Groundwater below this four-acre former manufacturing facility was contaminated primarily with PCE and TCE, presumably from historic releases at the site, resulting in the shutdown of three municipal supply wells. One of these supply wells, located approximately 3,000 feet from the site, had been retrofitted with an air stripper in the mid-1990s to limit migration of the groundwater plume. The State accepted a pump and treat remedy to address the source area below the former plant after previous contractors had attempted air sparging and chemical oxidation without success. Intesol's goal was to accelerate the time to closure relative to the pump and treat remedy by identifying alternatives for source area remediation; determining if those alternatives could be implemented quickly; preventing natural groundwater flow from carrying source area contaminants towards the downgradient supply wells; and remediating site contaminants.
