A water sample was also collected for analysis of contaminants of interest. Eight soil borings were drilled in the area outside of the south door of the facility in the vicinity of the reported spills. These borings were drilled to an average depth of 16 feet below ground surface. A total of 24 soil samples were collected from these soil borings for laboratory analysis of VOCs.
June A down-hole camera was used to record a continuous visual log of the bedrock borehole section of each deep monitoring well. This video was used to determine the locations, and extent of fractures within the bedrock section of each deep well. These results determined the ideal placement of the apparatus for testing and sample collection. Testing and ground-water sampling was conducted at various vertical intervals in bedrock wells to evaluate aquifer permeability, extent of fracturing, and the presence of contaminants in the bedrock aquifer.
Water samples were also collected for analysis of contaminants of interest. Shallow ground-water sampling was conducted to sample for constituents of interest.
Sediment samples were collected from three manholes and catch basins on the western portion of the Lockformer property. Sediment samples were submitted for laboratory analysis of VOCs. Investigation activities will continue into July and August and will include additional testing and ground-water sampling on bedrock monitoring wells in the vicinity of the site; new wells on property west of the facility; aquifer pump testing; and data analysis and evaluation.
Lockformer has claimed, and continues to claim, that there is no chance of their TCE getting to private wells south of the nearby Burlington Railroad. Lockformer first informed local officials of the on-site TCE problem in , when they asked the Village of Lisle to pass an ordinance banning private wells near the plant.
A resident south of the plant had his well sampled the summer of and found low levels of TCE. Lockformer paid to hook the home up to public water. Six of these wells had TCE exceeding U. The law firm has since filed a federal suit, which has been certified for class-action status for the residents in homes just south of the plant.
In December , Illinois EPA sampled 48 additional wells, found TCE exceeding federal drinking water standards in 9 additional wells and at lower levels in at least 25 others. As in the earlier sampling, only TCE was detected at significant concentrations, not other industrial solvents or any of the commonly seen biological-breakdown products of TCE. Alanis illinois.
