Details: SUMMARY: Arsenic above MCL DETAILS: I received an alert for Arsenic detected at 0.021 mg/L (MCL is 0.01 mg/L) in the Boneyard Well. The Boneyard Well is an Emergency source during the summer operating season and serves approximately 4 - 9 people at the office during the winter season. I spoke with Terry Green on 11/2/06. He said that they are currently not using the Boneyard Well because of the recurring arsenic problem and will not use it until they can get adequate treatment for it. Their current challenge is to find a treatment that is the correct size for their needs. They are using the Pine Meadows Well in the meantime.
