Hydrogeology:

Chickies quartzite consisting of a this bedded,
medium grained, quartzite, with interbeds of
quartzose schist and sandy mica schist with some
plagioclase-quartz gniess. 20 - 120 feet of
saprolite overlies the quartzite.

Approximately 2800 feet x 2800 feet x 230 feet deep.

Major Contaminants and Maximum Concentrations:
  • - Trichloroethene (2,600 µg/L)

Site Characterization Technologies:

  • - Borehole Geophysics
    • Single Point Resistance
    • Natural Gamma
    • Caliper
