Hydrologic monitoring of a waste-injection well near Milton, Florida, June 1975 - December 1976

January 1, 1977

This report presents the hydraulic and chemical data collected from June 1, 1975 to December 31, 1976 through a monitoring program at a deep-well waste-injection system at the American Cyanamid Company's plant near Milton, Florida. The injection system consists of a primary injection well, a standby injection well, and two deep monitor wells all completed open hole in the lower limestone of the Floridan aquifer and one shallow-monitor well completed in the upper limestone of the Floridan aquifer. Two of the monitor wells and the standby injection well are used to observe hydraulic and geochemical effects of waste injection in the injection zone at locations 1,025 feet southwest, 1,560 feet south, and 1.55 miles northeast of the primary injection well. The shallow-monitor well, used to observe any effects in the first permeable zone above the 200-foot-thick confining bed, is 28 feet north of the primary injection well.
