| DESCRIPTION: The site investigation and
characterization is expected to assist in assessing the validity
of some of the claims. The first phase of the work plan allocates
various types of investigation to different areas of the site.
The areas to be addressed include hexachloride zone, first generation
cells, and ferric chloride road spreading. The purpose of a
roundwater investigation is to assess the presence of potential
contaminants in site media and to provide coarse delineation
in some areas as well as to characterize potential environmental
impacts at the Site. In order to evaluate the both the extent
of horizontal and vertical distribution of potential contaminants
within the Hexachloride Zone, boreholes and test pits will be
advanced to 3 metres. The groundwater investigation will gather
data on the groundwater quality and flow of the shallowest water
bearing zone at the Site. Depending on the results of the first
phase, a second phase to further delineate and characterize the
contamination may take place. |
