Summary
MODFLOW-2005 groundwater flow models and MT3DMS solute transport models were developed to represent conditions in the vicinity of a bioremediation experiment conducted in fractured rocks underlying the former Naval Air Warfare Center, West Trenton, New Jersey. The groundwater flow models include transient simulations of water-level changes during six field aquifer tests and steady-state simulations of hydraulic head at the site. The solute transport models include simulations of bromide tracer transport and of injection conditions during the bioremediation experiment. ZONEBUDGET and MODPATH were used for postprocessing analyses of flow modeling output. UCODE_2014 was used to calibrate the flow models and to conduct uncertainty analyses.

The models were developed to synthesize field characterization information and to design and evaluate a bioremediation experiment. Model development, calibration, and application are documented in two articles published in the journal Groundwater.
