Description The Department of Ecology (Ecology) and 8701 Greenwood LLC propose superseding (replacing) the Restrictive Covenant (RC) for the Texaco 211544 cleanup Site. The Site is located at 8701 Greenwood Avenue N in Seattle, Washington (the Property). Site data indicate that the existing RC should be superseded to better protect current Site conditions.

From the 1930s to the early 1990’s the Site operated as a service station. In the mid 1990’s the service station infrastructure was removed. The property was redeveloped with a drugstore. The drugstore was vacated in 2017. It is currently unoccupied.

Ecology provides technical and regulatory review assistance through the VCP.

Ecology and 8701 Greenwood LLC propose superseding the existing RC with a new Environmental Covenant. The Environmental Covenant will require protection of contamination related to SMI Inc. Trust Site and will r
