Furthermore, the sandy surface soils permit practically all of the 5 inches of net annual precipitation in the area to go directly into the ground. About 15 private water wells are within 0.3 mile of the site. EPA completed a topographic, geologic, and geophysical study of the site in November l983. In April 1984, EPA completed installation of a network of monitoring wells. Samples were collected from these wells as well as many private wells.
Results are pending.
