Details: Salem’s recent addition of SRC-AE (Geren Island SE Collector GWUDI well) into EP-A triggered 2, 6-month rounds of lead and copper sampling after final plan approval. Salem submitted water quality parameter source data collected Feb-May 2024 for both SRC-AE and SRC-AA (existing permanent SW source) for comparison, data was received on 5/16/2024. It was determined that SRC-AE and SRC-AA are comparable and that adding SRC-AE to EP-A would have no significant effect on corrosion potential.

Lead and copper sampling will return to annual at the reduced number of sites (50).
