Excavation and Disposal of Soils Impacted by PCE Drycleaning Solvent

• Wastes generated by drycleaning operations that use PCE are listed hazardous wastes under 40 CFR 261.31 and 15A NCAC 13A .0106.
• Includes contaminated soil and groundwater.
• Why do we care? HIGH DISPOSAL COSTS.
• Luckily there is an exemption.

NC Drycleaning Solvent Cleanup Act (DSCA) Program
• Voluntary program that helps pay for cleanup of sites impacted by dry‐cleaning solvents.
• Primary source of funding is a sales tax and a tax on dry‐cleaning solvent purchases.
• State hires contractors to perform work.
• Proponent of Triad approach.

Options Beyond Excavation to Address PCE Impacted Soils
• Soil vapor extraction• Chemical amendments:
o Enhanced reductive dechlorination (ERD)
o Chemical oxidation• Thermal treatment

• Pros – Most foolproof method to ensure contaminant removal, fast.
• Cons – Expensive, contamination must be accessible with excavation equipment, room needed for roll‐off storage.
Excavation Pros and Cons
![Page 36: Excavation and Disposal of Soils by Dry cleaning Solvents · Excavation and Disposal of Soils Impacted by Dry‐cleaning Solvents Authors: Gordon Box, L.G. Geoenvironmental Project](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011809/5d5bcae188c99339278bc952/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Pros – Often much less expensive for larger projects, some options can reach less accessible areas.
• Cons – Contaminant removal less reliable, longer timeframe, permitting requirements, possible geotechnical compaction issues.
In‐Situ Treatment Pros and Cons
![Page 37: Excavation and Disposal of Soils by Dry cleaning Solvents · Excavation and Disposal of Soils Impacted by Dry‐cleaning Solvents Authors: Gordon Box, L.G. Geoenvironmental Project](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011809/5d5bcae188c99339278bc952/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Excavation and disposal of soil impacted by PCE drycleaning solvent is strictly regulated and expensive.
• Mobile laboratories and other Triad approach technologies can save cost and time.
• Consider in‐situ or ex‐situ treatment options beyond traditional excavation and disposal.
