The City of Olympia is revising the Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) Report in response to Ecology's comments. After we have reviewed and approved the RI/FS Report, the city will submit the draft Cleanup Action Plan for our review. 

In 2009, the city conducted an interim cleanup action during construction of West Bay Park. The park opened in July 2010.

Site Description

The Solid Wood Inc. site is about 16.4 acres in size and historically operated as a lumber mill. The site lies on the West Bay of Budd Inlet, east of West Bay Drive and north of the Fourth Avenue Bridge. The site includes the former mill area, former railroad right-of-way, and peninsula.

Past operations at the site contaminated soil, groundwater, and sediment. Contaminants of concern for the site include total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), dioxins/furans, and metals.

The site was purchased by the city in 2006 for development as a waterfront park. The city is now responsible for the cleanup of contamination at the site.
