The American Ground Water Trust held ASR I on September 10, 2001, in Orlando. This program provided
exposure for the whole concept of Aquifer Storage Recovery and was a discussion opportunity for "environmental"
and "engineering" perspectives of ASR as a water management strategy. ASR II took place on January 7, 2002 in
Orlando and included sessions related to the treatment technology available for recharge water. In 2003, ASR III,
also held in Orlando, served to provide a technical and policy update across the spectrum of Florida's ASR issues.
This April 15-16 program in Tampa (ASR IV) is taking a different format. The Trust has teamed up with the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (Florida Geological Survey/ Hydrogeology Program) and the Hydrogeology
Consortium. The two-day ASR IV program will review the status of current ASR science and technology on day
one, and then relate the science to policy and management issues on day two. We hope attendees will be there for
both days, but recognizing time and budget constraints, the organizers have framed each day as "stand-alone" to
facilitate one day participation. ASR V will be held in Florida in 2005. Your comments on the evaluation sheets will
be helpful in guiding the Trust to select content and format.




The Tampa ASR IV Forum brings scientists, planners, water-resource managers, concerned citizens, etc...
together to share up-to-date information regarding challenges and successes of ASR implementation. There will be








technical presentations and panel discussions. The program is designed for exchange of ideas and opinion. The
critical mass of expertise focused on ASR for two days should provide an opportunity for an assessment of
technology trends and research needs for future ASR-related activities. The content of the presentations and an
edited transcript of the discussions will be prepared as a post forum publication that will be provided to all
registered participants in CD format.
ASR IV is a one-stop shop for the latest perspectives on an important emerging and ongoing issue. The
program has a Florida focus but the basic science, technology, management and policy issues have direct
relevance for ASR programs throughout North America and overseas.

water along with surface water and groundwater supplies.
Since 2002 Peter has chaired the International Association of Hydrogeologists Commission on Management of Aquifer Recharge, a Commission
that was motivated by Ivan Johnson, AIJ Consulting (Denver) (who also played a major role in developing ASCE Standard Methods for Artificial
Recharge). IAH-MAR is a group of hydrogeologists who as a professional service volunteer their efforts with the aim to expand water resources and improve
water quality in ways that are appropriate, environmentally sustainable, technically viable, economical, and socially desirable. It does this by encouraging









development and adoption of improved practices for management of aquifer recharge. This is being achieved by increasing awareness of MAR among IAH
members and the community, by facilitating international exchange of information between members (e.g. via a web page www.iah.org/recharge and an email
list), by disseminating results of research and practical experience (e.g. via workshops, training programs, conferences and a reference database), and by
undertaking joint projects and activities identified as important by its members (currently including publications on MAR strategies, creating an international
inventory of MAR, and collating and reviewing international regulations relating to MAR). (More volunteers welcome!) It has a particular interest in ensuring

POSTER PAPER ABSTRACTS


EFFECTS ON FLORIDAN AQUIFER WATER QUALITY IN EAST-CENTRAL FLORIDA FROM LONG-TERM
STORMWATER RECHARGE THROUGH WELLS A PROGRESS REPORT

Alan W. Aikens, CH2M Hill, 225 E. Robinson St., STE 505, Orlando, FL 32803

Management of stormwater through recharge wells is a practice in the Orlando, Florida area that has been employed and effective since the early 1900's.
Nearly 500 recharge wells were recently inventoried in Central Florida. The wells divert an estimated average of 30 to 50 million gallons per day of
stormwater to the Upper Floridan aquifer. The wells are of two types: direct urban runoff wells and lake-level control wells. The St. Johns River Water
Management District is sponsoring a program, with local cooperators, to quantify changes to chemical and microbial quality of groundwater resulting from this
practice. This is applicable to proposed aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) applications of surface water in the Floridan aquifer in that these recharge systems
have been in place and operating in the Orlando area for 50 to 100 years. Monitoring these systems will provide valuable insight to the potential success of
applying ASR to surface water management techniques.

The on-going project is at two sites, one for each type of recharge well system: Festival Park in Orlando -direct urban runoff, and Lake Orienta in Altamonte
Springs -lake-level control. The project has six phases: dry-period characterization (corresponding with a prolonged drought during the late 1990's), baseline
characterization, groundwater tracer test, operational characterization, enhanced treatment evaluation and possible implementation, enhanced treatment
effectiveness evaluation. Water flowing into the recharge wells and groundwater from monitoring wells is sampled for an extensive list of inorganic and
organic chemical parameters and selected microbes (bacteria, protozoa, and a virus).

This paper presents a progress report of the current results of the program.
To date, completed activities at Festival Park are the groundwater tracer test, baseline sampling, and four of the six operational characterization samplings.
Results for Festival Park indicate connection between a recharge well and two monitoring wells indicate rapid groundwater transport between these wells,
indicate 3 to 4 orders-of-magnitude reduction of coliform concentrations from the recharge well to the monitoring wells. This reduction occurs over distance
of 250 to 450 feet and a duration as short as two weeks. Very few detections of organic chemicals with no concentration greater than Maximum Contaminant
Levels were encountered. The inorganic chemical data indicate a shift in the character of the groundwater from the stormwater recharge. The potential for
mobilizing arsenic and other trace elements from the aquifer matrix is present. Site activities at Lake Orienta began January 2004 with the installation of the
four monitoring wells. Baseline sampling and a groundwater tracer test are scheduled for the summer of 2004. Operational characterization sampling is
scheduled from fall 2004 through spring 2005.









GEOPHYSICS AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY PROCESS

Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) has very many basic similarities, unknowns, and needs as compared with a variety of in situ processes that have been
investigated in the past. These include, among others, pumped storage, secondary and tertiary petroleum recovery (hydraulic fracturing, CO2 flooding, brine
flooding), and in situ combustion processes (coal gasification, oil shale retorting). A central concern to each of these as well as ASR is an accurate depiction of
how/where the process develops (process monitoring). Geophysical surveying techniques, principally methods relying on the electrical resistivity contrast
between native and stored waters, are viewed as the most probable means for mapping the shape and progress/growth of injected water during ASR activities.
Model studies are presented using typical ASR depths, formation (ambient) water and injected water resistivities, which indicate that electrical resistivity-based
surveys (e.g., controlled source audio magnetotelluric profiling [CSAMT] and transient electromagnetic sounding [TEM]) have the potential to track growth
and shape of the ASR injected waters.

The matrix permeabilities of approximately 1200 meters (m) of the Upper Floridan aquifer (UFA) in the southern SWFWMD area were measured
from cores in eight wells with a minipermeameter at one-foot intervals and classified by depositional texture. A wide range of lithologies ranging from
permeable grainstones to low-permeability high-mud packstones are present. The bulk of the intrinsic transmissivity is contributed from the grainstones and
dolostones, although they represent a minor percentage of the thickness of the aquifer.
We selected a 200-foot interval from the Suwannee Limestone as a representative section to study the effects of bed-scale, layered heterogeneity on
a theoretical Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) well. The wide range of permeabilities at the core scale was modeled with a highly discretized 2,, I I .
three-dimensional flow (MODFLOW) and solute-transport (MT3D) model to ascertain the distribution, storage, and recovery of injected water. The models
reveal that units of high permeability facilitate the depth of penetration of injected water into the aquifer. The domain of injected water is not at all like a
bubble, but instead much like a bottle brush. Taking into account the effects of buoyancy, which we did not do in this study here, one can easily picture the
inverted Christmas tree proposed by Missimer and associates for the geometry of the invaded domain.


THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PYRITE STABILITY AND ARSENIC MOBILITY DURING AQUIFER
STORAGE AND RECOVERY IN SOUTHWEST CENTRAL FLORIDA

Elevated levels of arsenic are common in water recovered from aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) systems that store oxygenated surface water in southwest
central Florida. Mineralogical investigations of the Suwannee Limestone, the preferred storage zone for ASR systems, have shown that the highest
concentrations of arsenic are associated with framboidal pyrite in zones of high moldic porosity.

This investigation employed geochemical modeling to examine the stability of pyrite in limestone during simulated injections of oxygenated surface water.
Injections were simulated for 20 wells with intervals in the Suwannee Limestone with known chemical composition. The goal was to determine if aquifer
redox conditions could be altered to the degree of pyrite instability. Increasing amounts of injection water were added to the formation water in a series of steps
and the resulting reaction paths were plotted on pyrite stability diagrams. The pre-mixing formation water in the wells plotted within the pyrite stability field
indicating that redox conditions were sufficiently reducing to allow for pyrite stability. Since arsenic is immobilized in pyrite, its concentration in the
formation water should be low. This was corroborated by actual analysis of arsenic in water samples; none of the 20 wells sampled had concentrations above
0.1 gg/1. During simulation, however, as the ratio of injection water to formation water increased, redox conditions became less reducing and pyrite became
unstable. As a result, arsenic would be released from the aquifer matrix. The simulation also showed that the ratio of injection water to formation water
necessary to cause pyrite instability was highly variable and seemed to be controlled by the chemical composition of the formation water.









ARSENIC AND AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA: SOURCE, ABUNDANCE,
AND MOBILIZATION MECHANISM, SUWANNEE LIMESTONE, UPPER FLORIDAN AQUIFER

Roy E. Price and Thomas Pichler, University of South Florida Geology Department 4202 East Fowler Ave SCA 532
Tampa, Fl 36620

Recent analyses of recovered water from two aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) facilities in west-central Florida showed arsenic concentrations in excess of
100 gg/L, more than 10-times the current EPA drinking water standard. Detailed mineralogical and chemical analyses of the Suwannee Limestone, the primary
storage zone for ASR in west-central Florida, indicates that, while arsenic is ubiquitous throughout the Suwannee Limestone, it is highly concentrated in
framboidal pyrite. Elevated levels of arsenic in pyrite were documented by scanning electron microscope and electron probe microanalysis with energy
dispersive and wavelength dispersive x-ray capabilities, respectively, showing greater than 1000 ppm arsenic. The pyrite containing the arsenic is normally
stable in the reducing environment of the aquifer, but the artificial recharge of oxidized surface water during ASR changes the redox conditions and is believed
to cause the framboidal pyrite to become unstable, thus releasing the arsenic.



AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY EXPERIMENTS IN THE LOWER HAWTHORN GROUP AQUIFER,
LEE COUNTY: PREVIOUS SIMULATIONS AND ILLUSTRATION OF A DUAL-POROSITY APPROACH

Eberhard Roeder, 6854 Hanging Vine Way, Tallahassee, Fl 32317

High recovery efficiency of aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) systems requires that the injected water interacts little with ground water in place. The
existence of preferential flow paths influences the extent of interaction between injected and resident water and thus can be expected to affect recovery
efficiency. Most past numerical models of ASR in Florida have considered preferential flow paths in the storage zone indirectly, by using a calibrated low
value for effective porosity, or as explanation for residual error. An alternative, the dual-porosity approach, divides aquifer porosity into a mobile fraction
wherein advective transport occurs and another stagnant or immobile fraction in which concentrations change in response to diffusive mass transfer from the
mobile fraction.

In this modeling study, I revisit the injection, storage and recovery experiments in the Lower Hawthorn Aquifer in Lee County described by Fitzpatrick (1986)
and illustrate differences between single and dual-porosity approaches. Quifones-Aponte and Wexler (1995) previously simulated these experiments using a
single-porosity approach with a version of SUTRA. The simulator used in this study to represent the density-dependent transport of Chloride in single and
dual-porosity aquifers is a slightly modified version of the compositional FDM simulator UTCHEM.



GUIDELINES FOR AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY REGULATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Catherine Shrier, Senior Water Resources Engineer, Golder Associates Inc., 44 Union Boulevard, Suite 300, Colorado
80228

Regulatory concerns and state and federal regulatory practices have been among the most pressing issues impacting the development of aquifer storage and
recovery (ASR) facilities in the United States. With at least 26 states having developed or investigated the development of ASR facilities, a wide range of
regulatory issues have been raised by state, federal, and some local or regional agencies. Issues have included the regulation of recharge and storage practices,
primarily to protect groundwater aquifers; recovery, treatment, and use of stored water, particularly for potable uses; and water rights or other water resources
management laws and programs. With multiple agencies involved in ASR regulation, several states have also investigated or implemented regulations to
streamline the permitting process. This paper reviews the major regulatory issues that have been considered in 20 states with operating or pilot ASR facilities,
as well as federal regulatory issues pertaining to ASR. This paper also highlights issues for regulatory agencies and water managers to consider for future ASR
facility development.



LATTICE BOLTZMANN MODELING FOR AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY SYSTEMS

Mike Sukop and Danny Thorne, Florida International University, Dept. of Earth Sciences, PC 344, 11200 SW 8th
Street, Miami, Fl 33199

Lattice Boltzmann models of fluid flow and solute transport readily handle several well-know and important challenges that limit the ability of Darcy's law-
based models to accurately simulate flows and solute transport in aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) systems. In particular, we simulate flows in any complex
cave/conduit/pore spaces over a broad range of Reynolds numbers leading to complex flow phenomena such as vortex streets that have never been
incorporated into ground water models but undoubtedly play a significant role in solute transport and the recovery of stored water -especially in karstic
aquifers. The principal strengths of lattice Boltzmann methods in these areas are the ease of incorporating the details of complex geometry and the direct
computation of Navier-Stokes flow solutions in the complex space. Solute transport is intimately coupled to the flows so that eddy diffusion, for example,
becomes an integral part of the transport process. Concentration-dependent density-driven flow is important in ASR systems and is a highly non-linear process
that has proven difficult to solve with standard finite element and finite difference approaches; lattice Boltzmann methods are at least as good as the most
advanced standard approaches and have numerical advantages that could make them far superior for these problems.

Florida ASR I, II, III and now ASR IV The American Ground Water Trust held ASR I on September 10, 2001, in Orlando. This program provided exposure for the whole concept of Aquifer Storage Recovery and was a di scussion opportunity for “environmental” and “engineering” perspectives of ASR as a water management strategy. ASR II took place on January 7, 2002 in Orlando and included sessions related to the treatment tec hnology available for recharge water. In 2003, ASR III, also held in Orlando, served to provide a technical and po licy update across the spectrum of Florida’s ASR issues. This April 15-16 program in Tampa (ASR IV) is taking a di fferent format. The Trust has teamed up with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Florida Geol ogical Survey/ Hydrogeology Program) and the Hydrogeology Consortium. The two-day ASR IV pr ogram will review the status of cu rrent ASR science and technology on day one, and then relate the science to policy and management i ssues on day two. We hope attendees will be there for both days, but recognizing time and budget constraints, the organizers have framed each day as “stand-alone” to facilitate one day participation. ASR V will be held in Flor ida in 2005. Your comments on the evaluation sheets will be helpful in guiding the Trust to select content and format. What is the ASR IV Forum All About? The Tampa ASR IV Forum brings scientists, planners, water-resource managers, concerned citizens, etc… together to share up-to-date information regarding chall enges and successes of ASR implementation. There will be

PAGE 5

American Ground Water Trust, Aquifer Storage Recovery Programs ASR IV Forum, Tampa, Florida, 2004 5 technical presentations and panel discussions. The progr am is designed for exchange of ideas and opinion. The critical mass of expertise focused on ASR for two day s should provide an opportunity for an assessment of technology trends and research needs for future ASR-related activities. The content of the presentations and an edited transcript of the discussions will be prepared as a post forum publication that will be provided to all registered participants in CD format. ASR IV is a one-stop shop for the latest perspecti ves on an important emerging and ongoing issue. The program has a Florida focus but the basic science, technology, management and policy issues have direct relevance for ASR programs thr oughout North America and overseas. Continuing Education Employee Development University is a learning partner with the Trust and 1.2 CEU credits are available for conference attendees who complete the sign-in and sign-out sheet at registration and who submit an evaluation form. [Visit www.e duniv.com for more information about this CEU program .] Lists will be available at registration. Signatures will be required for both days. One-day attendees will get 0.6 CEU credits.

POSTER PAPER ABSTRACTS EFFECTS ON FLORIDAN AQUIFER WATER QUALITY IN EAST-CENT RAL FLORIDA FROM LONG-TERM STORMWATER RECHARGE THROUGH WELLS A PROGRESS REPORT Alan W. Aikens, CH2M Hill, 225 E. Ro binson St., STE 505, Orlando, FL 32803 Management of stormwater through recharge wells is a practice in the Orlando, Florida area that has been employed and effective since the early 1900’s. Nearly 500 recharge wells were recently inve ntoried in Central Florida. The wells di vert an estimated average of 30 to 50 mill ion gallons per day of stormwater to the Upper Floridan aquifer. The wells are of tw o types: direct urban runoff wells and lake-level control wells. The St. Johns River Water Management District is sponsori ng a program, with local cooperators, to quantify changes to chemical and microbial quality of g roundwater resulting from this practice. This is applicable to proposed aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) applica tions of surface water in the Floridan aqui fer in that these recharge systems have been in place and operating in the Or lando area for 50 to 100 years. Monitoring th ese systems will provide valuable insig ht to the potential success of applying ASR to surface water management techniques. The on-going project is at two site s, one for each type of recharge well system: Festival Park in Orla ndo – direct urban runoff , and Lake Orienta in Altamonte Springs – lake-level control. The proj ect has six phases: dry-period characteri zation (corresponding with a prolonged drought during the late 1990’s), baseline characterization, groundwater tracer test, operational characterization, enhanced treatment evaluation and possible implementat ion, enhanced treatment effectiveness evaluation. Water flowing in to the recharge wells and groundwater from monitoring wells is sampled for an extens ive list of inorganic and organic chemical parameters and selected mi crobes (bacteria, protozoa, and a virus). This paper presents a progress report of the current results of the program. To date, completed activities at Festival Park are the groundwat er tracer test, baseline sampling, and four of the six operatio nal characterization samplings. Results for Festival Park indicate connection between a rechar ge well and two monitoring wells indicate rapid groundwater trans port between these wells, indicate 3 to 4 orders-of-magnitude reduction of coliform concentrations from the rech arge well to the monitoring wells. This reduction occurs over distance of 250 to 450 feet and a duration as short as two weeks. Very few detections of organic chemi cals with no concentration greate r than Maximum Contaminant Levels were encountered. The inorganic chemical data indicate a shift in the character of the groundwater from the stormwater r echarge. The potential for mobilizing arsenic and other trace elements from the aquifer matrix is present. Site activities at Lake Orienta began January 2004 with the installation of the four monitoring wells. Baseline sampling a nd a groundwater tracer test ar e scheduled for the summer of 2004. Operational char acterization sampling is scheduled from fall 2004 through spring 2005.

American Ground Water Trust, Aquifer Storage Recovery Programs ASR IV Forum, Tampa, Florida, 2004 13 GEOPHYSICS AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF TH E AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY PROCESS Thomas L. Dobecki (1) and Jennifer L. Hare (2) 1 SDII Global Corporation, 4509 George Road, Tampa, FL 33634 2 Zonge Engineering & Research, 3322 E. Ft. Lowell Rd. Tucson, AZ 85716 Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) has very many basic similar ities, unknowns, and needs as compared with a variety of in situ processes that have been investigated in the past. These include, among others, pumped storage, secondary and te rtiary petroleum recovery (hydraulic fr acturing, CO2 flooding, brine flooding), and in situ combustion processes (c oal gasification, oil shale retorting). A central concern to each of these as wel l as ASR is an accurate depiction of how/where the process develops (process monitoring). Geophysical surveying techniques, principally methods relying on the elec trical resistivity contrast between native and stored waters, are viewed as the most probable means for mapping the shape and progress/growth of injected w ater during ASR activities. Model studies are presented usi ng typical ASR depths, formation (ambient) water and injected water resistivities, which indicat e that electrical resistivity-based surveys (e.g., controlled source audio magnetotelluric profiling [CSAMT] and transient electromagnetic sounding [TEM]) have the potential to track growth and shape of the ASR injected waters. THE EFFECTS OF HETEROGENEITY OF THE U PPER FLORIDAN AQUIFER ON ASR SYSTEMS Bill Hutchings (1), Vacher, H.Len (2), and Budd, David (3) 1 HSA Engineers & Scientists, 4019 East Fowler Avenue, Tampa, FL 33617 2 Geology Department, University of South Florida, 4202 E. Fowler Ave., Tampa, FL 33620 3 Department of Geological Sciences, University of Colorado, Campus Box 250, Boulder, CO 80309-0250 The matrix permeabilities of approximately 1200 meters (m) of the Upper Floridan aquife r (UFA) in the southern SWFWMD area were measured from cores in eight wells with a minipermeameter at one-foot in tervals and classified by depositi onal texture. A wide range of lithologies ranging from permeable grainstones to low-permeability highmud packstones are present. The bulk of the intrinsic transmissivity is contrib uted from the grainstones and dolostones, although they represent a minor per centage of the thickness of the aquifer. We selected a 200-foot interval from the Suwannee Limestone as a representative section to study the effects of bed-scale, laye red heterogeneity on a theoretical Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) well. The wide range of permeabilities at the core scale was modeled with a hi ghly discretized (200-layer), three-dimensional flow (MODFLOW) and solute-transport (MT3D) mode l to ascertain the distribution, storage, and recovery of inje cted water. The models reveal that units of high permeability facilitate the depth of pene tration of injected water into the aquifer. The domain of i njected water is not at all like a bubble, but instead much like a bottle brush. Taking into account the effects of buoyan cy, which we did not do in this study h ere, one can easily picture the inverted Christmas tree proposed by Missimer and asso ciates for the geometry of the invaded domain. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PYRITE STABILITY AND ARSENIC MOBILITY DURING AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY IN SO UTHWEST CENTRAL FLORIDA Gregg Jones (1) and Thomas Pichler (2) 1 Southwest Florida Water Management District, 2379 Broad St. Brooksville Fl, 34609 2University of South Florida Geology Department 4202 East Fowler Ave SCA 532 Tampa, Fl 36620 Elevated levels of arsenic are common in water recovered from aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) systems that store oxygenated surface water in southwest central Florida. Mineralogical investigati ons of the Suwannee Limestone, the preferred storage zone for ASR systems, have shown that the highest concentrations of arsenic are associated with fr amboidal pyrite in zones of high moldic porosity. This investigation employed geochemical m odeling to examine the stability of pyrite in limestone during simulated injections of oxygenated surface water. Injections were simulated for 20 wells with intervals in the Suwannee Limestone with known chemical composition. The goal was t o determine if aquifer redox conditions could be altered to the degree of pyrite instability. Increasing amounts of injection water were added to the formation water in a series of steps and the resulting reaction paths were plotte d on pyrite stability diagrams . The pre-mixing formation water in the wells plotted within the pyrite stability field indicating that redox conditions were suffici ently reducing to allow for pyrite stability . Since arsenic is immobilized in pyr ite, its concentration in the formation water should be low. This was corroborated by actual analysis of arsenic in water samples; none of the 20 wells samp led had concentrations above 0.1 µg/l. During simulation, however, as the ratio of injection water to formati on water increased, redox conditions became le ss reducing and pyrite became unstable. As a result, arsenic would be released from the aquife r matrix. The simulation also s howed that the ratio of injecti on water to formation water necessary to cause pyrite instability was hi ghly variable and seemed to be controlled by the chemical composition of the format ion water.

Price and Thomas Pichler, University of South Florida Geology Department 4202 East Fowler Ave SCA 532 Tampa, Fl 36620 Recent analyses of recovered water from two aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) facilities in west -central Florida showed arseni c concentrations in excess of 100 µg/L, more than 10-times the current EPA drinking water standa rd. Detailed mineralogical and chemical analyses of the Suwan nee Limestone, the primary storage zone for ASR in west-central Florida, indicates that , while arsenic is ubiquitous throughout the Suwannee Limestone, it is highly concentrated in framboidal pyrite. Elevated levels of arsenic in pyrite were documented by scanning electron mi croscope and electron probe micr oanalysis with energy dispersive and wavelength disper sive x-ray capabilities, respectively, showing gr eater than 1000 ppm arseni c. The pyrite contai ning the arsenic is normally stable in the reducing environment of the aquifer, but the artificial recharge of oxidized surface water during ASR changes the redox conditions and is believed to cause the framboidal pyrite to become unstable, thus releasing the arsenic. AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY EXPERIMENTS IN THE LOWER HAWTHORN GROUP AQUIFER, LEE COUNTY: PREVIOUS SIMULATIONS AND I LLUSTRATION OF A DUAL-POROSITY APPROACH Eberhard Roeder, 6854 Hanging Vine Way, Tallahassee, Fl 32317 High recovery efficiency of aquifer storage and recovery (A SR) systems requires that the inj ected water interacts little with g round water in place. The existence of preferential flow paths influen ces the extent of interaction between inject ed and resident water and thus can be e xpected to affect recovery efficiency. Most past numerical models of ASR in Florida have considered preferentia l flow paths in the storage zone indirectl y, by using a calibrated low value for effective porosity, or as explana tion for residual error. An alternative, the dual-porosity approach, divides aquife r porosity into a mobile fraction wherein advective transport occurs and anothe r stagnant or immobile fraction in which concentrations change in response to diff usive mass transfer from the mobile fraction. In this modeling study, I revisit the injection, storage and rec overy experiments in the Lower Hawthorn Aquifer in Lee County d escribed by Fitzpatrick (1986) and illustrate differences between single a nd dual-porosity approaches. Quiñones-Aponte and Wexler ( 1995) previously simulated these experiments using a single-porosity approach with a version of SUTRA. The simulator used in this study to represent the density-dependent transpor t of Chloride in single and dual-porosity aquifers is a slightly modified ve rsion of the compositional FDM simulator UTCHEM. GUIDELINES FOR AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVE RY REGULATION IN THE UNITED STATES Catherine Shrier, Senior Water Resources Engineer, Golder Associates Inc., 44 Union Boulevard, Suite 300, Colorado 80228 Regulatory concerns and state and federal re gulatory practices have been among the most pressing issues impacting the developme nt of aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) facilities in the United States. With at least 26 states having develope d or investigated the development of AS R facilities, a wide range of regulatory issues have been raised by state, federal, and some local or regional agencies. Issues have included the regulation of recharge and storage practices, primarily to protect groundwater aquifers; recovery, treatment, and use of stored water, particularly for potable uses; and wat er rights or other water resources management laws and programs. With multiple agencies involved in ASR regulation, several states have also investigated or impl emented regulations to streamline the permitting process. This pape r reviews the major regulatory issues that have been considered in 20 states with operating or pilot ASR facilities, as well as federal regulatory issues pertai ning to ASR. This paper al so highlights issues for regul atory agencies and water ma nagers to consider for future ASR facility development. LATTICE BOLTZMANN MODELING FOR AQUIFER STORAGE AND RECOVERY SYSTEMS Mike Sukop and Danny Thorne, Florida International Univ ersity, Dept. of Earth Sciences, PC 344, 11200 SW 8th Street, Miami, Fl 33199 Lattice Boltzmann models of fluid flow and solute transport r eadily handle several well-know and important challenges that limi t the ability of Darcy’s lawbased models to accurately simulate flows a nd solute transport in aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) systems. In particular, we simulate flows in any complex cave/conduit/pore spaces over a broad range of Reynolds numbers leading to complex flow phenomena such as vortex streets that h ave never been incorporated into ground water models but undoubt edly play a significant role in solute transport and the recovery of stored wa ter – especially in karstic aquifers. The principal strengths of latti ce Boltzmann methods in these areas are the ease of incorporating the details of comp lex geometry and the direct computation of Navier-Stokes flow solutions in the complex space. Solute transport is intimately c oupled to the flows so that e ddy diffusion, for example, becomes an integral part of the transport process. Concentration-dependent density-dri ven flow is important in ASR systems and is a highly non-linear process that has proven difficult to solve with standard finite elemen t and finite difference approaches; lattice Boltzmann methods are at least as good as the most advanced standard approaches and have numerical advantages that could make them far superior for these problems. end -
