Approximately 44,000 gallons of industrial solvent wastes were disposed in pits on a farm near Brentwood, Tennessee, in 1978. Contaminants associated with these wastes were reported in the soil and shallow ground water on the site in 1985. The purpose of the investigation was to (1) develop an understanding of the geology and ground-water hydrology of the site and surrounding area in order to determine potential contaminant pathways, and (2) to provide sufficient geologic and hydrologic information to enable the State to evaluate remedial-action alternatives and subsequent monitoring of the area. The report documents the results of the investigation, and includes information on geology and hydraulic characteristics of the subsurface materials and on the surface- and ground-water systems of the study area.
