Pea Island Campground is part of Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area, and is located at the northern end of Hatteras Island, Dare County, North Carolina. The purpose of the ground-water investigation at the campground site was to determine the thickness, extent, and lithic character of the water-bearing formations and the movement, quantity, and chemical quality of the ground water. The information obtained will be used in determining the feasibility of expanding the present facilities at Pea Island Campground. The study was made at the request of the National Park Service as a part of the cooperative program between National Park Service and the U. S. Geological Survey to evaluate the ground-water supply of the recreational area. The field work for the report was done during the period from November 29, 1965 to January 21, 1966. Methods of investigation consisted of test drilling with a power auger, collecting lithic samples at 5-foot intervals, gamma-ray logging the holes, and collecting water samples in the most permeable water-bearing zones in each test hole. Preliminary yield and water-level measurements were made in each of the tested zones, and a pumping test was conducted in the most productive waterbearing formation.
