Evaluation of the Contributing Area for Recovery Wells at the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant, Fridley, Minnesota

by J. Hal Davis

Overview

The Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant is located on the southernmost tip of Anoka County,
Minnesota, within the City of Fridley, and about one-quarter mile east of the Mississippi River. Industrial production at the plant began in 1941 and has continued since that time. Contamination spills and poor disposal practices in the past have led to significant ground-water contamination beneath the facility. A ground-water recovery (and containment) system began operation in 1992 to prevent contaminated ground-water from migrating off site. In an effort to determine the effectiveness of the recovery system, pressure transducers were installed in 23 monitoring wells, multiple hand water-level measurements were taken in an additional 56 wells, and two extensive rounds of water-level measurements were taken in all wells (one during pumping and one during non-pumping conditions).
