(1) the delineation of the aquifers in the Basin;
(2) the availability of groundwater resources for human use;
(3) the salinity of groundwater resources;
(4) the identification of a recent surge in perchlorate concentrations in groundwater, whether significant sources are being flushed through the vadose zone, or if perchlorate is being remobilized;
(5) the identification of impacts and extents of all source areas that contribute to the regional plume to be fully characterized;
(6) the potential of the groundwater resources to recharge;
(7) the interaction between groundwater and surface water; and
