lockwood solvent ground water plume

LOCKWOOD ROAD

The Lockwood Solvent Ground Water Plume site spans 580 acres on the outskirts of Billings, Montana. Much of the groundwater at the site is contaminated with the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) tetrachloroethylene (also known as perchloroethylene or PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC). These chemicals are hazardous to human health. (More information is available in the Integrated Risk Information System database at www.epa.gov/IRIS). The primary sources of contamination are from the former Beall Trailers of Montana and Soco West (formerly Brenntag West Inc.) facilities. The VOCs leached from the grounds of the two facilities into groundwater serving as potable water for some of Lockwood’s residents. These VOCs can also disperse as vapor and enter the indoor air of buildings.
