Core Drilling and Analysis
Title
Core Drilling and Analysis: City of Sarasota, Downtown Well Field.
Creator
Campbell, Kenneth M. (Kenneth Mark), Scott, Thomas M., Green, Richard C.
Abstract/Description
The Florida Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey and the city of Sarasota, drilled and analyzed a deep core hole located at the Sarasota Downtown Well Field. The investigation focused on the Neogene and Paleogene lithostratigraphy and the Floridan aquifer system. A lithologic description for the core was genereated utilizing a binocular microscope.

Abstract/Description
In June 1988, the Florida Geological Survey and the South Florida Water Management District entered into a contract to conduct a joint project in Lee, Hendry and Collier counties. The objectives of this project were to increase the geologic/hydrogeologic well data available in these counties, to translate existing lithologic descriptions of wells within the district to computer format and to add this data to the District computer data base.

The objectives of this project were to increase the geologic/hydrogeologic well data available in these counties, to translate existing lithologic descriptions of wells within the district to computer format and to add this data to the District computer data base. These objectives were met by the translation of over 180 existing well logs to computer format, by drilling and evaluating the data for six cores, and merging all of this data with the existing FGS and District computer data bases.

Title
Data on Ground-Water Quality with Emphasis on Radionuclides, Sarasota County, Florida.
Creator
Sutcliffe, Horace., Miller, R. L. (Robert Lind)
Abstract/Description
The radiochemical data presented in this report were acquired by selective sampling and logging of existing wells and new wells as they were drilled between January 1976 and April 1979. Wells selected for radiochemical sampling were those open to specific water-bearing zones or those which were sampled at specific depths as they were drilled. These samples were analyzed for radium-226 and occasionally for radium-228, and for major ions. Borehole geophysical logging techniques that were used...

Abstract/Description
During the time that the desalination plant has been in operation, questions have been raised by water-management agencies concerning the ability of the deep artesian aquifers underlying Sanibel and Captiva Islands to continue supplying the water needed to meet the increasing demand with a salinity low enough for the desalination plant to operate effectively.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the water-supply potential of the deeper aquifers. During the 24-month investigation (October 1975-1977) an important objective was to locate and inventory all existing wells that tapped the deep artesian aquifers. Except for a few, all known wells were found. Water levels and water samples were obtained at the wells. No test wells were drilled as part of this investigation, although one observation well was drilled on Sanibel Island as part of a countywide monitoring network.

Title
Demonstration of Large-Scale Reintroduction of the Southern Bay Scallop to Tampa Bay, Florida: final report, January 17, 1996.
Creator
Blake, Norman J., Tampa Bay National Estuary Program, University of South Florida
Abstract/Description
The southern bay scallop, Argopecten irradians concentricus, is one of the only non-finfish species to support a large, although rapidly declining, recreational interest in the state of Florida. Bay scallops, which require good water quality, had all but disappeared from Tampa Bay by 1963. Recent studies have indicated that sections of Tampa Bay may once again be capable of supporting viable bay scallop populations. These scallops were seeded to several areas of the bay and also placed at...

Bay scallops, which require good water quality, had all but disappeared from Tampa Bay by 1963. Recent studies have indicated that sections of Tampa Bay may once again be capable of supporting viable bay scallop populations. These scallops were seeded to several areas of the bay and also placed at various locations in the bay in cages. The purpose of this project was to attempt to increase the population of the southern bay scallop in Tampa Bay by providing spawning stocks to various locations throughout the eastern portion of the bay.

Show moreThis report describes results of a study of the hydrology of the Reedy Creek Improvement District tree farm area where treated wastewater is used for irrigation. Included in this report are descriptions of: direction of movement and destination of the wastewater and constituents in the surficial aquifer system underlying the tree farm area; rate of movement of the wastewater front; effect of the wastewater application on water quality of the underlying aquifer and the areal extent of the wastewater plume in the surficial aquifer system; the nature of the processes affecting assimilation of the wastewater-related constituents in the ground-water system; and hydraulic characteristics of the surficial aquifer system. The area studied includes the entire tree farm area located to the north of Canal L-410. This investigation was conducted from October 1981 through September 1985. The work included installation of a monitoring well network in the surficial aquifer system, determination of lithology of the aquifer material, determination of transmissivity of the surfical aquifer system and sampling of the well network to characterize water quality of the surficial aquifer system underlying the tree farm and the surrounding area. The water-quality sampling was done four times between May 1983 and October 1984.
