2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 GIS Tools for Remediation of Groundwater Track: Environmental Management Author(s): Donald Fiegel The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality/The Regulated Storage Tank Division of ADEQ received a grant from EPA Region VI to GIS map all the active LUST sites (n=127) in Arkansas. A new Trimble XT GPS unit with TerraSync(tm) software was purchased to collect GPS data by case managers necessary to fully map the physical features of these sites. ArcView 8.3 and the 3D Analyst and Spatial Analyst extensions were purchased to complete this project. Almost immediately, we learned that not only could this information be used to make geo-referenced maps, but visual planning aids for remediation could be created to predict contaminant plume migration, potential impact to buildings and residential structures, groundwater and public water well contamination, etc. The impact of petroleum contamination on a public water system in Dardanelle, AR, will be discussed from models generated by utilizing GIS software.
