“…The deposits of Cretaceous and Tertiary age in the study area have been described in reports by Monroe (1941), Copeland (1968), and Davis (1987). Miller (1992) described the general hydrology of the Coastal Plain aquifers.…”

“…Water in these aquifers occurs under artesian conditions in most of the study area. Water enters the aquifers in topographically high outcrop areas, flows laterally along short flow paths to discharge into streams or downdip into the confined parts of the aquifers (Miller, 1992).…”

“…The average recharge to the major aquifers was estimated to be 11.4 in/yr. It should be noted that recharge generally decreases downdip of the aquifer outcrop areas (Miller, 1992). The recharge estimates are based on the outcrop areas of the major aquifers excluding those areas overlain by alluvial deposits, which are considered drainage areas.…”

“…However, many aquifers in coastal areas are confined: Upper Florida Aquifer from southeastern South Carolina (Burt 1993) to southern Alabama (Miller 1992); coastal aquifers of Texas (Weiss 1992); Chickasawhay River Aquifer of southern Mississippi (Miller 1992); Upper Chesapeake Aquifer from Maryland to North Carolina; Magothy Aquifer in New York (Leahy and Martin 1993); 800‐foot sand aquifer in New Jersey (Pope 2006) similar to aquifers along the Louisiana coast (Nyman and Fayard 1978; Weiss 1992). The need for investigation of well and aquifer contamination becomes apparent when examining past studies, which have not generally considered this problem.…”

Storm‐Damaged Saline‐Contaminated Boreholes as a Means of Aquifer Contamination

Saline water from a storm surge can flow down storm-damaged submerged water supply wells and contaminate boreholes and surrounding aquifers. Using data from conventional purging techniques, aquifer test response analysis, chemical analysis, and regression analysis of chloride/silica (Cl/Si) ratio, equations were derived to estimate the volume of saline water intrusion into a well and a porous media aquifer, the volume of water needed to purge a well shortly following an intrusion event, and the volume of water needed after delay of several or more months, when the saline plume has expanded. Purging time required is a function of volume of water and pumping rate. The study site well is located within a shoreline community of Lake Pontchartrain, St. Tammany Parish, in southeastern Louisiana, United States, which was impacted by two hurricane storm surges and had neither been rehabilitated nor chlorinated prior to our study. Chemical analysis of water samples in fall 2005 and purging of well and aquifer in June 6, 2006, indicated saline water had intruded the well in 2005 and the well and aquifer in 2006. The volume of water needed to purge the study well was approximately 200 casing volumes, which is significantly greater than conventionally used during collection of water samples for water quality analyses.

“…In Central Florida, the predominant saline aquifer available for geologic sequestration is the Cedar Keys Limestone/Lawson Dolomite comprised mostly of carbonates. Further geologic descriptions of each of these storage zones can be found inMiller (1992),Pugh et al (2008), USDOE (2010), Roberts-Ashby (2010), andPoiencot & Brown (2011a). Further specific information regarding the geologic sequestration capacity estimate development for Florida is below.…”

The feasibility of geologic sequestration is a function of many attributes including those related to site geology, geography, environment, engineering, and economics. Recently, a technical team from Southern Company, and the University of North Florida completed a preliminary feasibility evaluation of carbon transport and geologic sequestration in the Florida, USA "Pan-Handle" region. The study utilized various evaluation tools including GIS, numerical models, and optimization models.The overall planning and feasibility methodology is an adaptation of existing published frameworks for large water resources projects and for aquifer, storage and recovery (ASR) wells. The application of the new methodologies was demonstrated for geologic sequestration alternatives in Florida.The study results indicate that the Florida Pan-Handle region contains several suitable geologic sequestration storage repositories in close proximity to major carbon dioxide emission sources. The suitable geologic sequestration storage repositories include depleted oil reservoirs and extensive saline aquifers. The overall feasibility is controlled by geologic suitability of the repositories, transportation and storage costs to the repositories, and local host considerations.The significance of this study is that it is the first feasibility study of a geologic sequestration network in Florida, USA. Also, the overall planning and feasibility framework is original and could be utilized for other potential project areas around the world.
