2.6 HT'DROLOGY
2.5.1 Ground Water ltydrology
2.6.1.1 Regional Occurrence and Dist.ribution of Ground l{ater
The occurrence and distributioa of ground trater in the region
encouPassing the Blanding area are influenced by the type and extent of
rock fornations and the structural features naking up the Canyon Lands
Section of the Colorado Plateau Physiographic Province .(see-section
2.4).
rn general, the rock formatione of the region are flat-).ying with
dips of one to three degrees. the rock fomatiooe are incised by strea1s
that have forned canyons betveen intervening areas of broad Eesae and
buttes. Aa intricate systeu of deep canyons along and across hog-backs
and cuestas has resulted fron faulting, uprrarps and dislocetiou of
rocks around the intrusive rock masses.such as Abajo Uountains, approxi-
Dstely 25 rniles to the nortb of the project site. raus, the region
is divided into numerous hydrological areas controlled by structural
features euch as the san Rafael Swe11, the Monument upwarp, and the
Abajo, Eenry and La Sal lIouotains as lrell as the faulted anticlines in
Salt, Spanish aad Lisbon Valleys.

WaEer-bearing sedinentary rock formations of Cambrian and Devonian
through Cretaeeous age are exposed in the region or ha're been idencified
in oil we1ls in the Blanding basin. Data on bedrock aquifers for nost of
the region are sparce and that information available is largely restric-
ted to wells located in only one or t\ro areas that are not near the
project site.
Bedrock Aquifers
Oa a regional basis, the fornations that are recognized as bedrock
aguifers are: the Cretaceous-age Dakota sandstone and the upper parl of
the Morrison fornution of tate Jurassic age; the Bluff sandstone, the
Entrada sandstone and the Navajo sandstone of Jurassic age; the l{ingaEe
sandstone and the Shinarump member of, the Chinle fornation of Triessic
age; and the DeChelle menber of the Cutler fomration of Perraian age.
These uniEs are shown in Plate 2.6-L, a generalized section of strati-
graphic uniEs including water-bearing units in southeasEern Utah.
Other fornations within this sequence aLso contain vaEer buE its
quality varies from slightly saline to very saline. Underneath the
Pernian Cutler formation are saline water-bearing units within the Rico
fomation and the Hernosa forroration of Pennsylvanian age frou which oii
is produced in the Blanding basin.
There are no available reports with quantitaiive data regarding
transmissivity, storage and other aquifer characteristics of najor
bedrock aquifers in this region of southeastern Utah. Some data on the
reported yields of wel1s are contained in older geologic reports (Goode,
1958; Feltis, L966; and Lofgren, f954). For instance, according to
Feltis (1966) the range in yield for six wells drilled into the Dakoca
sandstone and Burro Canyon formation east of llonticello varies fron 22 to
L25 gallons per minute (gpm). Tlro rrells drilled iato the Morrison
fomation in the eane area yield 15 to 22 gpo whereae, in other areas of
San Juan CounEy, Utah, the yield from welLs drilled into the llorrison is
I or 2 gpn or 1ess.

Likewise, the Bluff sandstone, found only in southern San Juan
County, has reportedly yielded 13 and 25 gpn in two we1ls drilled
near BIuff (feltis, L9662 27). The Entrada sandstone is reported to
yield an average of 143 gpn at five we1ls drilled in San Juan County, but
yields as high as 1200 gpo have been reported in other areas of southeast
Utah (Feltis, 19562 27).
Ttre Navajo eandstone is oae of the most permeabte bedrock aquifers
in the region,ritt reported yields as high as 1335 gpm (l'eltis, 1966:
26), although nany wellg drilled into the Navajo in southeast Utah only
have yields varying between 35 to 72 gpm. Ttre Energy Fuels ni1l site
well drilled into the Navajo sandstone is reported to have yielded 120
gpa after 1.5 hours of ptroping shortly after iE was drilled.
Throughout the region, smatl quantities of water are produced from
shalloh, wells constructed in the a1 luvir.rm that occurs in streao valleys
and a veneer on the flat-top El€8!18. These wells are subject to greaE
seasonal variation in yield and the uater rithdrawn is generally of
poor qual.ity, perhaps due Eo the leaching of eulfate salts in the
Mancos shale which is preseat et or near the eurface near stream valleys
over much of the region.
Recharge
The source of recharge to bedrock aquifers of the region is pre-
cipitation. Precipitation in southeastern Utah (see Sections 2.7.L and
2.7.2) is characterized by wide variations in seasonal and annual rain-
fall and by long periods of deficient rainfall. Short-duration eurrmer
storns furnish rain in snall arpas of a fes. square uriles and Lhis is
frequently the total rainfall for an entire rnonth within a given area.
Ihe average annual precipitation in the region ranges frou tese than 20
cu (8 in) at Bluff to Bore than 41 crl (15 in) on the eastern flank of the
Abajo Mountains, as recorded at Monticello. Precipitation at the project
site is discussed in Section 2.7.1. Ihe mountain peaks in the Henry, La
Sal and Abajo Mountains may receive trore than 76 cm (30 in) of
2-1 19
precipitation but these areas are very small in couparison to the vast
area of much lower precipitation in the ragioo.
Recharge to bedrock aquifers in the region occurs by direct infil-
tration of precipitation into the aquifers along the flanks of the Abajo,
Henry and La Sal llountains and along the flanks of the folds, sueh as
Comb Ridge llonocline and the San Rafael Swell, where the perrneable
formationa ere exposed at the surface. Recharge also occurs on the wide
expanses of flat-lying beds that are exposed on the mesas between these
major stnrctural features. In these cases, sone precipitation is able to
percolate through the near-surface joints and fractures in the Uancos
Shale and Dakota sandstone, where it circulates according to the local
ground water regime.
2.6.L.2 Regional Utilization of Grouud I{ater
Rainfall throughout Eost of the region is inadeguate for growth of
crops so that irrigation is neceesary in most locations, except in a
snall area east and southeast of Monticello. Ground lrater is utilized
for irrigation, livestock, doaestic needs and more recently for uunicipal
water supplies.
Present Use
The area of greatest present developuent of ground water use in the
region is in the Blanding basin, an artesian basin east of Conb Riilge in
San Juan county (eee Plate 2.4-L io Section 2.4.1.I). Within the
Blanding basin in the areas of Honteztrna Creek valley and south and east
of Blanding, there are E nuuber of deep wells which derive good quality
rrater from the deep bedrock aquiferal i.e., the Entrada, Navajo and
lrlingate Sandstoaes. Ttreee rraters are used for irrigation and doroestic
needs of residents in the EE€8. Ttre estirnated total aoount of ground
nater withdrawal of all these deep bedrock wells in the regioa is
unknown but considered very small compared to the total emount of water
available in the aguifers.
(
2-L20
Within the last year (L977), a few deep- wells for nunicipal water
supplies have been drilled into the Entrada and Navajo sandstones near
Blanding and Monticello, utah. The present usage of these wells is not
known. Blanding compteted one deep well (960-foot depEh) in 0ctober 1977
and anticipates drilling three Eror€o Monticello is currently (fal1,
L977) drilling a nelr 1000-foot deep well and anticipates drilling more as
the need occurs.
I{ater from shallow we11s, drilled principally into uoconsoli-
dated aluvirn overlying the bedrock in Eany areas of the region, has been
used from the earliest days of settlemenE to the present as a source of
douestic and stock water supplies. Some of ihese shallow wells, uostly
less than 150 feet deep, have been drilled inEo the saturated upper
Portion of the Dakota sandstone which directly underlies the l,Iancos shale

Proiected Use
The projected regional use of ground water for domestic purposes and
stock watering will probably increaee at the saoe rate as population
growth occurs in the rural areas outside of the three populatio:r cenEers
of Blanding, Monticello and Bluff, Utah. The ground water used for these

purposes rroutd like1y be derived frou near-surface sources such as
aIluviun, the Dakota sandstone, the Burro Canyon forrnation and the
Morrison formation. Increases in use of ground water for irrigation will
depend on the availability of land for raising of crop6 and an increase
in ti1labIe acE€ag€o Eowever, no aignificant change is anticipated.
Ground rrater use for municipal water supplies for Blanding, Uonti-
cel1o and Bluff will increase at e rate conmensurate with the increase in
population (see Section 2,?). Ttre cmmunities do anticipate drilling
additional rells for water supplies to accmmodate growth.
2.6.1.3 Ground t{ater Regime of Project Site
The project site, located on a flat-toP rnesa approxioately two
niles wide, is partly covered with a thin veneer of alluviun which ia
sone places is uaderlain by the Mancoe shale and in other locations by
the Dakota Sandstone/Burro Canyou foroations. The llancoe shale containe
water soluble -salte and geuerally water circulating through it becmres
fairly highly mineralized. The Mancoa is not a fresh water aquifer.
Stratigraphically below the Mancos shale is the Dakota sandstone, the
Burro Canyon formation and the l,lorrieon forroation which yield fresh to
slightly saline treter to nuEerous springs and shallow wells in the
project vicinity. Both the Dakota sandstone and the Burro Cauyon forma-
tion crop out in the cenyon walla and valleys of !{e6ttater Creek,
CotEoff ood Creek aad Corrat Creek neer the site. ftre foruations are
continuous beneath the site, extending frm the outcrops in Corral Creek
Canyon east of the site to the Canyon of CotEonwood Creek and Westnater
Creek rrest of the site.
The subsurface foroations below the project site are represented by
the typical stratigraphic rock section as discussed in Section 2.4 and
illustrated in Plate 2.5-L. The knowa fresh water-bearing unite beloh,
the Dakota sandstone, Burro Canyoo and Uorrieon fotmations at the site
are mainly the Entrada sandstone and the Navajo sandstone as shovn on
PlaEe 2.6-L and discussed in Section 2.6.1.1. There are no quantitative

Wh'ite Mesa Mi I 1Attn: John S. HamrickSite Environmental CoordinatorP. 0. Box 669
B1 andi ng, Utah 8451 I
Dear Mr. Hamrick:
. Per your request, on Friday, December 6, lg9l, I made a v'isjt to thewh'ite Mesa Mill at Blanding, utah. The purpose was to ascertajn areasonabl.e. geolog'ic scenario to explain -the empirical'ly observedrelationsh'ip.between fluids impounded in the F1y'Ash pond-and fluidsmeasured by the Leak Detectjon system of Cell #[. In'tracking fluidmigration, it 'is_ always a valid consideration to assume some io'le byfractures and fault traces to provide a conduit as you have hinted at j;our d'iscussi ons. _However, thi s concept i s overwo-rked and j s commonlyjlr.o-fS{ prematurely as the mechanicil I jnk. The following letteihigh.lights my observatjons on the observed flow of flujds from th6 Fly Ashpond to the detect'ion system and to comment on the most reasonablegeologic. method of transport and the possible role of faults or fractures.This addresses only the fluid migration and not the chemical composjtjonof the fluids measured. Attached is an evaluatjon performed by itaff oi
!nq geochem'istry of the 'l iquids in the Fly Ash bond, cell z,s LeakDetection system, and cell 2's Slimes Drain syst'em (iiquid above theliner).
SITE EXAI'IINATION
The on-site examination included a look at the pit wails and floor of!h. F1y Ash pond and the sandstone exposed there;'a fjeld revjew of the
laygut of the Cell #2 and the locatjon of the leak detectjon system; afield revjew of three sandstone outcrops at some distance from the ftV ifsnpond. These three outcrops were al1'smal1, less than ten feet bi tenfeet,- and approxima.tely l/z nile to the east, l/z mile to the northwest,and !/2 mile to the south. One shale repository, l/z mile to th6southeast-(Pond #4 excavation material)'was alio eiamined to heipcorrelate l'ithologies of the units that could be involved in the flu.iimigration and was conducted jn the accompaniment of lvtr. John Hamrick.
The three sandstone outcrops appear to be the same sandstone un'it andpart of the Dakota Formati on. 'The sandstone j s coarse-grai ned,sub-angular and well sorted when viewed wjth a hand lens. The sailples aljare I ight colored with a predomjnance of hemat'ite sta'ined matrjx ind show
kovschak, F1y Ash pond page I
a f ew sparse gra'ins of heavy mi neral s whi ch are una'ltered. Thesecomprisea very small percentage of the overall sandstone. The samplesfrom the bottom of the FIy Ash pond, however, seem to have more limoniticalteration than hematitjc which would'indicate a slight'ly more oxidizingenvironment. This observation is not conclusive based on the limitedoutcrops but is compatible with sandstone that have been underwater'i ntermi ttentl y.
_ Surface exposures do not appear to display any unusual amount offracturing or the development of a strong regional joint set. Thesandstones of the Dakota Formation are noteworthy cliff-formers in thecanyons around the Blanding area and would appear to be competentsandstones.
. Standing on the edge of the F1y Ash pond, jt is possible to see boththe sandstone jn the pit bottom and the column at the'Leak Detection siteat the edge of cell #2. The bearing 1in'ing up both sjtes is s47w. Theregionai _d'ip 9f the sandstone is Sl,l and, therefore, from the F1y Ash pondygu a19 -'looking down the d'ip slope to the detection site. ThL orjginaiedge of Cell #2 was withjn 100 feet of the F1y Ash pond boundary anO'isalso bisected by the S47W bearing.
CELL #2 CONSTRUCTION
Cell #2 was constructed with a minimum of one foot of well-sorted,graded material underneath the cell liner for protect'ion of the linerproper. Therefore, this permeab'le layer now exists from withjn 100 feetof the bottom of the F'ly Ash pond and'is continuous to the Leak Detectionsystem on the far and geologjcally downdip side of Cell #2. It seems
p1 aus-i bl e from a geol ogi c standpoi nt that the fl uids 'impounded i n the F'lyAsh Pond, and at the t9R of the Dakota sandstone, wouid migrate downdip100 feet to the permeable 'layer underneath the orig'inal CelI tZ and fjndtheir way to the detect'ion system.
CONCLUS IONS:
A rather simple and yet very plausible explanation for the migrationof the flu'ids is presented here; namely, that the flujds in the F1y Ash
lgnd are jmpounded on the top of a very coarse-grained sandstone whichdips to the Sl.l and intersects the permeable layer under the bottom of Cell#2 and is therefore "channeled" under the celI and detected'in the Ieaksystem as it should be. I recommend that backfil)ing of the Fly Ash pond
be continued as previously approved by the US NRC. -

ITATER QUALITY Ai{ALYSTS
Graphica'l techniques such as the trilinear plot (Hil1, 1940), or the St'iff
diagram (Stiff, 1951) are very useful in "fingerprinting" m'igrating seepage and
differentiating such seepage from different sources or from amb'ient
groundwater. The trjfinear plot (Hill, 1940) is a graphical technique in whjch
the percentage composition of the major anions and cations in a water sample
are plotted onto triangular plotting fields. The resultant plotting positions
are then projected into a central plotting diamond, defining the sampie's
compositjon. The plot is so designed that mixtures of water are shown by
progression along a straight line connecting the plotted points of both watersjn the central plotting diamond. Thus, the trilinear plot is extremely useful
in determining the percentage mjxtures, based on the major ion compositional
profile of the two-end point solutions.
The Stjff diagram is a "s'ignature" formed by plotting the relat'ive
percentage of major cations to the left of a central axjs and the an'ions to the
right of the central axjs and connecting the p'lotted points. In the computer
mapping program utilized, the cations are plotted in the order of sodjum plus
potassium, calcium, and magnesium to the left of the central ax'is. The anjons
are plotted jn the order of chloride, carbonate plus bicarbonate, and sulfate
to the right of the central axjs. Such a graphical signature 'is useful 'in
making visual companisons of varjous water chemistries.
Table 2 shows the data used to generate the figures. The column labeled
"Previous Sample" under the "F1y Ash Pond" heading was not preserved, so that
organic content could be determjned. It is included only as a check on the
variabiljty of the measured water qua'lity in the fly ash pond. "Cell 2 LDS
Blind Dup'licate" and "Blank" are included for quality control purposes.
The attached Fjgures I and 2 show
the Cell 2 leak detection system, upper
drain. Figure 2 presents the same data
Figure 3 presents the data in the form
the Stiff diagrams for fluids taken from
and lower fly ash ponds and the sljmes
as Fjgure l, but on a larger scale.
