This report documents the construction and investigation of two groundwater monitoring wells near the Naval Reactors Facility at Idaho National Laboratory. It connects the practical details of drilling and well completion with the geological information needed to interpret groundwater movement in a basalt aquifer.
Brian V. Twining, Kerri C. Treinen, and Jeffrey A. Zingre describe the original boreholes, core materials, geophysical observations, and completed monitoring intervals. Their analysis distinguishes dense basalt from fractured or vesicular layers and relates those differences to well capacity and likely pathways for water. The work also reports the hydrologic testing and water-quality information gathered as part of the investigation.
First published in 2025, this complete technical report preserves its construction records, figures, tables, findings, and references. It provides a detailed case study for readers interested in hydrogeology, environmental monitoring, and the evidence obtained from subsurface investigations.
