In 2010, one of Cox-Colvin’s clients expressed the desire to have us locate the source or sources of VOC contamination beneath one of their manufacturing facilities. We knew, on the basis of groundwater contamination and the facility’s history of chemical use, that the solvent tetrachloroethene (aka perchloroethene, PCE) was present in soil. And we knew of several potential sources – two former degreasers, and three above-ground storage tanks (ASTs), one of which had a known PCE spill decades earlier of approximately 50 gallons. But the PCE plume in groundwater didn’t line up with the suspected source areas. Fortunately, we had recently developed the Vapor Pin®, and this was the perfect place to test it.
