Tools and Data Acquisition of Borehole Geophysical Logging for the Florida Power & Light Company Turkey Point Power Plant in Support of a Groundwater, Surface-Water, and Ecological Monitoring Plan, Miami-Dade County, Florida

By Michael A. Wacker

ABSTRACT Borehole geophysical logs were obtained from selected exploratory coreholes in the vicinity of the Florida Power & Light Company Turkey Point Power Plant. The geophysical logging tools used and logging sequences performed during this project are summarized herein to include borehole logging methods, descriptions of the properties measured, types of data obtained, and calibration information.
