The groundwater flow model was developed to run hypothetical groundwater-flow simulation and particle-tracking analysis which had the following general objectives: 1. Develop and optimize remedial scenario alternatives to capture the VOC plume by adjusting the number pumping wells, adjusting the location of pumping wells and screen intervals and depths, and adjusting pumping rates, 2. Evaluate the optimal locations and methods for post-treatment groundwater disposal, and 3. Assess the potential environmental impacts of remedial alternative scenarios to the environment (stream flows, wetlands, public water supply wells, and saltwater intrusion). 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 2020-5090 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205090).
