treated at the treatment works. No discharged effluent exceeded a concentration
of .1 .ppb [1(10-8 )% by weight] polychlorinated biphenyls.
A minor erosion problem was discovered on October 24, 1983. The matter was
referred to Mr. William Phillips and corrected by the Department of Transportation.
A post-closure phase monitoring of groundwater, surface water, and surface water
sediments was conducted on November 21, 1983 .. The procedure was observed by
Mr. Joe Lennon and Mr. Marty Allen of the Warren County Health Department. While
analyses have not been completed on the replicate samples collected, all primary
samples indicate no release of PCBs from the disposal area.
