Site Background
The Newman’s Chevron site is a fuel station located within the City of Bremerton, Kitsap County at the intersection of 6th Street and Naval Avenue. The 0.39 acre site is located approximately 0.75 miles south of Dyes Inlet and 0.70 miles north of Sinclair Inlet in a mixed use area. A fuel station and convenience store operated at the site from 1961 until 2008. Currently, the businesses on the property are closed, but the fuel pump stations, while inoperable, remain at the site.
History of Petroleum Release at the Site
In 1990 the site was reported to the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) and was placed on the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) List (ID #7972). Six underground storage tanks and a small quantity of petroleum-contaminated soil (PCS) were removed from the site and replaced with new underground storage tanks in 1990. A large quantity of PCS was left onsite due to stability concerns with the removal of the PCS.
