MODFLOW 2000 and MT3DMS models of potentiometric head and trichloroethene concentration at the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant, Fridley, Minnesota

Description

This model is a preliminary characterization of trichloroethene transport in the surficial and
Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer systems at the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant in Fridley,
Minnesota. The characterization first considered 2001 conditions using a MODFLOW and
MT3DMS, followed by an application of this 2001 model to 2011 conditions. The U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of the Navy, used the
steady-state, uniform-density groundwater flow model MODFLOW to calculate potentiometric
heads in aquifer systems on August 20, 2001; and the single-phase, conservative, non-reactive,
miscible transport model MT3DMS to calculate trichloroethene concentrations in aquifer systems
measured in 2001.
