The Parcel 88 site is located at 1621 Marine View Drive in Tacoma. From the 1950s to 2006, the site was a gravel and sand mine and solid waste recycling facility. The Port of Tacoma bought the parcel in 2006.

Former owners brought in soil, concrete, asphalt, wood waste and metal waste as fill. Studies found the soil and groundwater were polluted with petroleum hydrocarbons and metals (like lead, copper, arsenic, and zinc).

Current Status

A former owner and the port cleaned up the site by removing polluted soil, debris, and old underground storage tanks. The port restored 30 acres of habitat in 2010.

The port monitored groundwater four times a year to make sure cleanup levels were reached. Now, a full year of monitoring shows groundwater contamination is below state cleanup levels. Ecology has determined cleanup at the site is complete and has removed the Parcel 88 site from the Contaminated Sites List.

Ecology provided the port with a $3 million Remedial Action Grant to help with a part of the cleanup cost.
