Mr. Carson asked her if she could just wait a few more moments. He <br /> wanted to discuss a couple more things and then switch over to A humet <br /> Pond. He wanted to mentioned that back in July they did put in another <br /> monitoring well around !Massasoit Avenue, They may have heard about a <br /> third well that had been promised by thea. That was the well that they <br /> put in and drove it to bedrock. Just to make sure that there wasn't <br /> anything under-flowing the pond from these other plumes that they saw <br /> out in the area. It was clean to bedrock. They did not see any <br /> contaminants. They had another monitoring point on that side of the pond <br /> as well as the point that serves to the lMashpee Water District because <br /> they have water supplies further down gradient. That area is in a zone of <br /> contribution perhaps. Two other things that he wanted to mention by <br /> Johns Pond. One was the determination by the State Department of Public <br /> Health in terms of safety and using the pond that has improved over the <br /> last several years. That would be that Johns Pond was safe to use for all <br /> recreational purposes either bathing, fishing and so on. The only advisory <br /> that they have put out was for fish consumption related to mercury levels, <br /> which was very commonplace on cape cod and Massachusetts, AFSCE <br /> was committed to continue to provide funds to the board to do their own <br /> independent analysis in some recreational areas. <br /> Mr. Harrington had two more points on .Johns Pond before they moved on <br /> to 1olshumet Pond, could he just discuss the TCE plume that was below <br /> 135 and also the other one for C310 and what was going with those two? <br /> Mr. Carson responded that a few years ago they did a lot of on pond <br /> drilling. Ashumet Pond had a barge out there for a couple of different <br /> summer seasons. There were a lot of holes put into the bottom of the <br /> pond for groundwater quality as they've come up with this depiction of <br /> contaminants going under the pond. He pointed out the areas that were <br /> believed to be discharged based on the poor water that was coming into <br /> the pond at the moment, But, for the most part all of this contamination <br /> underflows the pond, Mr. Harrington asked him about this particular finger <br /> of the plume. It was discovered many years ago. They did have an <br /> extraction well located on Hoophole toad, it had just been boosted from <br /> he thought from 60 gallons per minute to 130 gallons per minute to try and <br /> get more of the contamination out of the ground in that particular area. <br /> They were evaluating that situation. There hasn't been a determination a <br /> to whether or not that's solving the extra capture that they need out <br /> there. They were collecting data on that. It seemed to be doing a pretty <br /> goon job. The...historically in this finger were in the hundreds of parts per <br /> billion. He did recall way back when they were first identifying the plume <br /> area lever there were around 800 parts per billion. This whole southern <br /> portion of the chemical spill 10 plume from the old Beau mark three miles <br /> to the north. Some of the highest levels that they have seen of solvents <br /> 1 <br />
