Gailleon Park
Site Description
Cleanup Activities
Construction of the Senior Center facility took place after the Site was capped. Excavation into the soil cap was required to install utilities for the facility. Handling of contaminated soils during excavation followed the Contaminated Soils management and Inspection Plan, which was created as part of the Project Manual for the Site. Clean fill and contaminated soils were segregated during excavation. All contaminated soils were placed back into utility trenches a minimum of 12 inches below grade. Excess soils that could not be backfilled were transported offsite to an approved landfill.
A Restrictive Covenant was recorded for the Site in 2003.

Periodic Review
Periodic Review Results
Based upon site visits conducted in September 2008 and October 2013, the Site is currently operating as a Senior Center. The majority of the site is covered by asphalt and building structures, and landscaped areas are in excellent condition.
The Restrictive Covenant for the Site was recorded and is in place. This Restrictive Covenant prohibits activities that will result in the release of contaminants contained as part of the cleanup without Ecology’s approval, and prohibits any use of the property that is inconsistent with the Covenant. This Restrictive Covenant serves to assure the long term integrity of the cap.
Soils with lead and arsenic concentrations higher than Method A cleanup levels are still present. However, the cap continues to prevent human exposure to contamination 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.
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.
