CROSS SECTION EXPLANATION Groundwater Atlas of Meeker County County Atlas Series C-35, Part B Plate 8 of 8 Hydrogeologic Cross Secons E–Eʹ through H–Hʹ To accompany atlas Report and Plates 6–7. Hydrogeologic Cross Secons By Randy J. Bradt 2019 Minnesota Department of Natural Resources County Atlas Program mndnr.gov/groundwatermapping Buried sand aquifers are listed in each secon from the surface down to include the deepest buried sand aquifer that may have detectable trium. Addional aquifers discussed include those with relevant carbon-14 residence me. Cross Secon E–Eʹ A total of 10 wells were sampled for trium along this cross secon from wells ranging in depth from 56 to 312 feet. The ss aquifer deposits are at the land surface in scaered locaons on top of the nt aquitard. The most extensive and thickest deposits are located between MN 22 and CSAH 14 in the middle of the cross secon. Recent trium-age water was mapped in this aquifer. The hs aquifer was mapped as both mixed and vintage trium age. All samples were collected from areas with very low polluon sensivity. The mixed trium-age results suggest lateral recharge from adjacent areas of higher sensivity. The scs aquifer is mostly well protected and was mapped as vintage trium-age water. Mixed trium-age water was found in a sample collected on the east end of the cross secon where vintage trium was expected. The source of mixed trium is not discernable with the available informaon. Cross Secon F–Fʹ A total of 11 wells were sampled for trium along this cross secon from wells ranging from 65 to 158 feet deep. The ss aquifer deposits are at the land surface on top of the nt aquitard near MN 22 in the middle of the cross secon. Recent trium-age water was mapped in this aquifer. The nts aquifer is limited to locaons near and slightly west of CSAH 1. The buried sands were all mapped as mixed trium-age water. The ms aquifer was mapped as vintage trium-age water east of CSAH 14 where the nt aquitard is thicker, and west of CSAH 28 where the combined thickness of the nht and nt aquitards provide sufficient aquifer protecon. Between these locaons mixed trium-age water is mapped where the aquifer is not as well protected. Groundwater recharge is likely moving laterally from adjacent higher sensivity areas to the west where the overlying nts aquifer enhances recharge to this aquifer and possibly from Star Lake. The hs aquifer was mapped as vintage trium-age water in most locaons. There is one excepon just west of CSAH 1. A shallower nts aquifer appears to be connected to the underlying hs aquifer, thereby enhancing recharge to the deeper hs aquifer. On the south shore of Lake Washington east of CSAH 14, two closely spaced wells had carbon-14 residence mes of 1,300 years for the shallower 68-foot-deep well in the hs aquifer and 2,500 years for the deeper 130-foot-deep well in the scs aquifer. Cross Secon G–Gʹ Nine wells were sampled for trium in this cross secon from wells ranging from 70 to 250 feet deep. The ss aquifer deposits are at the land surface on top of the nt aquitard at three locaons in the eastern poron of the cross secon. Recent trium-age water was mapped for this aquifer. The nts aquifer was mapped as mixed trium-age water for the single shallow buried aquifer found near CSAH 1. The ms aquifer was mapped as vintage trium-age water west of MN 22 because the nht and nt aquitards are both present. Mixed trium-age water is mapped east of MN 22 where only the nt aquitard is present. The scs and gs4 aquifers were mapped as vintage trium-age water throughout. Just west of CSAH 1 two closely spaced wells having different depths were sampled for carbon-14 residence me. The shallower 97-foot-deep well in the scs aquifer dated 1,200 years old. The deeper 250-foot-deep well in the gs4 aquifer dated 5,500 years. Cross Secon H–Hʹ A total of 4 wells were sampled for trium along this cross secon from wells ranging from 60 to 195 feet deep. The nts aquifer was mapped as mixed trium-age water for these shallow buried aquifer units. The ms aquifer was mapped as vintage trium-age water with the excepon of the far eastern Crow River, South Fork locaon where the overlying nht aquitard has been removed and the nt aquitard parally dissected.
