Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, developed a model for used with MODFLOW-2005 and MODPATH5 to evaluate groundwater flow and advective transport under pre- and post-remediation conditions in the crystalline-rock aquifer in the vicinity of the Savage Municipal Water-Supply Well Superfund site Milford, New Hampshire. In addition, a previously developed model (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20045176 and https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20121079) was used with MOC3D to evaluate the solute-transport of tetrachloroethylene (PCE). In 2010 PCE, a chlorinated volatile organic compound, was detected in groundwater from monitoring wells tapping [...]

Purpose

The purpose of the model is to assess groundwater flow and advective transport of PCE- contaminated groundwater in the crystalline-rock aquifer of the Milford area. The development of the area-wide model and linkages established by this study with previously developed Milford-Souhegan glacial-drift (MSGD) aquifer models will help facilitate the development of remedial strategies for this Superfund site. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2020-5137 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205137)
