contents Vertical permeability testing was conducted on four samples collected from Site 1109, a borehole advanced during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 180. Closed conditions were applied during each test, and the samples were measured using a constant flow approach and permeant solutions that matched the geochemistry of nearby interstitial waters. Vertical permeabilities measured at 34.5 kPa effective stress generally decreased with depth and ranged from 10**-14 m**2 at 212.53 meters below seafloor (mbsf) to 10**-18 m**2 at 698.10 mbsf. The three deepest samples differed in permeability by less than one order of magnitude. Reconsolidation testing on the shallowest sample yielded a minimum permeability of 1.56 x 10**-16 m**2 at 276 kPa effective stress. Subsequent rebound testing yielded a hysteresis-type curve, with the final permeability measuring lower than the initial permeability by nearly 1.5 orders of magnitude. Dilution experiments indicated that use of a permeant solution matching the geochemistry of the interstitial waters may be necessary for accuracy in measurements and mitigation of clay swellage and collapse during testing, but further research is mandated.
