HYDROGEOLOGIC EVALUATION OF THE HANNA COAL GASIFICATION SITE

License(s):

Other (Open)

During the spring of 1980, a field program was begun to evaluate the hydrogeology of the LETC underground coal gasification site near Hanna, Wyoming. Four holes were cored and twenty-two new hydrology wells were drilled in the Hanna No. 1 coal seam and in the overlying strata. A comprehensive set of geophysical logs were run. The Hanna No. 1 coal seam and two separate strata in the overburden were identified as water bearing. A series of slug tests and injection tests were run to determine hydrologic characteristics of the aquifers. Values of transmissivity for the Hanna no. 1 coal aquifer were found to range from 0.14 gpd/ft to 27.5 gpd/ft with an average of 7.44 gpd/ft. Submersible pumps were installed in thirty one wells. A water sampling program was initiated to establish apparent baseline water quality and to determine the water quality at existing burn sites. Water levels are measured quarterly and potentiometric maps prepared to determine groundwater flow and burn site water levels recovery. An average groundwater velocity of 11.9 ft/yr was found for the Hanna no. 1 coal seam. The results of the field program to date in addition to some previously collected data are presented.
