Platte River on the west, by Second Creek on the east, and by the convergence of Second Creels with the South Platte River on the north. The purpose of the survey is to keep the well owners and residents informed as to the quality of their water source. This is done by sampling the well and providing a free Water Quality Analysis of the water's conductivity, hardness, fluoride, and nitrate. From this information and the well depth, the source aquifer is identified. The Arsenal related compounds have been found mostly in shallow ground water. Therefore, the shallow wells (depth of 100 feet or less) have more of a risk of being contaminated then the deep wells. Wells with other problems, such as improperly sealed casings, are also identified as being at risk of possible Arsenal contamination. In addition to the survey, Tri-County Health samples about 25 private wells every quarter for the full range of Arsenal contaminants. One of the program's goals is to sample every domestic well in the study area for Arsenal related contamination. The installation of new wells is another concern because of the potential for cross- contamination between aquifers. Tri-County Health is seeking ways to insure proper techniques are used during the construction process. Staff are actively participating in all Arsenal program reviews to ensure that the concerns of residents are being addressed. Tri-County Health Department's Rocky Mountain Arsenal Program is here to serve you the public. Tri-County Health Department is independent from the several legal actions surrounding the cleanup of the Arsenal. The Tri-County staff is familiar with the study area, believes in one-on-one interaction with the public, gives accurate and timely information, and is an advocate for the residents of Adams County. They review and interpret many of the Arsenal cleanup documents and sort out questions the public might have about their water and other matters. We at Tri-County Health are a proactive, service oriented agency, and we will respond to your concerns.
