Sonoco must complete cleanup activities that protect human health and the environment. Actions include testing soils and groundwater for compliance with Washington State’s Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) risk-based standards and implementing remedial actions at the site based on testing results.
A tentative virtual public meeting followed by a hearing to provide information on the cleanup and receive comments from the public is scheduled for May 19, 2026, on ZOOM at 6:00 p.m. Register online. Registration is required. For help with registration, please contact Tara Roberts 360-280-4325 or tara.roberts@ecy.wa.gov. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the hearing. The public hearing will be held if Ecology receives significant public interest.
