Abstract |
This Record of Decision (ROD) sets forth the selected remedy for the Barkhamsted-New Hartford Landfill Site, which involves the restoration of contaminated groundwater by monitored natural attenuation (MNA). Institutional controls will be used to restrict the future use of the Site and prevent ingestion and dermal contact with groundwater. Groundwater contamination at the Site, which includes volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, and low concentrations of metals, constitutes a low-level threat. As a result of previous actions at the Site, groundwater is the only medium requiring remedial action. All source materials and principal threats have been addressed under the previous action. It is anticipated that the selected remedy is the final site remedy. |
