This is accompanied by a downward trend in pH levels. These trends indicate that the site no longer meets the criteria for a "yes" determination to the Ground Water Migration Under Control Environmental Indicator. EPA encourages Whyco Chromium to investigate the causes and extent of the increases in metal contamination exhibited in these wells and take whatever actions are required to again achieve the Ground Water Migration Under Control Environmental Indicator. EPA is aware that the site is currently undergoing investigation and remediation under the Connecticut Property Transfer program and is confident that your work within the requirements of this program will gather the data needed to understand the cause of this increase and, as necessary, remediate it.
