| Subject: | [CPEO-BIF] Building Trust at the Triple Site, Sunnyvale, California |
Building Trust at the Triple Site, Sunnyvale, California By Lenny Siegel October, 2015 There are four schools and more than four hundred homes above the Triple Site trichloroethylene (TCE) plume in Sunnyvale, California. Unlike Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where news coverage triggered widespread anxiety, the Sunnyvale community did not panic when U.S. EPA’s expanded vapor intrusion investigation hit TV screens. EPA is addressing unacceptable TCE levels in five school buildings and five homes, and EPA-led sampling continues with community cooperation and support. I attribute the success of the Triple Site program to EPA Region 9’s proactive and transparent approach.
