TCE Plume - January 12, 2012

The TCE plume has been cranked up a notch in its expected time frame that it will effect the Cedar River well site. The tip of the TCE plume is now west of Del Mason road. This summer testing was done by putting transducers (sensors) down some sentry wells near Del Mason road. When the CR well was pumping at a high rate, the transducers detected a change in the rate of flow of ground water towards the CR well head. Because of this finding, we have actively been working with our local state representative to get funding from the State of Michigan for evaluation, engineering, a site location and feasibility of a replacement of the CR well. Three representatives from the area traveled to the Capital to have a meeting with the DEQ appropriations committee to start the process of getting funds for this project. At this point in time, it looks somewhat positive that these funds might be approved. This needs to go through the House and Senate for approval. A package of 1.9 million (estimated) will be needed to take this project to its completion.
