Santa Ana Region - Site Cleanup Program/DoD

The Site Cleanup/DoD Section consists of the Site Cleanup Unit and the DoD Unit

Site Cleanup Unit

The Site Cleanup Section oversees activities at non-UST sites where soil or groundwater contamination have occurred. Many of these sites are former industrial facilities and dry cleaners, where chlorinated solvents were spilled, or have leaked into the soil or groundwater. The Site Cleanup Program is set up so that reasonable expenses incurred by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs) in overseeing water quality matters can be recovered from the responsible party. Facilities are assigned a site specific program cost account to track expenditures.
