2237 S GOLDEN STATE BLVD
The Valley Wood Preserving, Inc. (VWP) Superfund site, a former wood preserving facility, is located at 2237 South Golden State Boulevard on the southeast side of Turlock, California. In 1973, VWP began wood preserving operations that involved pressure-treating wood with a water-based solution containing chromium, copper and arsenic. Wood preserving operations at the site ceased in 1979 because these activities had resulted in on-site soil and groundwater contamination and off-site groundwater contamination. The contaminants of concern at the site include hexavalent chromium and arsenic. In 1989, EPA added the site to the National Priorities List and became the lead regulatory agency for cleanup of the site. On September 27, 1991, EPA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) identifying cleanup remedies for contaminated soil and groundwater. This cleanup plan was updated in 1994, 2003 and again in 2007. VWP has implemented soil and groundwater cleanup activities at the site, including excavation and off-site disposal of contaminated soil. Currently, only residual levels of groundwater contamination remain at the site.
