1. INTRODUCTION
This Directory is intended to foster communication with appropriate scientists and
engineers throughout EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) and EPA, state, and
local personnel involved in the protection and management of ground-water resources. In
addition to listing ORD researchers by location and subject matter, the Directory provides brief
organizational descriptions of the ground-water research programs for each office. These
organizational descriptions may aid in locating assistance in areas not covered by the subject
indices. Chapter 6 contains an annotated bibliography of selected ground-water publications
considered to be essential references for permitting and other regulatory personnel.
ORD's ground-water research program, reflecting the information needs of EPA's operating
programs, consists of five elements:
Source control. Control of discharges, leaks, and other surface and underground
contaminant sources to prevent ground-water contamination, including regulated hazardous
waste disposal sites, unregulated dump sites, underground tanks, and accidental spills.
Transport and fate. The physical movement of ground water in the saturated and
unsaturated zones and also the change in ground-water quality either through natural
degradation or differential transport rates.
Monitoring. Well-placement and sampling of the subsurface environment to locate and
characterize potential or known ground-water contamination.
On-site and in-situ aquifer cleanup. Restoring a polluted aquifer through physical removal,
chemical treatment, and enhanced biodegradation.
Technical assistance and technology transfer. Preparation and dissemination of information
about current research to decision makers, field managers, the regulated communities, and
the scientific community.
EPA derives its statutory authority to protect ground water from the Clean Water Act,
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (Superfund), the
Safe Drinking Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Hazardous and Solid
Waste Amendments of 1984, and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986.
In response to these broad statutory mandates, in 1984 EPA's Office of Ground-Water Protection
developed a Ground-Water Protection Strategy to give the Agency's program a focus and
direction. It has four components:
Short-term build-up of institutions at the state level.
Assessment of problems that may exist from unaddressed sources of contamination including
leaking storage tanks, surface impoundments, and landfills.
Issuance of guidelines for ground-water protection and cleanup.
Strengthening EPA's organization to improve ground-water management at the headquarters
and regional levels and EPA's cooperation with Federal and state agencies.
The scientists and engineers listed in this Directory conduct or manage research,
development, demonstration, and technical assistance projects to support the regulatory programs
of the Office of Water, the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, and the Office of
Pesticides and Toxic Substances. To ensure cross-office integration of research programs, ORD
designated a Ground-Water Research Matrix Manager to coordinate ORD, Program Office, and
Regional input on issues and priorities in the areas of prediction, monitoring, and cleanup. The
-------
Matrix Manager supplements the Water and Hazardous Waste/Superfund Research Committees,
which advise the Assistant Administrator for Research and Development on research and budget
priorities.
Before calling technical assistance contacts listed in this Directory, interested persons
should first become familiar with relevant publications listed in Chapter 6.

OVERVIEW
EPA Ground-Water Research Programs. EPA/600/8-86/004, PB86 212-552, April 1986. CERI.
A description of EPA's role in ground-water research and current EPA research in five
major areas of concern: source control, prediction, monitoring, aquifer cleanup, and
information transfer and technical assistance. The specific roles of various EPA branches
and laboratories in ground-water research are discussed along with future research
directives.
Protection of Public Water Supplies from Ground-Water Contamination. EPA/625/4-85/016, PB86
168-358, September 1985. CERI.
Material from a series of technology transfer seminars designed to help the water-supply
community prevent contamination and treat previously contaminated water supplies. There
is a good description of basic ground-water hydrology as well as sections dealing with
classification of ground-water regions, ground-water and surface-water relationships,
ground-water pollution, management alternatives, controlling volatile organic compounds
in ground water used for drinking, and in-situ treatment, restoration and reclamation of
ground water.
Underground Waste Management and Environmental Implications. T.D. Cook, Ed. Amer. Assoc.
Petroleum Geol. 1972.
A collection of papers from the Symposium on Underground Waste Management and
Environmental Implications held in Houston, Texas, December 6-9, 1971. The papers
discuss the volume of wastes being disposed underground, the techniques of underground
disposal, the effects of mistakes and accidents and the ability to recognize and avoid
mistakes and recover from accidents, the role of regulatory agencies, and the costs of
various underground disposal methods.
Water Well Technology. M.D. Campbell and J.H. Lehr. National Water Well Association, 1982.
A basic compendium of all of the salient features of water well technology. It is a
complete review of the water well industry including exploratory drilling, development of
production wells for industrial, municipal, and individual domestic water supplies, water
quality, and treatment of drilling contaminants.
Handbook of Applied Hydrology: A Compendium of Water Resources Technology. V.T. Chow, Ed.
McGraw-Hill, 1964.
An interdisciplinary handbook covering hydrology and water-resources technology.
Information comes under four major groupings dealing with: the closely related sciences
upon which hydrology depends; various phases of the hydrologic cycle and phenomena;
practice and application of hydrology in various fields; and some socio-economic aspects of
hydrology, including planning, policy, and law.
Ground-Water Hydraulics. S.W. Lohman, Geological Survey Professional Paper 708, 1972.
A basic textbook for working professionals covering all subjects of concern in ground-
water hydraulicsthe natural or induced movement of water through permeable geologic
- 44 -
-------
formations. The principal method of analysis in ground-water hydraulics is the applica-
tion, generally by field tests of discharging wells, of equations derived for particular
boundary conditions. Topics discussed include unsaturated zone testing, aquifer testing,
and confined and unconfined conditions.
MONITORING
Methods for Determining Permeability, Transmissibility, and Drawdown. R. Bentall, Geological
Survey Water-Supply Paper 1536-1, 1963.
Suggestions for correcting drawdown measurements analyzed by the Theis graphical
method; remarks pertaining to Wenzel's limiting formula, gradient formula, and the
recovery method; a formula for corrections to be applied if wells used for aquifer tests
tap less than the full thickness of the aquifer; formulas for the determination of aquifer
constants from water-level data obtained when a well is bailed or a slug of water is
injected into a well; analyses of the effects of cyclic fluctuations of the water level, the
pumping rate, or the pumping interval; and methods relating the specific capacity of a
well to the aquifer coefficient of transmissibility.
Theory of Aquifer Tests. J.G. Ferris, D.B. Knowles, R.H. Brown, and R.W. Stallman, Geological
Survey Water-Supply Paper 1536-E, 1962.
Survey of developments in fluid mechanics that apply to ground-water hydrology. The
origin, occurrence, and motion of ground water in relation to the development of
terminology and analytic expressions for selected flow systems. Emphasis is on concepts,
principles, and the delineating limits of applicability of mathematical models for analyzing
flow systems in the field. The importance of the geologic variable and its role in
governing the flow regimen is stressed.
Specific Yield--Compilation of Specific Yields for Various Materials. A.I. Johnson, Geological
Survey Water-Supply Paper 1662-D, 1967.
A compendium of excerpts from selected reports that present and evaluate methods for
determining specific yield, limitations of those methods, and results of the determinations
made on a wide variety of rock and soil materials. Although no particular values are
recommended in this report, it does summarize values of specific yield and their averages
determined for 10 rock textures.
Underground Tank Leak Detection Methods: A State-of-the-Art Review. EPA/600/2-86/001,
PB86 137-155, January 1986.
A discussion of 36 leak detection methods for underground storage tanks used primarily
for gasoline and other liquid petroleum fuels. The emphasis is on volumetric and non-
volumetric leak detection methods. General engineering comments are provided for each
method and there is a discussion of variables that may affect the accuracy of each
method.

Practical Guide for Ground-Water Sampling. EPA/600/2-85/104, PB86 137-304, September 1985
CERI.
Detailed information on how to conduct a ground-water sampling program. Topics covered
include: sampling frequency and analytical detail required for assessment of monitoring
data sets; well placement, construction and design; well development, performance, main-
tenance, and purging strategies; and sampling mechanisms and collection. There are also
recommended protocols for various types of sampling and discussions of associated errors.
"Sorption of Organics by Monitoring Well Construction Materials." A.L. Sykes, R.A.
McAllister, and J.B. Homolya, Ground Water Monitoring Review, 6(4):44-47, Fall 1986.
A study of the effect of well-casing material (PVC, teflon, or stainless steel) on the
sorption of volatile organic hydrocarbons found in contaminated groundwater. It also
considers the sampling and storage stabilities of these contaminants for periods up to nine
days. Results showed no significant differences in sorption between casing materials, but
did find that length of storage resulted in some variability.
"Underground Storage Tank Monitoring: Observation Well Based Systems." R.A. Scheinfeld, J.B.
Robertson, and T.G. Schwendeman, Ground Water Monitoring Review, 6(4):49-55, Fall 1986.
A discussion of the currently available leak-detection monitoring systems that can be used
with the three main types of observation wells: ground-water observation wells, vapor
wells and U-tubes. Seven types of liquid hydrocarbon detectors and six types of
hydrocarbon vapor detectors are described.
"The Effect of Sampling Frequency on Ground Water Quality Characterization." R. Rajagopal,
Ground Water Monitoring Review, 6(4):65-73, Fall 1986.
Nitrate levels in Quaternary aquifers and fluorides and sulfates in Cambro-Ordovician
aquifers in Iowa were studied to determine the relationship between sampling frequency
and the reliability of the information obtained. Since many of the distribution curves for
chemicals in ground water are positively skewed, a broader perspective of the distribution
of chemicals in the ground water could be obtained by studying a spectrum of parameters.
Using these parameters enabled close estimation of nitrates, fluorides, and sulfates in
selected aquifers with as few samples as 50, 100, or 250.
"The Use of Industrial Hygiene Samplers for Soil-Gas Surveying." H.B. Kerfoot and C.L. Mayer,
Ground Water Monitoring Review, 6(4):74-78, Fall 1986.
A description of soil-gas surveying using a passive sampler, which allows quantitative
determination of concentration of volatile organic compounds and remote analysis of
samples. Use of this sampler above a chloroform ground-water plume is compared to
results obtained through ground-water analysis and from a previous soil gas study above
the same plume. Chloroform concentrations measured with passive samplers correlate well

November 1985.
An investigation of aqueous nonionic surfactants for cleaning soil contaminated with PCBs,
petroleum hydrocarbons, and chlorophenol. Contaminant removal from the soil was 92%
for PCBs, and 93% for petroleum hydrocarbons. While these results are an order of
magnitude greater than obtained with water alone, the inability to separate the surfactants
from the contaminants for reuse would render the process uneconomical for field applica-
tion. Future work should investigate the use of other surfactants that may be more
amenable to separation.
