Short Description

This study was initiated in response to a memorandum of November 8, 1972 from Duane E. Wegner, Resource Management Supervisor of the Northwest Regional Office, Department of Ecology, requesting the evaluation of a ground-water application north of the community of Eastsound on Orcas Island. The application was for an amount of withdrawal which seemed excessive and caused concern that the lowering of the water level would lead to contamination of the aquifer by sea water encroachment.
