Chlorinated solvents pose a significant threat to drinking water sources across the United States. Although modern handling and disposal practices are strictly regulated, past practices were less controlled, leading to widespread contamination.
Dry cleaners have historically used Tetrachloroethyene (PCE), while industrial manufacturing facilities often relied on solvents like Trichloroethyene (TCE) and methylene chloride. When these substances were released into the environment, they seeped into groundwater systems. Once in aquifers, these solvents and their byproducts can linger for decades, posing long-term risks to drinking water supplies.
DeWind One-Pass Trenching has utilized its advanced One-Pass Technology to tackle these challenges head-on.
