A series of annual geochemical models were created by RockWare utilizing RockWorks20 which were interpolated based on the 1,4-dioxane levels that were measured during 1986 through 2023. In cases where the same intervals were samples on more than one occasion during a given year, the highest 1,4-dioxane values were used. The extent of each annual model were limited to polygons based on only the wells that were sampled during the associated year to eliminate interpolating in areas where data is not present. The annual geochemical models were then filtered based on lithology to eliminate any voxels within the areas deemed impermeable based on lithology. The models were further constrained by utilizing the maximum historical water level surface (MHWLS) grid model to further restrict the interpolation from areas lacking measured data. Finally, the voxel models were converted to annual grid models, in which the cell values are based on the highest value within the corresponding column of voxels.The 2023 plume presented here was created from the RockWorks project database files on February 27, 2024 (Gelman5_v2023.sqlite). The grid file titled 2023-01-01_to_2023-12-31.RwGrd was converted by The Mannik and Smith Group (MSG) to a raster file compatible in ArcGIS and converted to polygons of areas of concentrations between the following values: 4 ppb, 7.2 ppb, 85 ppb, 150 ppb, 280 ppb, 500 ppb, 1000 ppb, 1900 ppb, 3000 ppb, and 5000 ppb. The 7.2 ppb lines were created because it represents the current EGLE Part 201 generic residential cleanup criterion (GRCC). The 85 ppb lines were created to represent the Consent Judgement 3 (CJ3) drinking water criteria. The 280 ppb lines were created because that is the new EGLE groundwater-surface water interface (GSI) criterion, and 1900 ppb is the Vapor Intrusion criteria. EGLE is contouring the 3 ppb level as this is the trigger for response if detected in sentinel wells in the 4th Consent Judgment.This is the latest version of the Dioxane Plume data. An earlier vintage is available at: Gelman Site of 1,4-Dioxane Contamination - Dioxane Plume Map (2020 Data).This data is used in the Gelman Site of 1,4-Dioxane Contamination web map (item details).

A series of annual geochemical models were created by RockWare utilizing RockWorks v2021 which were interpolated based on the 1,4-dioxane levels that were measured during 1986 through 2020. In cases where the same intervals were samples on more than one occasion during a given year, the highest 1,4-dioxane values were used. The extent of each annual model were limited to polygons based on only the wells that were sampled during the associated year to eliminate interpolating in areas where data is not present. The annual geochemical models were then filtered based on lithology to eliminate any voxels within the areas deemed impermeable based on lithology. The models were further constrained by utilizing the maximum historical water level surface (MHWLS) grid model to further restrict the interpolation from areas lacking measured data. Finally, the voxel models were converted to annual grid models, in which the cell values are based on the highest value within the corresponding column of voxels.The 2020 plume presented here was created from the RockWorks project database files on June 09, 2021 (Gelman3.sqlite v2021-04-29). The grid file titled 2020-01-01_to_2020-12-31.RwGrd (v20210710) was converted by The Mannik and Smith Group (MSG) to a raster file compatible in ArcGIS and a custom color scheme was applied with the shades becoming darker as concentrations increase. Iso-concentration lines were then generated at the following concentrations: 4 ppb, 7.2 ppb, 85 ppb, 150 ppb, 280 ppb, 500 ppb, 1000 ppb, 1900 ppb, 3000 ppb, and 5000 ppb. The 7.2 ppb lines were created because it represents the current EGLE Part 201 generic residential cleanup criterion (GRCC). The 85 ppb lines were created to represent the Consent Judgement 3 (CJ3) drinking water criteria. The 280 ppb lines were created because that is the new EGLE groundwater-surface water interface (GSI) criterion, and 1900 ppb is the Vapor Intrusion criteria. EGLE is contouring the 4 ppb level because that could become a new trigger for response if detected in sentinel wells if the proposed 4th Consent Judgment is approved.To host the plume files on EGLE's ArcGIS Online, MSG prepared the raster file, contour layer, and the input points used as the input for the specified year model in ArcGIS Pro. The points were labeled using three levels of detail. When zoomed out beyond 1:5000 no labels appear at the points because it would be too dense to read and cover the underlying plume. When zoomed in between 1:5000 and 1:1200, the bore name and maximum 1,4-dioxane at that well in 2020 appear. When zoomed in closer than 1:1200, the labels show the boring name, sample depth interval, and maximum 1,4-dioxane at that interval for 2020. The plume layer was set to 7.5% transparency (this can be adjusted later) and shared as a web tile layer using the ArcGIS Online / Bing Maps / Google Maps tiling scheme for levels of detail 12 – 19.This is a previous version of the data. The newest vintage is available at: Gelman Site of 1,4-Dioxane Contamination - Dioxane Plume (2023 Data).This data is used in the Gelman Site of 1,4-Dioxane Contamination web map (item details).
