Technical Report · Fri Sep 27 04:00:00 EDT 1991

OSTI ID:7128536

The 35-acre Sola Optical USA site is an active ophthalmic lens manufacturing facility in southern Sonoma County, California. The city of Petaluma utilizes an unconfined aquifer, which underlies the site, as a drinking water source. In 1982, Sola identified low levels of solvents in onsite ground water near six underground solvent storage tanks used to store TCA, acetone, and methanol. In 1987, the SFRWQCB ordered Sola to construct a ground water extraction and treatment system and, in 1988, the treatment system began pumping and treating ground water using granulated activated carbon to remove VOC contamination, followed by discharging the treated ground water under permit to Adobe creek. The Record of Decision (ROD) provides a final remedy to restore ground water to its beneficial use. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs. The selected remedial action for the site is included.
