Dry Cleaner Releases and Forensic Considerations

Abstract

Abstract Upfront consideration of historical operations and potentially valuable forensic information/data helps to ensuring the cleanup liability at dry cleaner sites can be equitably divided. While each site is different and requires site-specific evaluation, the associated environmental impacts from any given year of dry cleaning operations can vary significantly based on the interconnections related to the type of solvent and/or equipment used at a site as well as the solvent handling practices employed during that specific period of time.
