Abstract |
The Endicott Village Well Field site consists of a municipal well, the Ranney Well, and its zone of influence, and is located in Endicott, Broome County, New York. Ground water pumped from the well serves as the primary drinking water source for the area. Land use in the area of concern includes a golf course, a sewage treatment plant, an airport, a few industrial tracts, two inactive landfills, and the Endicott Landfill. A 1987 Record of Decision (ROD) provided for installation of a packed column air stripper to treat water from the Ranney Well. In 1988, EPA identified the landfilled materials in the Endicott Landfill as the probable source of ground water contamination. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs including benzene, PCE, and TCE. The selected remedial action for this site includes upgrading the existing purge well system by installing an additional purge well between the landfill and the Ranney Well; pumping ground water from the purge well and discharging the water onsite to the sewage treatment plant, or treating the water prior to discharge and monitoring purge well water. The estimated present worth cost for this remedial action, assuming that no treatment will be required is $376,000. |
