Remember the Titan: TCE Contamination from the Former Missile Site in Lincoln, California

by Lenny Siegel
May 1, 2023

In the early 1960s, the U.S. Air Force deployed 54 liquid-fueled Titan I intercontinental ballistic missiles at 18 sites in 6 states. One such site was in Lincoln, California, about 20 miles northeast of Sacramento. At the time Lincoln had little more than 3,000 residents. Today, a groundwater plume of trichloroethylene (TCE), left over from missile system maintenance, threatens Lincoln’s growing community of over 50,000 people.
