5.3 SL'RFACE SOIL SAMPLFS <br /> Surface soil sampies wene collectad from the"sand cap" meterial on the nodh pamzl of the Site and from ^ <br /> sandy sediment dredgod from the Sno6omish River stockpiled at Langus Park. <br /> 5.3.1 Sand Cao Material <br /> The "sand cap" materiel does oot appear to be uoiform in depth, varying from 0.5 to 1.5 feet in depth. <br /> The "sand cap" appears to increase in depth in a geaually saulhwest to noRheast direction. The "sand cap" <br /> consists mainly of sandy sedimeat with a small percentage of silt. One surface soil sample of the "sand cap" <br /> materia! wes collected from Ihe noRh parcel and aoalyzed for heavy metals. Metals wero not detected at <br /> coocentrations which exaaded MTC,4 MUhod A clean up levels for residential soil. <br /> 5.3.2 Len�us Park Srockoiled Sediment <br /> ltvo surface soil samples wero collected from the southern end of the sediment stockpile at Langus Park <br /> and enalyzed for TPH and heavy metals. Petrolwm hydrocarbons were not detected in either sample. No <br /> metals wero detected in concentratioas which exceeded MTCA b'et6od A residential soil cleanup levels. <br /> 6.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS <br /> T6e site of t6e proposed Northeast View Pruk is comprised of two parcels, designeted the norlh pancel <br /> and sout6 parcel. T6e south parcel was eccupied by a 6ote1 or apaRment building from the 1930's to the <br /> 1960's. Hoth the nofth and south parcels appear to have bcen vacaat since t6e 1960's. Street constcuction <br /> d�ris was repoRedly deposited on the noAh pa�cel behvcen 1980 and 199U. The construction debris was <br /> subse�uenNy "capped" with sediments dredged from the Snohomish River. <br /> As paR of Ecology's Everett Smdter site investigati�u, two surface soil samples wero collected and <br /> analyzed from the west side of the prope�ty by Science ApplicaGons Inumatiooal CocporaGon in 1991. The <br /> results indicated the presence of lead and arsenic at conxntcatioas above the MTCA Method A residentiat soil <br /> clean up levels for these compounds. These cesults suggestad the pmsence of smelter-related material on the <br /> west side of t6e Sita <br /> Field exploration of the conshvction debris oo the noAh parcel of We Site indicates that the constmction <br /> debris consists mainly of diR, asp6alt, and concrete chunks, as well as limited amounts of ot6er debris <br /> including wire, bottles, cans, brick, ceremic materiel, as6, wood, and, at one locaGon, the remains of a 55- <br /> gallon dnim, a stove and vatious automotive remnants. T6e construction debris 611 is not uniform in depth <br /> over the noiih percel of t6e Site, varying from 2 to 10 feet bgs. The estimated volume of wnshvction debris <br /> covering the nocth paccd is approximately 2,700 to 3,000 cubic yards. <br /> Surface and near-surFa�x soil sampling was conducted at the proposed Northeast View Park as paR of this <br /> assessment to evaluate the potential pmsence of conteminants t6at may be associated with construction debris . <br /> and the former Everett Smelter site a,tivities. 1'he results of the sampling identified two areas of concem that <br /> wi►I requiro romediation: the constiuction debris disposal arra and the surface/near-surface soils which appear <br /> to have baen impacte� by the former Everett Smelter. • � <br /> The subsurface soil sampling results of this construction debris disposal area indicate the presence of <br /> petroleum hydrocarboos at concentrations above the MTCA Method A residential soil clean up level becween � <br /> 8 <br />
