TOC Facility No 01 176

Time Oil operated a retail gasoline service station on the Source Property from 1968 to 1990. In April 24, 2014, Time Oil Company (TOC) Facility 01 176 filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. 

The Site encompasses portions of three contiguous parcels, the Source Property, Adjoining Property, and Drake Parcel, plus a portion of the 54^th Avenue West right-of-way.

The Source Property contains a fenced remediation system compound surrounded by paved parking and unpaved vegetated areas. The Adjoining Property is developed with a vacant one-story commercial building and contains a fenced remediation system compound. The Source Property and Adjoining Property are unoccupied. The Drake Parcel is developed with a tavern known as the Getaway Tavern.

The service station included three underground storage tanks (USTs), six fuel dispensers, and associated product lines. In 1991, the USTs, fuel dispensers, and associated product lines were decommissioned by removal during closure of the service station.

These contaminants remain in soil and groundwater at concentrations that exceed applicable cleanup levels:

• Soil: Total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline-range organics (GRO), and benzene, toluene, ethylebenzene, and xylenes (BTEX)
• Groundwater: GRO, benzene, and xylenes

The Prospective Purchaser plans to redevelop the Property as a multi-story mixed residential and commercial building with parking after cleanup is completed. The redevelopment plans have not yet been finalized.

The Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) is Washington’s environmental cleanup law. It
provides requirements for contaminated site cleanup and sets standards that
protect human health and the environment. Ecology enacts the MTCA and oversees
cleanups.

The MTCA site cleanup process is completed in steps over a variable timeline.
