Results of a study to determine the effects of channel dredging on groundwater quality in the Pliocene-Miocene aquifer at Cumberland Island National Seashore. Includes introduction to the project (purpose and scope, description of study area, climate); previous work; geologic framework (geomorphology, regional island geology, local geology); methods of investigation (surface geophysics, well drilling methods, borehole geophysics, grain size analysis, aquifer test); analysis of surface geophysics and well site location; hydrogeologic framework (Miocene sand aquifer, Pliocene-Miocene aquifer, surficial aquifer, aquifer interaction, analytical model, aquifer test, potential for seawater encroachment due to channel dredging); conclusions; and recommendations for future work.
