In 2021, Ecology awarded Spokane Housing Authority a planning grant through our Affordable Housing Grant Program to further investigate contamination at this site. The goal is to clean up the site so it can be developed into affordable housing.

The 1.8-acre property is on the north side of Interstate 90 just east of downtown Spokane.

Investigation Findings

The 2021 investigation confirmed metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons requiring cleanup are in soil. The contamination came from fill material that was used to level the property for building the existing warehouse there. The fill came from areas impacted by the Great Fire of 1889 that destroyed the City of Spokane’s downtown commercial district.

To clean up the site for residential development, contaminated soil should be excavated and disposed at an appropriate landfill and any that remains should be covered to prevent human contact. Area groundwater is not impacted.
