Field investigation of natural attenuation of chlorinated
solvents--Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey
A view along the central axis of the trichloroethylene (TCE) plume toward Green Pond Brook across the Picatinny Arsenal golf course (circa 1992). The lower half of the TCE plume flowed under the golf course and discharged to Green Pond Brook

Trichloroethylene (TCE), which is a common cleaning
solvent and degreaser, has contaminated a sand and gravel aquifer near
Picatinny, New Jersey. Investigations have focused on measuring natural
processes that are removing TCE from ground water (such as degradation
by microbes and loss as vapors to the atmosphere), identifying causes
for the persistence of TCE in the aquifer, and field testing new
remediation technologies.
