Soil Contamination as a Groundwater Contamination Indicator

The goal of the project is to develop a defensible method to trigger groundwater monitoring at sites at which contaminants have been released to soil. The project is in response to a desire to improve the existing groundwater monitoring trigger. Such an improved trigger would enable the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy (NJDEPE) to allocate resources more efficiently and to preserve public health more effectively.Prepared for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy (NJDEPE) Research Contract P30120 Cambridge Environmental Inc. 58 Charles St. Cambridge, MA 02141Purpose: To develop a defensible method to trigger groundwater monitoring at sites at which contaminants have been released to soil
