Details: SUMMARY: Arsenic Levels Exceeding MCL DETAILS: The Sleepy Hollow Phase 1 Water System is a water system within the City Limits of Salem. The water system is on its own well. The well serves 85 persons through 48 connections. Marty Lister contacted the Circuit Rider due to Arsenic levels exceeding the MCL. In addition to arsenic issues, the water system has high levels of Manganese, which causes significant aesthetic concerns. Reviewed final chemical/physical test results. Made recommendations for co-precipitation of Arsenic with iron. Discussed possible fate of backwash water. ACTION NEEDED: Provide possible funding assistance if requested.
