fairchild semiconductor corp. (mountain view plant)

464 ELLIS ST

The 56-acre former Fairchild Semiconductor Corp. - Mountain View facilities manufactured semiconductors and is located in Mountain View, California. The Fairchild Semiconductor Corp - Mountain View site is one of three Superfund or National Priorities List (NPL) sites that are being cleaned up simultaneously. The other two Superfund sites are the Intel - Mountain View site and the Raytheon site. All three sites are located in the Middlefield-Ellis-Whisman (MEW) Study Area and are being addressed collectively as the MEW SIte. Site investigations at several of these facilities during 1981 and 1982 revealed extensive soil and groundwater contamination, primarily volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Fourteen potential sources of contamination have been identified at the former Fairchild facilities, including underground and aboveground storage tanks for chemical products and wastes, pH neutralization systems, and industrial wastewater treatment systems.
