Technical Report · Wed Jul 18 04:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:6486433

The Hewlett-Packard (620-640 Page Mill Road) site was proposed for the National Priorities List on Update 7. The site is located on Page Mill Road in Palo Alto, California. Until 1986, the site was used as the location of an optoelectronic manufacturing operation. The site is currently vacant and will be converted into an office park complex. In 1981, waste solvents leaked out of an underground storage tank and contaminated the underlying soil and groundwater. The storage tank and some of the contaminated soil were excavated and disposed of off-site. An air stripping tower was constructed on-site to aid in the groundwater cleanup. The city of Palo Alto maintains several emergency water supply wells downgradient of the site. No site-related contamination has been reported in these public supply wells. The area surrounding the site is serviced by the public water system. However, there may be some private wells downgradient of the site. It is not known if these wells are currently being used for potable or nonpotable purposes or if they have been impacted by site-related contamination. In the absence of this information, it cannot be determined if the site poses a potential public health risk.
