Consent Decree Exhibit C 1.0 Introduction 1.1 CLEANUP ACTION PLAN 1.1.1 Purpose This document presents the Cleanup Action Plan (CAP) for the Everett Landfill/Tire Fire Site (Site) in Everett, Washington. This document is required by the site cleanup process established by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) under Chapter 173-340 WAC, "Model Toxics Control Act — Cleanup Regulation" and meets requirements specified in WAC 173-340-360(10), Draft Cleanup Action Plan. The purpose of the CAP is to: • Summarize the status of the Site following the interim and independent cleanup actions. • Describe the selected cleanup actions and compliance monitoring requirements for existing and future conditions. • Provide a document through which public comment may be solicited regarding the cleanup actions. The CAP is one in a series of documents used by Ecology b monitor the progress of site investigation and cleanup. A summary of site investigations and the Site's regulatory history is provided in Section 2.4 and Table 2-1. 1.1.2 Applicability This Cleanup Action Plan is applicable only to the Everett Landfill/Tire Fire Site. The cleanup actions have been developed as an overall remediation process conducted with Ecology oversight. 1.1.3 Scope The City of Everett (City) and Ecology have been working together for approximately 14 years to evaluate and control potential environmental risks from the closed Everett Landfill/Tire Fire Site. Following two interim actions conducted under Enforcement Orders to regrade and cap the Site and construct a leachate collection system (see Section 2.4.1), the City and Ecology entered into negotiation of a formal CAP and Consent Decree (CD) to finalize administrative requirements for cleanup. In early 1999, Ecology prepared a Draft CAP addressing landfill cleanup requirements. This Draft CAP assumed the Site would remain as a closed landfill, without substantial future redevelopment. This assumption did not reflect the City's current zoning and growth management plans for the Site. Between August 1994 and July 1997, the City revised its Comprehensive Plan in accordance with Growth Management Act requirements. These Comprehensive Plan revisions were supported by an Environmental Impact Statement with substantial public involvement. The 1997 Comprehensive Plan prioritizes development of the Everett Landfill/Tire Fire Site "with FINAL - March 2001 1-1 Everett Landfill Tire Fire Site Cleanup Action Plan 1
