SITE INFORMATION

Lilyblad is no longer in business. This cleanup site is located at 2244 Port of Tacoma Road, on a 1.98-acre parcel on the Tacoma tideflats industrial area. In 2003, Lilyblad sold its assets and operations to Pacific Functional Fluids, who operates a petroleum and chemical products plant at this location. M&G Holdings owns the property.

In 1972, Lilyblad Petroleum Inc. (Lilyblad) began as a distributor of gasoline, diesel, solvents, chemicals, and packaged petroleum products. In 1983, Lilyblad partnered with Sol-Pro to recycle chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvents. Sol-Pro was the main operator until 1988, when the partnership ended and Sol-Pro moved the recycling unit offsite.

Activities on the property led to releases of hazardous substances. Ecology has identified 23 constituents of concern (COCs) in the soil and groundwater. The COCs include volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, and total petroleum hydrocarbons. Site investigations show contamination to a depth of about 8 feet. The COCs moved with the groundwater to parts of the Port of Tacoma Road and adjacent properties.
