More News about Sunnyvale Downtown


It has been a while since we've heard anything about the cleanup of the toxic chemicals, the results of decades-old dry cleaning chemicals under part of the New Town Center site.
The San Francisco Bay Regional Quality Control Board (Water Board) has just announced a proposed interim cleanup plan, consisting of soil vapor extraction and treatment for tetrachloroethene (PCE) contamination there.
This includes the installation and operation of a series of soil vapor extraction wells, vapor conveyance piping and two granular activated carbon treatment units that will extract and treat PCE- effected soil vapor from and around each of the two impacted areas at the site.
There will be a public outreach meeting about the interim cleanup plan held on November 1st at 7pm in the Sunnyvale Public Library Program Room, and the Valley Water Board also invites written comments until November 19th.
