What's New?
JELD-WEN is currently conducting pre-remedial design investigations at the Site. The purpose of these investigations is to provide data needed for the design of the cleanup actions selected with the Cleanup Action Plan prepared by Ecology in August 2023.
Background
The JELD-WEN site (former Nord Door facility) is located on the Snohomish River waterfront at 300 West Marine View Drive, Everett, WA. The site consists of five adjoining parcels with a combined upland area of approximately 36 acres, as well as adjacent tidal mudflats.
Operations at the site have included door and casket manufacturing, wood treating, fish net storage, saw milling, and asphalt mixing.
- 1920s-1985: National Pole Company treated poles in the uplands area prior to the 1940s. By the mid-1940s, Nord Door was operating the site as a stile and rail door plant. Nord Door operated an oil-fired boiler on the eastern portion of the site prior to 1957. Former above and below ground storage tanks (USTs/ASTs) were located in the eastern portion of the site along West Marine View Drive and also further to the west, beneath what is now the southern portion of the main manufacturing building.
- 1986-mid-1990s: JELD-WEN, Inc. (JELD-WEN) acquired the property in May 1986 through the bankruptcy court. JELD-WEN’s operations included the purchase of rough green wood; drying, planning, and cutting the lumber; and assembly of finished wooden doors, rails, posts, columns, and spindles.
- Mid-1990s-Present: Various asphalt companies have leased the northeast portion of the site since the mid 1990's. Cadman is the current operator, following CEMEX (formerly Rinker Materials and formerly Sterling Asphalt). They have operated this portion of the site as an asphalt batch plant through the present. JELD-WEN ceased operations at the site in 2005.
Investigations identified carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxin/furans, petroleum hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soil, soil gas, groundwater, and sediment. Site contamination is likely the result of the former wood door plant and machine shop’s manufacturing and production processes, leaks/spills from above and below ground storage tanks and from the former pole treating yard.
Status
Ecology and JELD-WEN entered into a formal legal agreement called an Agreed Order for site cleanup on January 2, 2008. The Agreed Order required JELD-WEN to develop a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) work plan, an RI/FS report, and a draft cleanup action plan (CAP). The initial RI/FS work plan was approved by Ecology on October 27, 2008. Field activities began in May 2009 with the collection of soil, groundwater, and sediment samples. An amendment extending the existing Agreed Order to conduct pre-design investigation and engineering design is available for public comment from June 15, 2023 – July 15, 2023.
Since the initial remedial investigation in 2009, multiple rounds of assessments have been completed at the JELD-WEN site in both the uplands and in-water to fully characterize the site. You can read and download reports describing these assessments by clicking the View Electronic Documents link. Site investigation work was completed in 2020.
The Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study report was finalized in 2021. The Remedial Investigation Study describes the nature and extent of contamination on the site and includes the information collected in the assessments described above. The Feasibility Study describes options for cleanup, evaluates those options, and presents a preferred alternative.
Ecology finalized a Cleanup Action Plan (CAP) and SEPA Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance document in August 2023. The CAP describes the selected cleanup actions for contamination found in uplands and marine areas. This includes excavation and off-site disposal of contaminated soil and sediment, capping some areas with contaminated sediment, controlling sources of contamination, and placing controls to prevent future exposure to contamination. The SEPA Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance states that after reviewing the draft CAP in conjunction with the SEPA checklist, Ecology determined that the activities in the draft CAP are not likely to harm human health or the environment.
