2 PagesProject highlights Client challenge: Through acquisition, an oilfield services company obtained a parcel of land from a computer chip maker that routinely used trichloroethylene (TCE) and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in its manufacturing processes. The company subsequently sold the land to a developer of Class-A businesses and residential neighborhoods. Over time, underground storage tanks associated with the computer chip maker, as well as other former companies in the area, leaked VOCs into subsurface soil and groundwater, creating a 400-acre groundwater plume. VOCs such as TCE vaporize into the soil vapor and could migrate into indoor air, causing potential human health concerns. Despite having sold the land, our client remained the primary responsible party for the cleanup.
