Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 9): Solvent Service Superfund site, San Jose, CA. (First remedial action), September 1990. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5063178
The 3-acre Solvent Service (SSI) site is an active treatment, storage and disposal facility in San Jose, California. Since 1983, SSI has been operated as a treatment, storage, and disposal facility. Mixed and segregated solvents have been recycled by a variety of methods including distillation, separation, and blending. After VOCs were detected in the ground water, the California Water Quality Control Board adopted Waste Discharge Requirements requiring further site investigations and implementation of interim remedial measures. In 1988 and then again in 1989, the Board adopted Revised Waste Disposal Requirements requiring completion of the pollution investigation, final installation of soil cleanup measures, and submittal of an RI/FS and RAP. SSI is currently operating a containment/extraction system for the ground water plume. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and ground water are VOCs including benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, and xylenes.
