The Township of Sparta, New Jersey owns and operates two small capacity well fields
(nominal 130 gpm) with radon levels ranging as high as 50,000 picocuries per liter
(pCi/L). The proposed Radon Rule will allow a maximum concentration of 4,000 pCi/L.
Although the Rule is not expected to be finalized until the end of 2004, and will likely not
become effective until 2007, the Township proceeded with the installation of radon
removal treatment facilities in advance of the regulations. This paper presents
an overview of radon in terms of its
properties,
regulatory status, and
treatment technologies.
The paper discusses the key design aspects that include:
pilot testing;
cost/benefit analysis for different design configurations; and,
cost estimates for implementation.
