The Wilcox Oil Company Superfund site (hereinafter referred to as “the site”) was formerly an oil refinery in northeast of Bristow in Creek County, Oklahoma. Historical refinery operations contaminated the soil, surface water, streambed sediments, alluvium, and groundwater with refined and stored products at the site. The Wilcox and Lorraine process areas are where the highest concentrations of volatile organic compounds, semivolatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and trace elements (including metals) (collectively hereinafter referred to as “contaminants”) were measured in a local shallow perched groundwater system within the alluvium (hereinafter referred to as the “alluvial aquifer”) at the site during previous site assessments. In order to understand the potential migration of contaminants through the soil and groundwater in these areas, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, investigated aquifer characteristics of the alluvial aquifer in the Wilcox and Lorraine process areas of the site to (1) document hydraulic conductivity and other aquifer characteristics of the alluvial aquifer that govern contaminant fate and transport, (2) describe the geospatial extent and concentration of the contaminants in the alluvial aquifer in the Wilcox and Lorraine process areas, and (3) describe the geochemical controls pertaining to oxidation and reduction governing the fate and transport and the degradation potential of contaminants in the groundwater. This data release documents the data that were collected and briefly describes how they were used to characterize the hydrogeologic framework, groundwater-flow system, geochemistry, and aquifer hydraulic properties of the shallow groundwater system. Refer to the companion larger work citation (Teeple and others, 2025) for the complete description and data analyses. In January and August 2022, surface geophysical resistivity data were collected to characterize the sediments and their extents in the shallow groundwater system. Two methods were utilized: frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). This dataset includes the raw data files; the inverse modeling input, output, and parameter files; and the final processed results.

In November and December 2022, following groundwater monitoring well development and groundwater-quality sampling, slug tests were completed on each of the groundwater monitoring wells installed in 2022 to (1) determine if the wells were in good hydraulic connection with the aquifer and (2) estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer at each well. This dataset includes the pressure transducer data from the slug tests and the hydraulic conductivity values estimated by using the Bouwer-Rice method of analysis.

Well construction data for 11,917 domestic and 2,390 public-supply wells in the Central Valley were compiled as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Assessment Project (NAWQA) and California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment Program Priority Basin Project (GAMA-PBP). Data were compiled for wells reported in the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database and from well information reported to the SWRCB Department of Drinking Water (SWRCB-DDW). Driller’s log data were transcribed from scanned images of well completion reports filed with California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The wells reported in this data release were filtered by water use to select domestic and public-supply wells and omit other water uses. The compilation was then assumed to be representative of the total population of domestic and public-supply wells in the Central Valley. The wells in the compilation were constructed between 1911 and 2008 but are not grouped or separated by date. The data were used to produce two point data sets containing well location and construction information (depth from land surface to the top and bottom of the well screen, hereafter well-screen tops and bottoms; and screen length), and 12 interpolated GIS raster surfaces created by using Empirical Bayesian Kriging on a 1600 by 1600 meter (1 square-mile) grid. The tables are also included in csv format. The 12 rasters comprise predicted values for well screen tops and bottoms and their 10th and 90th quantile values. The interpolated surfaces may also be used to calculate volumes of water-supply in the Central Valley defined by the well-screen tops and bottoms.
