2. SITE HYDROGEOLOGY The WlPP site is located in the northern part of the Delaware Basin in southeastern New Mexico. WIPPsite geologic investigations have concentrated on the upper seven formations typically found in that part of the Delaware Basin. These are, in ascending order, the Bell Canyon Formation, the Castile Formation, the Salado Formation, the Rustler Formation, the Dewey Lake Red Beds, the Dockum Group, and the Gatuna Formation (Figure 2-1). All of these formations are of Permian age, except for the Dockum Group, which is of Triassic age, and the Gatuna, which is a Quaternary deposit. Of these formations, the Bell Canyon and the Rustler contain the most-transmissive, regionally continuous saturated intervals.

Apart from isolated brine reservoirs sometimes found in fractured portions of the upper Castile anhydrites (Popielak et al., 1983), little is known about Castile hydrology because of the extremely low permeabilities of the unfractured anhydrite and halite units (Mercer, 1987). The Salado Formation is approximately 2000 ft thick at the WlPP site, and is composed largely of halite, with minor amounts of interspersed clay and polyhalite. The Salado also contains interbeds of anhydrite, polyhalite, clay, sylvite, and langbeinite. Jones et al. (1960) labeled several of the anhydrite and/or polyhalite interbeds that are traceable over most of the Delaware Basin "Marker Beds" and numbered them from 101 to 145, increasing downward. The WIPP facility horizon lies between Marker Beds 138 and 139. Because of the extremely low permeability of halite, few hydraulic tests have been attempted in the Salado, and little is known about Salado hydrology (Mercer, 1987). At the locations where the Rustler Formation was tested, its top lies from 231 (P-15) to 692 ft (H-15) below ground surface, and its bottom lies from 542 (P-15) to 1088 ft (P-18) deep. At these locations, the Rustler consists of five mappable members (in ascending order): the unnamed lower member, the Culebra Dolomite Member, the Tamarisk Member, the Magenta Dolomite Member, and the Forty-niner Member. The unnamed lower member is composed of a layered sequence of clayey siltstone, anhydrite, and halite (absent on the western side of the WlPP site) ranging from 95 (WIPP-30) to 150 ft (P-18) thick. The Culebra is a light olive-gray, fine-grained, vuggy, silty dolomite, 21 (WIPP-18) to 29 ft (P-18) thick. The Tamarisk Member is composed of two anhydrite and/or gypsum units with a silty-claystone interbed which contains halite along the southern and central portions of the eastern boundary of the WlPP site. The Tamarisk has a total thickness of 84 (WIPP-19, ERDA-9, DOE-I) to 179 ft (P-18). The Magenta Dolomite Member consists of a silty, gypsiferous, laminated dolomite, 22 (H-8b) to 27 ft (P-15) thick. The Forty-niner Member consists of two anhydritelgypsum units separated by a silty claystone interbed which contains halite east of the 19
