Site Background

The Site, North Point Apartments is located in the City of Everett, Snohomish County, Washington. The address is 1001 East Marine View Drive in Everett, Washington. The property is located within the southeastern portion of the area designated as the Everett Smelter Site. A smelter processing lead, gold, silver and arsenic ore operated in the area from 1894 to 1912. Many of the properties surrounding the smelter were impacted by air emissions from the smelter stacks and had elevated levels of arsenic in Site soils. Arsenic was found on the North Point Apartment property and the topsoil layer was removed during Phase I and Phase II remediation activities, but some arsenic remains. A restrictive covenant was recorded with the county on August 14, 2001.

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.
