The meeting I had with the superintendent of the Bethpage Water District went pretty well. He was able to give me a lot of information about the work they're doing to monitor and clean up the chemical plumes present and even showed me maps that had been made a few years ago. He even gave me some ideas of mapping the plume as a solid polygon or using contour lines (but not actually contour lines) to show the different depths of the plume throughout Bethpage. However he was not able to give me an actual data set of the location of the plume. He had given me maps from 2010 and had suggested to draw up one of them, but expanding on it because the plume has expanded and migrated a significant amount since 2010. I am a little unsure of how I will be able to simply just draw an outline for a polygon to create this map. Also, this week is extremely busy and packed with tests and assignments so I am really unsure of how much of this project I will get done this week. Hopefully next week won't be as hectic and I will be able to spend a lot of time working on this map.
