USGS Well Monitoring Program
Based upon concerns by the public about the potential contamination of groundwater underlying biosolids application sites in many parts of the country, the Metro District organized an independent stakeholder monitoring group to collect data at our METROGRO Farm located near Deer Trail, Colorado.
Members who make up this monitoring group include the US Geological Service, the Metro District, local county officials, soil conservation districts, local farmers, and other interested parties.
As part of this six-year contract, the USGS will monitor biosolids at the production site, the Metro District Central Treatment Plant, groundwater, soils, streambed sediment, and crops at the METROGRO Farm
