Baker City
General Information:
Baker City began using ASR in 2004 to supplement high demand
municipal reserves. 1 ASR well injects up to 200 million gallons per year of
treated water into a basaltic aquifer, partially bounded by tuffaceous
sedimentary rocks.
Additional Information:
Aquifer thickness (ft): 60
Hydraulic Conductivity (ft/day): 6-16
Transmissivity (ft/day) : 370-1000
Static Water Level (ft): n/a
Specific Capacity (gpm/ft): 16.5
Storativity: n/a
