1Cycle 5 had 52 days of down time during the recharge period.
2Recovery efficiency estimated using a fictitious value for recharge chloride concentration.
3Recovery continued past the reported recovery volume, which had an ending chloride concentration of 250 mg/L.
4An additional 5.2 million gallons were recharged during the last 57 days of the storage period by trickle flow (50 gallons per minute).
5Conducted by CH2M Hill.
6A specific conductance of 5,000 microsiemens per centimeter was used to terminate recovery for all cycles, which equals 1,385 milligrams per liter chloride concentration.
7Conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey.
8Injection rate for all cycles was 2,000 gallons per minute, and recovery rate was 1,000 gallons per minute.
9The recharge volume for cycle 4 could be too low, which would make the recovery efficiencies too high.
