SCI1010 In Class Assignment 19
We discussed CERCLA, aka the superfund act in class when we discussed groundwater pollution and hazardous waste. Rhode Island has 12 superfund sites that have been added to the national priorities list, according to the USEPA website. For this assignment, you are going to do some research. You will all be assigned one of these sites to look into a little bit further by me during class. You need to be in class to receive your particular site assignment. You will answer questions about the site based on the information and reports provided on the individual website for that particular site. You will be working on this assignment during class on 11/ 15/22 and it will be due on 11/19/22. This assignment will be graded on how well you answer the questions asked. In this particular case, questions should be answered in complete sentences. You are allowed to work in groups but all group members must submit a copy of the assignment.
Questions –
1) What site were you assigned? Where in Rhode Island is it located?
2) What happened at the site? What contaminants are present? Is the contamination present in the soil, groundwater, surface water, or all three?
3) What was done to clean up the site?
