Short Description

Annual groundwater monitoring at Lakewood Plaza Cleaners was conducted in June and November 2004. Three wells continue to have PCE concentrations that exceed the MTCA cleanup standard of 5.0 ug/L: monitoring wells MW-20B (344 and 241 ug/L) and MW-16A (30 and 48 ug/L), and municipal well H1 (7.9 and 2.6 ug/L). TCE was detected in MW-20B at concentrations of 6.5 and 6.7 ug/L, which exceeds the MTCA cleanup standard of 5.0 ug/L. Cis-1,2-DCE was detected in MW-20B (15 and 13 ug/L) and MW-16A (0.84J and 1.4 ug/L); the federal MCL for cis-1,2-DCE is 70 ug/L. Overall, concentrations are similar to those reported in previous sampling rounds.

Abstract Long Description

This progress report is one in a series describing results of long-term groundwater sampling at Lakewood Plaza Cleaners in south Tacoma. Results of volatile organics in samples collected from four monitoring wells and one municipal well in June and November 2004 are included.

  • Monitoring wells MW-20B and MW-16A, as well as municipal well H1, continue to have tetrachloroethene (PCE) concentrations exceeding the Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) cleanup standard of 5.0 ug/L. PCE concentrations in these wells during June and November were MW-20B (344 and 241 ug/L), MW-16A (30 and 48 ug/L), and H1 (7.9 and 2.6 ug/L).

  • Trichloroethene (TCE) also was detected in MW-20B at concentrations of 6.5 and 6.7 ug/L, which exceeds the MTCA cleanup standard for TCE of 5.0 ug/L.

  • Cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE) was detected in wells MW-20B (15 and 13 ug/L) and MW-16A (0.84 estimated and 1.4 ug/L). The federal maximum contaminant level for cis-1,2-DCE is 70 ug/L.

    Overall, concentrations are similar to those reported in previous samplings conducted since 1991. PCE concentrations continue to be elevated in monitoring wells MW-20B and MW-16A, as well as in municipal well H1.
