Groundwater flow systems in the phosphate sequence Caribou County, Idaho. Technical report, project C-7651 Item Info

It is concluded from this study that the platy siltstone and black limestone members of the Thaynes Formation, the upper and lower members of the Dinwoody Formation and the Wells Formation all have sufficient hydraulic conductivity to allow these formations to support ground water flow systems. The Rex Chert Member of the Phosphoria Formation also has the potential to support aground water flow system but it does not exhibit a uniform hydraulic conductivity through out the area. It may or may not support such a flow system. Neither the cherty shale nor the Meade Peak Phosphatic Shale Members of the Phosphoria Formation exhibit sufficient hydraulic conductivity to permit the existence of a significant ground water flow system. The ground water flow system characteristics of the phosphate sequence are consistent throughout the study area except for the Rex Chert Member of the Phosphoria Formation
