40 Wells Sampled for CECs
CEC Report Summary
Low frequency and low levels of detection, even though wells more likely to be contaminated were targeted for this study. Emerging contaminants were present in 13 of the 40 wells monitored. Endocrine Active Compounds were detected in 3 of the 40 wells. GW affected by landfill leachate had the largest number of detections and highest total concentrations, but still well below risk levels. Further monitoring will refine this assessment.
Additional Reports Coming Soon
Update to CEC report coming this summer using triple the amount of wells Overall ambient groundwater network report coming this spring Significant finding on chloride

Groundwater-Surface water Interaction Studies
Investigations have linked increases in ground water extraction (municipal uses and irrigation) to stream flow reductions and lowered lake levels MPCA was the primary cooperative funder of the USGS study of altered groundwater flow affecting the level of White Bear Lake Identified reduced contribution of groundwater to surface water as a stressor in the Little Rock Creek TMDL study
