VRP00702 Auburn Cleaners Public Notice

  • Date: -  

PUBLIC NOTICE
NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY REMEDIATION

Pursuant to the Virginia Voluntary Remediation Regulations, Virginia Administrative Code section 9VAC20-160-120, McLean Village LLC, PO Box 1112, McLean, Virginia 22101, hereby provides notice of voluntary remediation at the following site:

Auburn Cleaners
2-10 East Glebe Road, Alexandria, Virginia 22305
VRP Number VRP00702

Environmental investigation has detected chlorinated solvents in groundwater and soil vapor at levels that could pose a risk to human health or the environment. The contamination is likely the result of former dry-cleaning operations at the site. To address the potential risk, McLean Village LLC applied to and was deemed eligible to participate in the Voluntary Remediation Program. A Remedial Action Plan (RAP) was reviewed and accepted by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ). The RAP includes implementing restrictions on the use of groundwater beneath the site for environmental monitoring purposes only, restrictions against future development of the site for residential purposes, and the continued operation of a sub-slab depressurization system (SSDS) in the vicinity of the former dry-cleaning operation.

Persons wishing to comment on the voluntary remedial action or request additional information should contact the following person who is familiar with the Site:
