Subsurface fracture density was calculated for the 320 fractures (through-going fractures) that intersect the entire circumference of the tunnel. Bedrock topography was determined using bore hole data collected during the design phase of the tunnel project. Surface topography is from 1:25,000 scale topographic maps and surficial geology is based on maps of the Framingham and Natick Quadrangles. Seven surface water bodies, primarily brooks and rivers, overlie the tunnel. Five surface fracture domains are based on 1513 fracture measurements collected from 21 outcrops within 3 km of the tunnel. In the tunnel, 413 fractures (all fractures, dips>45 degrees ) comprise seven subsurface fracture domains. High groundwater inflows generally correlate with areas of high subsurface fracture density and where four or more subsurface fracture domains overlap. In addition, high groundwater inflows are also generally located near surface water bodies and below permeable surficial deposits and topographic depressions, especially those with corresponding lows in the bedrock surface. Moreover, subsurface structures which correlate with prominent surface fracture domains produce the highest volume of groundwater inflow. However, not all tunnel sections exhibiting high fracture density and overlapping fracture domains exhibit high groundwater inflows. Also, there is no correlation between areas where two or more surface fracture domains overlap and the volume of groundwater discharging to the tunnel.}, keywords = {$\#$StaffPubs, BEDROCK, boreholes, characterization, design, discharge, eastern Massachusetts, flows, fractures, Framingham Quadrangle, ground water, Hydrogeology 21, massachusetts, movement, Natik Quadrangle, occurrence, outcrops, surface water, topography, tunnels, United States}, isbn = {00167592}, author = {Williams, Katherine W. and Stephen B Mabee and Hardcastle, Kenneth C. and Curry, Patrick J.} } @article {290, title = {Factors influencing well productivity in glaciated metamorphic rocks}, journal = {Ground Water}, volume = {37}, year = {1999}, note = {Accession Number: 1999-037034; Language: English; Coden: GRWAAP; Collation: 10; Publication Types: Serial; Updated Code: 199913; Illustration(s): illus. incl. 7 tables, geol. sketch map; Number of References: 37; Reviewed Item: Analytic}, month = {1999/02/01/}, pages = {88 - 97}, publisher = {National Water Well Association, Ground-Water Technology Division : Urbana, IL, United States}, address = {United States}, keywords = {$\#$StaffPubs, aquifers, BEDROCK, controls, depth, drinking water, fractures, Georgetown Island, glacial environment, ground water, Hydrogeology 21, Maine, metamorphic rocks, porosity, surface water, thickness, topography, transmissivity, United States, water wells}, isbn = {0017467X}, url = {http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1745-6584.1999.tb00961.x/abstract}, author = {Stephen B Mabee} } @online {370, title = {National Geodetic Survey Data Explorer}, abstract = {
