HIGHWAY 141 N OF MERAMEC RIVER
The Valley Park TCE site is located within the city limits of Valley Park. The site boundaries are the extent of a plume of contaminated ground water in the Meramec River alluvial aquifer. In 1982, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) detected a number of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) including trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE), and trichloroethane (TCA) in all three municipal water supply wells serving the community. Private wells within the vicinity of the site are also contaminated with VOCs. However, the private wells reportedly are used only for industrial purposes. There were approximately 3,000 people in the community who had obtained drinking water from the affected ground water.
