L"xcav^u��i� of this soil could result ia the genera[ion of state dangerous waste. In an effort to mini�- iz� t�: ciiance t6at soil, potentially classified as daz:gerous waste, is handled and transpoRed improperl,v, I am requesting that the City iaclude a condition on aoy building permii for constniction projecu condnct� or the Everett Smelter site (see attached map). Any wnstruction projects tha[ will require the mo•n:men[ or disturbance of soil should contain the following condition: Representative soil samples must be collected and analyzecl for total azsenic content. Only soil that will b� dismrbed should be sampled. 'Pse vumber of samples necessary will depend on the amount of soil that will be disturbed. Soil samples should be collected and analyzed in accordance with standazd environmental laboratory procedures. Results of the analysis must be reputtru to the City of Everett Publir, Works Depaz[ment and the Deparnnent of Ecology, Toxics Cleanuu Program, Northwest Regional O�ce. Any excavated soil shall be handled and disposed of in accordance witl� any applicable laws or reg��lations (eg. soii classified as dangerous waste shall be handled and disposed of in accordar.ce widi Chapter 173-303 WAC, the Dangerous Waste Re;ulations). In addition, adequate precautions must be takeu to insure that any disturbed soil does not pose a potential threat to human health and the environment during or after the construction project. Compliance with this condition does not alter the person's obligation to comply with all other applicable l�ws or regulations. In addition to the above condition, I recommend that a copy e� the Snohomish Health District's Public Healt`�•Advisory be attached to any building permit issued for projects within the smelter site study area. ' Per your request, I have included a map showing the genera: azea where any builum� permiu sh� .:: ' contain this condition. I have also included a list of environmental labora[ories'where soil samples could be analyzed. This lis[is only included as a s;arting pointfor anyone interested in having soil � ..�„e CJ
