Foreword

1985 marks the eighty-fifth year the U.S. Geological Survey has

collected data on the water resources of Michigan. During the winter of 1900-

01, a Survey employee visited the State to measure the flow of streams, and to

select sites for establishing 13 gaging stations. For the next quarter of a

century the program remained small, and much of the effort was related to

municipal needs and water-power requirements. State agency cooperation in

the data-collection effort began in 1930, and with it, began the development

of a close and unique Federal-State relationship. Although early efforts were

largely related to the flow of streams, subsequent interest resulted in the

inclusion of the collection of ground-water and water-quality information, as

well as interpretive studies of water resources locally and statewide.

Support for the program has fluctuated throughout its existence, largely in

response to economic conditions. During the past few years, due to a number of

factors, the program has decreased. Recent support for restoring and expanding

the cooperative program from governmental units, universities, and industry in

the State seems to have borne fruit. Prospects for the future look bright.

WATER RESOURCES ACTIVITIES

IN MICHIGAN

1985

Compiled by T. J. Spicer

INTRODUCTION

This report was compiled to provide information on the water resources

activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Michigan.

The U.S. Geological Survey

The U.S. Geological Survey was established by an act of Congress on March

3, 1879, to provide a permanent Federal agency to conduct the systematic and

scientific "classification of the public lands, and examination of the

geological structure, mineral resources, and products of national domain." An

integral part of that original mission includes publishing and disseminating

the earth-science information needed to understand, to plan the use of, and to

manage the Nation's energy, land, mineral, and water resources.

Since 1879, the research and fact-finding role of the USGS has grown and

been modified to meet the changing needs of the Nation it serves. As part of

that evolution, the USGS has become the Federal Government's largest earth-

science research agency, the Nation's largest civilian mapmaking agency, the

primary source of data on the Nation's surface- and ground-water resources,

and the employer of the largest number of professional earth scientists.

Today's programs serve a diversity of needs and users.

Along with its continuing commitment to meet the growing and changing

earth-science needs of the Nation, the USGS remains dedicated to its original

mission to collect, analyze, interpret, publish, and disseminate information

about the natural resources of the Nation. One of the Nation's most important

natural resources is water.

Water Resources Division's Mission and Program

The mission of the Water Resources Division is to provide the hydrologic

information and understanding needed for the optimum utilization and manage­

ment of the Nation's water resources for the overall benefit of the people of

the United States. This is accomplished, in large part, through cooperation

with other Federal and non-Federal agencies by:

Collecting, on a systematic basis, data needed for the continuing

determination and evaluation of the quantity, quality, and use of the

Nation's water resources.

Conducting analytical and interpretive water-resource appraisals

describing the occurrence, availability, and the physical, chemical, and

biological characteristics of surface and ground water.

Conducting supportive basic and problem-oriented research in hydraulics,

hydrology, and related fields of science to improve the scientific basis for

investigations and measurement techniques and to understand hydrologic

systems sufficiently well to quantitatively predict their response to

stress, either natural or manmade.

Disseminating the water data and the results of these investigations and

research through reports, maps, computerized information services, and other

forms of public releases.

Coordinating the activities of Federal agencies in the acquisition of

water data for streams, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, and ground waters.

Providing scientific and technical assistance in hydrologic fields to

other Federal, State and local agencies, to licensees of the Federal Power

Commission, and to international agencies on behalf of the Department of

State.

WATER-RESOURCES ACTIVITIES IN MICHIGAN

The water-resources program in Michigan is, for the most part, planned

and funded with local and state agencies through cooperative programs. If a

proposed project is mutually advantageous to the Geological Survey and an

agency, the Geological Survey enters into formal cooperative agreement to

provide needed information. In most cases, costs are shared equally between

the Geological Survey and the cooperator. These cooperative programs are

reviewed and renegotiated annually, and, thus, are responsive to the current

needs in the state. In Michigan, the program is conducted in cooperation with

the following agencies:

Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR)

Michigan Department of Transportation

Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army

U.S. Air Force

Local units of government

District Office Organization

The Michigan District office of the U.S. Geological Survey is located in

Lansing, Michigan; field headquarters are located in Escanaba and Grayling

The District has 31 employees. The employees consist of professional hydro-

logists that represent a variety of scientific backgrounds, including

engineering, chemistry, geology, and mathematics. The hydrologists are

supported by an experienced staff of engineering, hydrologic, and cartographic

technicians.

District operations are grouped into three sections administrative ser­

vices, hydrologic studies, and network operations (fig. 2). The function and

major purpose of each section are described in the following paragraphs.

Administrative Services Section

This section provides administrative support to the Michigan District

office and is responsible for:

- Budget formulation and execution;- Preparation of financial summaries of cooperative

programs;- Assistance in personnel management of the District;- Maintenance of all administrative files, vehicle control,

and property records; and- Insuring that staff members are familiar with regulations

pertaining to administrative functions of the District.

Hydrologic Studies Section

This section analyzes and interprets hydrologic data as they relate to

the problems of water-resources management and development. Present

activities include studies of surface- and ground-water conditions in

specified areas, investigations of the chemical, physical, and biological

properties of water, studies related to ground-water contamination, land-use

studies, and miscellaneous investigations to assist community and state plan­

ning agencies in management decisions. This section also conducts geohydro-

logic investigations to determine availability, quantity, quality, and use of

water within the state; these investigations generally are of short duration,

areal in nature, and require a thorough understanding of hydrology.

In addition to the above work, reports on the results of geohydrologic

investigations are processed within this section prior to publication.

Several different publication outlets are used to accommodate the diversity of

subject matter. Most reports are published in a formal series of the U.S.

Geological Survey or cooperating agency.

Network Operations Section

This section is responsible for the collection and publication of basic

data including records of stream discharge, ground-water levels, and quality

Page 13: WATER RESOURCES ACTIVITIES IN MICHIGAN, 1985 Compiled … · WATER RESOURCES ACTIVITIES IN MICHIGAN 1985 Compiled by T. J. Spicer INTRODUCTION This report was compiled to provide

of water. Data are collected for the basic statewide network and for use in

projects designed to appraise the water resources of the state. A backfile of

basic water data is maintained. The data are published in annual and other

reports and are used to respond to requests for information. Basic water data

is also stored in the Survey's computer storage file called WATSTORE.

Surface-water, ground-water, and quality of water data are available for

tabular presentation, statistical manipulation, or graphical display. The

thousands of records collected each year provide indispensable information on

stream stage, discharge, sediment load and concentration, chemical quality of

water, precipitation, ground-water levels, and many other factors.

Types of Funding

Funding for the water-resources programs falls into two broad categories.

In the 1985 Fiscal year, almost two-thirds of the program is composed of

hydrologic data collection operation of surface-water gaging stations,

measurement of ground-water levels, and collection of samples for chemical and

physical analysis. These data are largely obtained on a routine basis at

fixed sites. Periods of data collection vary from several months to many

years. Areal appraisals and interpretive studies, which constitute slightly

more than a third of the program, consist of a variety of investigations.

Some may be statewide in character, others address very localized problems.

Such studies may range from complex, highly technical mathematical models of

surface-water or ground-water systems, to reconnaissance appraisals of water

resources. ^wsr^ AREAL APPRAISALS

The water-resources program is supported by funds or services provided by

State and local agencies and, as part of the Federal-State Cooperative

program, are matched on a 50-50 basis by funds appropriated to the Geological

Survey by Congress for that purpose. Other Federal agencies (OFA) also

support data collection and studies; direct appropriations to the Geological

Survey (Federal program) are also available. In Fiscal year 1985, the

financial support for work in Michigan amounts to about $1,800,000. It is

distributed as follows:

OFA PROGRAM (21 percent)

FEDERAL PROGRAM (1 3 percent)

'COOPERATIVE PROGRAM (66 percent)

INFORMATION IN THIS REPORT

This report consists of four sections: (1) current projects, (2)

hydrologic conditions, (3) hydrologic-data stations, and (4) sources of

information. The current-projects section contains information concerning the

status of all projects that are presently active. The section on hydrologic-

data stations gives locations where surface-water and ground water-data are

collected and the types of records available. The hydrologic-conditions

section provides general statewide information on water resources. The

sources-of-information section contains a listing of publications resulting

from work done by the Geological Survey and cooperating organizations.

SURFACE-WATER STATIONS

LAKE ERIE

PROJECT NO. - MI 001

PROBLEM: Surface-water information is needed for purposes of surveillance, planning, design, hazard warning, water supply, hydroelectric power, flood control, irrigation, bridge and culvert design, wildlife management, pollu­ tion abatement, flood-plain management, and water-resources development. To provide this information, an appropriate data base is necessary.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Collect surface-water data sufficient to satisfy needs for current-purpose uses, such as assessment of water resources, operation of reservoirs or industries, forecasting, disposal of wastes and pollution controls, discharge data to accompany water-quality measurements, compact and legal requirements, and research or special studies and (2) collect data necessary for analytical studies to define for any location the statistical properties of, and trends in, the occurrence of water in streams, lakes, bays, etc., for use in planning and design.

APPROACH: Standard methods of data collection will be used as described in the series, '"Techniques of Water Resources Investigations of the United States Geological Survey." Partial-record gaging will be used instead of complete-record gaging where it serves the required purpose.

GROUND-WATER STATIONS

SUPER/0/?

LAKE ERIE

PROJECT NO. - MI 002

PROBLEM: Long-term water-level records are needed to evaluate the effects of climatic variations on the recharge to and discharge from ground-water systems, to provide a data base from which to measure the effects of development, to assist in the prediction of future supplies, and to provide data for management of the resource.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Collect water-level data sufficient to provide a minimum long-term data base so that the general response of the hydrologic system to natural climatic variations and induced stresses is known and potential problems can be defined early enough to allow proper planning and management and (2) provide a data base against which the short-term records acquired in areal studies can be analyzed. This analysis must provide an assessment of the ground-water resource, allow prediction of future conditions, detect and define pollution and supply problems, and provide the data base necessary for management of the resource.

APPROACH: Evaluation of regional geology allows broad, general definition of aquifer systems and their boundary conditions. Within this framework and with some knowledge of stress on the system in time and space and the hydrologic properties of the aquifers, a subjective decision can be made on the most advantageous locations for observation of long-term system behavior. This subjective network can be refined as records become avail­ able and detailed areal studies of the ground-water system more closely define the aquifers, their properties, and the stresses to which they are subjected.

WATER-QUALITY STATIONS

SUPERIOR

LAKE ERIE

PROJECT NO. - MI 003

PROBLEM: Water-resource planning and water-quality assessment require a nation­ wide base of information. To obtain this information, the chemical and physical quality of surface water and ground water must be defined and monitored. In addition, long-term sampling stations representing the numerous hydrological accounting units in Michigan must be operated to meet the object­ ives of the National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN).

OBJECTIVE: (1) Provide current and long-term data sufficient to describe water-quality conditions of surface and ground water in Michigan that are needed by planning and management agencies, (2) improve the water-quality data base in Michigan so that future assessments can be more effective, (3) participate in the operation of the National Stream Quality Accounting Network, and (4) collect samples from wells throughout the state to estab­ lish a base against which future water-quality data can be compared and against which the effect of new and additional stresses can be evaluated.

APPROACH: Operate a network of water-quality stations to meet the needs of the State of Michigan and the objectives of national programs. Standard methods of data collection will be used.

SEDIMENT STATIONS

PROJECT NO. - MI 004

PROBLEM: Water-resources planning and water-quality assessment require a nationwide base level of relatively standardized information. Sediment concentrations and discharges in rivers and streams must be defined and monitored.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Establish and operate a network of daily and periodic fluvial sediment stations to provide spatial and temporal averages and trends of sediment concentration, sediment discharge, and particle size of sediment being transported by streams. Define yields and transport characteristics for the principal drainage basins in the state, (2) contribute to a national bank of sediment data for use in broad federal and state planning and action programs, and (3) provide data for federal management of interstate and international waters.

RESULTS LAST YEAR: Sediment data were collected, analyzed and prepared for publication for several NASQAN and miscellaneous stream measurement sites.

PLANS THIS YEAR: Sediment data will be collected at existing NASQAN stations and new stations will be established to meet the need of new projects.

WATER USE

PROJECT NO. - MI 007

PROBLEM: Michigan waters are under stress from increasing demands for domestic, industrial,, agricultural, and other uses, and from demands for greater protection of water quality. Competition for water dictates that available supplies are matched with uses most beneficial to the common good.

Water-use information for Michigan has been collected in the past for inclusion in the annual ground-water report and in miscellaneous reports of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. There has been little standardization of data or of methods used in collecting the data. Standards of accuracy vary over a wide range. Because water-use data are being used increasingly for planning and making long-range forecasts, and in making estimates of water available from different sources, there is a need to coordinate efforts, systematize the approach to data collection, and develop standards of accuracy for the dissemination and use of these data.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Provide water-use information for the optimum utilization and management of the state's water resources for the overall benefit of the people of Michigan and the Nation. The system will be responsive to the data needs of local users, the Geological Survey, and other Federal agencies, (2) collect, store, and disseminate water-use data to complement data on avail­ ability and quality of the state's water resources, and (3) develop and operate a system to handle the data.

APPROACH: Responsibilities are divided between the State of Michigan and the U.S. Geological Survey to reflect the most efficient means of meeting the objectives of the program. Direction, management, and standards development to meet the National needs are the responsibility of the U.S. Geological Survey. Field activities for the acquisition and storage of the data are the primary responsibility of the State.

EVALUATION OF THE STREAMFLOW DATA NETWORK IN MICHIGAN ^48*

PROJECT NO. - MI 036

PROBLEM: Michigan's streamflow data network cannot be managed to optimize regional streamflow transfer capability with currently available information As a result, inefficiencies in resource allocation, rather than real budgetary constraints, may limit data collection. Also available multiple-regression equations for estimating flow characteristics at ungaged sites have large standard errors of estimate. Thus, estimated flow characteristics frequently are less accurate than needed by many water-data users.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Document the purpose of operating each gaging station and crest- stage station, (2) develop regional regression equations to estimate natural low, mean, and high streamflow characteristics at ungaged sites using data available through 1982, and (3) evaluate the cost effectiveness of the present gaging-station network.

RESULTS LAST YEAR: Determined the cost effectiveness of the stream-gaging program in Michigan and prepared report.

GROUND-WATER FLOW IN MUNICIPAL WELL FIELD, BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN

SUPERIOR

PROJECT NO. - MI 037

PROBLEM: Movement of ground water in the Battle Creek area is not understood in sufficient detail to permit accurate predictions of contaminant movement, nor to develop and evaluate remedial plans. It is impossible to determine which water-supply wells should be operated to prevent more extensive contamination of the Verona well field. The effects of previous industrial pumpage need to be assessed to understand the stresses affecting directions of ground-water movement in the area. Possible expansion of the well field should be examined.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Determine the effect that current water-supply pumping has on the direction and rate of natural ground-water flow, and how changes in the quantity and location of pumping affect flow, (2) determine the most appro­ priate pumping pattern to assure minimum impact of existing contamination in the well field, (3) evaluate hydrologically suitable locations for instal­ ling purge wells if needed, (4) evaluate the effects of industrial pumping on the well field, and (5) determine the feasibility of extending the well field northward.

GROUND-WATER CONTAMINATION AT THE COAST GUARD AIR STATION, TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN SUPERIOR

LAKE ERIE

PROJECT NO. - MI 038

PROBLEM: Domestic ground-water supplies and the ground-water system in thevicinity of the United States Coast Guard Air Station, Traverse City, Michigan have been contaminated with organic chemicals. The principal contaminants are chlorinated hydrocarbons, benzene, toulene, and xylene. Additional study is needed to permit the Coast Guard to assess present remedial action and, if necessary, institute new action.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Determine rate and direction of ground-water flow at or near the Coast Guard Air Station, (2) assist in locating new sources of ground-water contaminants, (3) determine the extent and distribution of contaminants, and (4) evaluate hydrologically suitable locations for installing purge wells.

APPROACH: (1) Drill additional wells in the general area of the Air Station, (2) measure water levels periodically in wells, (3) make pumping tests to determine specific capacity, hydraulic conductivity, and transmissivity, and (4) redefine a flow model of the ground-water system.

RELATION OF WATER QUALITY OF DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLIES TO ABANDONED COAL MINES, BAY COUNTY, MICHIGAN

<J^48°SUPERIOR

LAKE ERIE

PROJECT NO. - MI 039

PROBLEM: Domestic ground-water supplies in some areas of Bay County have been judged unsuitable for use by Health officials during the past few years. Scant data suggests that abandoned coal mines may have caused the problem. Suitable supplies can be developed only by understanding the movement, quantity, and quality characteristics of ground water in both the mined and unmined areas.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Determine chemical and physical characteristics of water from wells drilled to coal deposits, abandoned mines, and aquifers of the Saginaw Formation in Monitor and Williams Townships, Bay County, and (2) evaluate the effect of abandoned coal mines on natural ground-water quality, with particular reference to domestic water supplies and assess the extent of any effect.

WATER RESOURCES OF GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY, MICHIGAN

SUPERIOR

PROJECT NO. - MI 040

PROBLEM: An increased demand for water by irrigators, municipalities, and industries is affecting economic development in parts of Grand Traverse County, the world's largest producer of cherries. Irrigation alone has increased by more than 300 percent since 1970. The effect of this expansion is unknown, and available information is inadequate to provide a basis for solving problems when they occur. Deteriorating ground-water quality at some places is likely related to use of fertilizer. Studies have shown that nitrate levels in heavily irrigated areas have made water unsuitable for domestic use.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Determine the quantity and quality of ground water andsurface water, with particular attention to the use of water for irrigation, and the causes of contamination, (2) evaluate the chemical characteristics of precipitation and integrate this information into hydrologic assessments, (3) relate quality of ground water to land use, with emphasis on agricultural use, (4) relate, if possible, the transport of dissolved and sorbed substances and suspended sediment by streams to agricultural practices and land use, and (5) use mathematical models, where appropriate, to better understand the ground-water system.

APPROACH: (1) Evaluate available data contained in State, County, and Geological Survey files, (2) make routine discharge measurements at 15 stream sites 10 to 12 times per year, at 10 miscellaneous sites three times per year, and at several sites as needed during high flow, (3) measure ground- water levels at about 50 sites and install twenty 4-inch, twenty-five 2- inch, and two 6-inch wells, (4) install recording rain gages at two sites, (5) collect water-quality data from about 250 wells, 15 lakes, and 25 streams, (6) measure quality of precipitation, (7) develop mathematical models, for assessing local ground-water conditions, and (8) analyze and evaluate data; write report.

MICHIGAN BASIN REGIONAL AQUIFER SYSTEM ANALYSIS

SUPERIOR

PROJECT NO. - MI 041

PROBLEM: About half of Michigan's population depends on ground water as the source of domestic and public supply. The potential for development of supplies in large areas of glacial deposits and bedrock aquifers in the Lower Peninsula, however, is not well defined. The Marshall and Saginaw Formations of the Michigan Basin are extensively used, and in one area water levels are as much as 160 feet below prepumping levels. Migration of saline water resulting from excessive pumping has also caused abandonment of well fields. A better understanding of the hydrogeology and the occurrence of fresh and saline water is necessary if the effects of future development are to be determined.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Describe the geologic, hydrologic, and chemical quality char­ acteristics of water-bearing rocks in the central part of the Michigan Basin, (2) delineate the vertical and areal extent of saline water and identify areas subject to saline-water contamination, (3) using computer models, simulate the effects of additional stress on aquifer systems, (4) develop a computerized data-base management system for the aquifer; (5) using simulation techniques, evaluate alternative management schemes for the aquifer system, and (6) evaluate hydrologic data to develop a network for monitoring water use, water levels, and water quality.

APPROACH: (1) Develop a detailed work plan and review existing literature, (2) compile pertinent data from all sources, (3) using file data, define geologic framework, (4) conduct surface and borehole geophysical surveys to delineate saline-water bodies, (5) develop a density-dependent solute transport model to simulate the saline-fresh water interface, and (6) collect geologic, hydrologic, and water-quality data to define areal and aquifer variability by installing test wells.

MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF STREAMFLOW UNDER ICE, MICHIGAN

SUPERlQff

LAKE ERIE

PROJECT NO. - MI 042

PROBLEM: Ice cover on an open channel often alters the flow characteristics of streams. Current methods of computing discharge in an ice covered chan­ nel are primarily empirical and often rely upon the experience of a hydro- logist. A new theoretical model uses indicated stage, float depth of the ice, and the open-water stage-discharge relationship, to compute ice- affected river flows at times of solid ice cover. Although the model seems to offer advantages over current techniques, it has not been evaluated by a rigorous field investigation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the accuracy of simulations of streamflow under ice made by a theoretical model developed by Santeford and Alger (1984), and to extend, if possible, simulations to periods of stream freeze-up and ice break-up.

APPROACH: (1) Install and equip two gaging stations on the Sturgeon River upstream from the index gaging station near Sidnaw, (2) obtain detailed river cross sections at all three gages and establish benchmarks along the river between the gages, (3) make discharge measurements at Sturgeon River at Nahma Junction and Red Cedar River near Williamston to verify model during times of complete ice cover, (4) develop open-water ratings for the two new gages near Sidnaw, and (5) modify existing computer program to calculate discharge for comparison to field measurement of discharge at Sturgeon River and Red Cedar River gaging stations.

GROUND-WATER STUDY OFK.I. SAWYER AIR FORCE BASE,MICHIGAN SUPERlOf?

PROJECT NO. - MI 043

PROBLEM: Information on the hydrogeology at K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base is inadequate for description and evaluation of potential problems, for management and protection of Base water resources, and for development of needed Base water-supply capacity. Trichloroethylene has been found in ground water at one location on the Base, and in Silver Lead Creek. Without information on the hydraulics of the ground-water system, movement and dispersion of contaminants cannot be predicted, nor can contaminants be traced to their origin.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Determine geologic conditions at and near K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base, (2) determine rate and direction of ground-water flow, (3) determine chemical characteristics of ground water, including both organic and inorganic substances, (4) locate source or sources of contaminants, (5) determine extent and distribution of contaminants, (6) determine if there is a relation between trichloroethylene detected in ground water and trichloroethylene detected in Silver Lead Creek, and (7) identify hydrologically suitable locations at which new water-supply wells may be installed.

APPROACH: (1) Evaluate available geologic and hydrologic data, (2) usinggeophysical techniques, determine altitude of bedrock surface and lithologic characteristics of glacial deposits, (3) install wells on Base and in surrounding area, (4) make routine water-level measurements, either weekly, monthly, or with recording equipment, (5) conduct pumping tests on selected wells to determine hydraulic properties of the aquifer, (6) collect water samples from wells for analysis of volatile hydrocarbon and common dissolved substances (make field measurements of specific conductance and temperature), (7) make periodic measurements of discharge of Silver Lead Creek, and (8) develop a finite-difference model of the ground-water system.

WATER QUALITY TRENDS OF MICHIGAN STREAMS

SUPERIOR

47* 85°

PROJECT NO. - MI 044

PROBLEM: A major effort has been made by the State of Michigan in the past 10 years to control the discharge of pollutants to streams in urban areas. Costly treatment facilities have been installed and regulations developed to protect water quality. The effectiveness of pollution control efforts, however, has not been assessed by rigorous analysis of data obtained at monitoring stations. Thus, decisions affecting the management of stream- water quality must be made without the guidance and benefit such study would provide. A trend analysis of major water-quality characteristics is needed.

OBJECTIVES: (1) Determine trends in concentration and transport for 9selected water-quality characteristics at 23 stream sites in 11 urban areas by determining the average concentration and whether monotonic or step trends occur in flow-adjusted water-quality characteristics at the sites and within urban areas, (2) compare trends to known changes in basin char­ acteristics, and (3) outline possible strategies for improving the water- quality monitoring network.

APPROACH: (1) Retrieve water-quality data from USEPA's STORET file, (2) develop fortran program code to manipulate and transform water-quality data for processing, (3) compute univariate statistics and develop box plots for each constituent, (4) flow adjust concentration data for all monitoring sites, (5) use raw and/or flow-adjusted concentration and transport data to conduct non-parametric tests for time-series trends, (6) analyze, changes in concentration and transport within urban areas based on differences between upstream and downstream sites, (7) relate observed trends to changes in pollution-abatement facilities, regulations, or other variables, and (8) identify strategies to improve the data-collection network.

GROUND-WATER MOVEMENT NEAR UPPER GREAT LAKES CONNECTING CHANNELS

SUPER/OS?

PROJECT NO. - MI 045

PROBLEM: Information on the movement of ground water to Great Lakes connecting channels in Michigan is inadequate for an evaluation of its impact on the water quality of the channels. Contaminants from landfills, waste-disposal sites, and areas of known ground-water contamination could be a significant factor in determining water quality of the Great Lakes. In areas adjacent to the St. Marys River, Lake St. Clair, the St. Clair River, and the Detroit River, more than 100 hazardous-waste sites lie within 10 miles of the channels. Five of these sites are on the National Priority List. Upward movement of chemical substances from deep geologic strata, either from natural sources or from areas where deep injection of wastes has occurred, is also a possibility.

OBJECTIVE: (1) Determine the geologic conditions near connecting channels, (2) determine configuration of the water table and direction of ground-water flow, (3) determine the chemical and physical characteristics of ground water, with particular attention to the characteristics near known hazardous-waste sites, (4) assess the movement of dissolved substances from deep geologic strata to the connecting channels, and (5) assess the ground- water contribution of contaminants and natural occurring substances in the connecting channels.

APPROACH: Data collection and analyses activities will be conducted in three phases to meet the requirements of the United States-Canadian agreements developed by the project Management and Activities Intergration Committees. Phase I will be concerned with assembling data and identifying sites where ground-water contamination is suspected or known; phase II will consist of a preliminary designation of potentially hazardous sites; and phase III will consist of site specific investigation for prioritizing waste sites and calculating loading.

HYDROLOGIC CONDITIONS

Most of Michigan has water resources sufficient to meet present needs.

Much of the State is bounded by water and annual precipitation ranges from 28

to 36 inches (fig. 3). Eight to 16 inches of precipitation becomes surface

runoff (fig. 4) and 9 to 15 inches recharges the ground-water reservoir; the

remainder is returned to the atmosphere by evapotranspiration. The discharge

of streams is shown in figures 5 and 6; the availability of ground water is

shown in figures 7 and 8. Fresh water withdrawals from both surface- and

ground-water sources average about 15 billion gallons per day. Nearly 97

percent is from surface-water sources; particularly from the Great Lakes and

connecting waters. Largest municipal withdrawals are in the heavily populated

counties in the southern part of the State (fig. 9). Glacial deposits are the

source of municipal ground-water supplies in most of the State (fig. 10). In

some parts of the State, the base of fresh ground water is less than 200 feet

deep (fig. 11), and some wells produce salty water.

Michigan has identified more than 1,000 sites where ground water has been

contaminated to some degree and an even greater number of sites where pollu­

tion is suspected (Michigan Department of Natural Resources, 1985). A wide

range of contaminants is involved. At many sites, chlorinated hydrocarbons

and hydrocarbons that are contained in fuel substances are the contaminants.

Nitrates from surface sources have contaminated domestic ground-water supplies

in concentrations of as much as 30 mg/L at some locations in the Lower

Peninsula (Cummings and others, 1984).

HYDROLOGIC-DATA STATIONS

Hydrologic-data stations are maintained by the Geological Survey at

selected key locations throughout Michigan to constitute a basic-data network

for obtaining records on stream discharge or stage, reservoir and lake

storage, ground-water levels, and the quality of surface and ground water.

Every year stations are added and others are terminated; thus, the Geological

Survey has both a current and historical file of hydrologic data. Much of the

information collected is stored in the Geological Survey's National Water Data

Storage and Retrieval System (WATSTORE) and are available to water planners

and other involved in making decisions affecting the State's water resources.

Surface-Water Stations

In table 1, the station number is a permanent numerical designation for

surface-water stations that has been adopted on .a nationwide basis by the

Geological Survey. Stations are numbered and listed in a downstream direction

along the main stem. All stations on the tributary entering above a main-stem

station are listed before that station. A tributary entering between two

main-stem stations is listed between them.

Ground-Water Stations

Table 2 lists the ground water stations established as part of the State­

wide observation network. In addition to ground-water information collected

at sites listed in table 2, chemical analyses of ground water have been

collected at other locations in the State. Further information is available

upon request.

The well-numbering system for Michigan indicates the location of wells

within the rectangular subdivision of the land with reference to the Michigan

meridian and base line. The first two segments of the well number designate

township and range, the third segment of the number designates the section,

and the letters A through D designate successively smaller subdivisions of the

section as shown below. Thus, a well designated as 32N 6 E 16CCCB would be

located to the nearest 2.5 acres (1 hectare) and would be within the shaded

area in section 16.

For many wells in this report, locations are only given to the nearest

40-acre (16 hectares) tract, for example, 16CC. In the event that two or more

wells are located in the same tract, a sequential number designation is

added for example, 16CC1, 16CC2, 16CC3, etc.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION

The U.S. Geological Survey publishes an annual series of reports, "Water

Resources Data for Michigan," in which hydrologic data collected for each

water year (October 1 to September 30) are included. The Survey publishes

another annual series of reports "Ground-Water Data for Michigan", in which

ground-water data collected for each calender year are included. These

reports are available upon request to the District Chief. Topographic maps

showing areas inundated by 100-year floods are available from the District

office. Additional information on surface- and ground-water conditions in

Michigan is given in reports shown in the following published reports listing

(table 3). Inquiries concerning the availability of these reports should be

addressed to:
