Based upon the results of the ground water sampling Gore conducted in late 2023 near our Appleton South Facility, Gore developed and shared a detailed workplan with the MDE to expand the groundwater investigation with the installation of 13 shallow monitoring wells and six deeper bedrock monitoring wells at select locations on the Appleton Campus.
The MDE has approved these plans, and Gore is working with Arcadis to install monitoring wells and conduct groundwater sampling. The well installations began in late January and are expected to continue through mid-February. During this time, Associates and the community may notice drilling equipment and sampling activity at the Appleton Campus.
We will continue our ongoing dialogue with the MDE and next steps will be informed by the new data that is being collected.
