Geological Survey for the City of Aubum Apri14,2014 ' Problem—Gro�mdwater is an important irsource For domestic,commercial,and indushial usage in the Puyallup Riya Watershed,and gnoundwater discharge helps maintain late-summer and early-fall strcam flow(base flow)in many azea streams. ConsequenUy,as the population grows, and cominercial and industriel activity increase,so does tHe demand for groundwater.However; the qua�ity of usable groundwater,the potential effects of:future net�ual conditions and aathropagenic activities on groundwater resoiuces;and potential impacts of groundwater withdrawals on stream flow,are not well understood in the watershed.Additional information is zequired to help ensiue the long-term sustainability of the ar�'s g�oundwater and siaface-water tesources. Objeclive—The objective of thispfiase(phase III)of the study is to integrate pievionsly collected and compiled information from phasel and phase II into a nwnerical groundwater tlow model4o contribute to an impmved uaderstanding of water resources in the watetshed. The model developed finm this project will be available to assist water resource managers end water purveyors with regional water management planning and decision-meldng. Relevsnce and Benefits—This study ctirectly supports USGS mission and goals releted to water-resource issues identified in the USGS Science Strategy.The study addresses groimdwater availability and sustainability,a priority issue under the Water Census of the United States as ouUined in Facing Tomorrow's challenges: USGS Science in the Da:ade 200�-2017. This study also will provide resource managers and stake holders in the Puyallup River waters6ed with the means to evaluate potential hydrologic and anthropogenic impacts on groundwater�d surface- water resources,and more accurately delineate well head pro4ection areas.This study is appropriate for inclusion in the USG$ Cooperatiqe Program because it will provide infonnation that adyances understanding of hydrolo�c proce.sses. Approach—The focus of phase I and phase II of this study was: 1)the collectioa and analysis of dara to efiaracberize the groundwatet Aow system,and its interaction with associated su�'ece water features in the Puyallup River Waiershed;2)the compilation of water use data;�d 3)the compilation and anatysis of data to estimate groundwater recharge in the study area.The focus of this ptiase(phase III)of the study is the construction and calibration of a numerical gronndwater flow model of the Puyallup River Watersfied to simulate potential hydrologic and antluopogenic impacts on groundwater and surface-waterreso�aces. I E#iibil A ' I Numerical Simulation of.the Water Resources in the Puyallup River Watershed, King and Pierce Counties,;Washington A proposal prepffied by the U.S.Geologicel Surveyfor the City of Aubum April 4,2014 Backgroand—ThePuyallup River Watershed occupies a 1,053-squaze-mile area in King and Pierce Counties,in western Washington(fig. 1).The'north to northwest flowing Puyallup River, and several major tributari�(the White and Cazbon Rivers)origmate within sparsely populated mountsins of the Cascade Range to the east and travecse suburbaa, urban,and industrial areas before discharging to Puget Sound to the west. The wateisheil is underlain by a westward flrickening sequence of unwnsolidated Quatemery glacial and interglacial deposits, underlain by Tertiary�d older sedimeniary,valcanic;and me4amorplric bedrock imits.Majoi population centecs withia the watershed include the cities of Tacoma,Puyallup,Sunmei,and Oi�tiiig. Problem—Groundwater is an important resow�ee for domestiq cbminercial,anii indvstrial, ivage in the Puyallup River Watershed,and�oimdwater discliarge helps mainfain late-summec and early-fall stream flow(base flow)in mmry area streams.Consequently,as U�e populati.on grows,and cammercial and industrial activity increase,so does the detnand for groundwater. However,the quantity of usable groundwater,tfie potential effects of future natural wnditions and anthropogenic activities on groundwater resources,and potential impects of groundwater withdrawals on sa�eamflow,are not well understood in the watershed.Adctitional information is requi;ed to help ensure the long-term sustainability of the area's groundwater and s�uface-water i resources. Objective—The objective of this phase(phase IIn of the study is to integrate previously collected and compiled information from phase I snd ghase II inYo a numerical groundwater flow model,to eo�ribute to an improved understanding of water resources in the watershed.The � i ExhiDit A I�� � model developed from this project will be available to assist water resource menagers and water purveyois with regional water management planning and decision-making. Relevance and Beneflts—Tlus study directly supports USGS'mission and goals related to water-resource issues identified in.the USGS 5cience Strategy. The study addresses�oimdwater availability.and sustainability, a priority issue imder the Water Census of the United States as � outlined"m Facin�Tomorrow's challenges:USGS Science in the Decade 2007 2017. This.study also will provide resource managers and stake holders in the Puyallup River watershed with the i I means to evaluate potential hydrologic and anthmpogenic impacts on groundwater and surface- water resources,and more accurately delineafe source water protection areas.l7ris study is appcopriate for inclusion in the USGS Coopetative Program because it will provide information thaY advances understanding of hydrologic processes. Approach—The focus of phase I and phase II of this studywas: 1)Use collection and ana]ysis of data to characteeize the groundwater flow system,and its interaction with associated surface water feaM'es in the Puyallup River Watershed;2)the compilation of water use data;and 3)the compilation and analysis of data to estimate gntmdwater recharge in the study area.The focus of � this phese(phase III)of the study is the construction and calibration of a numerical groundwater flow model of the Puyal lup River Watershed to simulate,potential hyd=ologic and anthropogenic I impacts on gnundwater and surface-water resources.An overview of ihe specific tasks needed � i tacomplete each element of the study is presented below. A projectbudget and timeline are � j given at the end of this document The project d�sation is expected to be approximately 2.25 � years. I Task l Construct and Calibcate a Steady-State Niunerical G=oimdwater-Flow Model (FY14-15) i –Pmject information will be integrated into a numerical flow model to conhi'butie to an � � � Exhibil A I � unproved understanding of water resources in the watershed.The numericai gi�oundwater flow � i i model(MODFLOR� will be constructed to represent hydrologic processes in the PRV✓,and i simulatE potential antluopogenic and climaric mipacts on groundwater and s�aface-water i i resources. MODFLO W is a widely used t]uee-dimensional,Snite-difference groundwater flow I i modei written by the USGS (Harbaugh and othess;2000),thai includes the parameter.estimation i program PEST(Doherty, 2005). Steady-state and transient condition models will be cronstructed and calibrated. Model calibration and sensidvity analysis will 6e performed using paraateter estimation methods. Synoptic;time-everaged,aed monthly gro�mdwater-level and stream flow data will be evaluated for use during steady-statie model calibration.A commercial grapfiical user interface will be used to conshvct the model,manage the data,and conduct post-processing of modeling results. Model boundary locations and conditions that match natural boundary features as closely as possible will be selected. Grroundwater boundaries in the d�per parts of the aquifet sysEem may not coincide with the PRW boundary,as defined by surface-water drainage pattems. If it can be determined,Uuougl�the analysis of groundwater levels and other information,that groundwater movement in the deeper parts of the aquifer system are govemed by regional boundary i � condiiions located beyond the watershed 6oundary,then those more distant and representative � � features may be used tobound the model.The locarion of model boundaries that closely correlate � to deeper aquifer conditions will allow water t�source managers to achieve more plaustble � I simulations of the potential effects of deeper aquifer withdrawals on the groundwater and I surface-water system. Previous hydrologic investigations in the Puget Sound Lowland(DPost and i others, 1999;Jones and others, 1999, Savoca and others,2010)have documented conditions (groundwater-level and stream flow meas�sements)t6at suggest major rivers produce no-flow i i i i i i i E�IbN A j bo�mdary conditions for all but the deepest aquifers in tLe region. The eastem bauadary of the model will likely wincide with the westem mazgin of the Cascade foothills,where pernieable unconsolidated deposits thin abovea rising lower-permeability bedrock siuface. The model will be hounded to the west by Puget 8ound. Task 2 Convert Steady-State Numerical Groundwater-Flow Modet to Tiansient and Calibrate (F.Y15)—The completed steady-state model.will be canverted to a usnsiem conditions model. 'I'h'he transient model will haVe a monthly time step. Synoptic,time-averaged,and montlily groundwater-level and stream flow data wi1T be evaluated foruse during transient model calibration. � I Task 3 Model PerFormance Simulations(FY 16)—Model perfozmance will be demonstrated by appioximately six simulations representing a range of conditions. Simulations will demonshate model�i respcinses(chaages in groundwater level and stream base flow)m variations.in groundwater withdrawal razes,well depths and locations,and recharge rstes(precipitation,and anihropogenic infrash�ucture such as pavemenb abd stnrm watet�d=ems). Simtiletion conditions ! I will be detennined by the USGS by September 30,2015,in consultation with pmject partnecs and local stakeholders. Task 4 Prepare Report Summarizing Model Consuvction and Results(FY 16)—A report � documenting model developmeat,limitations,and the results fiom approx�atelysix simulations representing a range of potential anthropogenic acdvities and hydrologic conditions will be prepared and published by September 30,2016. The USGS Publication Service Centu(PSC) � will pIOVide illustration,editorial,and publishiug services. Task 5 Transfer of Model to Coopeiator(FYI6)—The modei,including input files,wil1.6e I transfecred to the cooperator ora designee(s)of the cooperator by September 30,2016.The � � I �m�nn n � co.operator or their designee(s)will be Yequired to have a working laiowledge of appropriate modeling software. The USGS will not provide instruction on g�roandw�er flow modeling or the usp of modeling so8ware. Itis noted that We model and input files are withiathe public domain and will be provided to anY�Y re4Uestin8 them. Bndget—This phese,(phese IIn of the study will coat$470,040 over 2.25 fiscal years(FY 2014-2016)."11be portion of project costs to be provided by the City of Auburn is$24,28U.All Pi'olect cosis will be shared equally by tfie USGS and the Project partners.
