What new data would be needed to determine trends in the occurrence of VOCs?
Little information on trends of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ground water was gathered during the first cycle of sampling for the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. However, the second cycle of NAWQA contains a component of study that involves re-sampling a subset of wells in many aquifer studies across the country. The re-sampling of wells will yield data on the occurrence of VOCs at specific wells, and within specific aquifers, within a temporal context. When completed, the re-sampling will provide data needed to determine trends in the occurrence of VOCs in ground water.
