Is there a connection between the TCE detected in Well No. 3 in Santa Ana and the TCE plume from the former ETMCAS?
No. While TCE contamination was identified at IRWD’s Well No. 3 in Santa Ana, many samples of groundwater analyzed by OCWD and the U.S. Department of the Navy from wells located between the ETMCAS TCE plume and the IRWD’s drinking water wells in Santa Ana have not detected any TCE. This clearly shows that the ETMCAS plume is not responsible for the TCE contamination at Well No. 3.
