Davis, J.H. and King, J.N., 2016, MODFLOW 2000 and MT3DMS models of potentiometric head and trichloroethene concentration at the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant, Fridley, Minnesota: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F798853M.
Summary
This model is a preliminary characterization of trichloroethene transport in the surficial and Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer systems at the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant in Fridley, Minnesota. The characterization first considered 2001 conditions using a MODFLOW and MT3DMS, followed by an application of this 2001 model to 2011 conditions. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of the Navy, used the steady-state, uniform-density groundwater flow model MODFLOW to calculate potentiometric heads in aquifer systems on August 20, 2001; and the single-phase, conservative, non-reactive, miscible transport model MT3DMS to calculate trichloroethene concentrations in aquifer systems measured in 2001.

This groundwater model was created to preliminarily characterize trichloroethene transport in the surficial and Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer systems at the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant in Fridley, Minnesota.
