PCE Plume Characterization Study Public Meeting

- --------

The City of San Luis Obispo is leading the Groundwater Enhancement Project, an on-going initiative to ensure responsible use of groundwater in the San Luis Obispo Valley Groundwater Basin (Basin). As a first step to improving groundwater quality in the Basin, the City is conducting a Characterization Study to monitor a small plume of tetrachloroethylene (PCE), a chemical associated with dry cleaning and industrial operations, that was detected in the Basin.

While activities associated with the plume are no longer active, the presence of PCE limits the use of groundwater for drinking water. In an effort to expand its local water resources, the City is taking steps to study the location, width, depth, pace and movement of the plume with the goal of providing high-quality drinking water to the community.

The Characterization Study is funded in part by the California State Water Resources Control Board Proposition 1 Groundwater Grant Program.
