Hamilton-LaBree Roads GW Contamination The Hamilton/Labree Roads Ground Water Contamination site is located 3 miles southwest of the City of Chehalis in southwest Washington. In 1993, testing of the drinking water wells by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) revealed that six wells in the vicinity of the intersection of Hamilton and Labree Roads were contaminated with tetrachloroethene (PCE). PCE, a suspected human carcinogen, is a chemical commonly used as a solvent in metal degreasing and cleaning operations, dry cleaning and other industrial uses.
Site Update September 2001
In the spring of 2002, EPA will begin to install a new water line to people affected by contaminated groundwater from the Hamilton/Labree Superfund site. This water line will provide a permanent source of clean, safe water for domestic use. EPA is planning to complete installation of the new water line in October 2002. EPA is also continuing to work with the S. C. Breen Construction Company, a potentially responsible party for the site, on long-term cleanup.
