Additional Data Being Used to Design Permanent Source-Control System
Today we shared with WDNR and property owners the data from surface water samples taken along Ditch B on November 4, 2020 to help inform the location and design of a permanent source-control solution for PFAS. This data includes the regular testing of water quality and PFAS levels approximately 10 feet upstream (SW-L06) and downstream (SW-39) from the interim treatment system in Ditch B and will be collected for as long as conditions allow. We are posting the results from these locations on a regular basis.
