xvi Preface
many facets but the focus here is on its innovative pilot study and hoped-for posi-
tive results of injecting treated wastewater (treated to drinking water level) into the
Potomac Aquifer in an attempt to ease and slow land subsidence in the southern
Chesapeake Bay region due to excessive groundwater withdrawal. This book chroni-
cles the efforts of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS); HRSD’s consulting engineer-
ing firm, CH2M; and HRSD internal operations personnel working to make SWIFT
a reality. Land Subsidence Mitigation: Aquifer Recharge Using Treated Wastewater
Injection provides a fair and balanced discussion about the concerns centering on
land subsidence due to excessive groundwater withdrawal. It provides comprehen-
sive coverage of all aspects of the issue, including a discussion of Class V injection
wells and their specific intended purpose. This book is intended as a reference book
and road map for administrators, legal professionals, research engineers, graduate
students, wastewater or sanitary engineers, non-engineering professionals, general
readers, and anyone else concerned with land subsidence and clean water injection
into underground aquifers.
A final word to readers: This book is written in the conversational, engaging,
and reader-friendly style that is the author’s trademark. Simply, I never apologize for
attempting to communicate.
Acknowledgments
This book would not have been possible without the help provided by Ted Henifin,
General Manager of HRSD, in addition to the following other HRSD personnel:
Jennifer See, Safety Manager; Jennifer Cascio, Executive Secretary; John Dano,
Chief of Planning and Design; Germano Salazar-Benites, Recycling Project
Manager; and many Nansemond employees. Also of tremendous help were the staff
of engineers and environmental professionals at the consulting engineering firm
CH2M and, finally, my co-illustrator, artist Kathern Welsh.

Author
Frank R. Spellman, PhD, is a retired adjunct assistant
professor of environmental health at Old Dominion
University, Norfolk, Virginia, and the author of more
than 110 books covering topics ranging from concen-
trated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) to all areas
of environmental science and occupational health.
Many of his texts are readily available online, and
several have been adopted for classroom use at major
universities throughout the United States, Canada,
Europe, and Russia; two have been translated into
Spanish for South American markets. Dr. Spellman
has been cited in more than 850 publications. He
serves as a professional expert witness for three law groups and as an incident/
accident investigator for the U.S. Department of Justice and a northern Virginia
law firm. In addition, he consults on homeland security vulnerability assessments
for critical infrastructures, including water/wastewater facilities, and conducts pre-
Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Environmental Protection
Agency audits throughout the country. Dr. Spellman receives frequent requests to
co-author with well-recognized experts in several scientific fields; for example, he is
a contributing author to the prestigious text The Engineering Handbook, 2nd ed. Dr.
Spellman lectures on wastewater treatment, water treatment, and homeland secu-
rity, as well as on safety topics, throughout the country and teaches water/waste-
water operator short courses at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. In 2011, he traced and
documented the ancient water distribution system at Machu Picchu, Peru, and sur-
veyed several drinking water resources in Amazonia, Ecuador. He has also studied
and surveyed two separate potable water supplies in the Galapagos Islands, in addi-
tion to studying Darwin’s finches while there. Dr. Spellman earned a BA in public
administration, a BS in business management, an MBA, and both an MS and a PhD
in environmental engineering.

Vertical Datum
In this book, sea level refers to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (for-
merly known as the Sea Level Datum of 1929), a geodetic datum derived from a
general adjustment of the first-order level nets of both the United States and Canada.
Mean sea level is not used with reference to any particular vertical datum; where
used, the phrase means the average surface of the ocean as determined by calibration
of measurements at tidal stations.
