intel magnetics

3000 OAKMEAD VILLAGE DR

The Intel Magnetics site is a 1-acre facility that produced and tested magnetic products and computer memories. Micro Storage occupied the site from 1985 to 1986 and used the facility for research and development and pilot manufacturing. Micro Storage also occupied a property adjacent to and upgradient from the site that contributes to the contamination. Monitoring wells on the site are contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), believed to have resulted from surface spills and a leak from an underground storage tank. This is one of 28 NPL sites in the South Bay Area of San Francisco. Facilities at these sites have used a variety of toxic chemicals, primarily chlorinated organic solvents, which have contaminated a common groundwater basin. Approximately 300,000 people depend on groundwater within 3 miles of the site as a source of drinking water. Twenty Santa Clara wells and four Sunnyvale wells are located within a 3-mile radius of the site.
