GMU drilled and installed more than 60 monitoring wells, installed pneumatic piezometers and data loggers, and regularly monitored groundwater levels and water chemistry on and near the site. Studies were conducted in Chiquita, Gobernadora and Christianitos canyons and within the San Juan Creek and San Mateo Creek watersheds.
