The 13.7-acre Van Waters and Rogers site is a commercial chemical storage, handling, and distribution facility in San Jose, California. Land use in the area is predominantly commercial and industrial. Since 1976, Van Waters and Rogers has used the site for bulk chemical transfers; storage in drums and underground tanks; chemical blending, packaging, and distribution; and rinsing of containers. During a survey of regional hazardous waste facilities in 1982, the State identified VOCs, selected aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, glycols, and alcohols in onsite soil and ground water. The Record of Decision (ROD) provides a final remedy for onsite contaminated soil, debris, and ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, debris, and ground water are VOCs including PCE and TCE. The selected remedial action for the site is included.
