Site History
1963 – 1988 – SHA operates the lab; TCE was used to extract aggregate from asphalt core samples
Mid 1980’s – SHA and MDE begin site assessment
1994-2003 – SHA operates groundwater pump and treat
2008 – SHA and MDE sign a Consent Order
2008-2011 – SHA completes the RI/FS process and develops the Thermal Remediation Work Plan

Project History
2011, SHA awarded a performance based contract : Contractor to design, install, and operate Reduce TCE in soil by an average of 95% Meet MDE Non-Residential Cleanup Standard for TCE in Soil
Remediation to be completed within 210 calendar days
SHA awards to the lowest bidder; must meet Contractor Equipment and Experience Statement
Contract successfully completed in September 2012, post-remediation groundwater monitoring underway

Thermal Treatment – Lessons Learned Work with your regulator, define and document
measureable goals Mixtures of TCE and asphalt influence the remedy Be cautious using old data to specify the remedy Be cautious drawing the source area boundary at
the property line Performance-based contracts address risk and
reduce design effort If performance is based only on parent material
concentrations (e.g. TCE), consider that daughter product concentrations may increase
