Eagle Hardware & Garden 453
Facility Site ID:
34311112
Cleanup Site ID:
1496
Site Description
The former Eagle Hardware and Garden Site (now known as Lowes HIW 152) currently operates as a retail hardware store. Soil sampling was conducted in 1997 as part of an independent remedial action. Soil samples indicated the presence of lead, arsenic, DDT, DDE, DDD, and Dieldrin at concentrations exceeding Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Method A cleanup levels.
Cleanup Activities
Protective capping was selected as the remedial action for the site. Several inches of crushed rock sub-grade capped by asphalt was used to cover the majority of the site that does not fall under the building footprint. In areas where soil was to remain exposed due to landscaping, native soils were excavated to a depth of 36 inches and used as backfill under impervious surfaces elsewhere on the site. A restrictive covenant was recorded for the property.
Cleanup Complete
Based upon cleanup activities and the filing of the restrictive covenant, Ecology has determined the site is no longer a threat to human health and the environment. Ecology issued a no further action determination in May 1997.
Periodic Review
Periodic reviews are conducted every 5 years by Ecology for sites that have institutional controls. The review is intended to examine the effectiveness of cleanup activities and to assure the continued protection of human health and the environment.
Periodic review results
The asphalt and clean soil cap remain on the site. Based upon the site visits, no repair, maintenance, or contingency actions have been required.
The restrictive covenant for the site was recorded and is in place. This covenant continues to prohibit activities that will result in the release of contaminants contained as part of the cleanup activities.
Soils with residual pesticide concentrations higher than MTCA Method A cleanup levels are still present. However, the asphalt cap and the clean soil cap continue to prevent human exposure to residual pesticides by ingestion and direct contact with soils. The restrictive covenant for the property ensures that the integrity of the cap will be protected through maintaining the current use of the site.

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.
