More about cleanup

Cleanup Activities

Ecology was investigating an adjacent property and noticed a wet, oily area at the back of the Sea-Alaska property along the east fence. The business had dumped waste liquids and used the cement pad for pressure washing electrical parts, causing cadmium, lead, and heavy oil contamination. The contamination was removed in 2007.

After that removal, soil tests under the parking lot showed lead contamination above state standards. However, since the asphalt parking lot prevents exposure to contaminated soil, we are ready to remove the site from the Hazardous Sites List. An environmental covenant will be placed on the property, requiring maintenance of the parking lot.

The site was removed from Washington's Hazardous Sites List in 2021.

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.
