ISUBJ: Receive Draft of Preliminary Water Supply Investigation
Report for Well Siting, Authorize Pump Testing for
Wells 2 and 3
IFile No. 89-4
Attached is a draft preliminary water supply investigation report
I prepared by Bruce Liesch Associates. The document is in draft
form at this time by necessity; awaiting pump testing results for
wells #2 and #3. By obtaining this testing information at this
I point, the preliminary study can further define our options for
developing wells #2 or #3 to assist in well design and defining
maximum pump capabilities for these wells. The cost for this
test pumping is estimated to be $5 , 000 to $7 ,000 .
IThe report presents a very concise review of the City ' s hydro-
geology. It basically concludes that the City is relatively rich
I in groundwater capabilities , although there is a geological
transformation from east to west across the area which needs to
be recognized in siting of future wells . The initial interest in
the report, aside from the obvious interest in expanding our well
I capacity, was to seek alternative aquifers to diversify the
City ' s source of groundwater. This I hold as still a goal as we
continue to develop future groundwater resources in the City and
I the report does show some potential glacial drift areas in figure
3 that will be kept in mind for future siting.
I The most expeditious and cost-effective approach to adding addi-
tional pumping capacity to our system appears to be upgrading
well #3 . In the interest of providing a little bit more direc-
tion in this endeavor , it is my recommendation that pump testing
I be conducted at wells #2 and #3 to better define our options for
maximizing our current facilities at these locations. I am
encouraged by the preliminary data review which indicates that
I both of these wells appear to have capacities in excess of 66
gallons per minute per foot of drawdown. If this parameter holds
true, pumping rates of 1600 to 1800 gallons per minute may be
possible at well #3 which would be an increase of 60% over its
II current delivery. It is therefore recommended that pump testing
of wells #2 and #3 be authorized in the amount not to exceed $7 ,000 .

Introduction
II J
A review of available data was conducted to determneYthe various
II;
options and feasibility of adding an additional water well to the
City of Chanhassen ' s municipal system. The review included an
evaluation of current ground water use, glacial drift and bedrock
hydrogeology and city expansion plans . The investigation included
I i a search of public and private well data within the City of
r Chanhassen. Locations and driller' s logs for wells reviewed in
' this report are identified on Figure 4 and in the appendices,
respectfully. Sources for existing information, include the
Minnesota Geological Society (MGS ) , Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources (DNR ) , the City of Chanhassen, and the files of Bruce A.
Liesch Associates, Inc. (Liesch) .
I
Hydrogeology
The City of Chanhassen is underlain by a variable sequence of
glacial drift. This glacial drift is a result of
the Wisconsin
glaciation, specifically the Des Moines lobe . The majority of the
City is primarily underlain by glacial till while the far eastern
border is underlain by deposits of sand and gravel outwash and
terrace sands . According to the well logs, the glacial deposits
in Chanhassen extend from the surface to depths ranging from 146
to 437 feet. This 291-foot range in depth is a result of both
surface topography and bedrock relief. The glacial till deposits
consist of an unsonted mixture of sand, silt and clay with some
gravel and cobbles. These sediments have been deposited by glacial
ice and are typically low permeability formations which function
as aquitards restricting the movement of groundwater and confining
deeper aquifers.
I

I •
R
Deposits of glacial outwash consist of sand and grave, J �ch has I
., been deposited by glacial meltwater. The action of the /glacial
meltwater serves to sort these deposits which often occur as narrow
II
I1 sinuous bands of highly permeable aquifer material . In areas where
-I' the glacial deposits are underlain by relatively easily eroded
bedrock, the glacial meltwater has often eroded the bedrock surface I
forming valleys which have subsequently been filled with a variety
-, of materials which can include glacial outwash. This situation II I - often makes these buried bedrock valleys favorable locations for
f' drift aquifer development within the Twin Cities area. I
tY
..�-, The bedrock formations, underlying the glacial deposits, consist
All of a sequence of I
q paleozoic sedimentary units composed of sandstone,
shale, limestone and dolomite. These formations occur in
II
relatively horizontal layers which, within the City of Chanhassen,
have been eroded with the younger or more recent formations
'� occurring in the northeastern II
_v
portion of the City. The bedrock
surface drops stratigraphically towards the southwest such that
I progressively older formations are exposed beneath the glacial 1
J drift in this direction. A generalized stratigraphic column
illustrating the relative position of each formation has been
II
included as Figure 2 .
1 The St. Peter Sandstone , the most recent bedrock formation reported I
u
ported
in Chanhassen, is present only in the northeastern corner of the
City. This formation is a light-gray, massively bedded sandstone. II
It is a well sorted, medium grained, poorly cemented quartzose
II1 sandstone . The St. Peter Formation reportedly reaches up to 173 '
thick in the northeastern portion of Chanhassen.

The next unit in descending order is the Prairie .DU '-Qhien group.
' The Prairie Du Chien is present in most of Chanhassen/ in varying
' thickness. The Prairie Du Chien is reported up to 92 feet thick
in the northeast section of the City and has been eroded away
completely in the western and southern portions . This area has
' been shown on Figure 3 .
The Prairie Du Chien group consists of the Shakopee Formation and
the Oneonta Dolomite. The Shakopee Formation is a thin to thick
bedded, buff colored sandstone which is silt and sand rich. Thin
sandstone beds occur near the base . The Oneonta Dolomite is a thin
to thick bedded, medium grained, buff colored dolostone .
The Jordan Sandstone lies below the Prairie Du Chien. The Jordan
' Sandstone is present without the Prairie Du Chien only in a small
band along the northwestern boundary and the southwestern diagonal
' of the City. The Prairie Du Chien Dolomite acts as a protective
cap to the easily eroded Jordan Sandstone . The Jordan Sandstone
' is a light gray, massively bedded, medium to coarse grain quartzose
sandstone which is well sorted and poorly cemented. The Jordan is
reported in thicknesses ranging from 90 ' to 132 ' within the City
of Chanhassen.
The combined Prairie Du Chien - Jordan aquifer is the most widely
utilized source of groundwater supply in the area. Of the two
units, the Jordan Sandstone has the greater porosity, while the
Prairie Du Chien group can also provide high yields . These
' formations are generally considered to function as a single
hydraulic unit due to the lack of an effective confining layer.
' The permeability of the Prairie Du Chien is primarily a result of
fractures, fissures and solution cavities occurring within the
dolomite.

The St. Lawrence Formation, the next descending unit,°. exists as the
I
top bedrock unit along the middle eastern border and across the
„ southern portion of the City. In these areas the overlying Jordan, II
APrairie Du Chien, and St. Peter Formations have been eroded away.
The St. Lawrence Formation is a gray to tan, silty or sandy
dolostone . This formation serves as a semi-confining layer that II
separates the Prairie Du Chien - Jordan from underlying formations.
The St. Lawrence Formation ranges in thickness from 30 to 40 feet I
a
within the City.
II
i The -next significant hydrogeologic unit is a somewhat variable
sequence of shaley sandstones including the Franconia, Ironton and I
-i Galesville sandstones. In combination, these formations are
capable of supplying relatively small to moderate quantities of
i
II
water. The only locations for which information is available is
at Chanhassen City Well #4 and Chaska City Well #6 (Section 5 ) .
IIAt Chanhassen City Well #4 the Franconia, Ironton and Galesville
sandstones group is 230 ' thick. At Chaska City Well #6 , in
combination, these three units are 234 ' thick. I
1 The next unit in descending order is the Eau Claire Formation. I
This unit generally consists of fine to medium grain silty
sandstone and shale. The formation is reportedly 103 feet thick
IIat Chaska City Well #6 . The Eau Claire formation serves as an
effective confining layer between the Franconia-Ironton-Galesville
and underlying Mount Simon-Hinckley Aquifers .
1 The Mt. Simon and Hinckley Sandstone combine to form the deepest I
t
major aquifer in the area. The Mt. Simon-Hinckley is not as
l heavily utilized in the Twin Cities and surrounding area as the I
Prairie Du Chien-Jordan because of lower transmission
characteristics, greater pumping lifts, and increased construction II
costs . Generally, moderate yields are available from the Mt.
Simon-Hinckley. This aquifer is being considered and utilized more
II

JI
. .
.ii. _
I
li /frequently in areas where contamination of shallower sou2•cas has
occurred and where competition for groundwater near heavy pumping
IIcenters has created excessive interference between wells .
Below the Hinckley Formation lies a thick sequence of PreCambrian
IIclassics known as the Fond du Lac Formation. The Fond du Lac and
deeper formations are not generally utilized for groundwater
Isupply.
Area Ground Water Use
IIGround water use within the City of Chanhassen includes
domestic
supply, public supply for parks, irrigation and municipal water
11 1 supply. The Department of Natural Resources reports that 12 wells
I lk, ra ermitted for high capacity use within the City of Chanhassen.
I Five f these wells are operated by the City. Within the City, the
Iii ■PPrai ie Du Chien-Jordan aquifer is the major source of groundwater
supply for all wells. In areas where these formations have been
1�T substantially eroded either deeper bedrock formations or shallower
il . • drift formations may be utilized.
II At this time groundwater withdrawals within the City appear
relatively light and from a yield standpoint should not restrict
the placement of additional wells within the Prairie Du Chien-
.
ilJordan Aquifer. Information regarding potential yields from
additional bedrock aquifers and the glacial drift sources is
limited owing to minimal usage.

Existing City Wells `, II
The majority of the wells drilled within the City of Chanhassen are
for domestic and small business use; thus, low capacity wells. Of II
the 69 well logs obtained from the Minnesota Geological Society, I
only 12 wells are permitted high capacity well . Fiv of those
wells are owned and operated by the City o nhassen for
municipal water supply. u3 of the city wells are used in the
I
municipal system while we 1 number/ is a "standby" well located

' Water level records, provided by the City of Chanhassen, were also
reviewed as part of this investigation. The records for wells 2 ,
' 3 and 4 suggests that all three wells are finished in highly
productive segments of the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan Aquifer. Wells
' 2 and 3 demonstrate 12 to 15 feet of drawdown at pumping rates of
approximately 1 , 000 gallons per minute ( gpm) . The specific
' capacity of a well may be expressed in terms of gallons per minute
per foot of drawdown ( gpm/ft. ) . The specific capacity for wells
2 and 3 is in excess of 66 gpm/ft. Well 4 demonstrates more
' 7
1
r ,
1
drawdown at 950 gpm resulting in a specific capacity of II
"" approximately 30 gpm/ft. after
pumping for two hours. The records
for Well 4 also suggest II
ggest that water levels continue to decline as
4 pumping continues. Well construction records for Well 4 suggest
that the observed decrease in specific capacity may be related to
a limited thickness of Prairie Du Chien formation at the well site II.
z The pumping records suggest that Well 3 could be �" I
- 4 operated at a
higher pumping rate . A static water level of 170 feet and an inner
y casing depth of 319 feet results in maximum available drawdown in II
excess of 100 feet with the
pump set near the bottom of the 16-inch
inner casing. Currently only a fraction of the available drawdown Af I
- ; is utilized. The actual additional drawdown is utilized. The
_ § actual additional quantity of water which may be available from II
_z
Well 3 will largely depend on the size and type of pumping
equipment which may safely be operated in the well based on casing
I
diameter and well alignment. Pumping rates of 1600 to 1800 gpm may
be possible at Well 3.
1
x
f The productive section of the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan aquifer near
Wells 2 and 3 also suggest the possibility that additional wells II
could be installed in the vicinity of existing wells . Mote
detailed pumping test data would be necessary to accuratel y predict II
- the magnitude of interference between existing and proposed wells
at given distances.
I
Conclusions and Discussion II
Several sources of groundwater supply have potential for further II
development within the City of Chanhassen. Factors which will
determine which of these options are more favorable include the I
desired area for expansion of the supply (based on development
trends ) , time frame for development additional sources, required I

amount of water and desire to diversity sources as well as
additional factors related to the hydrogeology of the area. These
include actual available water quality and quantity from each
potential source and the related well construction and operating
costs .
,
The following options have been identified under this
investigation:
A) Increase the capacity of existing Well 3 .
B ) Construction of Additional Prairie Du Chien-Jordan Well ( s ) .
C ) Investigation and development of glacial drift sources .
D ) Investigation and development of deeper bedrock sources.
Discussion
A) Increasing the capacity of the existing Well 3 may be the
JIquickest way of increasing the quantity of water available to
i
the city. The feasibility of this option depends on the
11 ability of the well to accommodate higher capacity pumping
equipment in addition to the well hydraulics. The water level
readings provided by the city in combination with the geologic
log suggests that additional capacity may be available . To
more, fully define the feasibility of this option a short term
`, pumping test should be conducted a* W - = - If the
�_ pumping
test results are favorable , the existing pumping equipment
should be removed, well and casing depths measured and a
plumA9ness and alignment test conducted to determine maximum
II pump intake depths and the maximum size of pump bowls and
column which may be installed in the well .

I B ) Review of the hydrogeologic information for the area as weiii. II
4 as the water level data for Well 2 and 3 suggests tha ' ,\
��
additional Prairie Du Chien-Jordan wells could be constructed '
1
within the northeastern portion of the city. Figure 3
illustrates the general area, based on available data, where
II
i a Prairie Du Chien-Jordan well may be considered as the areas
labelled OSTP and OPDC . The Prairie Du Chien formation has
IIapparently been eroded along the western and southern
boundaries of the city and as such these areas would not be
- suitable. Even within the area where the Prairie Du Chien II
occurs as the first bedrock formation irregularities in this
• surface could adversely affect waled-e-v-e-1-apn�. Owing to the
I
favorable characteristics o - Wells 2 and 3, i appears as
though an additional well or wells could be develloped within A2 II
the vicinity of these well - . Pumping tests coulee//be conducted -fits
at these wells to assist in determining ell design and
acceptable well spacing. II
While developing additional Prairie Du Chien-Jordan well s /'
will not diversify the city' s source of
groundwater, this
• option has the advantage of known yields and water quality as I
observed at the existing city wells. DevelopmentPn
additional well near an existing well would require a minimal I
amount of exploration and investigative costs.
iv fo
II
C ) Figure 3 shows four general areas where the availablejsuggests
that glacial drift wells could potentially be developed as a
source of groundwater supply. Glacial drift formations can I
be highly variable and potential well sites should be
thoroughly investigated through the use of appropriate I
geophysical techniques and test drilling and aquifer testing
to determine available water quality and quantity prior to I
constructing permanent production wells.

IVDevelopment of drift wells would have the benefit --of
diversifying the city' s source of groundwater. Beyond thees)
lik exploration and testing phase of drift aquifer development;''
this potential source has the additional benefit of generally
ih lower construction costs and construction time as well as the
potential for lower operational costs based on reduced pump
lifts .
Ili
D ) Deeper bedrock sources (below the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan) may
also be available for development. These include the
Ili Franconia-Ironton-Galesville and Mount Simon-Hinckley
ItI . aquifers. There is a4lquaatity of information regarding these
aquifers in the Chanhassen area owing to the availability of
Ishallower sources which may be utilized. However, the Mount
Simon-Hinckley aquifer is receiving increasing consideration
for potential development particularly where shallower
I aquifers have been impacted by contamination or heavy usage .
The City of Chaska r- . : ed Corr-s-truuted a M
cult Simon-
Hinckley well i he northwestern corner of Chanhass n. The
IIlog for this wall provides the only information a able for
the aquifer in the e ea. Pit this location, the (,,,,e,4715.
aquifer was encountered between the depths of 672 and 817 feet
and was test pumped at 1800 gpm Q
IIDevelopment of this potential source would involve increased
construction and operational costs owing to substantially
1 increased well depths and pumping levels. If this aquifer is
considered for potential development, additional information
IIshould be collected and reviewed from outside the area of this

MEMORANDUM
TO: Don Ashworth , City Manager
FROM: Gary Warren, City Engineer ,
DATE: March 7 , 1989
SUBJ: .__ Municipal Well No. 5
Preliminary Water Supply Investigations
File No. 89-4
1
As a part of the discussion which surrounded the necessity for
the construction of the Lake Lucy Road trunk watermain , the need
for a new municipal well in the city ' s system has been
questioned. At the time we embarked on the preparation of the
feasibility study for the Lake Lucy Road trunk watermain , staff
prepared an updated forecast to evaluate when system demand would
dictate the need for Well No. 5 .
The dater System Analysis study prepared for the City in 1985
concluded that construction for Well No. 5 should commence in
1991 in order to be on line in 1992 . he usage demand forecasts
included in that report I believe were :accurate for that time;
however, with the growth and industrial ,1evelopment that the City
has experienced the past few years , I oelieve that the siting
process should be accelerated to investi.;ate the best location
for this well and the preferred aquifer arrangement. If it is
indeed true that we are in the third year of a five-year drought,
I believe the preliminary investigation for siting the well could
be very useful for us to expedite the installation of Well No. 5.
With this in mind I have obtained the attached proposal for pre-
liminary water supply investigations from Bruce A. Liesch
Associates , Inc. B. A. Liesch is a firm that has a strong
background in conducting geologic and hydrologic investigations
of this nature. They are very Knowledgeable in Minnesota
aquifers and well drilling and their $2 , 883 fee appears quite
reasonable. Depending on the type of well that would be built,
i .e. glacial drift well versus a deep bedrock well , the timeline
for the actual design , construction and placing the well in ser-
vice could be up to one year ' s time .

You will recall that in the Water Expansion Fund budget we had
' anticipated a 1990 expenditure for construction of Well No. 5 .
As a result, I believe that initiation of services at this time
would start us on the road for keeping with this schedule and
meeting the system demands. I have therefore authorized Bruce A.
' Liesch and Associates to commence with the preliminary water
supply investigations for Well No. 5 in accordance with their
March 6 , 1989 proposal .

FUND: 402 WATER EXPANSION
FUNCTION: CAPITAL PROJECT FUND
1989 BUDGET
Com entary
This fund derives its money from water hook-up charges and is dedicated to pay
oversizing and other general benefit costs associated with the water utility
system. Revenue into this fund fluctuates greatly in that collections are
based on development in areas where trunk costs were not assessed as part of
the construction project.
