a Because of access restrictions at site K-2, it was not possible to measure the water levels at wells K2MW8 and K2MW9 on August 23, 2004, when all other wells were measured; thus, it was necessary to use the water levels obtained during installation of wells K2MW8 and K2MW9 on February 11, 2004, and March 11, 2004, respectively. Based on the low land-surface altitude and position of wells K2MW8 and K2MW9 along the New River (fig. 4), the magnitude of seasonal water-level change at these sites is likely similar to the tidal fluctuation of about 2 feet for the New River. The water levels utilized for wells K2MW8 and K2MW9 in developing the regression equation for estimating water-table altitudes at the Impact Areas are considered to be fairly represen-tative of those that would have been obtained on August 23, 2004, when the other wells were measured.
