Field Sampling

Multiple Sites in EPA Region 5: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin

In support of litigation, SSP&A evaluated the impacts to groundwater and surface water from a wastewater treatment system and septic leach field at a commercial complex in Harwich, Massachusetts.

SSP&A was retained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 to evaluate groundwater conditions at the site and to collect environmental media to support the microcosm studies.

Historical operations at the Bannister Federal Complex had led to extensive contamination with chlorinated solvents, PCBs, hexavalent chromium, and petroleum hydrocarbons.
