Dear Mr. Tucker:
Please find attached four (4) copies of our report on the soils for the proposed Tomy Subdivision. The report
includes a site Plan, Plate 1., showing test pit locations as prepared by your office, the four (4) backhoe road
test pit logs, Plates 2, 3, 4, and 5 along with associated Particle Size Distribution Reports/Soil Frost
Classifications, Plates 6, 7, 8, and 9, eleven (11) Soil Percolation/Soil Test Logs along w/th corresponding Soil
Particle Size Distribution Reports for the soil in the percolation test strata for the eleven (11) proposed lots are
also attached. We have included a copy of the Symbols and Terminology used to describe the soils, Plates 10
and 11. The test pits were excavated at, or near, the locations laid out by Mr. Tucker between October 11 and
October 13, 2005. Ground water levels, as shown on the logs, were measured October 20, 2005.
Soil Percolation Tests were performed between October 16 and October 20, 2005. The accepting soils were
found to be adequate for septic desig~a, with no groundwater within 4' and no impermeable soils or bedrock
within 6' of the Percolation Test locations. There were no slopes that exceeded 25% within 50' and no surface
water/domestic water wells within 100'of the Percolation Test Holes.
Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or, we can be additional assistance.
Sincerely,

Re:
Evaluation of aquifers in the vicinity of Aurora View Subdivision, Anchorage,
Alaska.
Dear Mr. Tucker:
This letter report is to provide the findings of recent aquifer testing and evaluation of aquifer
conditions in the vicinity of Aurora View Subdivision in Anchorage, Alaska. Aurora View
Subdivision is located along Snowberry Road approximately 0.5 mile east of Hillside Drive and
immediately north of Upper Huffman Road in Anchorage's Hillside area. The purpose of the
work is to support the Municipality of Anchorage's review of the adequacy of supplies of water
from wells for the proposed residential use and potential impacts on water supplies at
surrounding properties.
Hydrogeologic Setting
The general groundwater conditions in the vicinity of the site are described by Dearbom and
Barnwell (1975). Aurora View Subdivision is located in the Little Campbell Creek basin, and
the creek is located approximately 600 feet north of the northern boundary of the subdivision.
Glacial deposits in the area are mapped by Glass (1988) as less than 150 ft thick; closest to
Upper Huffman road they are less than 50 ft thick. Glacial deposits are thickest on the north side
of the property closest to the creek, and several wells immediately north of the property tap sand
and gravel aquifers at depths up to approximately 120 ft. Most wells in the area tap a fractured
metamorphic rock aquifer consisting of argillite, greywacke, and related rock types.
A review of recent aerial photography of the project area (using the Google Maps website)
reveals that residential development in the vicinity of Aurora View Subdivision has a generally
similar density of dwellings as is proposed. An important part of this analysis is to determine
whether existing development patterns have resulted in any water level declines in aquifers.
Methods and Sources of Data
A review of well logs and well adequacy reports from surrounding properties was performed to
evaluate the general conditions in the area. Local and state agency staff and local water well
industry personnel were interviewed to determine if there is a pattern of problems related to well
water usage in the vicinity. Where possible, comparisons were made between water-level
measurements in the same wells at different times, typically over a period of years, to determine
if there is a pattern of declining water levels. Also, Hillside area water-budget information is
used to estimate potential sustainable aquifer yields using methods similar to those used by the
U. S. Geological Survey report for the area.

Three test wells have been drilled on the property, and between January 13 and 22, three separate
aquifer tests were conducted using these wells, alternately, as pumping and observation wells.
Locations of the test wells are shown on the attached well location map. The results of the
aquifer testing are described in this report and calculations of the effects of the proposed well
development on surrounding properties are provided. The pumping and water-level data were
collected by Aarow Pump and Well, LLC, and are attached to this report.
Aquifer Recharge, Water-Supply Potential, and Existing Development
The bedrock aquifer in this area is not locally exposed and receives recharge through the
overlying glacial deposits. These deposits commonly have a water table perched on top of the
bedrock surface that slowly leaks water into the near-surface fractures of the aquifer. As
previously described, immediately north of the Aurora View, the glacial deposits are sufficiently
thick to sustain a usable aquifer for water supply to wells. Within the area of Aurora View, an
infiltration basin has been constructed to retain stormwater flow and snowmelt. This basin
effectively aids groundwater recharge by retaining water on-site until it has sufficient time to
infiltrate into the silty soils and percolate down to the water table aquifer.
Regional data indicate that average annual precipitation in this part of Anchorage is
approximately 20 inches/year. Assuming that approximately 20 percent of this amount recharges
groundwater, then the 15-aere tract should recharge an average of approximately 4460 gallons of
water per day to local aquifers. This amount equates to 406 gallons per day for each of the 11
planned homes on the parcel. Considering the effects of the infiltration basin to enhance
groundwater recharge, these data suggest that on-site recharge of water alone is potentially
sufficient to supply aquifers with the quantity of water needed for subdivision use.
Dearborn and Bamwell (1975) studied the Anchorage Hillside hydrology in the area of this
project to determine the long-term potential yield of water-supply aquifers. They concluded that
the sustainable yield of groundwater aquifers in areas underlain by glacial drift aquifers was in
the range of 2-4 million gallons per day for their study area. This converts to 4,000 to 8,000
gallons per day for the 15-acre tract, or 300 to 600 gpd for each of the eleven planned homes.
Although they indicated that sustainable well yields might be somewhat lower for areas with
bedrock aquifers, they did not provide quantitative estimates. Their study provides support that
groundwater supplies in this area are potentially sufficient to provide water for residential
development on a long-term basis as proposed.
The proposed subdivision is centrally located in a large area tapping the bedrock aquifer that is
already developed at a similar housing density. Aurora View subdivision represents only a small
increase in water use in the area. As described below, a review of area well data and discussions
with agencies and water resource professionals, show that there does not appear to be any area-
wide lowering of water levels which would indicate that local aquifers are not capable of
sustaining existing development. This is consistent with the recharge analysis and sustainable

Interviews
Ms. Kelly Westphal of the Alaska Department of Natural Resource (ADNR) and Mr. Dan Roth
of the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) were contacted to determine if there were reports of
declining water levels and well problems in the area. No problems or knowledge of any area-
wide water-level declines were reported. Mr. Dave Harper of Alpine Drilling and Enterprises
and Mr. Brian Wille of Aarow Pump and Well, LLC, who have installed and serviced numerous
wells in the vicinity, report that this area is known for having a low-yield bedrock aquifer, but
Review of area well logs
The WELTS well log database (http://www. nawnaps.alaska.~ov/welts/) maintained by the
ADNR was searched for logs of wells from adjacent and surrounding properties. The MOA's
On-site database (http://www.muni.org/onsite/) was also examined for well logs and engineering
reports. Tables 1 and 2 present the results of the data search. Twenty one well logs were
identified including three test wells drilled for Aurora View Subdivision. The well logs are
divided into two tables: 1) wells tapping sand and gravel aquifers, and 2) wells tapping the
bedrock aquifer.

Summary of Well Log Review
Wells tapping sand and graver aquifers. Seven wells in the vicinity were found to tap sand
and gravel aquifers. Reported yields range from 3 to 18 gpm, and inspection of water-level data
collected during different years shows that water levels in the aquifers have remained relatively
stable. Because wells tapping sand and gravel aquifers are relatively productive and most or all
wells in the Aurora View subdivision are expected to tap the bedrock aquifer, sand and gravel
aquifers are not expected to be impacted by wells at Aurora View Subdivision and will not be
further analyzed in this report.

Wells tapping bedrock aquifers. Fourteen wells in the vicinity were found to tap the bedrock
aquifer. Reported yields range from 0.42 to 10 gpm, and inspection of water-level data collected
during different years shows that water levels in the aquifer have remained relatively stable. The
median reported well yield is 1.7 gpm. This is approximately four times the daily demand for a
four bedroom home.
Static water levels range in depth from approximately 20 to 70 ft below land surface. Well
depths range from 49 ft to 605 ft below land surface. There are 16 calculable estimates of
transmissivity from the bedrock well data available. Calculated transmissivity ranges from 1.7 to
800 gpd/ft. The median estimate is 16 gpd/ft. This value is in the low end range of a fractured
metamorphic bedrock aquifer (Freeze and Cherry, 1979, p. 29).
The available well data indicate that wells in the project area are capable of supplying sufficient
water to single family homes on ma on-going basis. While well yields from bedrock wells in this
area are generally low, they are adequate for household use. Some wells require in-home storage
or hydrofracking to increase yields. On one lot, two low-yield wells are plumbed together into
one home and appear to function satisfactorily (see Table 2).
Dearborn and Bamwell (1975 observe that effectivll~/ll~/[~ll~
~leepening the well may also increase the well yield by
tapping previously untapped fractures.
I[ I - '~'" Ii Wells that exhibit declining yields over time should be evaluated by a
well professional for plugging. Plugging can be caused by sediment accumulations, iron
hydroxide bioaccumulations, or precipitated calcium carbonate, all of which can occur in wells
subject to large fluctuations in water levels caused by fluctuating water usage. All of these
plugging problems can be remedied by accepted physical or chemical treatment methodologies.
Test-Well Drilling
Three test wells were drilled at the locations shown on the attached figure. Logs of the wells are
contained in Attachment A. For this report, the well drilled on lot 7 will be called Well 7, the
well drilled on Lot 5 will be called Well 5, and the well drilled on Lot 9 will be called Well 9.
The wells all tapped the bedrock aquifer and varied in depth from 326 to 586 ft. The wells were
developed by air-lift pumping, with estimated reported yields at the time of drilling ranging from
1.5 to 5 gpm.
Aquifer Testing Results
Well 7 testing. Aquifer testing was performed first using Well 7 as the pumped well and Wells
5 and 9 as observation wells. A pump was set in Well 7 at a depth of 402 ft and an initial
drawdown and well yield test was conducted on January 9, 2009. The well was drawn down to
the pump intake as quickly as possible and the flow rate was then reduced to determiue the rate
at which the well was producing water. Calculations indicated that the well was producing
approximately 1 gpm during 4 hours of pumping after reaching full drawdown.

Aurora View Subdivision, Anchorage, Alaska
J. A. MUNTER CONSULTING~ INC.
On January 13-14, 2009, a 25-hour aquifer test was conducted. A plot of the water level data
from Well 7 is contained in Attachment B. Water levels are recorded as feet of water above the
sensor, which was set at a depth of 396.31 ft below top of casing. Well 7 had an initial static
water level of 64.15 ft below top of casing, which correlates to a datalogger reading of 332.16 ft
above the sensor.
The test was started at 10:18 am, however the generator failed and the test was restarted at 11:24
am with a partially recovered water level of 83.55 ft below toc. The rate of pumping was set at 3
gpm, which was the lowest setting the pump was capable of without overheating and damaging
the pump. The attached datalogger data for Well 7 show that the water level reached maximum
drawdown after approximately 6.5 hours of pumping. The pump cycled on and offfor the
remainder of the test, producing water at an average rote of approximately 0.8 gpm at the end of
the test. At 3 gpm, the pump cycled on and off with 2 to 3 minute pumping cycles and 6-7
minute recovery cycles.
After pumping was stopped completely, the well recovery rate showed that the well bore gained
35.39 ft of water in the first 60 minutes of recovery, which averages 0.83 gpm for the 5 7/8-inch
hole (using 1.408 gal ofwater/fi of borehole). This confirms the yield of the aquifer.
A widely-used empirical equation used to estimate transmissivity from aquifer test data is
derived from the specific capacity of the pumped well at the end of the test. This relationship
(Sterrett, R. J., 2007, Appendix 6.N) is:
T = 2000 x SC where:
T = transmissivity (gpd/ft)
SC = Specific Capacity (gpm/ft of drawdown) = yield/drawdown
In this case, SC = 0.8 gpm/328 ft = 0.00244 gpm/ft of drawdown.
and
T = 2000 x 0.00244 gpm/f~ of drawdown = 4.9 gpd/ft
The observation well data are also contained in Attachment B. Water levels in Well 5 rose
slightly throughout the test and the water level in Well 9 fluctuated slightly. Neither well
exhibited any apparent response to pumping.
Storafivity of the aquifer is not possible to calculate with the drawdown data from only the
production well.
Well 5 testing. Aquifer testing was next performed using Well 5 as the pumped well and Wells
7 and 9 as observation wells. A pump was set in Well 5 at a depth of 502 ft.
The test was initiated on January 19, 2009. The test was planned to run for 24 hours, however
the generator stopped working after at least 11 hrs of pumping and the test was prematurely

terminated. Also, while the pump and datalogger were being removed from the well, the
datalogger unit became detached from the cable and fell to the bottom of the well. The data were
not retrievable for this report. Fortunately, enough data was obtained manually to determine the
well yield and drawdown and permit the calculation of aquifer transmissivity. The limitations of
duration and data density below what was expected are not considered to significantly impact the
results of the test.
Well 5 had an initial static water level of 58.59 Ii below top of casing. The test was started at
10:10 am. The water level reached maximum drawdown after less than 6 hours of pumping.
The pump cycled on and offfor the remainder of the test, producing water at an average rate of
approximately 0.8 gpm after 6 hours of pumping. The flow rate of the pump was set at
approximately 2.7 gpm, causing 3 minute pumping cycles and 7 minute recovery cycles.
Between 6 and 11 hours of pumping 176 gallons of water were pumped, averaging 0.59 gpm.
As before, using:
T = 2000 x SC where:
T = transmissivity (gpd/ft)
SC = Specific Capacity (gprn/ft ofdrawdown) = yield/drawdown
In this case, SC = 0.59 gpm/441 ft = 0.00133 gpm/ti of drawdown.
mad
T = 2000 x 0.00133 gpm/ii of drawdown -- 2.7 gpd/ft
Again, storativity of the aquifer is not possible to calculate with the drawdown data from only
the production well.
Well 9 testing. Aquifer testing was next performed using Well 9 as the pumped well and Wells
5 and 7 as observation wells. A pump was set in Well 9 at a depth of 302 ft. On January 21-22,
2009, a 24.75 hour aquifer test was conducted. Attachment B contains the water-level data
obtained.
The test was started at 11:43 am and the rate of pumping was set at 4 gpm based on the well
driller's estimate ora well yield of 5 gpm at the time of well construction. The water level
reached maximum drawdown after less than 8 hours of pumping. The pump cycled on and off
for the remainder of the test, producing water at an average rate ranging from 1.8 to 1.2 gpm near
the end of the test.
After pumping was stopped completely, the well recovered at an average rate of 1.2 gpm during
the first hour of recovery, confirming the yield of the aquifer.
Again, as before:
Evaluation of aquifers in the vicinity of Page 8 of 11 January 23, 2009
Aurora View Subdivision, Anchorage, Alaska
J. A. MUNTER CONSULTING~ INC.
T = 2000 x SC where:
T = transmissivity (gpd/ii)
SC = Specific Capacity (gpm/fi of drawdown) = yield/dmwdown
In this case, SC = 1.226 gpm/251 ft = 0.00488 gpm/It of drawdown.
and
T = 2000 x 0.00488 gpm/ti of drawdown = 9.8 gpd/Ii
The observation well data are also contained in Attachment B. Water levels in Well 5 rose
consistently as recovery from the recent flow test performed on that well. Examination of the
recovery trend shows no apparent changes that would be attributable to ptmaping at Well 9. The
water level in Well 7 exhibited a gradual decline of approximately 2.3 Ii during the test. This
indicates a very slight hydraulic connection in the aquifer tapped by the two wells.
Again, storativity of the aquifer is not possible to calculate with the drawdown data from only
the production well.
Drawdown Projections
Well 7. A Theis (1935) analysis was performed to estimate drawdown in surrounding wells
from pmnping Well 7 using the estimated value of transmissivity of 4.9 gpd/ii and an estimated
stomtivity of 0.0001, which is characteristic of confined aquifers. Using atypical domestic use
rote of 450 gpd, 22 fi of drawdown is calculated for the nearest well approximately 400 ft away
from Well 7 after 200 days of pumping.
Well 5. A Theis (1935) analysis was performed to estimate drawdown in surrounding wells
from pmnping Well 5 using the estimated value of transmissivity of 2.7 gpd/ft and an estimated
storativity of 0.0001, which is characteristic of confined aquifers. Using atypical domestic use
rate of 450 gpd, 22 fi of drawdown is calculated for the nearest well approximately 600 ft away
from Well 5 after 200 days of pumping.
Well 9. A Theis analysis was performed to estimate drawdown in surrounding wells from
pumping Well 9 using the estimated value of transmissivity of 9.8 gpd/ft and an estimated
storativity of 0.0001, which is characteristic of confined aquifers. Using a typical domestic use
rate of 450 gpd, 12 ft of dmwdown is calculated for the nearest well approximately 500 Ii away
from Well 9 after 200 days of pumping.
The calculations provided above assume that the aquifer is homogeneous and isotropic and no
recharge occurs. These assumptions are conservative because well data from surrounding wells
suggests that the estimated value oftransmissivity at the wells is lower than values estimated
from surrounding wells (median value = 16 gpd/ft; see above), suggesting that the aquifer is
generally more productive in the area than indicated by the tests performed. A more productive

J. A. MUNTER CONSULTING, INC
aquifer would show less drawdown at the distances used in the analyes, ail other factors being
equal. Also, the aquifer testing data suggest that closely spaced wells may not tap the same
fracture systems and therefore may not respond as readily to aquifer stress from pumping as a
Theis analysis would suggest. Finaily, as opposed to the model assumption, the bedrock aquifer
in this area likely receives recharge throughout the year from the overlying glacial soils. These
soils commonly have a water table perched on top of the bedrock surface that slowly leaks water
into the near-surface fractures of the aquifer. Thus, even with conservative calculation of 12 to
22 ft of drawdown, nearby wells are not likely to be adversely affected by the proposed pumping
of Wells 5, 7, or 9.
Summary of Findings
All wells in the Aurora View Subdivision are likely to tap a low-yield bedrock aquifer. Some
neighboring wells tap sand and gravel aquifers and these wells are unlikely to be affected by
pumping at Aurora View.
Separate testing of three new test wells at Aurora View shows similar low-yield bedrock aquifer
characteristics. All wells tested are adequate to meet Municipaiity of Anchorage requirements
for single family domestic u~sage. Monitoring of the wells showed almost no well interference
between the wells, suggesting that the wells all tap hydmuiically separate fracture systems in the
bedrock aquifer.
Interviews with agency personnel, reviews of well data files, and area-wide hydrologic anaiyses
show that water-level declines are not evident in the bedrock aquifer and that the local
hydrologic regime appears to be adequate to support existing and new water demands from wells
as proposed.
Calculations using conservative assumptions indicate that approximately 12 to 22 ft of
drawdown is possible at surrounding wells, however, the model assumptions are unlikely to be
realistic and the calculations can be loosely regarded as a worst-case scenario. The calculations
show that it is possible to have some amount of water level response in surrounding wells as a
result of pumping at the Aurora View Subdivision, however, a review of well logs shows that
most wells have more than 200 ft of available drawdown, indicating that such water-level
declines would not adversely affect the performance of area wells.
An important method of evaiuating whether wells are likely to be affected by the new pumping is
to consider the development history of the bedrock aquifer in the neighborhood. Inspection of
aerial photography shows that the surrounding area is developed with a similar housing density
and review of well records shows no apparent decline of water levels in wells. Therefore, since
the proposed new development represents only a small marginal increase in wells in the area, the
effects of the development are not expected to result in a significant change in historically stable
water-levels.

Conclusions
Three test wells drilled and pumped at Aurora View Subdivision were found to exceed MOA
standards for yielding water for typical single family residential use, which requires 150
gpd/bedroom.
II
Lot sizes in the Aurora View subdivision are consistent with surrounding development, which is
currently served successfully by on-site wells without apparent effect on local aquifer water
levels. Aquifer test results, calculations of the effects of future pumping, and area-wide
hydrologic analyses indicate that the effects of pumping from new wells on existing surrounding
wells will be insignificant and that the increased water use will not significantly affect
surrounding water users.
The construction of a stormwater retention basin in Aurora View Subdivision serves to retain
water on-site and enhance local groundwater recharge to the advantage of nearby wells.
