Effects of the Sill Downstream • No significant changes in ground-water levels at wells

Effects of the Sill Downstream • No significant changes in ground-water levels at wells downgradient. • No significant change in concentrations of water-quality constituents in flows at the sill.

Effects of the Sill Downstream • No significant changes in ground-water levels at wells

Effects of the Sill Downstream • No significant changes in ground-water levels at wells downgradient. • No significant change in concentrations of water-quality constituents in flows at the sill. • The sill increased the base water levels immediately upstream of the sill by 6 ft.
