Honorable Farris Bryant, Chairman Florida State Board of Conservation Tallahassee, Florida
Dear Governor Bryant:
The Division of Geology is publishing, as Florida Geological Survey Report of Investigations No. 38, an evaluation of the "Possibility of Salt-Water Leakage from Proposed Intracoastal Waterway near Venice, Florida Well Field." The report is the result of a cooperative study between the U. S. Geological Survey and this department, during which the details of the well field were determined in considerable detail by electric logging, studies of rock cuttings, and mapping of surface formations by personnel of the State Survey. Both state and federal personnel cooperated in several detailed pumping tests to determine the hydrologic characteristics of the three aquifers present in the well field and to determine the possibilities of salt-water leakage into the well field.
The report has been compiled by Mr. W. E. Clark, engineer with the U. S. Geological Survey, and we are pleased to make this timely study available.
Respectfully yours,
Robert 0. Vernon
Director and State Geologist
