OSTI ID:5842408

The New Brighton/Arden Hills/St. Anthony site is located approximately two miles north of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. The City of St. Anthony, located directly north of the Twin Cities, is one of several communities which obtain its municipal water supply from the Prairie due Chien-Jordan aquifer system. The City of St. Anthony obtains its water supply from well numbers 4 and 5 and an interconnection to the City of Roseville's water-distribution system. In June 1981, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) detected VOC contamination in the Praire du Chien-Jordan aquifer system used for municipal drinking water in New Brighton. Subsequently, the City of St. Anthony has also detected VOC contamination in their three Praire du Chien-Jordan aquifer wells; well number 3, 4 and 5. Well 4 is the city's major source of water. Well 5 and the Roseville interconnection are used for summer, peak, or emergency situations. Well 3 was shut down in early 1984 due to VOC contamination. As the number of contaminated wells within the Praire due Chien-Jordan began increasing, EPA initiated several Initial Remedial Measures.
