Description The Aladdin Plating site (the Site), located in Tacoma, Washington, operated historically as a commercial electroplating facility between 1958 and 1994, resulting in contamination in site soils and subsequently site groundwater.

This report describes the water quality results for groundwater samples collected from four monitoring wells during semiannual monitoring events conducted in 2024. The samples were analyzed for total and dissolved chromium and nickel.

Analytical results from groundwater samples in 2024 indicate continued nickel impact to the near-surface aquifer at the former Aladdin Plating site. While nickel concentrations have decreased since initial site activities began in 2005, groundwater samples from the site continue to exceed (not meet) cleanup levels for nickel as established by the Cleanup Action Plan submitted by GeoEngineers in 2014, ranging as high as 11,400 µg/L for total nickel at MW-8s in April 2024.
