The report presents Phase II Groundwater Protection Planning for the Village of Montrose. In addition the Village requested that a long-duration pumping test of the two water supply wells be completed to evaluate the potential capacity of the Montrose Aquifer. The report comprises the six steps outlined in the Well Protection Toolkit. Using the analytical solution 100-day and 1-year capture zones was calculated. Includes key plan.

The report summarizes the results of the Phase II Groundwater Protection Plan being developed for the Village of Montrose, located in the West Kootenay Region of BC. The VONM currently extracts water from two waters supply wells located near the confluence of Beaver Creek and the Columbia River. The first phase of the GWPP was completed by Golder in 2008. Phase I of the GWPP comprised Steps 2, 3 and part of Step 4 of the Well Protection Toolkit. The completed work included the characterization of the aquifer, a preliminary GUDI assessment, the determination of the 60-day and 1-year preliminary time of travel zones for the Villages two wells and completion of a preliminary contaminant inventory within the capture zones established for both active wells. In addition to the Phase I included preliminary comments regarding the development of groundwater protection management strategies for the Village wells and recommendations for continuing the GWPP process. The scope of work for phase II GWPP consisted of the following: Step 1: Development of a Community Planning Team; Step 2: Refinement of Well Protection Areas and GUDI Assessment; Step 3: Phase II Contaminant Inventory; Step 4: Development of Groundwater protection management Strategies; Step 5: Recommendations for Contingency Planning; Step 6: Water Supply Well Monitoring Program. In addition to completing Phase II of the GWPP, the Village of Montrose requested that Golder conduct a long-duration pumping test of the two wells to evaluate the potential capacity of the Montrose Aquifer. The purpose of the pumping test was to assess the specific capacity and bench mark the efficiency of both wells, evaluate well interferences, and estimate the hydraulic characteristics of the Montrose Aquifer in the vicinity of the production wells. The pumping test information was also useful in the refined GUDI assessment. The report presents the results of the pumping test, together with the results of Phase II of the GWPP.
