| Site Name | International Business Machines (IBM) Facility | |
| Site Location | Endicott, NY | |
| Site Type | Manufacturing Facility | |
| Cleanup Program | Not Specified | |
| Entity Responsible for Cleanup | Private | |
| Project Name | IBM Facility Source Area | |
| Project Technology | Thermal Treatment (In Situ) | |
| Scale | Full scale | |
| Vendor | TerraTherm | |
| Project Status | Complete | |
| Contaminants of Concern | Tetrachloroethene |
|
| Media Type | Soil |
|
| Extent/size of area of contamination | Information regarding extent of contamination was not available in the document reviewed. | |
| Description of geology/hydrogeology | Information regarding geology and hydrogeology of the site was not available in the document reviewed. | |
| Cleanup goals or remedial objectives | The cleanup goal for tetrachloroethene (PCE) in subsurface soil was 5.5 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for a single sample and an average concentration of less than 0.56 mg/kg across the treatment zone. These goals represent more than a 99 percent decrease in the concentration of PCE in soil. | |
| Performance data available? | No | |
| Summary and description of performance data | The cleanup goals were met. | |
| Comments | In situ thermal desorption (ISTD) was implemented at the site. Design details for the ISTD system were refined by a laboratory treatability study and pilot study before being deployed in a full-scale implementation. | |
