Chapter
I
This report, Chapter I, provides detailed information
and interpretations of parameter sensitivity,
variability, and uncertainty associated with
model simulations of groundwater flow, contaminant
fate and transport, and distribution of drinking
water at Tarawa Terrace and vicinity. It relies
on information, data, and simulation results
from calibrated models presented in previously
published ATSDR reports on Tarawa Terrace -
Chapters A, B, C, E, and F. [PDF, 9616KB]
**NOTE**: A CD-ROM, included with the
report, contains calibrated model input files
for use with the public domain model codes MODFLOW,
MT3DMS, EPANET 2, and PEST.

Chapter A - Executive Summary This
report concludes in its analyses of the Tarawa
Terrace drinking water system at U.S. Marine
Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina that
former Marines and their families who lived
in Tarawa Terrace family housing units during
the period November 1957 through February 1987
received drinking water contaminated with the
dry-cleaning solvent tetrachloroethylene (PCE)
at levels above the current maximum contaminant
level (MCL) of 5 ppb. [PDF, 2190KB]
Chapter A - Master Plate
This is a map of the location of wells
and boreholes, groundwater-flow model boundary,
and present-day (2004) water distribution systems
serving Tarawa Terrace, Holcomb Boulevard, and
Hadnot Point and vicinity, U.S. Marine Corps
Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. [PDF, 1951KB]
Chapter A - Summary of Findings
This is the full 116-page report
of ATSDR's analyses of the Tarawa Terrace Drinking
Water System at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp
Lejeune, North Carolina. ATSDR concludes in
its analyses that former Marines and their families
who lived in the Camp Lejeune Tarawa Terrace
family housing units during the period November
1957 through February 1987 received drinking
water contaminated with the dry-cleaning solvent
tetrachloroethylene (PCE) at levels above the
current maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 5
ppb. [PDF, 6288KB]

Chapter
C
This report, Chapter C, describes
the development and calibration of a digital
model applied to the simulation of groundwater
flow within the Tarawa Terrace aquifer and Upper
Castle Hayne aquifer system at and in the vicinity
of the Tarawa Terrace housing areas. [PDF, 5347KB]
Chapter
D
The Chapter D report provides abridged
information describing the most salient properties
and biodegradation of 27 chlorinated volatile
organic compounds detected during groundwater
studies in the United States. This information
is condensed from an extensive list of reports,
papers, and literature published by the U.S.
Government, various State governments, and peer-reviewed
journals. The list includes literature reviews,
compilations, and summaries describing volatile
organic compounds in ground water. [PDF, 2274KB]

the occurrence and distribution of tetrachloroethylene
and related contaminants within the Upper Castle
Hayne Aquifer System at and in the vicinity
of the Tarawa Terrace housing area. There also
is a brief description of the occurrence and
distribution of benzene, toluene, ethylene,
and xylene (BTEX) and related compounds. [PDF,
2821KB]
Chapter
F
This report, Chapter F, describes
the development and calibration of a digital
model applied to the simulation of the fate
and transport of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) within
the Tarawa Terrace aquifer and the Castle Hayne
aquifer system at and in the vicinity of the
Tarawa Terrace housing area, U.S. Marine Corps
Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. [PDF, 5166KB]

Chapter
G
This report, Chapter G, describes
the three-dimensional simulation of the fate,
degradation, and advective dispersive transport
