Previous remedies to clean up the contaminated site included the excavation and off-site disposal of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated soils, capping the Site and surrounding it with a perimeter slurry wall to contain remaining constituents in the soil and groundwater, the recovery and treatment of trichloroethylene (TCE)-contaminated groundwater, and institutional controls (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA], 2018). A conceptual site model (CSM) does not yet exist and is needed to (1) understand how site conditions have changed since earlier investigations; (2) re-evaluate contaminants of concerns at the Site; and (3) determine whether additional remedial actions are needed. A five-phase approach was proposed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to obtain the data needed to develop a CSM. As the third phase in that approach, the USGS in cooperation with the EPA, collected groundwater samples at discrete vertical sampling intervals from four wells, former recovery well RW-1R and monitoring wells MW-24, MW-101, and MW-102, using three types of passive samplers at the Site in September 2023.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9GGYO21", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.65394acad34ee4b6e05bbbe8.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_65394acad34ee4b6e05bbbe8", "keyword": ["AGI Gore sampler", "Environmental Protection Agency", "Geneva Industries/Fuhrmann Energy Superfund Site", "Harris County", "Houston", "Superfund", "Texas", "USGS:65394acad34ee4b6e05bbbe8", "conceptual site model", "diffusion", "geoscientificInformation", "groundwater", "hydrology", "low-density polyethylene strip", "passive diffusion bag", "passive sampling", "polychlorinated biphenyls", "semivolatile organic compounds", "volatile organic compounds"], "modified": "2024-09-13T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-95.2502000, 29.6593200, -95.2494900, 29.6598900", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Passive water-quality sampling at discrete vertical intervals to support the development of a conceptual site model at the Geneva Industries/Fuhrmann Energy Superfund Site, Houston, Texas, 2023"}
