Abstract
The South Point tank exploratory well (State well number 8-0339-01) was drilled at the Hawaii County Department of Water Supply tank located at the intersection of South Point Road and State Highway 11, at an elevation of 1,944 feet. The well was drilled into rocks of the Mauna Loa Volcano to a depth of 1,946 feet below ground surface and encountered a water table standing at an elevation of 435 feet. Well-construction data, a driller's log, and a summary of ground-water occurrence are provided. The well is one of three exploratory wells drilled on the island of Hawaii between May 1997 and July 1998 in cooperation with the County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply.
INTRODUCTION
The South Point tank exploratory well was the first of three deep exploratory wells drilled on the island of Hawaii between May 1997 and February 1998. These wells were drilled by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of a program of exploratory/monitor well drilling carried out in cooperation with the County of Kauai Department of Water, the County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply, and the City and County of Honolulu Board of Water Supply. The program, begun in 1993, is designed to provide hydrologic and geologic information for aquifers in each of the island counties. This information is vital to the understanding of the ground-water systems on each island and for the estimation of the amount of available ground water.
In addition to providing needed hydrogeologic information, the exploratory wells completed under this program will be used as long-term monitoring wells to
provide data and information for the management, protection, and preservation of the ground-water resources. The rotation of the drilling rig between islands and the duration of drilling on each island are determined by the three county water managers. Drilling sites are selected and prioritized jointly by the county water departments and the USGS.
The purpose of the South Point tank exploratory well was to provide information on the little known ground-water resources of the western part of the Kau District (fig. 1), which is an area that often has water shortage during periods of low rainfall. The well was drilled on County of Hawaii property at the intersection of South Point Road and State Highway 11 at an elevation of 1,944 ft (fig. 2). Water was encountered at a depth of 1,508 ft below land surface (elevation 435 ft) and remained at that level for the duration of the drilling to final depth. The extent of this high-level water body and the nature of the impounding structures are not known. This report presents geohydrologic data, driller's log, and construction details of the well.

trict is the largest of the island of Hawaii's nine districts and has a land area of almost 625,000 acres. Elevations within the District range from sea level to 13,700 ft at the summit of Mauna Loa. Average annual rainfall within the District ranges from about 20 in. at the coast near South Point (Ka Lae) to more than 125 in. at the 3,000 ft elevation between Waiohinu and Pahala and about 100 in. at the summit of Kilauea Volcano.
The Kau District consists of rocks from Mauna Loa Volcano which include lava flows and pyroclastic deposits, and rocks from Kilauea Volcano which also formed by lava flows and pyroclastic deposits (fig. 3). The lavas of the Kau Basalt, which make up most of the District, are highly permeable (Stearns and Macdonald, 1946), and no streams within the Kau District reach the sea except after periods of intense rainfall (Davis and Yamanaga, 1966).
GROUND-WATER OCCURRENCE
The occurrence of ground water in the Kau District is described in detail by Stearns and Clark (1930), Steams and Macdonald (1946), and Davis and Yamanaga (1966 and 1973). The following is a generalized summary from these works for that part of the District formed by rocks from Mauna Loa Volcano.
Within the Kau District, ground water is found as basal water, which is that roughly lens-shaped body of freshwater near sea level floating on seawater and as high-level ground water, which may be impounded by volcanic dikes or other structures or perched on lowpermeability geologic units such as volcanic ash. Recharge to the basal ground-water body is from direct infiltration of rainfall on the permeable land surface, from subsurface discharge of high-level ground-water bodies, and from infiltration of water flowing over permeable rock in stream channels. Recharge to the highlevel ground-water body is from direct infiltration of rainfall. Discharge from the basal water body is from springs and seeps visible at the coast or discharging below sea level offshore. Evidence of substantial ground-water flow at the coast is provided by the large discharge at Ninole and Kawaa Springs (fig. 4). Average discharge from these springs is estimated to range between 30 to 50 MgaVd.
Chloride-ion concentration is about I ()() mgIL at Kawaa Springs and ranges between 300 to 400 mg/L at Ninole Springs (fig. 4). Along the coast southwestward
from Honuapo to Ka Lae, the visible ground-water discharge decreases and the salinity ofthe water increases. A dug well near the shore of Waikapuna Bay yielded water with a chloride-ion concentration of about 2,000 mg/L, and at a dug well near Waipouli the chloride-ion concentration was about 1,800 mg/L. Dug wells and a spring at Kaalualu yielded water with a chloride-ion concentration between 2,000 and 3,000 mglL. Highlevel ground water is manifested by the occurrence of springs and seeps primarily between Pahala and Waiohinu at elevations between 2,000 and 5,000 ft. The springs are perched in lava flows by intercalated ash beds. The larger springs were developed by horizontal tunneling along the ash layers during the period 1921-30 to provide water for sugarcane fluming from upland fields to the sugar mill at Honuapo. The perched water bodies are irregular and discontinuous because of great variations in the permeab'ility and in the thickness of the ash layers. The discharge from the development tunnels fluctuates with rainfall. Evidence of a high-level body of ground water was discovered in 1946 when a shaft (8-1128-01) designed to develop basal water encountered water at 228 ft above sea level near Pahala. Subsequently the Hawaii County Department of Water Supply drilled an exploratory well (8-1229-01) near Pahala that encountered water standing 384 ft above sea level. Elevations, water levels, and chloride concentrations for selected wells in the Kau District are shown in table 1.
Most recently, the South Point tank exploratory well encountered high-level ground water standing anm elevation of 435 ft. The extent of these high-level ground-water bodies and the nature of the impounding structures are not known.
DRILLING, CONSTRUCTION, AND DRILLER'S LOG FOR SOUTH POINT TANK EXPLORATORY WELL (STATE WELL NUMBER 8-0339-01)
The South Point tank exploratory well was drilled with an air-rotary system using a mixture of air, water, foam, and polymer as the drilling fluid to aid in stabilizing the borehole and to remove drill cuttings and water. Samples of the drill cuttings were obtained at frequent intervals except where drilling-fluid circulation was lost. Drilling began on May 7, 1997 and was completed on August 5,1997. A 17-1/2 in. hole was drilled to a

Drilling and Construction Informatio~ for Well 8-0339-01, South Point Tank Exploratory Well, Island of Hawaii
By Charles J. Ewart
Abstract
The South Point tank exploratory well (State well number 8-0339-01) was drilled at the Hawaii County Department of Water Supply tank located at the intersection of South Point Road and State Highway 11, at an elevation of 1,944 feet. The well was drilled into rocks of the Mauna Loa Volcano to a depth of 1,946 feet below ground surface and encountered a water table standing at an elevation of 435 feet. Well-construction data, a driller's log, and a summary of ground-water occurrence are provided. The well is one of three exploratory wells drilled on the island of Hawaii between May 1997 and July 1998 in cooperation with the County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply.
INTRODUCTION
The South Point tank exploratory well was the first of three deep exploratory wells drilled on the island of Hawaii between May 1997 and February 1998. These wells were drilled by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of a program of exploratory/monitor well drilling carried out in cooperation with the County of Kauai Department of Water, the County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply, and the City and County of Honolulu Board of Water Supply. The program, begun in 1993, is designed to provide hydrologic and geologic information for aquifers in each of the island counties. This information is vital to the understanding of the ground-water systems on each island and for the estimation of the amount of available ground water.
In addition to providing needed hydrogeologic information, the exploratory wells completed under this program will be used as long-term monitoring wells to
provide data and information for the management, protection, and preservation of the ground-water resources. The rotation of the drilling rig between islands and the duration of drilling on each island are determined by the three county water managers. Drilling sites are selected and prioritized jointly by the county water departments and the USGS.
The purpose of the South Point tank exploratory well was to provide information on the little known ground-water resources of the western part of the Kau District (fig. 1), which is an area that often has water shortage during periods of low rainfall. The well was drilled on County of Hawaii property at the intersection of South Point Road and State Highway 11 at an elevation of 1,944 ft (fig. 2). Water was encountered at a depth of 1,508 ft below land surface (elevation 435 ft) and remained at that level for the duration of the drilling to final depth. The extent of this high-level water body and the nature of the impounding structures are not known. This report presents geohydrologic data, driller's log, and construction details of the well.

trict is the largest of the island of Hawaii's nine districts and has a land area of almost 625,000 acres. Elevations within the District range from sea level to 13,700 ft at the summit of Mauna Loa. Average annual rainfall within the District ranges from about 20 in. at the coast near South Point (Ka Lae) to more than 125 in. at the 3,000 ft elevation between Waiohinu and Pahala and about 100 in. at the summit of Kilauea Volcano.
The Kau District consists of rocks from Mauna Loa Volcano which include lava flows and pyroclastic deposits, and rocks from Kilauea Volcano which also formed by lava flows and pyroclastic deposits (fig. 3). The lavas of the Kau Basalt, which make up most of the District, are highly permeable (Stearns and Macdonald, 1946), and no streams within the Kau District reach the sea except after periods of intense rainfall (Davis and Yamanaga,1966).
GROUND-WATER OCCURRENCE
The occurrence of ground water in the Kau District is described in detail by Stearns and Clark (1930), Steams and Macdonald (1946), and Davis and Yamanaga (1966 and 1973). The following is a generalized summary from these works for that part of the District formed by rocks from Mauna Loa Volcano.
Within the Kau District, ground water is found as basal water, which is that roughly lens-shaped body of freshwater near sea level floating on seawater and as high-level ground· water, which may be impounded by volcanic dikes or other structures or perched on lowpermeability geologic units such as volcanic ash. Recharge to the basal ground-water body is from direct infiltration of rainfall on the penneable land surface, from subsurface discharge of high-level ground-water bodies, and from infiltration of water flowing over permeable rock in stream channels. Recharge to the highlevel ground-water body is from direct infiltration of rainfall. Discharge from the basal water body is from springs and seeps visible at the coast or discharging below sea level offshore. Evidence of substantial ground-water flow at the coast is provided by the large discharge at Ninole and Kawaa Springs (fig. 4). Average discharge from these springs is estimated to range between 30 to 50 MgaVd.
Chloride-ion concentration is about 100 mg/L at Kawaa Springs and ranges between 300 to 400 mglL at Ninole Springs (fig. 4). Along the coast southwestward
from Honuapo to Ka Lae, the visible ground-water discharge decreases and the salinity of the water increases. A dug well near the shore ofWaikapuna Bay yielded water with a chloride-ion concentration of about 2,000 mglL, and at a dug well near Waipouli the chloride-ion concentration was about 1,800 mglL. Dug wells and a spring at Kaalualu yielded water with a chloride-ion concentration between 2,000 and 3,000 mglL. Highlevel ground water is manifested by the occurrence of springs and seeps primarily between Pahala and Waiohinu at elevations between 2,000 and 5,000 ft. The springs are perched in lava flows by intercalated ash beds. The larger springs were developed by horizontal tunneling along the ash layers during the period 1921-30 to provide water for sugarcane fluming from upland fields to the sugar mill at Honuapo. The perched water bodies are irregular and discontinuous because of great variations in the peITI:leab1lity and in the thickness of the ash layers. The discharge from the development tunnels fluctuates with rainfall. Evidence of a high-level body of ground water was discovered in 1946 when a shaft (8-1128-01) designed to develop basal waterencountered water at 228 ft above sea level near Pahala. Subsequently the Hawaii County Department of Water Supply drilled an exploratory well (8-1229-00 near Pahala that encountered water standing 384 ft above sea level. Elevations, water levels, and chloride concentrations for selected wells in the Kau District are shown in table 1.
Most recently, the South Point tank exploratory well encountered high-level ground water standing alan elevation of 435 ft. The extent of these high-level ground-water bodies and the nature of the impounding structures are not known.
DRILLING, CONSTRUCTION, AND DRILLER'S LOG FOR SOUTH POINT TANK EXPLORATORY WELL (STATE WELL NUMBER 8-0339-01)
The South Point tank exploratory well was drilled with an air-rotary system using a mixture of air, water, foam, and polymer as the drilling fluid to aid in stabilizing the borehole and to remove drill cuttings and water. Samples of the drill cuttings were obtained at frequent intervals except where drilling-fluid circulation was lost. Drilling began on May 7, 1997 and was completed on August 5, 1997. A 17-112 in. hole was drilled to a

depth of 503 ft and 500 ft of 12-in. inside-diameter casing was grouted in place. The remainder of the hole was drilled with a 8-3/4 in. tricone tungsten carbide bit. Well-construction data are provided in table 2 and construction details are shown in figure 5. The well was cased with 4-in. inside diameter, flush joint, blank and slotted steel casing. The 4.5-in. outside-diameter casing was grouted to the 12-in. casing from a depth of 30 ft to the surface. Table 3 contains a driller's log of the well and table 4 presents some water-quality data on water that was air-lifted from the well. Depths to water during drilling are shown in table 5.

Dear Ms. Loui:
pI2: 47
Please find enclosed a completed Well Construction Application for an exploratory well to be drilled at the Hawaii County Department of Water Supply (HCDWS) tank site, South Point Road, Ka'u. We have entered into a Joint Funding Agreement with the HCDWS for a six-month period of exploratory drilling beginning on or about May 1, 1997.
In consultation with Mr. Milton Pavao and his staff, three priority exploratory well sites have been selected. The South Point tank is the first of these sites, the second is the HCDWS tank at Kaieie Mauka near Papaikou, and the third site is the HCDWS Waiaka tank in Waimea. The Kaieie site is very small and impossible to drill on without significant site preparation, thus we plan to drill just outside the HCDWS land on Mauna Kea Agribusiness property if permission can be obtained. At the Waiaka site we will need to obtain permission from the Department of Land and Natural Resources to utilize a portion of state land adjacent to the site for access and equipment storage.
Should you or your staff need additional information, please contact me.
We appreciate your continued support of this program.
