2.2 AREA WIDE INDUSTRIES _ Thrae off-site industries have been ideotified by Ecology to potentially contain chemical contaminants. 2.2.1 Rabanco Comoration ' On]uly 3l, 1990, a "Potential Ha7ardous Waste Site Identification" form was submitted to Ecology by Rabanco Co�ration for t6e propeRy directly to the noR6 of the Site. Sno6omish County Solid Waste Division is listed as operetor on t6e form, T6is form was coropleted as pact of a proposal to develop t6e propeRy as a solid waste wntainer traasfer railyard. Rabanco listed "hydrocarbons"on the form as a potential site contaminant. This determination was based on a Level I Site Assessment. At this time, soil sampling does not appear to have bcen conducted at this site. The site is currenUy vacant. 2.2.2 Weverhawser Camoanv The Weyerhaeuser Company pucchased propeRy north of the proposed Nocweast View Park along East Marine View Drive in 1969. Weyerhaeuser submitted a roport to Ecology in November, 1990 to fulfill repoRing requirements under MTCA. The repoR informed Ecology of ra,enUy discovered «;atamination - problems nsulting from the opecation of the former Everett Smelter. A consultant, hired by Weyerhaeuser, conducted an evaluation of the propeAy in May, 1990. Analysis of 27 surface and subsurface soil samples, as well as exposed slag material, wllected from the hillside aloog Eest Marine �ew Drive, indicated concenuations of arsenic snd lead as high as 25 to 70 times higher than the MTCA Method A industrial soil cleanup levels of 200 parts per million (ppm)for acseaic and 1,000 ppm for lead. MTCA soil cleanup levels wero also exceaded for copper, nickel, cadmium, mercury, and zinc in various samples. Trvo ground-water samples wero collected from a single moniroring well on the Weyerhaeuser propeRy in May aod July of 1990. Arsenic and lead were reportedl�• detected in these samples at concentrations ezcceding MTCA cleanup levels for ground-water of 5 paRs per billian for each compound. 2.2.3 Everett Smelter Site T6u site of the former Everett Smelter is located diroctly noRhwest of the proposed Northeast View Perk . According to a repo�t submitted to Ecology by Scienee Applications International Corpoiation(Final Report for the Everett Slag Site, Everett, Washington. June 28, 1991), the smelter was ariginally constructed by Puget Sound Reduction Works in 1893. T6e smelter was bought in 1903 by ASARCO, Inc. and operated until t914. T6e lead smelter mficed ores from Washington,Idaho,and Montana. These ores wntained up to 27`1b arsenic which rrsulted in t6e conshuction of an azuuic e.thacGon plaot on the site in 1898. Anecdotal history suggests that slag materials were discardod over the hillside on the east side of the site and, potendally, in other are.as surrounding the site. Slag materials may 6ave also been used as fill along the Snohomis6 Rivu, the railroad right-of-way, and as alley paving in the City of Everett. After the closure o; t6e smelter, residential housiog and roads were developacl over and around the smelter site. In July, 1990 Ecology was notified of the former Everett Smelter through a proposal submined by Rabauco Cocporation to conshuct a solid waste container transfer railyard. A repoR was also submitted to Ecology by The Weyerhxeuser Company in November, 1990, conceming the presence of smelter material on their propeRy along East Marine View Drive. �
