An EPA groundwater sampling study in 1981 confirmed that two Lakewood water utility district, WA, production wells were contaminated with chlorinated hydrocarbons. Additional field investigations were initiated to determine the levels, areal extent, and source of contamination. Deep monitoring wells and analytical equipment were installed; the presence of 1,2-dichloroethylene, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene in both wells was documented. Wastewater and sludge discharges from an adjacent commercial facility were responsible for groundwater degradation.
