Dissolved Phase Dissolved phase sampling: September and October 2014
Dissolved Phase Full Dissolved Phase Plume Analysis: 2013/2014
Next Steps Evaluate recent dissolved phase data Modeling dissolved phase contaminant transport without system pumping Evaluate natural attenuation using CO 2 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
