Public Comment Period

Ecology invites you to comment on the third periodic review for the Weyerhaeuser West Cleanup Site. The site is located next to the Snohomish River in Everett. Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) are the primary contaminants on the site, but there is also arsenic, chromium, mercery, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in some areas.

Cleanup of this site includes a Restrictive Covenant intended to prevent exposures to remaining contamination. The periodic review found that the existing remedy may not fully protect human health and the environment due to incomplete land use restrictions, inaccurate documentation of contaminated soil areas, and potential risks from uncapped contaminated soils.

Site Description


The Weyerhaeuser Everett West Site is approximately 35 acres of land located at 101 East Marine View Drive, Everett, Washington  98201. Weyerhaeuser manufactured wood products at the Site from 1914 until mid-1980s.  Contamination associated with former activities on the Site has been cleaned up.  An Environmental Covenant has been placed on the Site because some contamination was contained on Site.  Weyerhaeuser has sold the land to others for commercial use.

The Site is within, but unrelated to, the Lowland area of the Everett Smelter Site.

Site use restrictions called institutional controls are in effect

Institutional controls can be fences, signs, or restrictions on how the property is used. For instance, an institutional control may prohibit installing drinking water wells or disturbing a protective cap that isolates contamination. These restrictions keep the contamination contained and keep people from being exposed to the contamination. The controls are usually listed in environmental covenants recorded with the county.

Periodic reviews are required when institutional controls are required at a site. Ecology conducts reviews to make sure the controls remain effective and the cleanup still protects human health and the environment. We conduct periodic reviews about every five years.
