Scope Of Work
Polluted from 40 years of oil recycling, and despite decades of treatment, groundwater at the Commencement Bay – South Tacoma Channel Well 12A Superfund site remained contaminated with chlorinated solvents that continued to affect Tacoma, Washington’s municipal water supply. The presence of dense non-aqueous phase liquids, including trichloroethylene, in the site’s complex subsurface hydrogeology made this one of the most difficult types of clean up within the Superfund program.
