Investigation of the Potential Source Area, Contamination Pathway, and Probable Release History of Chlorinated- Solvent-Contaminated Groundwater at th
Overview
The Capital City Plume (CCP) Site is characterized by shallow groundwater contamination beneath a widespread area of downtown Montgomery, Alabama. The primary contaminant is perchloroethylene (PCE), but other volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as trichloroethylene (TCE), and inorganic compounds, such as chromium, have been detected (Black & Veatch, 2002; Malcolm Pirnie, Inc., 2003; Alabama Department of Public Health, 2004; Hall, 2007). PCE is of concern because it was detected in a Montgomery publicsupply well in 1991 at concentrations of 7.1 micrograms per liter (μg/L) and at 160 μg/L in 2009-both above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA; 2009b) National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 5 μg/L (http: //water.epa.gov/ drink/contaminants/index.cfm, accessed March 3, 2011)
