Site Location
The Pettit Oil Company Tumwater Truck Route site is located at 220 Tumwater Truck Rd in Port Angeles, Clallam County. This site neighbors a similar cleanup site, the Former Shell Oil Bulk Plant. Because of their similarities and close locations, public outreach for these sites may be grouped.
Site History
This site was operated as a “Kardlock” self-serve fuel station since the late 1960s. The site changed owners several times. Eventually, it was bought by the Port of Port Angeles in 1983, who leased it out to companies selling Pettit Oil products and then Pettit Oil.
There were five underground storage tanks for gasoline and diesel at the station. Pettit Oil stopped operations and removed all service station equipment, including the underground storage tanks, in 1999. Now, the site is paved over and vacant.
