JEFFERSON AND NORTH FIRST STREETS
The Grants Chlorinated Solvents Plume Site is located within the city limits of Grants, Cibola County, New Mexico. The source of contaminants is believed to be from an operating dry cleaner and an abandoned dry cleaner. The contamination is believed to be present in a shallow aquifer underlying residential and commercial facilities within the city of Grants causing vapor intrusion in buildings above the plume. The wells for the city are located 2 miles north of the site and have not been impacted by the plume. The city water wells provide drinking water to approximately 14,000 residents in Grants, San Rafael and Milan. The primary contaminant of concern, tetra chloroethene (PCE) has been found at levels up to 51,000 parts per billion (ppb) in the ground water. On July 22, 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency placed the site on the National Priorities List. On June 30, 2006, the EPA signed the Record of Decision. The selected remedy includes mitigation for vapor intrusion and thermal and chemical dechlorination technologies to address shallow and deep ground water contamination.
