Adaptive Cleanup of the "Regional Plume" in Mountain View, California

 

Lenny Siegel

May 2011

 

The "Regional Plume" of volatile-organic-compound (VOC) groundwater contamination in Mountain View, California ranks as one of the nation's more serious remediation challenges. For two decades, community oversight in Mountain View has served as a national model. Now discussions among U.S. EPA, federal and private responsible parties, and the local community may serve as a model for conducting long-term cleanup where the application of conventional technologies is diminishing in effectiveness and where existing remedies have been found to be unprotective.
