Description
The legacy of monosodium methanearsenate (MSMA) application to golf courses is often arsenic concentrations above the EPA’s maximum contaminant level of 10 μg/L for drinking water and the FDEP soil cleanup target level of 2.1 mg/kg for residential areas. These concentrations pose a health risk and must be remediated for residential development. The objective of this study was to determine how arsenic concentrations vary spatially at a closed golf course poised for residential development. Groundwater and sediment arsenic concentrations were quantified and the controls on arsenic (As) mobility were characterized. The presence of nitrates and iron-(hydr)oxides at the studied golf course largely influenced putting greens having the least As in groundwater whereas roughs contained the most.
