There was 1 monitoring well that found levels high enough to warrant further investigations. The important thing to note though is any contamination on the north bank is coming from groundwater traveling along below the river not the river itself. Cleaning up the site will stop this from happening further but how much of it has already settled to bedrock and traveled via groundwater in areas outside of where cleanup will be happening. Once the site is cleaned, this problem doesn't necessarily go away.

At least the problem shouldn't keep getting worse once it's cleaned.
