Data Being Used to Design Permanent Source-Control System

Today we shared with WDNR and property owners the data from surface water samples taken along Ditch B on January 22 and January 27, 2021 to help inform the location and design of the Groundwater Extraction & Treatment System (GETS) for PFAS in groundwater and surface water.

The data below includes the regular testing of water quality and PFAS levels approximately 10 feet upstream (SW-L06) and downstream (SW-39) from the interim treatment system in Ditch B and will be collected and posted on a regular basis for as long as conditions allow.
