Abstract |
A large part of the Middle Deschutes Basin in Central Oregon is underlain by basaltic lava flows that restrict the construction of conventional drain fields for liquid waste disposal. Drilled disposal wells in the lava serve as the chief method of liquid waste disposal. The disposal wells are concentrated in the Bend, Redmond, and Madras areas. They range from a few feet to over 400 feet in depth. Large quantities of ground water underlie these areas and are being developed for domestic water supplies. The injection of liquid waste into disposal wells and the construction of deep uncased water wells create a threat to water quality. The prevention of further drain well construction and the casing of all deep wells are recommended. (WRSIC Abstract) |
