Groundwater Monitoring at a Septage Lagoon Facility

摘要

A groundwater monitoring network was installed at a newly constructed earthen septage (septic tank pumpings) treatment and disposal facility at Coventry, CT to study the movement of chloride, nitrogen, trace metals, and hydrocarbons from the septage lagoons and their effect on groundwater quality. Groundwater elevation at the monitoring well were measured prior to water sample collection along with the redox potential, salinity and the specific conductance.
