     This case study is one of a series of examples given



to demonstrate appropriate procedures for an Alternate Con-



centration Limit (ACL) application under 40 CFR, Part 264.94(b).



The case study was designed to serve as a model to aid in



implementing the draft Part I ACL Guidance Document (June 1985).



The case studies are developed from actual site reports that



have been submitted under RCRA or CERCLA for actual facilities.



Some information presented in the site reports has been changed



to create more suitable case studies, making the case studies



hypothetical examples of ACL demonstrations.

                           INTRODUCTION


     This document is an example application by Facility C for

Alternative Concentration Limits (ACLs) under 40 CFR 264.94 for.

hazardous constituents which have been detected in the ground

water near to the facility.  The constituents are toluene and

1,1,1-trichloroethane.

     Facility.C is located in northeastern glacial terrain

upgradient from a wetland area.  There are no residences located

between the facility and the wetland area.  There are no domestic,

commercial, or industrial uses of the ground water passing beneath

the facility before the ground water discharges to the wetland

area.  The ACL application is based upon an examination of 'water

'quality criteria for toluene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane in two        0

wetland receptors.  The relationship between receptor concentrations

and compliance point concentrations are simulated with a numerical

model which assumes that dispersion is the only mechanism for

attenuation between these points.  The application demonstrates

that there are presently no human receptors and proposes ground-water
                                                        i*
use controls that will prevent future human exposures.

     The application is presented in five sections following this

introduction.  They are site characteristics, hydrogeology,

exposure pathways, contaminant transport model, and proposed

ACLs.  The ACL factors listed in 40 CFR 264.94(b) are discussed

within these five sections.

     The cranberry bog located 1-1/4 mile to the southwest of the
facility is a water-intensive agricultural operation.  The -bo.q
is irrigated with waters from Pond»A during harvest.and periods
of drought.
     Pond A is used for sport fishing by local residents.  Pond B
is larger and more accessable than Pond A, and is used for swimming,
boating, fishing and other water recreation.

FACILITY OPERATION
     Facility C is currently, in post-closure operation.  The
facility had consisted of four clay lined surface impoundments
which, between 1977 and 1982, received bulk and containerized
hazardous wastes generated by nearby industrial facilities.  These
surface impoundments are shown in Figure 2-2.  Ground-water con-
tamination by toluene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane was detected in
                              2-3

1978, and appeared to originate from leaks in at least two of

the four units:  the western disposal cell and the northwest

disposal cell.  Efforts were made to contain the leaks in 1978,

1979, and 1980.  The.units were removed from service in 1982,

when it was determined that the leaks could not be contained.

     In 1983; the bulk and containerized wastes and sludges were

removed from the surface impoundments and the units were capped

and graded.  However, some contaminated soils were not removed
                                              i
and the ground-water quality did not return to background levels.

The incomplete source removal necessitated that the facility meet

post-closure requirements under §§264.117-264.120 including site

maintenance and" monitoring requirements.  The post-closure monitoring

program has continued to detect 1,1,1-trichloroethane and toluene.

Furthe-r--details on the operating characteristics of the facility

are provided in the Part B application.

HAZARDOUS CONSTITUENTS IN THE WASTE

     Accurate records were not maintained at the time that hazardous

wastes were deposited at this site.  The list of constituents

suspected to be present at this site has been developed from

sampling-and analysis of waste materials removed from the site, and
         )
soils on or near the site.  The list of contaminants detected  is

presented in Table 2-2.


HAZARDOUS CONSTITUENTS IN GROUND WATER AND SURFACE WATER
                                   s
     1,1,1-Trichloroethane and toluene have persisted in the ground

water beneath the site and in the downgradient surface waters.

                         "  HYDROGEOLOGY  -

     Facility C is located in glaciated terrain in the northeastern
United States.  The local topography is characterized by small
hills and marshland.  Figure 3-1 shows the location of the facility
on a hill overlooking two swamps.  Constituents which have leaked
from the facility have been observed to migrate toward both
swamps.    .
     The geology and hydrology of this facility have been described
in detail in the Part B application.  This section summarizes
the information on regional and site geology and hydrology that
is pertinent to this ACL application.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
     Surficial deposits in the site area are unconsolidated
materials of Pleistocene and Recent age which discontinuously
mantle an irregular bedrock floor.  Pleistocene deposits are
glacial in origin.  Recent deposits, being less abundant, consist
of stream and river alluvium, swamp deposits and talus. , During
the Pleistocene, the advancing ice sheet scoured away Pre-qlacial
soils and weathered bedrock, plucking considerable.-quantities of  '
fresh rock as well.  These debris were incorporated into the basal
ice.  Deposition took place either directly, as lodgement till
beneath the advancing ice, or later as ablation during glacial
retreat.  The latter materials were often reworked by meltwater
streams near the front of the ice sheet or adjacent to isolated
                               3-1

of sand and gravel.  'Postglacial deposits (Recent) are typically
strips of alluvial silt, sand and gravel which line stream beds.
Talus slopes are well developed at the base of cliffs where
frost action and chemical weathering have loosened weak materials
from higher elevation..  Swamp deposits are typically deposits of
organic debris silt and fine sand.  Located -in topographic basins,
the swamp deposits may include layers of impure peat.
     The bedrock is dominated by quartz, feldspar gneiss, though
other rock types are,present.  Rock ages range from Precambian
to Pennsylvanian.  The granite gneiss which dominates the quadrangle
and site area is a light gray biotite gneiss which .exhibits a
strong foliation.  This foliation strikes generally northward
and dips westward, an attitude.which is present in beddina structures
in the other rock units.  Locally, shear zones cross the above
foliation.  In these zones, rocks are typically finer grained.
No major faults have been mapped in the quadrangle.

SITE GEOLOGY
     The hill on which the site is located is composed of a .thick,
glacial deposit with many surface boulders (some reaching 5 to 8
feet in diameter).  Many of the granite gneiss cobbles and boulders
exposed in pits near the site exhibit chemical weathering along
joints and between feldspar and biotite .grains (rottenstpne).
Borings indicate that the glacial deposit may be at a depth in
excess of 40 feet beneath the 8-acre disposal area, decreasing  .
to approximately 20 feet near Swamp- A.  Boring logs also indicate
many washed zones within the till which are comprised principally
                                3-3

-------
of sand and gravel.  These zones of internal stratification were
clearly exposed just northeast of the disposal site.  The hiqh
percentages of sand and gravel encountered in the boreholes and
exposures indicates a sandy ablation till.
     Swamp A consists of some recent organic and lake deposits,
and is underlain by the same sandy, ablation till.  Till in the
vicinity of Swamp B is shallow to bedrock, with occasional points
of ground-water discharge from bedrock springs.
       Two geological cross sections were prepared using boring
logs compiled from field investigations.• The orientation of
these cross sections is shown in Figure .3-2.   The northeast-southwest
section A-A1 (Figure 3-3) runs from BRW-2 just southwest of
the disposal site, ending at MW-24.  This section allows for a
subsurface interpretation adjacent to disposal 'areas and generally
perpendicular to ground-water flow.  Borings MW-28 and MW-24 at
the north end of the section do not show the abundance of boulders
described in logs to the south.  This absence/ of boulders may be
indicative of fine grained material deposited as outwash from
the ablation -till to the south.  .However, a gravel pit 100 feet
to -the south of MW-28 exhibits many cobbles and large boulders.
     Section B-B' (Figure 3-4). is roughly perpendicular to A-A1
and provides a subsurface interpretation along a ground-water
flow line typical of the northwest lobe.  The section transects
the north end of the west disposal cell.  A predominance of sand
and gravel in borings at the west end of section B-B1 suggests
deposition of washed material at lower elevations.  Though some

pockets of fine sand and gravel exists in the borings higher on

     Fractured bedrock beneath the site has been recorded  in
several borings.  Boring log BRW-1 shows fractures at 45 feet
below ground surface with an associated pumping rate of 45 gpm.
Boring BRW-2 shows weathered gneiss at 85 feet with a pump rate
of 12 gpm.

PRECIPITATION
     Thirty years of precipitation data are available -from a
meteorological station located 20 miles to the northeast of the
facility.  The average annual precipitation is 42.6 inches and
varies relatively little from month to month.  The monthly average
precipitation is shown in Table 3-1.

SURFACE WATER HYDROLOGY
     Surface water runoff from the disposal site enters two
subbasins of the Brook A watershed.  The Swamp A watershed
is separated from the watershed to the east by a surface
water divide (see Figure 3-1).  Most surface runoff flows
towards the Swamp A subbasin.  _Water entering Swamp A flows
to Pond A and into the cranbery bog (see Figure 2-1).  A
much smaller amount of.site surface runoff flows to the
southwest in a small subbasin which drains to Swamp B.
Water entering Swamp B flows to Pond B and into the cranbe-ry
bog (see Figure 2-1).

GROUND-WATER HYDROLOGY
   . Ground water beneath the site flows in two, hydraulically
interconnected water-bearing formations.  The upper portion of
the aquifer consists of unconsolidated, sandy glacial till and
swamp deposits, which' is underlain by approximately 30 feet of
fractured bedrock.  Hydraulic conductivities for the unconsolidated
deposits range from 1.0 x 10~4 to 3.0 x 10~3 cm/sec, with
similar values for the bedrock.  Vertical movement of water from
one formation to the other is governed by local differences in
conductivity between till and bedrock, and by differences in
hydrostatic pressure between the two units.
     In the upland area of the disposal site, piezometric head
elevations from wells screened in bedrock are lower than elevations
measured in nearby overburden wells.  This difference refl.e-c.ts—a
downward component of flow, and consequently the disposal site
represents an area of ground-water recharge.   For lowland
areas, the gradients are reversed and ground water discharges into
the swamp deposits.  Evidence to support this conclusion can be
obtained from water level records taken from nested piezometers
(MW-35 and MW-33) in the vicinity of Swamp A.  This scenario is
typical of the 'glaciated terrain in the northeast.   In the vicinity
of Swamp B, the till is shallow to bedrock, resulting in occasional
points of ground-water discharge.  The bedrock spring noted in
Figure 3-1 is an example of this mechanism.
    Data obtained from the monitoring well network  currently
established at the site were used to develop a ground-water

contour map (Figure 3-5).  The upland area immediately west of

the site between Swamp A and Swamp B (see Figure- 3-1) -is believed

to act as a ground-water divide due to its elevation and relatively

low permeability (10-5 to 10~4).  Because of the site's

location on a convex hill slope, and the presence of ,a possible

ground-water divide through the disposal area'/ contaminants

introduced at the site have been observed to miqrate as two

lobes to the northwest and southwest.  The regional, surface

water divide to the east (Figure 3-1) is believed to correspond

to a similar ground-water divide.  Under natural conditions, the

flow directions dictated by the local and regional divides are

believed to remain throughout the seasons.
                                       1
     Although no bedrock boring logs exist for the area to the

west of Swamp A to determine the ext.ent of weathering/fracturing

at depth, seismic profiles indicate a water table surface that

follows bedrock topography.  The northern-most seismic data

points in the west profile show a higher water table elevation

in the west bedrock outcrop than that of Swamp A.  This implies

ground-water flow from the west towards Swamp A.

     Almost all of the ground water which flows from the site

originates from precipitation.  Due to its proximity to a ground-

water divide (believed to coincide with the surface water divide

of Figure 3-1), the site represents an upland headwaters area

where the regional ground-water flow contribution.is expected

to be limited. . In the Swamp A subbasin, virtually all of the

water leaves as evapotranspiration and runoff to the swamp.

Under natural conditions with no major water diversions, there
is no interbasin -transfer of water.
     The aquifer properties of principal interest to the analysis
in Section 5 are hydraulic conductivity, effective porosity, and
dispersivity.  The results of field and laboratory tests to
determine these parameters are described in detail .in the Part B
application and are summarized below.
Hydraulic Conductivity
     Field data available for a determination of hydraulic
conductivity include: '
       0  Aquifer tests performed at wells BRW-1 and BRW-2;
       0  An- analysis  of grain-size distributions for soil
          samples obtained during installation of wells MW-8,
   	MW-9, and MW-19; and
       0  A minimum of five slug tests at each of the fallowing
          wells:  MW-27 (bedrock) and MW-5 and MW-15 (overburden).
Table 3-2 summarizes this data.  Conductivity values are generally
within one order of magnitude in the two major water-bearing
formations.
Effective Porosity
     The field data available for analysis of effective porosity
are the two aquifer tests at BRW-1 and BRW-2, where the calculated
values were 0.25 and 0.10, respectively.  Well BRW-1 stressed
primarily overburden whereas the test at BRW-2 stressed primarily
bedrock.  The resulting calculated values were consistent with
published ranges for fractured gneiss (BRW-2) and unconsolidated
sands and gravel (BRW-1).

Dispersivity

     A chloride tracer study was performed at the site and is

documented in the Part B application.  Data obtained from the

tracer study provides calculated dispersivities of 208 feet

(longitudinal) and 53 feet (transverse).  These values are within

published ranges for sites of similar scale.and aquifer

characteristics (Freeze and Cherry, 1979).

                            SECTION 4
                        EXPOSURE PATHWAYS

     Contaminants leaching from Facility C will generally  follow
the fate and transport paths outlined in Figure 4-1.  The  northwest
lobe of contamination flows toward Swamp A and on to Pond  A and
the cranberry bog, all the while being diminished by a variety
of physical/ chemical and biological mechanisms.  The southwest
lobe of contamination flows toward the bedrock spri.ng and  then
to Swamp B, Pond B and the cranberry bog.  Exposures to contaminants
released from the facility may occur at various po-ints along
these paths, but due to the probable attenuation of the
plume by dilution and volatilization, the more critical points
of exposure will tend to be closer to the source.
     This 'analysis of potential exposures te the hazardous constituents
considers both human and environmental receptors..  No current Human
exposures to contaminants from this facility have been identified,
but humans could be exposed to contaminants through contact with'
ground water, air, the swamp or pond surface waters, or through a
contaminated food chain.  Ecosystems in the swamps, ponds, or
cranberry bog are all potential contaminant receptors.

POTENTIAL HUMAN EXPOSURE
Exposure to Contaminated Drinking Water
     At'this time there are no wells in the ground water passing
.beneath the site; however, there are no local or State laws to
prevent a person from drilling a well into the contaminant plume.

     The likelihood of future  drinking  water exposure to  the

 contaminated  ground water is small  because the  high water table


 and poor load-bearing capacity make the land unsuitable for  residential

 structures.   Section  6 proposes  controls  which  will assure  that  no

 such well  is  constructed.                                            .

 Exposure to Contaminated Food  Chain

     Both  of  the constituents  addressed in this application  have

 water quality criteria derived by EPA.  The  criteria  established


 to  protect human health from toxic  properties of 1,1,1-trichloroethane

 ingested, through water and  contaminated aquatic organisms or

 ingested through contaminated  aquatic organisms alone,  are  18.4  mg/1

 and 1.03 gm/1 respectively.  The criteria established to  protect human


 health fronr the toxic properties of toluene  ingested  through  water  and

 contaminated  aquatic  organisms,.or  ingested  through contaminated aquatic

 organisms  alone, are  14.3 mg/1 and  424  mg/1,  respectively (EPA,  1980).

 Direct Contact

     Direct contact with contaminated surface water  is  a  potential

 route of exposure, since contaminated ground water from Facility

•C  discharges  to Swamp A, where it flows as surface water  into

 Pond A.  Similarly, contaminated ground water also discharges to

 Swamp B  where it flows into Pond B.  Pond A  is  used by  local

 residents  for sport fishing.   Pond  B, being  larger and  more

 accessible than Pond  A, is  used  for fishing,  boating, and swimming.
                                4-3

-------
     There is a possibility that people may come into contact with
the waters of Pond A while fishing and the waters of Pond B through
swimming, boating, fishing, or other recreational activities.
However, the.potential for nearby residents to come into contact
with soils, sediments or water in the swamps must be weighed
against the probability of people gaining access to these areas.
Aerial photographs of the site (presented in the Part B applica-
tion) show dense vegetation.  Investigation teams have also
reported difficulty accessing some areas of the swamp.  The'
controls presented in Section 6 will take further steps to prevent
access.

POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE
    Three types of environments were initially- considered at risk
of exposure:   the marshes, ponds, and cranberry bog.  However/
sampling data (shown in the Part B application) reveals that the
cranberry crop is not at risk of exposure to contaminants from
this site for several reasons.  Contaminants from the site are
discharged to the swamps where they are volatilized, biodegraded,
and adsorbed  onto peat.  Very small amounts, of contaminants have
been detected in the inlet to Pond A, from Swamp A.  Those .
contaminants  are further degraded, diluted, and volatilized in
the pond water.  Contaminants from the site have not and are not
expected to reach the cranberry crop at the south side of Pond A.
No contaminants have been detected in Pond B.  '
                               4-4

-------
     Assessment of-hydrogeologic data available.for the site
indicates that ground water from the site is discharging into
the Swamp A, Swamp B, and the bedrock spring.  The major impact
will be on organisms in or using these surface waters.
     The swamp environments contain plant and animal organisms
that may be adversely affected by site contaminants.  While no
detailed ecological data have been gathered on the biota inhabiting
the Swamp A, it is possible to identify species that are known
to occur in nearby marsh areas.  This information may be.useful
in tracing possible pathways of contaminant migration.  The
information provided in Appendix-A was supplied by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service.  The data are extracted from the New England
Animal Species Data Base for the county JLn which the site is
located.  Three distinct habT&at types are given:  1) emergent
wetland (Table B-l); 2)  scrub/shrub wetland (Table B-2); and 3)
forested wetland (Table B-3).  The aerial photographs taken of
the site show swamp maple and other trees.  There is no reported
evidence of gross vegetative stress at the site.
Endangered Species
     No endangered species have been identified in the vicinity
of Facility C and none are suspected to inhabit the area.  The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has provided a letter to this
effect that is included in the Part B application.

of ground water-can no longer be transmitted through tight bedrock
joints and fractures.  Surface water bodies are represented as
constant head boundaries.  The other boundaries represented
in a plan view of the model area are represented by no-flow
streamlines.
   The conceptual aquifer is thus represented as a single layer
unconfined aquifer where flow is horizontal.  Although vertical
gradients have been measured at the site, they are generally
small and should not -significantly invalidate an assumption of
horizontal flow.  The single-layer approach also assumes similar
aquifer characteristics for both till and bedrock.  Data obtained
from these two water-bearing formations support this assumption.
The"RANDOM-WALK model was selected to simulate the two-dimensional
flow and contaminant transport characteristics of'thi.s site.—
    The RANDOM-WALK technique of Modeling contaminant transport
has been proven to be a sound engineering tool through many
years of testing.  This model first generates a flow field
utilizing the finite-difference method.  From the flow field,
velocities are calculated and particles introduced to the system
are "tracked" through the aquifer in response to the processes
of advection and dispersion. . For a more detailed discussion of
this model, see Appendix C.
    Some important characteristics of 'the RANDOM-WALK technique
include: (1) an ability to represent the dynamics of a two-
dimensional flow field and the effects of recharge due to rainfall,
and (2) dispersion coefficients are randomly modified to accommodate
                               5-3

-------
uncertainties associated with a range of possible dispersivity
values, and (3) "due to the random nature of particle movement,
some judgment is required when reviewing model output.  For example,
where concentration is very low, one node within the model may
exhibit no contamination whereas surrounding nodes may reveal
contamination.  The random particle movement effects the precision
of the simulation, but not its suitability for the ACL demonstra-
tion.  With properly conservative input assumptions and cautious
interpretation of the output, this model is an appropriate tool
for ACL demonstrations.

INPUT DATA AND ASSUMPTIONS
    The critical input data and assumptions for the RANDOM-WALK
model include aquifer properties,  bou-ndary conditions, and pre-
cipitation recharge.  The measured aquifer properties are presented
in Section 3.   The hydraulic conductivity was shown to range
from. 2.lxlO~4 cm/sec (bedrock well), to 3.2xlp~3 cm/sec.  For the
purpose of this model,  the conductivity was set at 1.5x10"^ cm/sec
in all areas except the hill to the west of the site which lies
between the two lo'bes.   The conductivity in that area was .set at
1.5xlO~4.   The loSxlO"3 value lies in the middle of the range
observed for the path of the northwest lobe.
     The measured values for effective porosity were 0.10 in the
fractured bedrock and 0.25 in the overburden.  The model used a
value of 0.20.  The relationship between effective porosity and
dispersion is inversely proportional (i.e., as effective porosity
                               5-4

-------
increases, both-the interstitial velocity and porosity decrease).
Thus, a conservative approach which leads to less dispersion and
higher plume concentrations will be to employ an effective porosity
near the upper end of the measured range.
     The measured values for dispersivity were .208 feet (longitudinal)
and 53 feet (transverse).  Following the rationale noted in the
previous paragraph, conservative values were obtained by reducing
the measured dispersivities.  The model used a longitudinal
dispersivity of 100 feet and a transverse dispersivity of 25
feet.
     The boundary conditions were set as constant head at the
swamps and along the low lying northeastern boundary and as
no-flow along the other"boundaries.  All flow into-the model
grid was as.sumed to be via precipitation.  Precipitation recharge
to the ground water was estimated by taking 30 percent of the
42.6 inch mean annual precipitation, or 12.68 inches, then roundina
down to 12 inch/yr.  This 30 percent recharge value was estimated
from water budget data presented in the Part B application.

MODEL SETUP                •     .
     A three-step procedure was employed to achieve a' realistic
(but conservative) simulation of the site.  The three steps are:
1) construct a regional flow model; 2) construct a local flow
model using the regional flow information to establish local
                      *
boundary conditions; and 3) simulate contaminant transport within
the local flow system.
                               5-5

-------
     First, a regional flow  field was defined covering  the
conceptual model area shown  in Figure 5-1.  Constant head values
were assigned along the model boundaries comprised of surface
water bodies.  To the east,  an arbitrary, no-flow streamline was
established at a distance sufficiently far from the source such
that the flow field near the area of interest is practically
unaffected by the uncertainty associated with the position and
shape of this boundary.  A sensitivity analysis on the  no-flow
boundary showed that repositioning to different locations had no
adverse impacts on the head  distribution near the area  of interest,
Figure.5-2 shows the nodal discretization scheme necessary for
the finite-difference solution of regional ground water flow.
     Within the regional model, aquifer properties were assumed
-ta-Jbe__c.onst'ant/ except near  the topographic high west of the
site where conductivities are substantially less and ground
water mounding occurs.  Uniform recharge was assumed over the
entire model area at 12-inches per year of infiltrating rainfall.
     In the second step,  output from the regional flow model was
used as input to a local model.  The local model exhibits a
finer discretization scheme around the source area to enhance
resolution for transport modeling.  Calculated head values at
selected,  interior nodes were chosen as boundary conditions for
the local model, as shown in Figure 5-3.  Constant head values
assigned at those nodes not present in the regional grid were
determined through linear interpolation from surrounding nodes,
but aquifer characteristics and recharge values were not changed.

Thus, the overall approach maintains continuity between the


regional and local models.  Table 5-1 presents a comparison


be.tween the calibrated head values and the mean observed values


at corresponding monitoring wells.  The head values in the flow


model are somewhat low at several upgradient nodes (wells MW-3,


MW-28, and MW-29) and high at the lower portion of the southwest


lobe (wells MW-16, MW-22, MW-23, and MW-34).  These departures


from the observed ground-water contours do not significantly


effect flow simulation between the compliance point and the .two


receptor points.  Furthermore, these important flow characteristics


are reproduced in the model:.  1) predominant flow- is to the


northwest; 2) a smaller flow component travels from the site


toward the southwest; and 3) ground-water mounding is shown to


the east of the site.                 -

     In the third step, ground-water flow velocities were


determined from the head values in the local model.  Constant   1(,


contaminant loading rates were assumed as a conservative repre-


sentation of landfill failure.  Loading concentrations were set


equal to each constituents maximum solubility, which assumes


instantaneous equilibrium with source contaminants and infiltrating


rainwater.  The simulation was carried out over 20 years, or until


steady state concentrations were observed at the contaminent


receptor points.

     The key outputs of the RANDOM-WALK model are the steady
state relationships between contaminant concentrations at the
compliance point and those at the designated receptors.  Figure
5-5 presents the concentrations over time at these points.  The
values in this graph represent the mean concentrations for the
sets of grid nodes which represent the compliance point and the
receptors.  These concentrations are not associated with any
particular constituent/ and since the effects of dispersion do
not vary among constituents, the results can be applied to both
I/1,1-trichloroethane and toluene releases.
     Table 5-2 presents the attenuation factors between the •
compliance point and the two receptors.  The concentration levels
at each point are average concentrations estimated from between
year 10 and year 20 of the simulation model.  (Year 10 is shown
in Figure 5-5 to be the approximate time at which steady state
is reached at the furthest receptor point.)  This table shows
that dispersion reduces concentration by a factor of 10.80 between
the compliance points and the bedrock spring, and by a factor of
2.2 between the compliance point and the edge of Swamp A.  These
attenuation factors are rounded down to 10 and 2, respectively,
for the ACL calculations in Section 6.

                  ALTERNATE CONCENTRATION LIMITS

     The ACLs requested for this site are based upon the contaminant

thresholds proposed in Section 4 and the attenuation factors

estimated in Section 5.  The analyses presented in those sections

include the following features:

    0   The critical environmental receptors are .identified as

        Swamp A and tire bedrock spring.

    0   There are currently no human exposure pathways, and future

        human exposure will be prevented by a proposed strategy

        for ground-water use. controls.

    8   The transport model estimates contaminant attenuation due

        to dispersion only.  The roles of degradation and soil

        retardation were not considered, nor was'the effect of

        dilution in the receiving surface waters.   Omission of

        these other attenuation mechanisms produces a more

        conservative result.
                              \
GROUND-WATER USE CONTROLS

     The State considers all ground water within the State to be

subject to the prior appropriation doctrine of water rights.  Under

the doctrine, the State has the authority to allocate ground-water

rights and regulate ground-water use.  These ground-water rights

can be bought and sold.

     To assure that no humans are exposed to contaminants released

from the facility, the owners propose to implement ground-water use

 The owners are  currently  negotiating a transfer  of  water  rights.
 for the 100  acres  as  shown  in  Figure 6-1.   The area includes
 Swamp A, the bedrock  spring/ parts  of  Swamp B, and  all  lands
 between the  facility  and  these potential  receptors.  By purchasing
 the water rights,  the facility owners  will  be able  to.  prohibit
 all uses of  this ground water  which could lead to  human exposure
 to contaminated water.  Should the  negotiation efforts  fail,  the
 owners will  pursue an alternative strategy  of purchasing  the
 land and the water rights.  The State  Attorney General's  office
 has been contacted by the facility  owner  and has ruled  that  the
 efforts of the  facility owner  are allowable under  State law.
 Enforcement  of  the ground-water use controls will  be the
-responsibility  of  the State EPA.              .

 ALTERNATE CONCENTRATION LIMITS
     The proposed  Alternate Concentration Limits for this site
 are calculated  by  multiplying  the attenuation factors  determined
 in Section 5 by the allowable  levels shown  in Section  4.   Because
 these values are based upon environmental guality  criteria (and
 not protection  of  human health),  they  are contingent upon successful
 implementation  of  the ground-water  use controls  specified above.
 The important  assumptions that went into  calculating the  ACLs are
 listed  in Tab.le 6-1.  Most  of  the assumptions are  conservative
 in nature because  of  the  lack  of  both  site-specific and contaminant-
 specific data.  Due to these assumptions, the amount of contaminant

attenuation  that is occurring at the  site, is  probably underestimated..

Likewise,  the  acceptable toxic effect  levels  of the contaminants  in

the swamp  are  probably underestimated.

     The ACLs  are  shown in Table 6-2.   Contaminant flow toward

Swamp A is attenuated less than flow  to the  bedrock sprinq; therefore,

the ACLs were  determined by flow to the swamp.   The proposed

ACLs are 3.6 mg/1  for 1,1,1-trichloroethane  and 0.35 mg/1 for

tolu'ene.   The  3..6  mg/1 for 1,1,1-trichloroethane and the

0.35 mg/1  for  toluene are higher than  current concentrations observed

 Summary
      Toluene  has  been  shown  to  be  embryotoxic  in experimental
 animals,  and  the  incidence of cleft  palate  increased in  the
 offspring  of  dosed  mice.  Chronic  inhalation exposure to high
 levels  of  toluene caused.cerebellar  degeneration and an  irreversibL
 encephalopathy  in animals.   In  humans,  acute exposure depressed
 the central nervous  system and  caused narcosis.

Tcanspoct and Fate

     Volatilization appears to be the major route of  removal
of toluene from aquatic environments, and atmospheric  reactions
of toluene probably subordinate all other fate processes  (USEPA
1979).  Photppxidation is the primary atmospheric fate process
for toluene, and benzaldehyde is reported to be the principal
organic product.  Subsequent precipitation or dry deposition
can deposit, toluene and its oxidation products into aquatic
and terrestrial systems.  Direct photolytic cleavage of toluene
is energetically improbable in the troposphere, and oxidation
and hydrolysis are probably not important as aquatic fates.

     The log octanol/water partition coefficient of toluene
indicates that sorption processes may be significant.  However,
no specific environmental sorption studies are available, and
the extent to which adsorption by sedimentary and suspended
organic material may interfere with volatilization is  unknown.
Bioaccumulation is probably not an important environmental
fate process.  Although toluene is known to be degraded by
microorganisms and can be detoxified and excreted by mammals,
the available data, do not allow estimation of the relative
importance of biodegradation/biotransformation processes.
Almost all toluene discharged to the environment by industry
is in the form of atmospheric emissions.


Health Effects

     There is no conclusive evidence that toluene is carcino-
genic or mutagenic in animals or humans (USEPA 1980)..  The
National Toxicological Program is .currently conducting an in-
halation carcinogenicity bioassay in rats and mice.

     Oral administration of toluene at doses as low as 260 mg/kg
produced a significant increase in embryonic lethality in mice
(USEPA 1980).  Decreased fetal weight was observed at doses
as low as 434 mg/kg/ and an increased incidence of cleft palate
was seen at doses as low as 867 mg/kg.  However/  other researchers
have reported that toluene is embryotoxic but not teratogenic
in laboratory animals.  There are no accounts of a teratogenic
effect in humans after exposure to toluene.

     Acute exposure to toluene at concentrations of 3-75-1., 500 mg/ra
produces central nervous system depression and narcosis in
humans (ACGIH 1980).  However, even exposure to quantities
sufficient to produce unconsciousness fail to produce .residual
organ damage.  The rat oral LD-Q value and inhalation LC-Q
value are 5,000 mg/kg and 15,000 mg/m, respectively.  Cnronic
inhalation exposure to toluene at relatively high concentrations
produces cerebellar degeneration and an irreversible encephalopathy
in mammals.

-------
      Toluene in sufficient amounts appears to have the poten-
 tial to alter  significantly the metabolism and resulting bio- '
 activity of certain chemicals.   For example,  coadministration
 of  toluene along with  benzene or styrene has  been shown to
 suppress the metabolism of benzene or styrene in rats.


 Toxicity to Wildlife and Domestic Animals

      Of five freshwater species tested with toluene/  the clado-
 ceran Daphnia  majna was most resistant to any acute effects
 (USEPA 1980).   The  ECSQ and LC5Q values for all five  species
 range from 12,700 to 313,000 ugyliter.  No chronic tests are
 available  for  freshwater species.   The two freshwater  algal
 species tested  are  relatively insensitive to  toluene  with- EC,-n
 values of  245,000 ug/liter or greater being reported.   For
 saltwater  species,  EC  Q and LC5Q values range from 3,700 Mg/
•for  the bay shrimp  to3I,050 mg/liter  for the  Pacific  oyster.
 The  chronic value in an embryo-larval test for the sheepshead
 minnow is  reported  to  be between 3,200 and 7,700 (jg/liter,
 and  the acute-chronic  ratio is  between 55 and 97.   In  several
 saltwater  algal  species and kelp,  effects occur  at toluene
 concentrations  from 8,000  to more  than 433,000 ug/liter.

                      1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE


Summary

     Preliminary results suggest that  I,I,1-trichloroethane
(1,1,1-TCA) induces liver tumors in female mice.   It was shown
to be mutagenic using the Ames assay,  and  it causes transforma-
tion in cultured rat embryo cells.  Inhalation exposure to
high.-concentrations of  1,1,1-TCA depressed the central nervous
system; affected cardiovascular function; and damaged the lungs,
liver, and kidneys in animals and humans.  Irritation of the
skin and mucous membranes has also been associated with human
exposure to 1,1,1-trichloroethane.

Transport and Fate                   ,

    •1,1,1-Trichloroethane  (1,1,1-TCA) disperses from surface
water primarily by volatilization.  Several studies'have indic-
ated that 1,1,1-trichloroethane may be adsorbed onto organic
materials in the sediment, but this is probably not an.important
route of elimination from surface water.  1,1,1-Trichloroethane
can be transported in the .groundwater/ but the speed of transport
depends on the composition of the soil.

   •' .Photooxidation by reaction with hydroxyl radicals in the
atmosphere is probably the principal fate process for this
chemical.


Health Effects

     1,1,1-Trichloroethane was retested for carcinogenicity
because in a previous.study by NCI (1977), early lethality
precluded assessment of carcinogenicity.  Preliminary results
indicate that 1,1,1-TCA increased the incidence of combined
hepatocellular carcinomas and adenomas in female .mice when
administered by gavage (NTP 1984).  There is evidence that
1,1,1-trichloroethane is mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium
and causes transformation in cultured rat embryo cells (USEPA
1980).  These data suggest that the chemical may be carcinogenic.

     Other toxic effects of 1,1,1-TCA are seen only at concen-
trations well above those likely in an open environment.  The
most notable toxic effects of 1,1,1-trichloroethane in humans
and animals are central nervous system depression, including
anesthesia at very high concentrations and impairment of coordi-
nation, equilibrium, and judgment at lower concentrations (350
ppm and above); cardiovascular effects, including premature
ventricular contractions, decreased blood pressure, and sensiti-
zation to epinephrine-induced arrhythmia; and adverse effects
on the lungs, liver, and kidneys.  Irritation of the skin and
mucous membranes resulting from exposure to 1,1,1-trichloro-
ethane has also been reported.  The oral LD.Q value of 1,1,1-
trichloroethane in rats is about 11,000 mg/Kg.


Toxieity to wildlife and Domestic Animals

     The acute toxicity of 1,1,1-trichloroethane to aquatic
species is rather low, with the LC_Q concentration for the
most sensitive species tested being 52.8 rag/1.  No chronic
toxicity studies have been done on 1,1,1-trichloroethane, but
acute-chronic ratios for the other chlorinated ethanes ranged
from 2.8 to 8.7.  1,1,1-Tricholoroethane was only slighty bio-
accumulated with a steady-state bioconcentration factor of
nine and an elimination half-life of two days.

      No  information on  the  toxicity of  1,1,1-trichloroethane

                                 ABSTRACT



     A generalized corapucer code  is  given  that  can  simulate  a large class

of solute transport problems  in groundwater.  The effects  of convection,

dispersion and chemical reactions  are  included.  The  solutions  for

groundwater flow includes a finite-difference formulation.   The  solute

transport portion of the code  is based  on  a  particle  in  a  cell  technique

for the conveccive mechanisms, and a random'walk technique  for  the

dispersion effects.

     The code can simulate one- or two-dimensional  nbnsteady/steady flow

problems in heterogeneous aquifers under water  table  and/or  artesian or

leaky artesian conditions.  Furthermore  this  program  covers  time-varying

pumpage or injection by wells, natural  or .artificial  recharge,  the flow

relationships of water exchange between  surface waters and  the  groundwater

reservoir, the process of groundwater  evapotranspira.tion,  the mechanism of

possible conversion of storage coefficients  from artesian  to water-table

conditions, and the flow from  springs.

     In addition, the program  allows specification  of chemical  constituent

concentrations of any segment  of the model including, but  not limited to,

injection of contaminated water by wells,  vertically  averaged salt-water

fronts, leachate from landfills, leakage from overlying  source  beds of

differing quality than the aquifer,  and  surface water sources such as

contaminated lakes and streams.

     Further features of the  program include  variable finite-difference

grid sizes and printouts of input data,  time  series of heads, sequential
                                                                          «• '

                               INTRODUCTION






     Presently, there .ire  four classes of problems  of concern in  studies  of




solute transport in groundwater:   1) Chemical  problems  such  as  predicting




TDS, Cl, nitrates, etc. as when dealing  wich  sea water  intrusion,  excessive




fertilizer applications, hazardous  waste  leachate,  and  injection  of




chemical wastes into the subsurface using disposal  wells;  2)  Bacterial




problems associated with cesspools, artificial recharge,  sanitary




landfills, and waste injection wells, etc.; 3) Thermal  problems involving




injection of hot water into the groundwater reservoir,  development of




^eothermal energy, and induced infiltration of surface  water  having varying




temperatures; and 4) Multi-Phase  problems arising  from  such  situations as




development of steam-wacer systems, secondary  recovery  of  water by air




injection, and possible air-waCer  interfaces  due co o.ver-puraping.   Although




this transport program may be extended,  the emphasis of this  report is




placed on the chemical problems.




     One  form of the governing equation  for solute  transport  in one-




dimension is:

Problems including solute  transport in groundwater involve  solving



equation I in one, two, or rarely three-dimensions.  For the derivation of



the equation and  further  explanation refer to Freeze and Cherry  (1979),



Bear (1972), and Ogata (1970).



     In our opinion, the  most  popular numerical technique presently used



for solving- tlie above equation  is the method of characteristics  (MOC),  or



the part icle-in-a-cel I method.   MOC treats the above equation  in two parts.



First, the convective term containing the velocity, V, is solved with  an



adaptation of the usual  finite-difference flow type of model.  Then the



dispersive term is solved  by using another finite-difference grid



associated with the concentration distribution.  A large number  of  .



computer-generated particles move about by the velocity vectors  which  are



solved in the flow model,  and  carries the concentration information between




                                     C-4

-------
the convection .uicJ >i ispersion  terms during  che  solution of che above




ifquacion.  The inscription of  che  MOC  is  straight forward ,  but the computer




code is highly involved, very  expensive  to  operate,  and requires a large




computer to effect a solution.  While  the MOC  seems  to be  popular at this




time, many researchers, including  us,  are looking  for  a more efficient and




more direct way to solve problems  concerning  solute  transport in




groundwater.  The conceived  ramdom walk  method  follows.




     The 'random walk'  technique  is based on  dispersion in porous media




being a random process.  On  a  microscopic basis,  dispersion may be as shown




in figure I.  As shown, dispersion can take place  in two directions even




though the-mean flow is in one direction  to the right.  The idea unfolds by




studying diagram (1-c).  A particle, representing  the  mass o.f a specific




chemical constituent contained in  a defined volume of  water, moves through




an aquifer with two types of motion -  one notion  is  with the mean flow




(along streamlines determined  by  finite  differences) and another is with




random motion, governed by scaled  probability  curves related to flow length




and  the longitudinal and transverse dispersion  coefficients.  Finally, in




the  computer code, sufficient  numbers  of particles are included such that




their locations and density, as they move through  a  flow model, is adequate




to describe the distribution of the dissolved  constituent  of interest.




     The advantages of  this  random walk  technique  over the MOC or, for that




matter of fact, over many other numerical schemes  are  many:




     1) There is no dispersion equation  to  solve.   The dispersion part of




        .equation 1 is  solved in this computer  code by  the  addition of only




      *  11 Fortran statements  attached to the  solution of  the convection




        part of equation 1.

     2)  There -is only one finite-difference grid  involved  in  solving  the


        conveccive portion of aquation  I:  The particle movement  takes


        place in continuous spacu.


     3)  Concentration distribution needs only to  be calculated  when  it  is


        of interest.   In the MOC, after each particle  is moved,  new


        concentrations are assigned on  the basis'  of the solution  of  the


        dispersion term in the above equation for every time  step of  the


        simulation.


     4)  Computer CPU time is drastically reduced.  There  is  not  one


        simulation in Part 4 of this report that  took  more  Chan  a few


        seconds, including compiling and loading  on a-  CDC  CYBER  175.


     5)  Particles are needed only where water quality  is of  interest.


        These particles are not needed  everywhere in che model  as wich  the


        MOC.        .
                            /

     6)  Solutions .ire additive.   If not enough particles are  included for


        adequate definition in one run, a second  run can be  done  and  the


        results- accumulated.  This is not true of the  MOC  where  possible


        spar.se areas of particles may occur, causing loss of  accuracy.


     7)  This  method is particularly suited for time-sharing  systems  where


        velocity fields can be stored and manipulated  in conjunction  with


        an on-line particle mover code.


     8)  .In the traditional sense  of the words, finite  differencing


        phenomena associated .with 'overshoot' and 'numerical  dispersion1


        are eliminated.


     Although there .iro numerous  advantages to this technique,  there  are


also some disadvantages.

    . I) Us wich ch« MOC, concentrations  greacer  Chan inicial  condicions are




        possible especially when  coarse  discrecizing' is  used.




     2) A princout of concentrations  may noc  be  pleasing Co che eye when




        Che number of particles  is  small.   (A Calcomp  ploccing and




        smooching roucine could  be  added co chis  model  co  eliminate chis




        problem, however chis  is  beyond  che scope  and  objectives  of this




        report.)




     3) The method may  cake an unusually large number  of particles Co




        produce an acceptable  solution  for  some  problems.   No  more than




        5,000 particles are used  in  chis reporc,  however.




     4) More often than not, engineering judgment  is an  absolute




        requirement Co be added  co  che computed  results  in arriving at an




        acceptable solution.  This  is because of  the 'lumpy1  character of




        the output.  Therefore,  experience  with  this technique is*needed




        before one can apply che  code successfully  to  a  field  situation.




     'The main objective of this  report is to  present a generalized computer.




code that will simulate a large  class of solute  transport  problems




involving convection and dispersion. . tn the  present version,  the effect of




density induced convection is not included.   This  complication is necessary




only when a vertically averaged  concentration distribution is  inadequate.




The class of problems that require a  vertical  averaged concentration




distribution is sufficiently large  that  the inclusion  of density




differences will wait for some further publication.

         _           I'AKT  1.  Mathematical  Background




     The computer codu contained  in  this  report  can be broken Lnco two



parts.  The first part relates  to  the  "flow model"  and the second part to



the.particle moving section which  is  termed the  "solute transport model".
                                                v

     Some sort of model is needed  to  provide the  velocity vectors of an



aquifer  clow system in order  to calculate  the  convective movement of



particles.  In most of the situations  to  follow,  a  finite-difference scheme


is used  to generate the head  distribution.   From  this head distribution a


velocity  field is derived.  The velocity  field  then provides  the means of


moving the particles advectively  in  the aquifer.   Details- of  this follow.


Calculations of Flow


     Three methods for head calculations  are written into the computer


code.   The idea is to generate a head  distribution  which can  then be used



to calculate a velocity field.  Two  of these head  calculations are


analytical and ch« third is a finite-difference method.   For  a brief



background ot" the finite-difference  scheme  for  producing a head


distribution consider the  following:



     The partial differential equation (Jacob,  1950) governing the


nonsteady-state two-dimensional flow  of groundwater may be expressed as:
           —   (kxh  ''^)  >  -._ (K.I,  '±)  , s  :'il *. .)

      A numerical  solution of equation 2 can be obtained through  a

 finite-difference  approach.  The finite-difference approach  first-  involves

 replacing  the  continuous aquifer system parameters with an  equivalent set

 of  discrete  elements.   Secondly, the equations governing  the  flow  of

 groundwater  in  the discretized model are written  in  finite-difference form,

 Finally,  the resulting set of finite difference equations  is  solved

 numerically  with  Che aid of a digital computer.

      A finite-difference grid is superposed over -a map of  an  aquifer as

 illustrated  in  fi^ur*  2.  The^aquifer is Chus  subdivided  into volumes

 having dimensions  m^xuy, where m is Che saturated thickness  of  the  aquifer.
 The  di f ferent ials c x and i y are approximated by the  finite  lengths £ x and

Jy,  respectively.   The areadxijy should be small compared with  the  total

 area o,f  the  aquifer to the extent chat the discrete  model is  a  reasonable

 representation of  Che continuous system.  The intersections of  grid  lines

 are  called  nodes  and are referenced with a column (i)  and row (j)

 coordinate  system  colinear with the x and y directions,  respectively.

      The general  form of die finite difference equation  governing  Che  flow

 of uroundwater in  the disc ret ized model is then given  by

     Since there is an  equation  of the  same  form  as equation 3 for every

node.of the digital model, a large set  of  simultaneous equations  must be

solved  for the principal unknowns h^,f  .   The  modified  iterative alternating

direction implicit method (MIADI) g-iven  by  Prickett and Lonnquist (1971) is

used to solve the set of simultaneous  equations.

    • Briefly, the MIADI method involves  first,  for  a  given  time increment,

reducing the large sec  o'f simultaneous  equations  down  to'a  number of small

sets.  This is done by  solving the node  equations,  by  Gauss elimination, of

.in  individual row of  die model while all  terms  related to che nodes in the

two adjacent rows are held constant.   After all  row equations have been

processed row l.y row, attention  is focused  on solving  the node equations,

again by Gauss elimination, of an individual  column while all terms related

.ichieve convergence, and  this  completes the calculations  for  the given time


increment.  The calculated  heads .ire then used as initial  conditions for


the next time increment.  This  total process is repeated  for  successive


time increments until  the desired simulation is completed.

     The basis,  for die transport  of  dissolved.conscituents in this computer




code is thac the distribution of  the  concentration  of  chemical  constituents




of the water in an aquifer can  be  represented  by  the distribution of a




finite number of discrete particles.   Each  of  these  particles is  moved by




groundwater flow and  is assigned  a mass  which  represents  a fraction of the




total mass of chemical constituent involved.   In  the limit,  as  the number




of particles gees extremely  large  and  one  approaches the  molecular level,




one arrives at  the exact solution  to  the actual situation.  However, ic is




our experience  that relatively  few particles are  needed  to arrive at a




solution that will- suffice for many  engineering applications.




     There are  two prime mechanisms  which  can  change contaminant




concentration in groundwater.  First,  the  effects of mechanical  dispersion




as 'the fluid spreads  through the  pore  space of  the  porous  medium are




described by the first and second  terms  on  the  left hand  side  of




equation 1.  Secondly, the effects of  dilution  and mixing  are expressed in




the second .ind  third  terms on the  left  hand side of equation I.




Dispersion




     To illustrate the details of  the  random walk technique,  as  it relates




to dispersion, consider Che  progress of  a  unit  slug of  tracer-marked fluid,




placed initially at x"0, in  an  infinite  column  of porous  medium  with steady




flow in the x direction.  With CgQ equal to zero, equation 1  describes




the concentration of  the slug as  it moves downstream.   Bear  (1972)




describes the solution as                              .

With the identities of  equations  8  through 10 taken into account, you will

note that equations 6 and  7  are equivalent.


     Realizing that dispersion  in a porous medium can be considered a

random process, tending to the  normal distribution is the key to solute

transport as described  in  this  report.   There is  nothing new here, as a

very complete discussion of  statistical models  of dispersion and how it


effects water quality has  been  given,  for  instance,  by Bear (1972) and


Fried (1975).  What may be new  here is  the method by  which this statistical

approach gets  inco the computer  code  and is applied co transport  problems.

That explanation  follows.

     Consider  now' figure 4A  which is  a representation of how  particles  are

moved in the computer code when  the  flow is in the x direction and one

considers only  longitudinal  dispersion.   During a time increment, DELP,  a

particle, with  coordinates xx,yy is  first moved from an old to a  new

position in the'aquifer by convection according to its velocity at the  old

position Vx.   Then,  a random movement in the +x -or -x direction is added

to represent the  effects of  dispersion.   This random movement is  given  the

magnitude:

    ~l'2dLDX x  ANORM  (0)                                            (11)

Equations 6', 7, and  12 are equivalent,  with  che  exception chac equations 6




.ind 7 are continuous distributions  >ind  equation  12  is  discrete.   As




illustrated in figure 4A, the distribution of  particles  around the mean




position, VXD£LP, is made to be  normally  distributed  via the function




ANORM(O).  The function ANORM(O)  is  generated  in the  computer code as a




simple  function involving a summation  of  random  numbers.  Probable




locations of particles, however,  are only considered  out to 6 standard




deviations either side of the mean.  This is done since, on a practical




basis,  the probability is low of  a  particle  moving  beyond that distance.




     One  further emphasis is appropriate  concerning the  so called  "density




function1 of -equations 6, 7, and  12.




     The  equivalent  density functions  C(x,t) and N/dx provide the means  for




relating  the concentration of a  contaminant  in a field problem to the
concentration of particles  found  in portions of a finite-difference model.




Various density functions will  be  defined  later,  by example,' as they are




needed  for  application  purposes.




     Figure- &B  illustrates  the  extension of this  method to account  for




dispersion  in a direction transverse  to che mean  flow and how the aquifer




transverse  dispersivity, dc,  is included.   Figures 5A and 5B illustrate




the  algebra involved  when the  flow is not  aligned with the x-y coordinate




system.  And  finally,  figure  6  shows  both  longitudinal and transverse




dispersion  taking  place simultaneously and the appropriate vector algebra.




Dilution, Mixing,  Retardation,  and Radioactive Decay




     Consider the  one-dimensional  flow problem in figure 7A in which the




flow and concentrations of  the  sources are given.  With dispersion  set to




zero and retardation  set to one,  the  distribution of concentrations in the




system  are  simply  a  result  of pure mixing  as illustrated in figure  7B.
