Records of wells, exploratory boreholes, and ground-water quality, Atlantic County and vicinity, New Jersey

Abstract: This report presents selected data on wells, exploratory boreholes, and ground-water quality in Atlantic County and parts of eastern Ocean and Cape May Counties, New Jersey. It is one of a series of reports based on the results of a study of ground-water supplies in Atlantic City and vicinity, funded by the New Jersey Water-Supply Bond of 1981. Construction details are presented for 807 wells and exploratory boreholes, and results of more than 3,500 chemical analyses of water samples collected from 313 wells f… Show more

“…However, no information is available on potential correction models used in the calculation of radiocarbon ages. The available hydrochemical analyses of the radiocarbon dated wells from McAuley et al (2001) and Barton et al (1993) show much higher HCO 3 contents in samples of older radiocarbon ages than in those with younger ages. This suggests that the original percent modern carbon (pMC) may have changed after water infi ltration.…”

“…Beneath the New Jersey coastal plain, a multilayered system saturated with fresh water is developed in unconsolidated siliciclastic deposits of Miocene age (Barlow, 2003;Barton et al, 1993;Miller and Snyder, 1998;Szabo et al, 2006). Due to onshore pumping and salt-water intrusion, the upper unconfi ned aquifer (surficial Kirkwood-Cohansey) commonly contains brackish or salty water at the coastline.…”

“…5B). R1 probably forms the seaward extension of the onshore aquifers such as the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system and the Atlantic City 800-foot sand, forming a major aquifer along the coast (Barton et al, 1993). In contrast to the reservoirs located farther offshore, the permeable layers there have not been salinized, and the connection with the other reservoirs remains an open question.…”

“…The upper part consists of a siliciclastic prograding shelf and slope system built since the Oligocene. Beneath the coastal plain, a multilayered aquifer system saturated with low-salinity pore water is prevalently hosted in unconsolidated siliciclastic deposits of Miocene age [6,[101][102][103] (Figure 6B). The upper unconfined aquifer locally contains brackish or salty water at the coastline and this saline contamination is due to onshore pumping and salt-water intrusion.…”
