100-K Area

Pump-and-treat systems in the 100-K Area have been only marginally successful. They may not be successful until the primary sites responsible for the chromium contamination are remediated.

Pump-and-treat systems in the 100-K Area have been operating for several years with only marginal success. The success of these actions in the other areas has been in large part due to the efforts that have removed the bulk of the contaminated soil and reduced the continuing release of chromium into the groundwater. Actions to remove the sources in 100-K Area are scheduled to begin in 2003, but will not be complete until the end of 2012. Achieving the remedial action objectives for this interim remedy is unlikely until the primary sites responsible for the chromium contamination are remediated.
