FINDINGS <br /> Ground water elevation, flow direction, and gradient were determined from field data The <br /> contaminant impact to ground water was quantified by the laboratory analytical data <br /> 3 1 GROUND WATER GRADIENT AND DIRECTION <br /> At the time of the May 2005 sampling event,depths to ground water ranged from 52 02 feet to 53 16 <br /> feet below the tops of the well casings (TQC) Ground water elevations at the site ranged from <br />' 13 73 feet below mean sea level (MSL) in well MW-4 to 14 01 feet below MSL in well MW-5 <br /> (Table 1) During this monitoring event,the ground water levels in wells MW-1 through MW-6 were <br /> at least seven feet below the tops of the well screens, indicating that the wells are screened properly <br />' to yield representative shallow ground water samples The ground water elevation at the site <br /> increased approximately 2 28 feet between the February 2005 and May 2005 monitoring events <br />' The ground water was inferred to be flowing towards the east-northeast at a calculated gradient of <br /> 0 006 foot per foot(ft/ft) Figure 3 illustrates the contoured ground water elevations as measured on <br /> . 09 May 2005 <br /> 1 Advanced GeoEnhronmental,Inc <br /> 1 <br />
