DescriptionVolatile organic compounds, predominantly trichloroethylene (TCE) and its degredation products have been detected in ground water at the Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC), West Trenton, NJ. The US Geological Survey provided technical oversight and assistance to the US Department of the Navy to conduct a hydrogeologic investigation of the site. The effectiveness of ground-water pumping by the use of recovery wells in preventing contaminated ground water at NAWC from moving off the NAWC property was evaluated by use of a digital model of ground-water flow. The purpose of this report is to illustrate simulated ground-water flowpaths from well locations where contaminated ground water has been detected at the NAWC. Three scenarios were simulated: no pumping at the NAWC, operation of recovery-well netowrk I, and operation of recovery well network II. The ground-water-flow model used to make these simulations is described, as are the limitations of using this model to simulate movement of water. Results of aquifer testing at the NAWC also are included as are data from stream-discharge measurements at and near the NAWC.
