Follow-on site investigation at the Manitowoc Army Reserve Center (MARC). Final report

Technical Report · Mon Feb 24 00:00:00 EST 1992

OSTI ID:5150464

The objectives of the MARC FSI were to: Determine if the Reserve Center is the source of low-level trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination (i.e., 5 to 9 micrograms/1) detected in a nearby Ranney collector well (Collector 'B') operated by Manitowoc Public Utilities (MPU) and to determine if 1,2-dichloroethane contamination detected in MARC Well MW-6 by E. C. Jordan Co. (Jordan) has migrated off site toward Collector 'B.' TCE was not found on site in any sampled soils or groundwater. However, very low concentrations (i.e., just above certified reporting limits (CRLs)) of four VOCs were found in groundwater in the vicinity of the septic tank drainage field. These included 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and tetrachloroethylene. Only one VOC, 1,2-dichloroethane, was detected at the same well (MW-6) in both rounds of groundwater sampling. This compound is not a transformation product of TCE, nor can it be transformed to TCE by natural processes.
