Assessment of the extent of trichloroethylene in soil and water at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Site 300. Report of progress in investigations

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6990285

In 1982 and 1983, LLNL personnel assessed the distribution of trichloroethylene (TCE) in soils, rock, and ground water at five locations within LLNL, Site 300. TCE was found in soil and shallow, perched ground water beneath the 834 Complex and in soil in the vicinity of Spring 3, where TCE has been detected at varying levels during recent years. Soil and rock containing TCE were found at the 854 Complex and at Building 830. TCE was detected in ground water in the vicinity of Well 7 but was not found in soil samples obtained in that area. Following technical review, California Regional Water Quality Control Board (CRWQCB) personnel requested additional geologic and hydrologic information concerning several of the affected areas and, in response to their requests, this supplemental investigation was conducted.
