PFOA Monitoring Program Groundwater Results



# Dear Ms. Range:

As required by the NJPDES-DGW Permit N o. NJ0083429, DuPont samples groundwater semiannually from 36 wells across the site for analys is of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and other

perfluorinated compounds. DuPont sampled the wells in January 2015 in accordance with the

sampling and analysis plan (SAP). The well lo cations are shown with results in Figure 1.

PFOA was detected at varying c oncentrations ranging from no t detected [ND (0.00099)] at well

C11-M01E to 600 μg/L at well G09-M01A (see Tabl e 1). The highest concen trations are located

in the interior of the site where groundwater is contained by the Intercep tor Well System. Table 2

lists the other perfluorinated compounds.

PFOA was detected at concentra tions ranging from 0.24 to 50 μg/L in the B (shallow) aquifer

along the western portion of the site where a component of groundwater flow is towards the

Delaware River (see Figure 1). This occurrence is not expected to adve rsely affect the river

based on previous studies of other compounds detected in groundwater in the area.

If you have any questions, pleas e contact me at 302-999-6197.

Very truly yours,
