QUALITY CONTROL BOARD OVERSIGHT COSTS FOR THE PCE
CLEANUP PROGRAM AND FURTHER APPROPRIATING FUNDS
WHEREAS, during operation of the Busy Bee Cleaners, tetrachloroethene (PCE) was
recovered from dry cleaning process wastewater and recycled; however, some PCE was
routinely discharged into the wastewater system during normal operations; and
WHEREAS, from 1989 through 2004, extensive site investigation activities were
conducted to evaluate the degree and size of PCE impacts to the subsurface at and near the
site. In 2008, site cleanup commenced with the startup of two remediation systems operated by
E2C Remediation. In 2012, the remediation systems were shut down as it was no longer cost-
effective to operate the systems due to reduction of contaminants to very low concentrations;
and
WHEREAS, in 2013, the Site Decommissioning Workplan was approved by the Regional
Water Quality Control Board. The decommissioning work is complete and included the
abandonment of one extraction well, 22 groundwater monitoring wells, 38 groundwater air
sparge wells, and 29 vapor extraction wells. Piping was abandoned in place, street and parking
lot surfaces were restored, and the treatment equipment was removed; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends approval of the City's payment of Central Valley Regional
Water Quality Control Board Oversight costs for PCE cleanup program and appropriation of
$220,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby approve
the City's payment of Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board Oversight costs for
