Abstract |
The occurrence of saline seeps in the vicinity of the Meeker Dome, near Meeker, Colorado in 1970 caused concern, as expressed by the State of Colorado and landowners. Of special concern was the fact that the seepage occurred less than two years after the plugging of the so-called 'Meeker Well' and the Kritsas 1 and 2 wells. Questions arose, obviously, as to whether 'replugging' of wells would correct the problems caused by seepage and whether land-restoration (to agricultural productivity) methods were available. This report presents the water chemistry and aerial infrared imagery obtained by EPA to assist in the clarification. |
