Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the Gasoline leak at Stovepipe Wells Hotel that took place in Death Valley National Monument, California, and the United States Geological Survey's subsequent investigation. The author presents the data gathered from the investigation, including well-drilling logs, water-level and water-quality data, and an analysis of soil samples, all conducted to fully capture the extent of the gasoline layer that formed atop the water table. Through this scientific lens, the author discusses the potential effects of the leak on the local ground water and vegetation, and shares the mitigation measures that were implemented to protect the region's precarious ecosystem. Ultimately, the book highlights the importance of understanding the movement of gasoline in the subsurface and emphasizes the need for continuous monitoring of such leaks to prevent further contamination and ensure the long-term health of our environment.
