Reflect on the potential issues of fate and transport of one of the contaminants at your Superfund site using the questions below.
These are the EPA’s guidance for when a fate and transport evaluation is required.
What is the likelihood of contamination migrating from a surficial aquifer to a deeper aquifer that serves as a drinking water source?
What is the direction and path of a particular groundwater plume?
What is the potential for soil or sediment contaminants to accumulate in plants, animals, or fish?
What is the likelihood of a groundwater contaminant volatilizing and migrating via vapor intrusion into indoor air?
What is the likelihood that the degradation of volatile organic compounds will produce additional contaminants that may be of health concern?
To support your assertions, answer those questions to the best of your ability using information about your site and the contaminants in question.
