Shenandoah Road, NY Superfund Site Cleanup
In February 2014, IBM signed a consent decree addressing the remediation of groundwater contamination at the Shenandoah Road Superfund Site in East Fishkill, New York, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Between approximately 1965 and 1975, IBM cleaned and repaired computer chip racks at a commercial property located on the site, a process which involved the use of solvents such as tetrachloroethene (“PCE”) and nitric acid, which eventually contaminated the soil and groundwater. Under the consent decree, IBM agreed to implement the remedy selected by the Environmental Protection Agency in September 2012, pay past response costs of $225,000, and pay future response costs.
