EPA has been asked to investigate tetrachloroethylene (PERC) contamination in Hyattsville (Chillum), Maryland and Washington, District of Columbia. PERC contamination was discovered during an on-going investigation of a gasoline-products release from a service station located in Hyattsville near the Chillum PERC property. The site under investigation includes a dry cleaning facility and a residential community. The dry cleaning facility is located in Maryland and is immediately adjacent to the Washington, DC border. Groundwater flow flows from Maryland into Washington, DC, and one or more plumes of groundwater containing PERC may be present beneath the local residential community.
October 2, 2003:
EPA held a public information session and meeting regarding the status of the on-going work being conducted in vicinity of the site. EPA updated the public regarding the on-going PERC and gasoline investigations. Approximately 100 residents attended the meeting.
A. Attend public meetings and prepare presentations of completed, on-going, and planned activities in response to the PERC investigation.
