As seen <br />from Figure 3a, the local groundwater flow direction appeared to be to the east-northeast in <br />the vicinity of the spill area with a northerly component east of the spill area on April 4, <br />2002. The hydraulic gradient was estimated to range from approximately 0.006 to 0.02 for <br />the overall site while the hydraulic gradient was estimated to range from approximately <br />0.001 to 0.006 for the spill area based on the April 2002 groundwater elevation data. <br />Historical information regarding the groundwater flow direction and hydraulic gradient is <br />summarized below. <br /> Estimated Flow Estimated Estimated Flow Estimated <br />Date of Direction for Gradient for Direction for Gradient for <br />Monitoring Overall Site Overall Site Spill Area Spill Area <br />September 2001 Northeast with a 0.006 to 0.03 East-northeast. 0.002 to 0.006 <br /> Northerly component <br /> on the east side of <br /> the site. <br />October 2001 Northeast with a 0.009 to 0.02 Northeast with a 0.002 to 0.006 <br /> Northerly component Northerly <br /> on the east side of component east of <br /> the site.

The local groundwater flow direction and <br />hydraulic gradients estimated for the four (4) events are generally consistent with each other <br />with the exception of the January 2002 flow direction, especially to the east of the spill area. <br />It should be noted that local geohydrologic characteristics such as flow direction and <br />gradient may change due to variations in precipitation and recharge or other conditions not <br />evident at the time of field exploration. <br />
