Description | In March 1994, a petroleum release at Shell Mart McKenzie Automotive in Morton, Washington was reported to the Department of Ecology (Ecology). Ecology initiated an emergency response that included the removal of two underground tanks and some of the adjacent contaminated soil. Groundwater monitoring conducted in 1994 and 1996 confirmed the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons at concentrations exceeding applicable Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Method A cleanup levels in the shallow groundwater underlying the site. In April 2019, Ecology collected samples from three monitoring wells at the site in order to assess current petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in groundwater. Results from the 2019 monitoring show that contaminant concentrations have decreased to below the MTCA Method A cleanup levels. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) compounds, and gasoline and diesel range petroleum hydrocarbons, were not detected in any of the sampled wells. Lead was detected in one well at a concentration of 0.67 µg/L, which is below the cleanup level of 15 µg/L. These analytical results meet the measurement quality objectives described in the 2019 Quality Assurance Project Plan. |
