Contaminants of Concern

Hexavalent chromium in soils, and total chromium, tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), and 1,1-dichloroethene (1,1-DCE) in groundwater

Action Taken

ADEQ completed the Preliminary Investigation (PI) for the site in 2015. The site was then listed on the WQARF registry in December 2017. The Remedial Investigation (RI) began in 2018, and included soil and soil-gas sampling, groundwater borings, and installation of monitoring wells to define the nature and extent of the contamination present at the site. Groundwater samples were also collected to test possible ways of treating the contaminated water at the site. The Final RI and Feasibility Study (FS) Work Plan were released Dec. 29, 2020. The FS Report was released in September 2022 and presented three possible cleanup scenarios.

ADEQ is currently evaluating the cleanup scenarios presented in the FS and is preparing the Proposed Remedial Action Plan (PRAP). The PRAP Report will present the proposed remedy for the site and will be released for public comment.

Status

An Early Response Action (ERA) using in situ bioremediation is currently underway to address groundwater contamination at the site. This ERA was undertaken to be protective of Lake Havasu City’s water supply and is anticipated to reduce the timeframe and costs associated with the final remedy at the site.
