Community Advisory Group (CAG)
Fall 1997
A Letter of Intent for technical assistance, a number of site visits, technical presentations, and technical document reviews have been completed for this site. Presentation topics included contaminant fate and transport in groundwater, health risks of TCE-related compounds, and phytoremediation and other remediation technologies. Literature was provided to community members on in-well treatment technologies. Technical reviews were completed for Site Investigation and Cleanup Feasibility Studies. TOSC also assisted with review of the Proposed Plan and helped with preparation of the CAG public comments. TOSC has remained available as needed to assist with technical issues that arise during site cleanup.
