Sampling was performed by Herst & Associates, Inc. VOC analyses were <br /> performed by TestAmerica,Inc. <br /> ' Well #4 (reported to be the primary water supply well for the facility) exhibited a tetrachloroethene <br /> concentration below the Maximum Contaminant Limit(MCL). The November 2010 tetrachloroethene <br /> concentration at Well#4 was reported at 2.1 µg/1 compared to an MCL of 5 µg/1. Trichloroethene was <br /> detected at Well#4 at a concentration of 0.53 gg/1(estimated value)compared to an MCL of 5 µg/1. <br /> Well #1 (now reported to be a supplemental water supply well that operates about 20% of the year <br /> during peak demand periods) exhibited a tetrachloroethene concentration above the MCL. The <br /> November 2010 tetrachloroethene concentration at Well #1 was reported at 8.0 µg/1 compared to an <br /> MCL of 5 µg/1. Trichloroethene was detected at Well#1 during this event at a concentration of 1.6µg/1 <br /> compared to an MCL of 5 µg/1. <br /> Well#2(now reported to be utilized only during short term emergencies, should they occur)exhibited <br /> a tetrachloroethene concentration above the MCL. The November 2010 tetrachloroethene <br /> ' concentration at Well#2 was reported at 6.1 gg/l compared to an MCL of 5 µg/1. Trichloroethene was <br /> detected at 1.4µg/1 compared to an MCL of 5 µg/1. <br /> ' During the November 2010 sampling event, the indoor faucet sample location had a tetrachloroethene <br /> concentration of 1.8 µg/1 compared to an MCL of 5 gg/l, and trichloroethene was not detected at the <br /> indoor faucet during this event. <br /> ' Quality assurance samples collected during the November 2010 sampling event included a field blank <br /> at Well #4, a field blank at the indoor faucet, a trip blank, and duplicate samples at Well #4 and the <br /> ' indoor faucet. The field blank sample at Well #4 was collected to provide an indication of VOCs <br /> present in the ambient outdoor air or the laboratory analytical process. The field blank sample at the <br /> indoor faucet location was collected to provide an indication of.VOCs present in the ambient indoor air <br /> or the laboratory analytical process. The trip blank sample was collected to provide an indication of <br /> 1 <br /> 4631 North St.Peters Parkway Telephone(636)939-9111 <br /> St.Charles,Missouri 63304 Fax(636)939-9757 <br />
