Ted's Cleaners, Nashville, Tennessee
Description
|
Ted's is a 2,950-sq-ft currently operating facility in a retail strip mall. Ted's began operations in 1975. From 1975 to 1985 used PCE wastes, still bottoms, and spent filter cartrifges were disposal in a site dumpster. There are no records of major spills or other significant release. |

Remediation Scenario
Cleanup
Goals: |
Remove, reduce source area. No established site specific cleanup goal but require mass reduction of on-site contamination. |

Lessons Learned
1. We are still determining what we could have done differently -- e.g., what additional info or testing could have been collected that would have helped us make a different choice and or a different design. 2. A larger treatment area would provide for better reduction of CVOCs but is cost prohibitive at this time. |
