Cleaning up soil and groundwater contaminated by chlorinated solvents, such tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE), can be a lengthy and complicated process. When compared to environmental releases from run-of-the-mill retail petroleum sites, achieving regulatory closure for chlorinated solvent sites is not all that common. There are several factors that contribute to this reality; some of which are explained in more detail in The Unbalanced Cost of PCE Spills. It takes a great deal of specialized expertise, experience and technical strategy to close a chlorinated solvent site, and EnviroForensics is an industry leader in this category.
In the past five years we have:
- Achieved regulatory closure for 12 chlorinated solvent sites;
- Remediated 6 additional chlorinated solvent sites currently in the post-remediation closure monitoring phase; and are
- Actively implementing remedial measures in accordance with approved work plans at 15 more than chlorinated solvent sites.
