Specific Comments:
Based on the report which is not dated but apparently submitted after August 2001 by ARCADIS (Geraghty & Miller), the following observations have been made:
Conclusion (1):
Hydrogeologic conditions at the site are not conducive for collecting representative groundwater samples; therefore, concentrations of metals and inorganic parameters are highly variable over time.
While it may be true that conditions at the site are not conducive for collecting groundwater samples using EPA-approved low flow sampling procedures, the report does not indicate whythis fact would result in highly variable concentrations of metals and inorganic parameters.What evidence exists that this is the case in this region? A reference of historical studies isnecessary to substantiate this conclusion. Also, since attaining representative groundwater samples is not possible, why should any of the data shown in this report be acceptable?
Conclusion (2):
The results of the statistical evaluation of the initial two years of groundwater quality data indicate that none of the 14 metals had concentrations which indicated a
