Abstract

During 1993-94, chloride concentrations in ground water in the vicinity of the Brookhaven oil field in northwestern Lincoln County, Mississippi, ranged from 2.5 to 9,400 mg/L (milligrams per liter). Water from 89 (50 percent) of 177 wells was considered contaminated by brine that is, had chloride concentrations greater than 20 mg/L. However, the chloride concentrations in water from only 12 of the wells (7 percent) sampled during this study were greater than the recommended secondary limit for drinking
