5.3            Groundwater
Groundwater seepage and inflow was encountered during solid flight augering at depths between 1.8 m
and 2 m BGL. A standing groundwater level of 1.8 m BGL was measured in the standpipe installed in
borehole BH1 at the completion of fieldwork. Groundwater levels are anticipated to fluctuate with
prevailing weather conditions and are likely to be strongly influenced by the tidal surface water level in
the adjacent Noosa River/Weyba Creek, possibly rising closer to the ground surface. The groundwater
level and results from testing of a sample recovered from the standpipe in borehole BH1 are summarised
in Table 2.
