PROJECT TITLE       PROJ. NO.   PROJECT CLASSIFICATION  
Holland Forrest Well   Water
 
DESCRIPTION:                  
The Holland Forrest Well Project serves to replace a well which now has higher than acceptable arsenic levels. A new well capable of producing approximately 150 gallons per minute (GPM) will be installed into the Patapsco Aquifer with the associated piping and controls. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
PLANNING JUSTIFICATION:  
EPA lowered the drinking water standard for arsenic from 50 ppb to 10 ppb. Initial testing indicated that the average arsenic concentration was below 10 ppb, however subsequent testing revealed increased arsenic concentration that now exceed the new Federal Standard. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element found in this area in the Aquia Aquifer, but has not been detected  in the deeper Patapsco Aquifer. Over the long term, it is more cost effective to meet the arsenic standard by drilling a new well into this Aquifer than to provide permanent treatment of the existing well to remove the arsenic from the water. A new well must be drilled by March 2009 to comply with the new Federal Standards.
