McMahon & Mann completed a groundwater treatability study at the site. The work included constructing and monitoring a treatment test cell utilizing zero-valent iron and wetland biofilter technologies to treat the groundwater to meet effluent standards. Representatives of the USEPA were on site during construction of the test cell.
We collected samples after construction to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. We prepared a report summarizing the test cell design, construction, sampling, and test results.
