• Dissolved phase sampling: September and October 2014
Dissolved Phase Pathway
• Full Dissolved Phase Plume Analysis: 2013/2014
Dissolved Phase Pathway
Next Steps
• Evaluate recent dissolved phase data
• Modeling dissolved phase contaminant transport without system pumping
• Evaluate natural attenuation using CO2 flux study, temperature profile study and evaluation of bioavailable electron acceptors
Preliminary Conclusions
• Vapor risk minimal
• Direct contact risk must be addressed by future remedy at isolated areas of high water table
• LNAPL mobility testing showed localized areas of potentially recoverable volumes but minimal risk reduction by LNAPL recovery
• Dissolved phase data suggests low risk but data gaps must be filled
