Health assessment for Eau Claire Municipal Well Field National Priorities List (NPL) Site, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Region 5. CERCLIS No. WID980820054. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5225372
The Eau Claire Municipal Well Field NPL Site is located in the northwestern section of the City of Eau Claire, Wisconsin in northwest Eau Claire and southwest Chippewa Counties. The site supplies the drinking water for approximately 57,600 residents in the City of Eau Claire and Washington Township. The northern part of the well field site in Chippewa County exhibits some contamination by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi-volatile organic compounds (semi-VOCs). Initial remedial actions resulted in the installation of an air-stripper to the municipal water supply to remove VOCs from the contaminated well ground waters. Investigations have indicated the presence of at least two plumes of ground water contamination, principally VOCs. The installation of an air-stripper on the municipal water supply has diminished the VOCs exposure by ingestion and inhalation for a large segment of the affected population. Chronic ingestion and inhalation of maximal levels of VOCs found in ground water at the Eau Claire Site may pose a potential public health hazard for private-well users.
