Abstract |
A detailed investigation was made on one (among several noted) incident where a fresh-water aquifer has been polluted by accepted disposal of oil-field brine through an evaporation pit (an unlined earthen pit) and later a faulty disposal well. The present extent of the brine pollution is one square mile, however, it will spread to affect 4 1/2 square miles and will remain for over 250 years before being flushed naturally into the Red River. Several rehabilitation methods are evaluated in detail, including controlled pumping to the Red River and deep-well disposal. None of the methods that are both technically feasible and permissible show a positive public benefit-cost ratio. (Author Modified Abstract) |
