Report of Extended Monitoring Studies for the Agenda, Kansas, Former CCC/USDA Site
- Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)
Routine screening performed by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) in 1987 and subsequent KDHE studies at Agenda, Kansas, identified carbon tetrachloride at concentrations above the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 5 μg/L in groundwater. The contaminated samples were obtained from two public water supply wells and at the site of a former grain storage facility operated by the Commodity Credit Corporation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (CCC/USDA). Because the contamination might be linked to historical use of carbon tetrachloride-based grain fumigants at the former CCC/USDA facility, the CCC/USDA conducted a site investigation to establish the extent of the carbon tetrachloride contamination at Agenda and to determine whether remedial action is required. The investigation was performed by the Environmental Research Division of Argonne National Laboratory, using Argonne’s QuickSiteSM Expedited Site Characterization methodology.
