Partial Abandonment of Groundwater Wells: A Non-Treatment Method to Mitigate for High Arsenic Levels
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2007: Restoring Our Natural Habitat
Abstract
Water agencies across the U.S. face a formidable challenge to address high levels of arsenic encountered in existing groundwater production wells. With recent implementation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's new maximum contaminant level of 10 parts per billion for arsenic in drinking water, water agencies have struggled to identify and implement cost-effective mitigation methods to address arsenic. This paper describes a cost-effective, non-treatment method to mitigate for arsenic by partially abandoning existing groundwater wells.
