Federal Register Notice:  September 21, 1984

Conditions at listing (September 1983): Municipal Well No. 4 supplying Delavan, Walworth County, Wisconsin, is contaminated with traces of trichloroethylene and smaller amounts of three other solvents. The city closed the well in July 1982, when it discovered the contamination.

Status (June 1984): EPA is considering various alternatives for the site.
