Port Angeles Port of Marine Trades Area
Site Description
The Marine Trades Area site is located at Marine Drive and Tumwater Street west of downtown Port Angeles. The Port of Port Angeles (port) owns the property north of Marine Drive, except for the Westport Marine facility. The north part of the property is mostly used for marine-related businesses. The Pettit Oil bulk fuel plant (formerly Chevron) is south of Marine Drive.
Starting in the 1920s, the site was used for bulk fuel plants, log storage, and ship and logging truck repair. Chevron, Atlantic Richfield Company, and other companies operated the bulk fuel plants. Over the years, fuel pipelines were built and abandoned or removed on parts of the site.
In 2005, Ecology entered into Agreed Order DE 03TCPSR-5738 with the port and Chevron for the Marine Trades Area site.
Based on what was known at the time, the site included the Marine Trades Area, Pettit Oil, and K Ply properties.

Cleanup Status
In 2013, Ecology held a public comment period on the remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) report and agreed order amendment. After the comment period, we finalized the RI/FS report. The RI/FS report describes the nature and extent of contamination and evaluates possible cleanup actions at the site.
Following the comment period, we finalized the agreed order amendment between Ecology and the port and Chevron. The amendment:
- Completed the process of separating the K Ply site from the Marine Trades Area site.
- Required the port and Chevron to develop a draft cleanup action plan (CAP) and submit it to Ecology. A CAP selects cleanup methods and describes how they meet state standards.
Since then, the port and Chevron have developed a preliminary draft CAP for our review. We will review the preliminary draft CAP and use it as a starting point to complete the draft CAP for public review. When they are ready, we will make the draft CAP and the legal agreement to implement the plan available for public comment.
