Our decision on who may receive vapor intrusion mitigation systems and public water connections came from information we received after water and air samples were taken in February to June 2011.
Water
EPA has received funding for the public water connection. We are in the process of working out the logistics with the city of Akron and hope to begin construction by August. Residents whose homes are eventually hooked up to city water will have a monthly water bill but won’t have to pay for the actual connections. The Meadows of Copley units aren’t included because they are already connected to public water.
In addition to providing homes with city water, the tetrachloroethene, or PERC, cleanup involves treating the ground water in place. To do this, a thick chemical solution will be injected into the soil to break up the PERC into harmless compounds.
Some new monitoring wells are also being installed to see if there is more PERC contamination deeper underground. These wells, along with those previously installed, will be sampled through March 2014. The results will be available by December 2014 in a document called a Remedial Investigation Report.
Vapor
EPA has received funding to install the vapor intrusion mitigation systems. We hope to begin installing these systems by July.
Small indoor systems (about the size of a football) will be placed in some basements to extract air from the soil beneath them. Harmful vapors will be vented outdoors where they become harmless. Air venting systems will be installed for free but there would be a slight increase in monthly electric bills.
