Former St. Stephens Cleaners (Vallwood Village)

Weston Solutions, Inc. and Koos & Associates

Farmers Branch, Texas

The former dry cleaning operation of St. Stephens Cleaners was suspected to be the cause of impacted soil and perched groundwater on the site and neighboring properties. The former cleaner conducted dry cleaning operations between 1960 and 1992. The suspected contamination source was attributed to releases of PCE from equipment used and storage and handling of PCE in the dry cleaning operations. Immediate remedial actions for source soils and groundwater were warranted due to the off-site migration of groundwater and impacts to a storm water outfall. dse proposed interim response actions which included: 1) Source soils reduction; 2) off-site groundwater mitigation; and 3) DNAPL Capture. 4) Installation of a SVE and emissions treatment systems.
