Groundwater Analysis From Florida C&D Landfills (presumably containing CCA-treated wood)
Florida Groundwater C&D Facilities Sampling Method • Determine As conc in GW near C&D facilities: • 21 C&D debris facilites • 16 Florida counties • 23 background wells • 48 compliance/detection wells • Speciation analysis

Conclusion Arsenic in Groundwater • Avg.backgr./compli./detect. = 7- 10 mg/L • Florida background = 2 mg/L • Various species predominate species • Results currently suggestive of some As contamination but data set is not statistically robust • It takes time for As to migrate
