The pond's existing <br /> plume, known as Storm Drain 5, contaminates water 100 to 150 ft. from the <br /> shoreline. <br /> Mr. Perry discussed the analysis of the small swath of WE that does not <br /> appear to be coming from the Massachusetts Military Reservation, and is not <br /> a part of the Storm Drain 5 plume. <br /> i <br />
