Information Specialist(s): PARTNER

Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Diver-assisted installation of seepage meters and minipiezometers.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Public Landing, Ashumet Pond, Falmouth, MA

End Port/Location: Public Landing, Ashumet Pond, Falmouth, MA

Start Date: 2004-08-03

End Date: 2004-08-09

Information to be Derived: Samples and chemical analysis;

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: USGS divers assisted with the installation and processing of subsurface seepage meters, Henry drive point mini-piezometers, and drive point piezometers well processing. Water samples were collected in all cases for the analysis of relative concentrations of phosphorous. The water samples were analyzed by WRD scientists on-site using photometer instrumentation.
