BARNSTABLE--The Air Force is planning a cleanup in a section of Falmouth where groundwater has been contaminated by cleaning solvents from the Massachusetts Military Reservation. The plan, announced yesterday, is part of a broader cleanup of the Ashumet Valley plume, an underground flow of contaminated water eminating from the reservation. The solvents dissolved in groundwater about 75 to 100 feet below the surface. The first phase of the cleanup involves drilling a well to extract the groundwater. That work is expected to begin Tuesday.
