Chapter 3 - Groundwater

FutureGen analyses conclude that there is a low potential for damages to groundwater at the Jewett, TX sequestration site. As a result, they do not attempt to quantify the potential severity or magnitude of impacts that would arise in the unlikely event of a release into groundwater. In recognition of the potential for some level of groundwater impacts, the Monte Carlo analysis incorporate bounding calculations designed to broadly assess potential groundwater damages arising from CCS at the Jewett, TX site.
