Oiven the limited nsmro of petroleum 6ydmcerbon <br /> '+ conteminetion ddxted at t6e Site and the subsurface gao�ogy, it is uolikely that ground-water hes baen <br /> impacted by the presence of these compo�ods in coos�Nction debris fill deposited on the Site. <br /> — T6e "sand cap" material covering the north parce� of the Site does not appear to be uniform in depth and <br /> ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 fxt bgs. The material appears to cons�st mainly of sendy sedimenu. Chemical <br /> analysis indicates that heavy metels are present in the material, however, t6e wncentcations do not excxd <br /> MTCA cleanup levds. <br /> Surface and neu'-surfece soil samplas collected from 6and-augers on the east and west ends of the Site, <br /> and in areas other than the construction debris disposal ares contain�d erse°�°+ �edmium and lead soil <br /> concentretiooa above the MTCA Method A residential soil clean up levels at various locations. Soil semp�es <br /> collected from 6end-augers wero roprasantetive of oative geological materials. Arsenic levels canged fiom <br /> 2.7 to 505 ppm,cadmium ranged from undetected to 9.4 ppm end lead cenSed fr°m 9�•2�0 1,910 ppm. Since <br /> '"' historic rxords da not indicate the presence of weste handling,storage or disposal of chemicals in these areas� <br /> the eleveted metal concenastions are most likely associatad w�th the former Everett Smelter site. We <br /> undersrand that as of February 24, 1993,Ecology ezteaded the boundary of the Everett Smelter Site to include <br /> -� t6e proposed NoRheast View Park. <br /> 7.0 RECOD�NDATIONS <br /> ` Hased on the raults of this repoR, wa mcommend evaluating remed�al altemetives for t6e two areas of <br /> concern identifial on Ne Site: the construction debris disposal area �o�a�ed °° �e °O� Pa�� of the Site <br /> and surfaceJneac-surfece soils located Senare��Y throughout the Site. <br /> petrolwm contaminated soil concentrations above t6e MTCA Method A►�sidential soilPotent al remedial <br /> • preseat in the coostruction debris disposal acea located on the noRh end o the propeRy. <br /> a�ternatives thet may be epp�icable to the conshuctian debris area ioclu�� excavation and off-site landfill <br /> disposa�, bioremediation end capping. We understand that excava6on and removal of the construction debris <br /> , , a�d associatod petroleum conteminated soil may not be a viable optioo for the City of Everett due to the <br /> prohibitive costs. Bioremediation (or landfarming)would require soil excavation and handling and available <br /> �� space to conshuct a kestment area. Since tho patroleum is identified as a heavY o��� 11�e treatment time <br /> required to reduce the contsminatai levels below MTCA clean up levels mey be excessive without the addition <br /> of microbes. AUhoug6 this is a viable treatment technique,this altemaGve does not appear to compliment the <br /> " intended immediate use of t6e propedy as a park. <br /> ' Since it is unlikely that the petroleum contaminated soil has impacted ground-water, the installation of an <br /> �-- impermeable/semi-impermeable surface cap apPears to be the most viable alternative to cons.der. This <br /> altemative would reduce t6e rate of infiltcation and contaminant mobility and would also be protective of <br /> ' human hzalth aod t6e envirooment.
