Dear Resident:
Several families with ground water supply wells near the PCB
landfill have requested their wells to be tested for PCB. In
response to this request the county Health Department and the
Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources would
like to schedule a date and time to sample your wells.
Every year since the PCB landfill was closed ground water and
streams around the landfill have been tested for PCB. Eighty four
groundwater samples and 92 stream samples have been analyzed and
no PCBs have been found. Fifty-five residential wells within a
three mile radius of the landfill have been previously sampled and
no PCBs were detected. The retesting of your well will provide a
continuing measure of the safety of the PCB landfill. This
additional sampling effort will reaffirm the commitment by the
County and State to provide you with assurance that your drinking
water is safe.
Please contact the Health Department at ~ 257-1185 for a date
and time that you would like for your well to be tested. The
Environmental Science Laboratory in .. tl:~_.:g~J2_artment of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources will ~he samples for PCB and
report the .results directly to you and the Health Department in
approximately four weeks. If you have any questions or concerns
please contact Mr . Dennis Retslaff, Warren County Health Director
or Mr. Bill Meyer, Director of Solid Waste Management at
(919) 733 -4996.
We look forward to providing this service to you.
Sincerely,
Dennis Retzlaff, Health Director
