September 20, 2009 - Even though the last test of her house two years ago showed no problems, Karen Reeder still worries about a contaminated plume of groundwater that is moving underground.
In 2003, ground water beneath the Behr facility, 1600 Webster St., was found to be contaminated with trichloroethene, or TCE, a solvent linked to health problems. By 2006, a contaminated ground water plume was determined to be moving south-southwest into the nearby neighborhood.

Sounds like there may be a long forgotten dumpsite in the McCook Field neighborhood. TCE is found in most closed dumps and many schools and parks across the country have been built on closed dumps. Has there been an investigation of previous land-use of the McGuffey School and nearby Claire Ridge Park? Another area to investigate is the property between Leonhard St., Webster St., Keowee St., and Hillrose Ave.
