HYDROGEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTSTRANGE STREET WATER SUPPLY CLASS EA UPDATEREGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF WATERLOOResults for Test WellMarch 19, 2012to 335.2 m AMSL (10.06 m BGS). The fine grained sediments foundwithin this range were interpreted to correspond to AFB1, the upperportion <strong>of</strong> Aquifer 1. Monitoring Well K-SS-OW1C-11 was screenedwithin AFB1, with the lower 60 cm being within AFB2 as ATB2 was notidentified here. AFB1 was differentiated from AFB2 based on grain sizeobservations, with AFB1 interpreted to being finer grained than AFB2.AFB2 (Aquifer 1):ATB2 (Aquifer 1):Deposits <strong>of</strong> stratified sand to gravel were noted extending from335.2 m AMSL (10.06 m BGS) to 316.6 m AMSL (28.68 m BGS).Significantly coarser gravel sections <strong>of</strong> 3.1 m and 1.7 m thick wereobserved from 332.9 m AMSL to 329.7 m AMSL and from 323.6 m AMSLto 321.9 m AMSL, respectively. These deposits <strong>of</strong> sand to gravel wereinterpreted to correspond to AFB2, the lower portion <strong>of</strong> Aquifer 1. ATB2represents the main supply aquifer for the Strange Street Well Field.Monitoring Well K-SS-OW1B-11 was screened within AFB2. TestWell K-SS-TW1-11 was screened within the lower gravel section withinAFB2.ATB2 (Aquifer 1), the middle Maryhill Till, bisects Aquifer 1 into two units(AFB1/AFB2) within some areas <strong>of</strong> the Strange Street Well Field. AFB2was not encountered during the advancement <strong>of</strong> K-SS-OW1A-11, despitebeing present (2.3 m thick) at Monitoring Well SS13-99 which is locatedless than 300 m east.ATB3 (Aquitard 2): Silty clay till comprising the lower Maryhill Till associated with ATB3(Aquitard 2) was encountered from 316.6 m AMSL (28.68 m BGS) to313.7 m AMSL (31.6 m BGS), about 2.9 m thick.ATC1 (Aquitard 3): Below 313.7 m AMSL (31.6 m BGS) sandy silt to sand till associated withupper/main Catfish Creek Till deposits was encountered to a depth <strong>of</strong>296.4 m AMSL (48.8 m BGS). These deposits correspond to ATC1(Aquitard 3), a main stratigraphic marker unit within the <strong>Waterloo</strong>Moraine.AFC1 (Aquifer 2):Clayey silt to gravel with sand was encountered from 296.4 m AMSL(48.8 m BGS) to 289.4 m AMSL (55.9 m BGS) and is associated withCatfish Stratified Deposits that bisect ATC1 and ATC2 where present.K-SS-OW1A-11 was screened within AFC1.ATC2 (Aquitard 3): Sandy silt to sand till identified as ATC2, Lower Catfish Creek Till, wasidentified as 10.0 m thick and extended from 289.4 m AMSL(55.9 m BGS) to 279.4 m AMSL (65.84 m BGS).4.2 hls v:\01609\active\161110897_strange_st\planning\report\final hydrogeo assessment\final\fnl_rpt_120319.docx
