Title
Use
of
electrical
resistivity
and
seismic
refraction
to
determine
brine
contamination
in
western
Russell
County
,
Kansas
Degree Program
Geology
Abstract
Electrical
resistivity
and
vertical
electrical
sounding
(VES)
profiling
surveys
show
trends
of
brine
pollution
following
surface
drainage
patterns
, as
well
as
capillary
movement
of
fluids
,
accumulation
of
salts
, and
sources
of
pollution
. The
VES
surveys
were not
useful
in
determining
depth
due
to the
near
surface
brine
;
however
, in
conjunction
with
seismic
refraction
surveys
at
each
of the
pollution
sites
depth
control
seemed
to
work
well
with the
Barnes
Layer
Method
as
opposed
to the
Moore
Cumulative
Method
and
Curve
Matching
Method
.
Movement
through
the
unconsolidated
material
above
bedrock
and
bedrock
material
and the
effects
on
growing
crops
in
contaminated
material
were
estimated
using
existing
soil
and
rock
parameters
.
Movement
would be
very
slow
except
during
(short
periods
of
rapid
runoff)
times
of
heavy
rain
.
Most
likely
movement
would be
very
slow
in
Sites
#1
,
#2
, and
#4
since
the
material
above
bedrock
is
silty
clay
and
bedrock
is
weathered
shale
to
chalky
shale
.
Whereas
, in
site
#3
movement
would
proceed
downstream
quicker
compared
to the
other
three
Sites
due
to its
close
proximity
to the
major
stream
of the
area
and
more
sand
existing
within
the
unconsolidated
material
above
bedrock
.
Although
accumulation
of
salts
within
the
lowland
area
will
produce
a
saline
seep
condition
,
downstream
movement
of
some
brine
will
still
continue
. As a
result
of
my
work
, the
extent
of the
brine
, the
movement
o
f
the
brine
, and the
fertility
of the
soil
were
determined
accurately
and will be
useful
when
remediation
of the
site
occurs
.
Types
of
remediation
will
vary
, from
natural
(passive
-
site
#4)
, to
mechanical
(site
#3)
.
Sites
#1
and
#2
could
be
remediated
by
either
in
situ
or
passive
forms
.
All
remediation
will
most
likely
require
the
removal
of
pits
or the
lining
of
pits
to
take
out
the
source
of the
pollution
.
Other
resistivity
profiling
surveys
should be
conducted
to
monitor
the
future
extent
of the
brine
contaminiation
.
