Technical Report · Mon Jun 30 00:00:00 EDT 1986

OSTI ID:5235065

The New Brighton/Arden Hills/St. Anthony site is located approximately two miles north of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, and is one of several communities in the area that obtains its municipal water supplies entirely from ground-water resources. In June 1981, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) detected organic solvent contamination in the ground water used for municipal drinking water in New Brighton. Prior to these findings, the City of New Brighton had constructed and operated a total of nine municipal wells. During this same period, several Initial Remedial Measures (IRMs) were implemented at the site. In 1983, granular activated carbon filters were installed on two of New Brighton's wells (5 and 6) to meet peak summertime demands.
