| Short Description |
Three monitoring wells were sampled at the Field No. 3 land application site for National Frozen Foods and Midway Meats in Centralia. Four constituents were outside acceptable limits specified in Washington State Ground Water Standards: pH, total dissolved solids, iron, and fecal coliform bacteria. In addition, several parameters were found at higher concentrations in wells assumed to be downgradient of the land application site than those in the presumed upgradient well. These parameters included biological oxygen demand, ammonia, chloride, specific conductance, iron, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, total phosphorus, and sodium.

| Abstract | Long Description |
Three monitoring wells were sampled at the Field No. 3 land application site for National Frozen Foods and Midway Meats in Centralia, Washington. Four constituents were outside acceptable limits specified in Washington State Ground Water Standards: pH, total dissolved solids, iron, and fecal coliform bacteria. In addition, several parameters were found at higher concentrations in wells assumed to be downgradient of the land application site than those in the presumed upgradient well. These parameters included biological oxygen demand, ammonia, chloride, specific conductance, iron, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, total phosphorus, and sodium. Anaerobic conditions were indicated in downgradient wells by predominantly unoxidized forms of nitrogen and high iron concentrations. Recommendations are included for further investigation of increased ammonia and oxygen demand effects on the nearby Chehalis River during the summer due to land application practices. |
