Description
Abstract: The Santa Clara Valley Water (District) has perfomed two series of flare tests, known as 'Flare in the Barrel' tests designed to measure the leachibility of perchlorate from highway/emergency safety flares (fusee) in water. The objective of these tests is to understand the potential for combusted (burnt) and uncombusted (unburnt/unspent) flares used ubiquitously on roadways to impact nearby surface and ground water quality following a rain event with perchlorate contamination. These tests help answer questions such as: Can flares cause perchlorate contamination in water? If so, what is the potential impact? Is there a difference in contamination contribution between burnt vs. unburnt flare?
