Description The Ephrata Landfill is located about three miles south of Ephrata, on the east side of Highway 28. Approximately 2000 drums of industrial waste were buried at the landfill in August 1975. The site was added to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) list of potential hazardous sites in 1979 and Ecology completed a Phase I site investigation in 1987. In 1990, Ecology ranked the site and put it on the Hazardous Sites List.

Ecology issued Final Determinations of Potentially Liable Person status to the City of Ephrata and Grant County on January 10, 2005. The PLPs and Ecology agreed to negotiate an Agreed Order for the cleanup of the landfill. Negotiations began in October 2005 and the draft agreement will be signed by the PLPs in December 2006.

The draft Agreed Order will be open for public review and comment for 30 days after it is signed by the PLPs. Ecology will then respond to the public’s comments and make changes if appropriate. The Agreed Order will then be signed by Ecology and become the document that guides cleanup activities at the landfill.

Ecology Wants Your Comments The public comment period is an opportunity to have Ecology hear your ideas and comments. You may review and comment on the Agreed Order and the SEPA DNS during the 30-day period after the document is signed by the PLPs.
