6-10 Water

Explain in detail your remediation plan should the contamination from well 3A spread to surrounding water sources/areas.

RESPONSE 6-10

 

Based on the work previously completed by RIDEM and others, it is not expected that any contamination from Well 3A will migrate or spread to areas that are not currently impacted.  There are no other public supply wells located near the delineated groundwater impact areas associated with the Main Street Mobil property.

 

The extensive monitoring of the water levels and groundwater quality in the surrounding monitoring wells required prior to and during the Well 3A pump test by RIDEM will demonstrate that the contamination from Well 3A will not spread to surrounding areas during use of the well. RIDEM will only approve the use of the well if such a demonstration is made.  RIDEM will require PUD to continue to monitor the water levels and the groundwater quality in the surrounding wells on an ongoing basis to ensure that the extraction of water from Well 3A is not causing impacts to groundwater volume or quality in the surrounding area.
