Low levels of tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene have been detected in a supply well at the northernmost extent of Well Field 2. To ensure that groundwater pumping does not adversely affect water levels in areas within and surrounding well fields or water-quality of production wells, the U.S. Geological Survey operates a groundwater monitoring program for the Augusta\u2013Richmond County area. Data collected from this network will provide information to support water-management decisions, provide a basis for future groundwater modeling efforts, and add to the regional characterization of ground-water conditions."
