A group of concerned citizens visited the Pacific Coast Pipeline Superfund Site on Thursday, April 26th. From 1915 to 1950, a refinery operated on The site; Due to past practices the soil and groundwater are contaminated. EPA installed a system to remove and clean the groundwater, which operated from 1992 to 2002. This system made progress in removing benzene from the groundwater but was not able to clean it up to the drinking water standard of one part per billion. In summer 2011 EPA proposed a new cleanup option of the site, conducted a 30-day comment period and held a public meeting in Fillmore. A final cleanup remedy for both remaining contaminated groundwater and soil were considered. There will be a follow-up tour in May as well.
