| Description | During 2018 through 2020, the Department of Ecology conducted semi-annual sampling of the Yakima Railroad Area (YRRA) groundwater monitoring network. The YRRA is a six-square-mile area located along the railroad corridor in the cities of Yakima and Union Gap. Groundwater within the project area is contaminated with tetrachloroethene (PCE). Of the 41 wells sampled during 2018-2020, 22 wells (54%) had PCE concentrations above (not meeting) the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) cleanup level of 5 ug/L. The maximum PCE concentrations ranged from 5.02 to 26,300 ug/L. The elevated PCE concentrations primarily occurred in shallow wells at three of the source areas: Goodwill - City of Yakima, Cameron Yakima, and Frank Wear Cleaners. Two of the shallow Remedial Investigation (RI) wells located along the western portion of the YRRA also had elevated PCE concentrations. The source of contamination for the RI wells has not been identified. The appendices to this report are provided above -- VIEW NOW, Acrobat PDF format. |
