“…B. Martin, 1977; and John Vecchioli, injection of a treated industrial waste that is mod erately acidic and high in concentrations of nitrate, organic nitrogen, and organic carbon began in June 1975; at the end of 1977, about 2.5 x 106 m3 of waste had been injected into a confined saline-water lime stone aquifer. During the experiment, the backflowed waste was discharged from the injection well into a holding pond for about 72 hours at a rate of 13 L/s.…”

Monitoring of Subsurface Injection of Wastes, Florida

Injection of waste liquids into Florida's subsurface is physically feasible in many places but should be accompanied by monitoring of the waste‐receiving aquifer system in addition to the injection facility. Monitoring of the interaction of factors including hydrogeologic conditions, well construction, waste volumes and characteristics, and potable‐water sources is desirable to assure that fresh‐water resources are not being adversely affected. An effective aquifer‐system monitoring program includes on‐site wells located close to an injection well and open to the next‐higher permeable stratum, satellite wells located hundreds to several thousands of feet from an injection well and open to the receiving aquifer, and regional wells located miles from individual injection wells and open to the receiving aquifer. An extensive aquifer‐system monitoring program associated with two waste‐injection facilities near Pensacola, Florida, has provided data which have aided hydrologists to understand the aquifer system's response to the injection and, accordingly, to evaluate the potential for affecting the area's fresh‐water resources.

Industrial, organic, liquid waste has been injected into a permeable part of the lower limestone of the Floridan aquifer at one site since 1963 and at another site since 1975, raising water levels in the injection zone throughout a large region in northwestern Florida. Data from the injection operations have made possible the application of a computerized mathematical model for a simulation of injection effects in the region. into the regional hydraulic model, numerical dispersion introduced by the large time and spatial discretizations required by the scale of the problem was far greater in degree than the hydrodynamic dispersion directly entered into the model as a best estimate of that occurring in the aquifer, making this simulation approach infeasible. 'Hydraulic, geologic, and chemical data collected during and after well construction are described by Pascale and Martin (1977), and are included in the data summary of Hull and Martin (1982).
