped. The gamma ray survey was accomplished and the rotary crew moved off the site to the South Test Well. On December 2, 1994 the cable-tool crew set up on the site and began to perforate the casing from 230 to 245 feet and 265 to 285 feet. After the casing was perforated, surge tools were run to develop the well for testing. Approximately eight hours were spent on surging and bailing in the perforated areas. A bailer test was accomplished at 35 gpm and no measurable drawdown was observed. Figure 2B is the geologic log and construction details. On December 14, 1994 a pump was installed for testing. The pump was operated at various rates from 71 to 159 gpm with some sand and turbidity that quickly cleared. The next day a four-hour pump test at 159 gpm was accomplished. At the end of the test the pumping water Robinson & Noble, Inc. Page S level was 14.3 feet below the static water level of 193.6 feet. The specific capacity (discharge divided by drawdown) was 11 gpm per foot of drawdown. At the lower rate of 71 gpm the specific capacity was 16 gpm ft/dd. At the end of the four-hour test the pump was stopped and the water level was observed to recover to within 1 foot of the prior static water level in a few minutes. The drawdown and recovery is depicted graphically on Figures 5 and 6. During the testing, the water slowly cleared of turbidity that was perhaps caused by peat in the formations. The water temperature was 50 degree F. A sample was analyzed in our laboratory with the following results-: Specific Conductivity Turbidity (filtered) pH Total Hardness Bicarbonate Alkalinity Chloride Iron Manganese Nitrate 163 umhos!cm 2NTU 7.4 65 mg!l 60 mgll <2.5 mg!l <0.1 mg!l 0.1 mg!l 1 mg!l The water has a slight elevation of manganese that may become lower when the turbidity drops below 1 NTU. The nitrate level is also slightly elevated, being above the commonly expected background of less than 0.2 mg!I. The limit for drinking water standards for nitrate is 10 mg!I. A full inorganic analysis was done by the WML lab in Tacoma. That report is attached. South Test Well The South Test Well (STW) location is shown on Figure 1. The elevation of this site is 455 Robinson & Noble, Inc. Page 6 feet. On November 23, the rotary crew began drilling in large boulders. The formations penetrated were similar to the other wells, but with a significant thickness of sand from 40 to 132 feet. Below 194 feet a water bearing gravel was present that produced moderate amounts of water during drilling. The water was less than that what was produced during the drilling of the wrw. Drilling was stopped at 259 feet in a gravelly formation with brown silt, as shown on Figure 2C. On November 29, 1994 the cable-tool machine was set up on the site and the casing was perforated from 195 to 237 feet and 247 to 254 feet. Surge tools were run throughout the perforated areas and a small amount of sand and finer material was developed into the casing. A bailer test was done at 40 gpm with 3.5 feet of drawdown. This indicated that the performance of this well would probably be closer to the NTW than the wrw. A pump was installed for testing and on December 13, 1994 a one-hour test was done at 71 gpm with 28 feet of drawdown from the static water level of 165 feet. After the pump was stopped, the water level recovered to 170 feet after 33 minutes. The drawdown and recovery is depicted graphically on Figures 7 and 8. During the testing, the water was turbid with peat from the formation. The temperature was 49 degrees F. A sample was taken and an analysis was done in our laboratory with the following results.

Robinson & Noble, Inc. Page 8 Q = 1,500,000 gpd = 1000 gpm These estimates can be improved or refined only with further drilling and testing. RECOMMENDATIONS Drilling of West Well showed sufficient conditions to warrant a large-diameter well to be used as a permanent well and to advance the hydrologic knowledge. The well should be 16-inch to 20-inch diameter with a target depth beyond 300 feet. (Drilling below 289 feet was not possible at wrw because of a collapsed shoe). The large diameter well should be drilled by cable tool method which allows better sample identification than the rotary method. The well would be screened developed and test pumped while using the nearby West Test Well as an observation point. Respectfully submitted, ROBINSON & NOBLE, INC. John B.
