The well was in good order. The MW -23A broken hinged was reported to be repaired. However, the wells were not reviewed during the site visit._ It is expected that the system will be shut down to observe rebound of the treated area. The GW monitoring wells would be sampled to observe rebound and therefore indicate if remediation has been completed to an acceptable level. If it has been determined that system be turned off is warranted, the permittee will request permit rescission. The rebound study will be for the period of one year. The MRO has requested that we be kept informe, of any decisions made that would affect the permitted treatment system, so that we are made aware if the. permit will a rescinded, or if the system will be turned back on for futher remediation. The MRO is also aware the system start-up may affect Chronic Toxicity testing negatively during system start up due to chemical build-up that could occur during the rebound study period.
