Characterizing and Monitoring Contaminants at a Complex Fractured Rock Site Challenge Battelle has been working with the U.S. Navy for more than 15 years to characterize, treat and monitor groundwater at the former Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC) Warminster. Groundwater in fractured rock beneath the site is contaminated with chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) from historic activities at the site. Testing determined that groundwater concentrations were above maximum contaminant levels set by the EPA. Because groundwater from the site is a source of drinking water for surrounding communities, finding solutions is a high priority for the Navy. The Navy needed to fully characterize the CVOC plume and optimize the treatment and long-term monitoring (LTM) strategies associated with p
