USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
465652094394701 HB-3 UMN Hydrogeology Field Site 0000825587
Glacial Buried Sand and/or Gravel
LOCATION - Lat 46°56'52.84", long 94°39'47.20" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, in N 1/4 NE 1/4 NE 1/4 sec.13, T.140 N., R.32 W., Hubbard County, MN, Hydrologic Unit 07010102, The well is located approximately 4.9 miles SE of Akeley, MN. The well is located in an open area in the forest, between Williams Lake and Crystal Lake. The well is located approximately 0.8 miles SW of the intersection of MN HWY 12 (Lower 10 Mile Lake Rd. NW) and 72nd Ave. NW.
GROUNDWATER RECORDS
WELL CHARACTERISTICS - Depth 223.66 ft. Upper casing diameter UPPERCASINGDIAMETER; top of first opening OPENTOPVALUE, bottom of last opening OPENBOTTOMVALUE. The hole for well HB-3 was drilled with an 6.2-inch-diameter, hydraulic rotary mud drill rig to a depth of 233.66 feet. The well is constructed of a 10.32-feet-long, 2.04-inch-diameter, schedule-40 stainless steel, 0.007-inch slotted, wire-wound, Johnson well screen, attached with threaded stainless steel couplings with length/s of 20.00 feet of 2.07-inch-diameter, schedule-40 black steel well casing. The well casing measuring point (stickup) was 2.23 feet (1455.26 ft. NAVD88, +/- 0.01 ft.) above land surface when measured on 18 July 2017. The open interval of the well is between 213.33 and 223.53 feet below land surface and the total well depth is 223.66 feet below land surface.

This well is open to the same confined aquifer from which nearby pumping pumping occurs once per year (July) during the University of Minnesota's Hydrogeology Field Camp.
DATUM - Land-surface datum is 1,453.03 ft above North American Vertical Datum of 1988. Measuring point: MEASURINGPOINT. The measuring point is a black mark on the top of the white PVC 2.07-inch well casing, which was 2.23 feet above land surface on 18 Jul. 2017. Elevation of the measuring point is 1455.26 plus-or-minus 0.01 feet above sea level, North American Vertical Datum of 1988, based on historical differential GPS data and an optical survey on 20 July 2017.
PERIOD OF RECORD -

Water levels were recorded periodically from 18 July 2017 to 11 October 2018. Water levels were recorded every 1-minute from 19 July 2017 at 16:55 CDT to 07 August 2017 at 17:58 CDT. Water levels were recorded hourly from 07 August 2017 at 19:00 CDT to 17 July 2018 at 16:00 CDT. Water levels were recorded quarter-hourly from 17 July 2018 at 16:15 CDT to 31 July 2018 at 13:51 CDT. Water levels were recorded hourly from 31 July 2018 at 14:00 CDT to 11 October 2018 at 08:00 CDT, except during the following periods:

18 Jul. 2017 at 16:55 CDT to 27 Jul. 2017 at 16:53 CDT: deleted due to WLs being affected by aquifer test pumping.

11 Sept. 2017 at 14:00-16:00 CDT: due to transducer removal from well during QW sampling.

21 Jul. 2018 at 15:58 CDT - 20 Jul. 2018 at 04:31 CDT: due to water level being affected by aquifer test at the site.

20 Jul. 2018 at 10:28 CDT - 24 Jul. 2018 at 05:50 CDT: due to water level being affected by aquifer test at the site.

GAGE -

Continuous water level, water temperature, and battery voltage were measured with an OTT Orpheus Mini 0-10m pressure transducer. These data were recorded hourly by the same OTT Orpheus Mini pressure transducer, which had a data logger built into it. The data logger was housed inside of the 2.07-inch steel well casing, which has an aluminum locking well cap on top the 6-inch black steel protection post. The gage was powered by 3 AA alkaline batteries that were inside of the data logger communications rod. Data were downloaded manually and no telemetry or phone line was wired into the gage.

The pressure transducer and data logger were removed from the well on 11 Oct. 2018 at 08:00 CDT. Data collection for the Confining Beds "phase 2" study have concluded and all data logging equipment have been removed from the sites.

COOPERATION - This site was operated (2017-2018) by the University of Minnesota as a monitoring well for the University of Minnesota Hydrogeology Field Site. The well was used as part of the Glacial Confining Beds Study during 18 Jul. 2017 to 11 Oct. 2018. The Confining Beds Study was a collaborative effort between the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, Iowa State University, Minnesota Geological Survey, and the U.S. Geological Survey.
