9a. Description of request:
This funding is for the soil remediation of contaminated soils for 1500 State Street and 211 Champion
Street.
lb. Primary customers:
Whatcom County and the Citizens we serve.
2. Problem to be solved:
The County had testing done for these properties and established a defined area on both properties that
were above the Department of Ecology standards of acceptable levels of contamination. Remediation of
contaminated soils for 1500 State Street and 211 Champion Street is necessary to meet Dept of Ecology
requirements.
3a. Options/Advantages:
This contamination has been on site for decades and the possibility of natural attenuation is not feasible.
The only way to address the contaminated soils at this point in time is to dig it up, remove the
contaminated soils and monitor the site with monitoring wells to insure that the cleanup meets with the
Department of Ecology standards.
3b. Cost savings:
The longer this work is delayed the more costly the soil remediation will be.
Also the standards for cleanup of these sites will only increase in their complexity.
4a. Outcomes:
The outcome will be to remove the contaminated soils, test the site before clean fill is introduced and
monitor the site until the standards are met by the Department of Ecology.
4b. Measures:
By testing the site and testing the monitoring wells.
When the Department of Ecology takes the site off the contaminated site list.
5a. Other Departments/Agencies:
Facilities will work with the occupants of 1500 State Street to insure their clients have access to the
entrance of the building.
This work will be performed directly in front of the building.
5b. Name the person in charge of implementation and what they are responsible for:
