The following text is from notes from a July 1998 conversation with the EPA RPM:<br />

It is planned that groundwater will be pumped, treated above ground, and re-injected via one or two<br />

sumps (sumps 1 and 2) located in existing and constructed recharge basins. It is estimated that<br />

100 gpm must be pumped to achieve hydraulic control, although the number and depths of wells<br />

are still to be determined. The geologic material targeted with in situ flushing at the site is sand<br />

and gravel of the Upper Glacial Formation. The water table at the site is approximately 35 feet<br />

below the ground surface (bgs). There is no shallow confining layer at the site; containment of the<br />

flushing operation would be strictly hydraulic control. The maximum depth of the target<br />

contaminants (VOCs (PCE, TCE, 1,2-DCE, vinyl chloride), phenol, and TICs (tentatively identified<br />

compounds)) is between 25 and 50 feet bgs.<br />
