Project Priorities
Four Project Priorities:1. Continue to provide drinking water that meets
appropriate Wisconsin regulatory standards for all site-related compounds to residents with impacted wells.
2. Develop plan for long-term drinking water supply and implement as appropriate.
3. Evaluate for potential off-site surface water issues and take appropriate action.
4. Identify priority source areas and take appropriate action.

Home Value Protection Plan
Home Value Protection Program has expired.– Last municipal water connection was in June
2005.– Eligibility expired for the final group of residents
in 4Q2006. – A single vacant lot is the only residential property
currently in the program and sale of the property is pending.

Southern Area InvestigationPreliminary Findings
With the exception of one occurrence of benzo(a)pyrene at the residential screening level, arsenic and lead are the only constituents that exceed residential or recreational screening levels.
The extent of contamination is generally limited to soils along historic roadways in the central portion of the parcel. (The one exception being at select samples in the northeastern corner of the parcel.)
![Page 27: Former DuPont Barksdale Works Project Update](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/568150ad550346895dbec34b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
June 7, 2005 Former DuPont Barksdale Works 27
The levels of lead and arsenic observed do not represent an acute health risk, and as such, use of this area for an additional season of occasional recreational activities would not be expected to result in unacceptable exposures.
A waste disposal area (1970s berm) was identified. Waste materials primarily consist of building rubble.

Chequamegon National Forest
National Forest Service contacted DuPont in April 2006.– Requested DuPont work with Forest Service to
develop a framework for future actions within the National Forest.
– DuPont met with USDA-FS on June 7, 2006 to discuss path forward.
– Future work will address both the Cabin Lake and Clover sites.

PerchlorateOverview
Why are we looking for perchlorate at Barksdale?– A historical document identified in February of
2005 indicated that the former Barksdale plant manager was corresponding with a chemist in Chile about staffing.
– This letter may indicate a that sodium nitrate from Chile was used for as a raw material for nitric acid production at Barksdale.
![Page 35: Former DuPont Barksdale Works Project Update](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062500/568150ad550346895dbec34b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

PerchlorateOverview
At this time, most naturally occurring sources of perchlorate appear to be geographically limited to arid environments. High natural perchlorate concentrations are found in Chilean caliche and some potash ores.– Sodium nitrate is leached from Chilean caliche to
make fertilizers, among other products. Chilean nitrate derived fertilizers were the
primary fertilizers used in the United States until the 1960s.
– Sodium nitrate (“soda nitre” or “Chilean saltpeter”) was formerly an important raw material for the production of nitric acid in the United States and elsewhere.

PerchlorateOverview
Preliminary results:– Preliminary laboratory results indicate that
concentrations in groundwater surrounding the former nitric acid production area range between 0.033 to 150 parts per billion (ppb).
– Perchlorate was not detected in the two potable wells sampled on-site.

PerchlorateOverview
EPA has established a 24.5 ppb limit in drinking water for perchlorate.– Perchlorate inhibits iodide uptake.
