GEOCHECe - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY <br />GROUNDWATER FLOW VELOCITY INFORMATION <br />Groundwater flow velocity information for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional <br />using site specific geologic and soil strata data. If such data are not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary <br />to rely on other sources of information, including geologic age identification, rock stratigraphic unit and soil <br />characteristics data collected on nearby properties and regional soil information. In general, contaminant plumes <br />move more quickly through sandy-gravelly types of soils than silty-clayey types of soils. <br />GEOLOGIC INFORMATION IN GENERAL AREA OF TARGET PROPERTY <br />Geologic information can be used by the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the relative speed <br />at which contaminant migration may be occurring. <br />ROCK STRATIGRAPHIC UNIT GEOLOGIC AGE IDENTIFICATION <br />Era: Cenozoic Category: Stratifed Sequence <br />System: Quaternary <br />Series: Quaternary <br />Code: Q (decoded above as Era, System & Series) <br />Geologic Age and Rock Stratigraphic Unit Source: P.G.
