Description The Sears Auto Center Heating Oil Tank Site is located at 2759 1st Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98134. The Site was a former automotive service center. It is currently a rock climbing gym called Momentum Indoor Climbing.
In January 1992, an underground heating oil tank was removed from the property during construction of the new Sears Automotive Center building. Soil samples collected from the tank area did not contain petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) above cleanup levels. Additional soil samples collected on the property in 1994 also did not contain TPH above cleanup levels. Groundwater on the Site is only 8 feet below ground so Ecology suspected TPH contamination in the groundwater.
In August 2013, Ecology completed a Site Hazard Assessment (SHA) on the site. The result was a ranking of “5” on a scale of 1 to 5, where “1” represents the highest risk and “5” represents the lowest risk. The SHA ranking estimates the potential threat to human health and the environment relative to other sites in Washington State. This ranking was based on the suspected groundwater contamination.
In November 2016, 2 monitoring wells were installed at the Site to collect groundwater samples. Four consecutive quarters of groundwater samples were collected and analyzed in 2016-2017. No groundwater samples contained TPH above cleanup levels.

Ecology recommends a No Further Action determination. The site meets state cleanup standards. Ecology is proposing to remove the Site from the Hazardous Sites List (HSL).
