Former Brookdale Golf Club
In 2019, Ecology was told that pesticide contamination had been found in the soil. Since then, contamination has been investigated in soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment. While some cleanup was done, additional investigation is still needed at the site.
The investigation and cleanup of the site is being conducted independently through Ecology's Voluntary Cleanup Program by Ichijo USA Company. Upon request of participants in the Voluntary Cleanup Program, Ecology reviews and makes suggestions about how an investigation and cleanup will meet state cleanup requirements. Ecology has reviewed this project twice, on December 10, 2019 and August 24, 2020. For both reviews, Ecology provided suggestions to further investigate and cleanup dieldrin and other contaminants.
Ecology expects to receive and review additional documents describing how the suggestions were included in the ongoing investigation and cleanup of the site.
Voluntary Cleanup Program
This site was cleaned up under our Voluntary Cleanup Program, which provides technical help to owners of contaminated sites.
Voluntary Cleanup Program customers pay fees to cover our costs for technical help and reviewing cleanup reports. Sites in this program must meet the same cleanup standards as the sites Ecology manages under legal orders.
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.
