The objective of this pilot test is to determine the <br /> feasibility and associated costs for arsenic removal from groundwater. This <br /> pilot test is not intended as a remedial action. After the specified test <br /> period is over, the equipment will be removed. <br /> The U.S. Army Toxic and hazardous Materials Agency has recently awarded a <br /> contract to Argonne National Laboratories to study naturally occurring <br /> arsenic levels in the area and possible sources at Sharpe Army Depot. Base <br /> on the results of the Argonne study and subsequent negotiations with the <br /> involved agencies, a decision on whether treatment is necessary will be mada. <br /> Pilot testing of arsenic removal methods is being conducted so that a <br /> treatment system can be designed if arsenic treatment becomes required. By <br /> conducting this pilot test, the Array acknowledges no responsibility for <br /> arsenic levels in groundwater at the site and makes no commitment to <br /> establish dny type of treatment system. <br /> Please direct any questions or comments concerning this matter to the <br /> undersigned , Sharpe Army DepOt, dt (209) 982-2097, or Mr. Craig MacPhee, I1. . <br /> Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency, at (301) 671-3240/3460.
