Site History According to the December 2004 A/E West Consultants,Inc. (A/E) Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I) Report, the subject property consists of two one-story multi-tenant retail buildings. The Phase I documented the presence of Quality Cleaners at the subject property. Quality Cleaners reportedly used tetrachloroethene (PCE) in a closed loop system as part of the dry cleaning process. A review of the hazardous waste information system (HAZNET) identified Quality Cleaners as a facility that maintained liquids containing halogenated organic compounds (a.k.a. CVOCs) for the dry cleaning process. A review of on-site paperwork indicated that the waste material was stored in a 55-gallon drum prior to removal from the property and disposal by Technichem of Emeryville, California. The current owner of the dry cleaning facility was reported to be in the process of obtaining a new dry cleaning machine that did not employ the use of PCE in the cleaning process. At the time of the Phase I, Quality Cleaners had a 2154 Torrance Boulevard, Suite 200,Torrance,CA 905010 Phone 310-615-4500 0 Fax 310-615- 4544
