1 Impacts of DNAPL Contamination in Fractured Rock Aquifers Used for Municipal Water Supply Beth Parker Professor & NSERC Chair University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada Round Table 2 September 16, 2009
2 Fractured Rocks Sedimentary Rock Granite Karst
3 DNAPLs Commonly Pass Through Overburden Into Bedrock DNAPL source zone initial condition PCE Mackay and Cherry, 1989
4 Silurian Dolostone Belt (shown in blue) Lake Huron Guelph and damabel Formations at site Guelph Cambridge Aquifer supplies Lake Ontario ~ 1 million people Buffalo Lake Erie Satellite Image from NASA (
5 Communities in Grand River Basin using Groundwater nearly 1 million people drinking groundwater
6 Sources of industrial contaminants exist throughout cities
7 Pesticide Plume in Dolostone Aquifer Plume within Municipal Well Field Discovered in 1992 G5 TCE P15 P9 UW16B UW13 Metolachlor G6 Syngenta Field Site P10 P11 P m G17 G18
8 DNAPL Origin for Deep Herbicide and TCE Contamination in a Dolostone Aquifer CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR INTERMINGLED PLUMES TCE Metolachlor overburden dolostone aquifer Initial DNAPL zones Intermingled
9 Nature of Contamination in Fractured Sedimentary Rock vadose zone SOURCE ZONE PLUME ZONE groundwater zone PLUME FRONT
10 Small Fracture Porosity and Large Matrix Porosity 0.1 to 0.001% 001% 2 to 25% DETAIL A mineral particle A Microscopic view of rock matrix
11 How fast do plumes travel in fractured rock aquifers?
12 AVERAGE LINEAR GROUNDWATER VELOCITY v v K b [ Δh / ΔL] = where φ f = bulk fracture porosity φf K b = bulk hydraulic conductivity
13 Commercially Available DFN Models HydroGeoSpher e
14 Key Issues: How many active fractures? What is their Interconnectivity? Dense Network Sparse p Network
15 Contaminant Plume: Constant Source Well-Connected Fracture Network Simulated 50 years C/C o vert8t.pre v Kb i = ~ 1200 m year Groundwater Travel φ Distance ~ 60 km f / f v f D gw R a = = v D s s ~ 100 Plume front migration much slower than groundwater flow in fractures Strong Plume Front Retardation
16 Contaminant Plume: Constant Source Sparse Network with Major Fractures Simulated 50 years C/C o ver11f.pre v Kb i = ~ 2900 m year Groundwater Travel φ f / f Distance ~ 145 km
17 Key Points Two systems with similar K bulk Much more rapid plume transport in case with fewer, well-connected, larger fractures
18 Cross - Section Showing Plume Extent NW SE?
19 Metolachlor Arrived at Well G6 in 2001 after 20 years of Migration G5 TCE P15 P9 P10 P11 P17 UW16B UW13 Syngenta Field Site Metolachlor G6 Arrival m G17 G18

24 Key Points Plume at quasi-steady state in fracture network Nearly all contaminant mass is in low permeability rock matrix Plume maintained by back-diffusion
25 Conclusion: Pesticide id Plume Although h this industrial i site has a major long-lasting plume, it has not been necessary to remediate because detailed studies show that the plume is not doing harm within the domain of this municipal well field. High resolution data sets prevented expensive and ineffective remediation
26 Field Validation of Fracture Network Characteristics: PCE Contaminated Shale Watervliet Arsenal Building 40 Area Hudson River
27 Bedrock Geology Watervliet Site Ordovician Shale (Snake Hill Formation) Black, slightly metamorphosed, laminated shale Matrix porosity 2-5% Sub-horizontal to steeply dipping fractures and bedding plane separations Calcite / pyrite py accumulation on many fractures
28 Initial Fracture Network Conceptual Model: Based on Borehole Flow Tests Results from USGS Study Published in Journal of Hydrology 2002 Tests in open boreholes
29 One Major Transmissive Zone Identified from BH Flow Logging, 2001 USGS,
30 Flowmeter and ATV Logs Two or Three Flow Zones per Hole Williams and Paillet, 2002
31 Initial Conceptual Model: Few, Large, Continuous Fractures Dominate Flow Williams and Paillet, 2002
32 Standard Practice
33 New Lines of Evidence for Fracture Network Characteristics 1. Rock core VOC profiles 2. FLUTe TM Hydraulic Conductivity Profiles 3. VOC packer sampling during drilling 4. Multi-levels levels for hydraulic head and groundwater sampling 5. Pilot and full-scale MnO 4 injections with multi-level level monitoring High Resolution Data
34 Core Sampling for Migration Pathway Identification cored hole rock core TCE mg/l fractures core samples analyzed non-detect Fractures with TCE migration B.L. Parker, 2000
35 Rock Core VOC Profiles show Transport in Many Fractures VOC Pathways VOC Pathways Overburden Flow zones identified by borehole flow testing

44 MnO 4 Distribution in FLUTe Multilevels May 2005: End of MW-79 Inj#3a Distance from MW-79 (ft) MW-79 packer
45 Comparison: Extent of MnO 4 versus Elevated Sulfate SO 4 SO 4 SO 4 SO 4 Elevated sulfate more widespread; MnO 4 consumed before reaching ports Well interconnected fracture network
46 Key Point: Numerous Interconnected Fractured Evident at this Site Dense Network Sparse p Network
47 Key Point Permanganate was delivered throughout the contaminated zone because of numerous, interconnected active fractures
48 Implications for Well-Interconnected Fracture Network vs. Super Highway Influences: ~ Where and how best to Monitor ~ Predictions of contaminant transport and fate ~ Adequacy of Insitu remediation system designs ~ Accuracy of system performance assessments Note: mass persists in lower permeability zones
49 Conclusions Plumes in fractured sedimentary rock are strongly retarded d and attenuated t due to dispersion, diffusion and sorption St t d ti i Strong retardation requires numerous, interconnected fractures that are evident using new DFN investigation methods
