A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was corn- pleted concurrently with the site analysis phase of the master Mountain view from upper parking lot planning process. A Phase I ESA is the first step in the proc- ess of environmental "due diligence" as set forth by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in general conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Practice E 1527-05 — „ u "Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment Process". The pur- pose of the Phase I ESA is to evaluate the subject property for "recognized environmental conditions" (petroleum and/or haz- ardous materials) within the scope of Comprehensive Environ- mental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The Phase 1 ESA completed for Senator Henry M. Jackson gr:Ajk,4,k,:A,,,- Park was based upon regulatory and historical research, as --A � well as site reconnaissance and an interview with the owner. The full report is contained within the Appendices. The study identifies fill soils that were imported to the park property from • two off site sources. Soils and construction debris associated Athletic fields and cedar trees with the construction of Interstate 5 were imported during the 1960s. These soils were used as fill along the west property - -. line and under the picnic shelter. These soils would not be considered a suitable base for new structures. Fill from Wig- :, - gums Hollow Park is located in the area north of the picnicj. shelter and south of 17th Street. These soils were determined to be unlikely to contain hazardous materials above Ecology ;. . clean-up levels. Hydrology Two low and/or wet areas were identified on the site, one in Cherry trees and woodland in southeast the northwest corner of the park and the other west of the ath- corner of park letic fields. The City of Everett Planning Department has deter- mined that these areas are not wetlands and that there is no need for further detailed studies. Vegetation There are very few trees and shrubs on the site. Most of the site is mowed open lawn with a few shrub groupings near the Summit Ave/E. Marine View Drive intersection at the existing park entrance sign. Most of the low tree branches have been removed to improve visibility. Several groups of mature Cherry trees and a small woodland area are located in the southeast corner of the park. Four sizable Bigleaf Maples lie between the 14 City of Everett
