How did it get in groundwater at Atlas missile sites?
The exact way TCE was introduced in the groundwater is unknown. From historical records and interviews, it is known TCE was used to flush fuel chambers in missiles and to clean other components. It is suspected that TCE was introduced into the groundwater from operation and maintenance by missile site crews disposing of spent TCE and residential RP-1fuel in the sump below the launch building, which then entered the shallow groundwater and then spread.
