- Summary of Major Findings and Conclusions in the Report
- Significant TCE remains in groundwater and in soil gas that evaporates from it.
- One area appears to have outdoor and indoor TCE levels above "background."
- Significant indoor TCE vapor intrusion was found in only one home.
- That has been mitigated through an active under-slab venting system.
- Other findings and conclusions ..
- Important Issues
- At current pumping rates, for how many decades will significant TCE remain in groundwater?
- Will slabs under homes remain impervious to TCE vapor intrusion from soil gas for those decades?
- Are TCE soil gas concentrations high enough to cause problems if slabs develop leaks?
- Should we recommend additional or accelerated activity to remove TCE from groundwater and soil?
- What reviews and conditions should be applied to proposals for new development in the vicinity?
- Other issues ..
- Individual Questions, Answers, Viewpoints, and Requests
- Community Conclusions and Recommendations
