Port Townsend, Washington 98368
Gentlemen:
Environmental Associates, Inc., has completed a Phase I Environmental Assessment of the subject
property located in Jefferson County, Washington 98368. This report, prepared in accordance with
lh. t.t-t of our proposal dated March 20,2003 and in a manner consistent with the intent and
methodologies ofASTME 1527 -00, "standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase
I Environmental Site Assessment Process," summarizes our approach to the project along with
results and conclusions.
The contents of this report are confidential and are intended solely for your use and the use of your
representatives. Four (4) copies of this report are being distributed to you. No other distribution or
discussion of this report will take place without your prior approval in writing. Additional copies are
available for a small fee.
Consistent with definitions offered in section 1.1.1 of ASTM 81527, two (2) "recognized
environmental conditions" were identified at the subject property in the course of this Phase 1
activity. These included:
(1) The reported confirmed presence of gasoline and its constituents in soil and the suspected
pr"r.rrr. of gasoline and its constituents in groundwater at the former location of an
underground storage tank removed by others on August 7, t997, arrd'

(2) Unknown/unassessed impacts (if any) to subsurface soils andlor groundwater proximal to
an operational underground heating oil tank on the west side of the existing building. The
uncertainty associated with this tank qualifies as a recognized environmental condition by
virtue of the presumed "material threat" (sec. 1.1.1, ASTM E-1527) posed by long term
storage and use of heating oil relating to this tank.
Excluding the two conditions/uncertainties enumerated above, no other evidence was identified in
the public record or observed at the subject property to suggest that the site has been exposed to a
rishfor contamination by dangerous, hazardous, or toxic substances as defined under CERCLA,
ASTM, or applicable state, federal, or local laws and regulations.
A single non-CERCLA condition of potential environmental significance identified in the course
of thiJPhase I activity consisted of the presence of certain building materials including cementitious
asbestos board, carpet mastic adhesives, duct vibration isolation fabric, vapor bariet, and dry wall
joint compound suspected to possibly contain asbestos fibers.
Additional discussions along with common sense recommendations for future management are
offered for your consideration in the Conclusions/Recommendations section ofthe attached report.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service on this assignment. If you have any questions or if
we may be of additional service, please do not hesitate

Our study approach consisted of completing a series of investigative tasks intended to satisfii the
level of effort often referred to as o'due diligence" by the "innocent purchaser" in the context of the
Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of t 986 (SARA), and nearly identical requirements
set forth in the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA), Chapter 70.105 D (Section 040) RCW
pertaining to standards of liability. The objective of a Phase I Assessment is to minimize potential
f*totr liability for environmental problems by demonstrating that at the time of acquisition or
refinancing, the owner, buyer, or lender had no knowledge or reason to know that any hazardous
substance had been released or disposed of on, in, or at the property. Moreover, in defining the
purpose of the Phase I environmental site assessment process, section 1.1'1 of ASTM E-1527
uOuir.r that the goal of a Phase I is to identify "recognized environmental conditions" and defines
a recognized environmental condition as: " the presence or likely presence of any hazardous
substances...on a property under conditions that indicate an existing release, a past release, or a
material threat of a release of any hazardous substances...into structures on the property or into the
ground, groundwater or surface water of the property."
In an effort to evaluate condition and previous uses of the property in a manner consistent with good
commercial and customary practice and in general accordance with methods outlined under ASTM
E L527-00 "Standard practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment Process," our scope of work for this study included:
. Review of chronology of ownership and site history using the resources of the Jefferson
County Assessor's Office, business directories from several time periods, and aerial
photography from several time periods as primary resources. This included an attempt to
identify possible former industries or uses presenting some potential for generating waste
whichmayhave included dangerous orhazardous substances as definedby state and federal
laws and regulations.
. Acquisition and review of available reports and other documentation pertaining to the subj ect
site or nearby sites.
Review of Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) and Jefferson County Department
of Public Health documents regarding current and abandoned landfills.

The subject property includes an irregularly shaped parcel covering approximately 24,219 square
feet of land. Improvements to the property include a single story, lumber and hardware retall
building withmezzanine. The building encloses approximately 15,252 square feet of space. The
building was reportedly erected in about 1965 with 1987 and 1994 additions. Additional
improvements include paved parking on the west side and graveled parking on the south and east
sides. Currently the property is temporarily occupied by a sailing club whose members are
refinishing a sail boat and two rowing shells. The approximate location of the site is shown on the

GeOUOCIC SETTING
Physiographically, the site is situated on a gently rolling elevated plain which was formed during
the last period of continental glaciation that ended approximately 13,500 years ago.
Washington State Shoreline maps for the site vicinity suggest that much of the materials underlying
the subject site are alluvial and coastal deposits, comprised mostly silt, sand, and gravel with some
clay and peat. The map also shows that the area across Sims Way to the west is apeat deposit and
the area to the north and northwest is glacial till. Glacial till in the Port Townsend area is a non-
sorted blue-gray to gray concrete-like mixture of clay, silt, sand, and gravel which may contain local
layers ofsand, gravel and large boulders. Observations ofsubsurface soil at the subject property by
others indicate that the soil is sandy and permeable. The gtoundwater depth is reported to be
approximately six feetbelow the ground surface. Tidal influences effect depth to groundwater in this
location.

I Topographically, the site is a level parcel approximately 10 feet above sea level. Based upon
inference from topography and local drainage patterns, it appears that shallow-seated gtoundwater
(if present) in the vicinity of the subject property may flow in a southeasterly direction.
Although no site specific information has been developed by our firm with respect to depth to
groundwater at this site, our experience in the area suggests that "perched" groundwater (ifpresent)
beneath the site may lie at a depth of approximately 10 to 20 feet or more beneath the ground
surface.
Port Townsend Bay of Puget Sound is approximately 130 feet to the southeast. With respect to
surface water rosources, Kah-Tai Lagoon is approximately 300 feet to the northwest.
DevetopMENT Hlsronv Aruo LlttD UsE
Sources reviewed for information on site and area development and land use included the resources
of the Port Townsend Public Library, Jefferson County Assessor's Office, and aerial photographs
of the subject property and surrounding area from several time periods.
Aerial photographs of the area were reviewed for the years 1975, 1985, 1989,1993, and 1997 . The
following paragraphs provide an interpretive summary of our observations in eachphoto. The time
intervals between the various historic aeialphotographs selected for this particular project are, in
our opinion, entirely adequate for the intended purpose which was to permit a general assessment
of overall development and land use in the vicinity of the subject property.
lg75 The center portion of the subject building has been constructed. A former owner of the
subject property, Mr. Julian Arthur, estimates the construction date ofthe center portion was
about 1965 not 1977 as recorded in assessor's office documents. The south portion of the
subject property appears in use for outdoor lumber storage and the parking areas are
unpaved. The retail and residential building now present is adjacent to the north' Kearney
Street is farther north. Unpaved Decatur Street is adjacent to the south. The buildings
currently occupied by the Mariner Bank and Terryr's Lock and Safe are farthet south.
Washington Street, also unpaved, forms the east boundary of the subject property. A
residence and two commercial buildings both now present are across Washington Street'
Sims Way, a paved road, is adjacent to the west. An area sparsely covered by vegetation is
across Sims Way.
1985 The subject property and the property to the north appear the same as in 1975. The paint
store building has been constructed to the south. The Captain Jack's Beach Club building has
replaced the residence to the east. The bank building now present has been constructed to the
west.

building and grounds. The representative areas reviewed during our site visit included the retail
hardware sales area, rest rooms, lumber sale s atea,mezzanine,two boat refinishing areas, and lumber
storage area.
The subject property includes a 1965 vintage, single story, wood frame building withmezzanine.
The roof is flat or slightly pitched and clad by a builfup roofing system. A paved parking area is
located on the west side of the building. Currently the building is temporarily occupied by a sailing
club whose members are refinishing a sail boat and two rowing shells. Typical building materials
andlor conditions observed during our site reconnaissance included:
Floors are unfinished wood or concrete'
Interior walls throughout the building are wood panels, Masonite panels or painted sheetrock.
Ceilings are unfinished or are painted drywallor have suspended acoustical panels'
Incandescent and fluorescent light fixtures were noted throughout the building.
Themezzanine and sales areas are heated by a forced air furnace fired by heating oil.
An operational underground storage tank for heating oil is located on the west side of the
building.
. Fiberglass insulation was evident throughout the building.
No hazardous waste is generated on the property in the course ofbusiness. We observed a vent tube
and a fill port labeled "fuel oil" indicating the location of an underground storage tank on the west
side of the building near the retail sales entry. No other evidence to suggest the presence of
additional underground fuel storage tanks (i.e., vent lines, filler caps, etc.) was noted on the property.
Similarly, no water wells or groundwater monitoring wells were noted on the property. At the time
of our visit, no stains, odors, or unusual vegetation conditions that might otherwise indicate the
potential presence of hazardous materials were observed on the subject property.
GHecr FOR PCB.GOruTruUING MATERIALS
Prior to lgTg,polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were widely used in electrical equipment such as
transformers, capacitors, switches, fluorescent lights (ballasts) and voltage regulators owing to their
excellent cooling properties. InI976,the EPA initiated regulation of PCBs through issues pursuant
to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). These regulations generally control the use,

manufacturing, storage, documentation, and disposal of PCBs. EPA eventually banned PCB use in
1978, and adoption of amendments to TSCA under Public Law 94-469 in 1979 prohibited any
further manufacturing of PCBs in the United States'
JN-23077

We observed that all of the fluorescent light fixtures in the building appeared to
be recent installations. We do not suspect that these recently installed fixtures
have fluorescent light ballasts with PCB content.
No pad-mounted or pole-mounted electrical transformers were noted on the site.
Electric power appears to enter the building at the southeast comer from pole
mounted transformers located to the east across Washington Street.

We completed a "good faith" asbestos survey during our site visit. As requested by Mr. Dan Taylor
the purpose of the "good faith" asbestos survey was to provide information for contractors and
*orlrtr during possible interior renovation of the building. As a consequence, no review of exterior
finish materials or roofing materials was completed. The results of laboratory testing are not
available at the time of this writing. The findings of our "good faith" asbestos survey will be

We reviewed a John L. Scott sales booklet for the subject property which contained a portion of a
real estate appraisal by Richards and Associates. The appraiser noted "asbestos/cement board" on
the south exterior wall of the mezzanine. This exterior area was accessible from the roof only and
therefore was reviewed from the ground by our staff Environmental Scientist. We estimate that the
extent of the reported "asbestos/cement board" is approximately 750 square feet. As observed from
the ground the "asbestos/cement board" appeared in good condition with less than l0o/o damage
u."o.dittg to evaluation criteria adopted under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act
(AHERA), 40 CFR, part763.In the current use and good condition, the cement asbestos board
presents no threat to public health or to the environment and no action would be required at this time
under state, federal, or local laws or regulations.
As indicated earlier, our effort regarding identification of asbestos-containing materials within the
subjectbuilding was a "good faith" asbestos survey focusing on interior finish materials only. Since
no destructive sampling ofroofing materials or exterior finish materials was atthoizedfor this audit
or for the "good faith" asbestos suryey, materials not readily accessible such as possible asbestos-
containing ioofing materials and/or materials obscured behind, beneath, or within walls or existing
flooring materials were not reviewed.
ReVIEW FON LCND.BASED PRIruT
Lead was formerly a common additive to many paints to improve their durability and coverage.
Lead-based paint presents a specialhazard to small children, who can ingest it by chewing on
painted woodwork or eating flakes of paint. A number of studies showing the toxic effects of lead
onhumans, andonsmallchildreninparticular, promptedthe ConsumerProduct Safety Commission
tomandate inlgTTthattheamountofleadinmostpaints,includingthoseforresidentialuse,should
not exceed 0.06 %.
A review of interior painted surfaces on the subject property was conducted to assess the potential
for lead-content in surface layers of paint. Representative painted surfaces including the west retail
sales entry door trim, north lumber sales entry door trim, east lumber sales entry door trim,
mezzanine office trim, and lumber storage area north wall were analyzed using "Lead-Check"
sodium rhodizonate color reagent paint tests. These tests provide a qualitative indication as to
whether lead is present in paint samples with reproducible results to a lower detection limit of 0.5
percent, a level corresponding to a threshold of concern established by HUD. None of the surfaces
iested using the "Lead Check" screening method showed a reddish hue response characteristic of the
sodium rhodizonate method as an indication of the likely presence of lead in painted surfaces. On
that basis, we conclude that no lead was present in the surfaces tested.

Radon is a naturally occurring, highly mobile, chemically inert radioactive gas
created through radioactive decay of uranium and thorium. The potential for
occunence of radon varies widely and is dependent upon (1) the concentration
ofradioactive materials in the underlying bedrock; (2)therelative permeability
of soils with respect to gases; and (3) the amount of fracturing or faulting in
surficial materials (EPA, 1987).
The concem regarding radon and its potential effects upon humans arises from
the results of studies (EPA, 1987) which suggest that approximately fifteen
percent of all lung cancer mortalities in the United States may be attributable to
exposure to radon.
The EPA has established a concentration of radon of four (4) picocuries per liter
(pci/l) as a maximum permissible concentration "action level." Concentrations
above this value would signal a potential health threat. According to some
studies, an average concentration in homes across the United States is on the
order of 1.4 pCill.
The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) recently published the results of
measurements for radon made in residences throughout the region they serve
which includes Washington, Oregon and Idaho. For the Port Townsend area in
the immediate vicinity of the subject property seven tests have been performed'
The average result was 0.63 pCi/l (BPA,1993). The highest result was 1.30
pCill,well below the EPA threshold of concern.
On the basis of the findings presented in the cited BPA suryey, we conclude that
the potential for exposure to naturally occurring radon at the subject site is low.

Review of the current Washington Department of Ecology listing of underground storage tanks
(USTs) suggests that 13 facilities with registered USTs are located within a one-half mile radius of
the subject property. The subject property appears on this list as well as on the leaking underground
storage tank list. The UST listing refers to a gasoline storage tank which was removed in 1997 from
the east side of the building. The underground storage tank for heating oil on the west side of the
building is exempt from registration. Information regarding these USTs and their status is provided
in Appendix A.
According to the most recent WDOE Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) listing, nine
listed tank facilities located within an approximately one-half mile radius of the subject property
have reported accidental releases or leakage to the WDOE in the past. The subject property appears
on this list. According to WDOE data base information soil and groundwater have been affected and
the subject property status as of August 7 , 1997 is "awaiting cleanup." We reviewed a document
entitled Underground Storage Tank Removal and Site Assessment Report dated August 29' 1997
by Aspen Environmental, Ltd. The UST was reportedly installed in 1975 and was operational
containing gasoline until 1985. The UST was lawfully removed on August 7, 1997 . Observations
by staff with Aspen Environmental, Ltd. include; the UST was a steel single walled vessel inpoor
condition with moderate corrosion and no visible holes, sheen as well as petroleum-like odor and
discoloration were present in the cavity and excavated soil, the soil was fine and medium grained
sand which was loose and damp, the soil contained shells and wood debris, groundwater depth in
the excavation was six feet below the ground surface, the excavated soil was retumed to the
excavation along with imported sand. Soil samples were collected from three sidewalls of the
excavation and from the excavated soil. The soil samples were analyzed for gasoline range
hydrocarbons using Ecology Method WTPH-G and for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes
(BTEX) using EPA Method 8020. In addition one soil sample was analyzed for total lead using EPA
Method 7 420. The samples from the north sidewall, which was beneath the fuel dispenser, and from
theeastsidewallshowedelevatedgasolinelevels (6,200partspermillionand2,2}}partspermillion
respectively) and elevated BTEX levels above the MTCA Method A cleanup levels for soils. The
MTCA Method A cleanup level for gasoline in soil is 200 parts per million. The result of the single
lead test for soil at the north end of the excavation was 12 parts per million which is below the 250
parts per million MTCA cleanup level for lead. The complete text ofthe Underground Storage Tank
Removal and Site Assessment Report is provided in Appendix B to this report.
We made a telephone request to Sherry Greenup, WDOE Southwest Regional Office Central Files
Room, for additional file information. Our appointment to review the files is on April I,2003 .Ifnew

Information about the other LUST sites is given in Appendix A. Considering the substantial
separation distances and cross-gradient hydrologic positions of the off-site, listed tank sites in
reiation to the subject property as positive risk-mitigating factors, it is our opinion that the potential
for environmental impairment of the subject property from the off-site localities is very low. The
approximate locations of the WDOE-documented underground storage tanks within a one-halfmile
radius of the subject property are indicated on the Vicinity Map attached to this report as Plate 1'

Review of the current EPA Comprehensive Environmental Response,
compensation, and Liability Information System (CERCLIS), CERCLIS
NFRAP (No Further Remediation Action Planned), List, and National Priority
List (NPL) listings revealed no CERCLIS, no CERCLIS NFRAP, and no NPL
sites within approximately one mile of the subject property that have been
designated as potentially hazardous or eligible for participation in the Superfund
cleanup pro$am.
Review of the current EPA Corrective Action Report (CORRACTS) listing
revealed that no CORRACTS sites are located within approximately one mile
of the subject property that have been designated as having a potential release
at the property under RCRA.
The Washington Department of Ecology hazatdous waste cleanup and
investigation program was launched in 1989 as a part of the Model Toxics
Control Act (MTCA), Chapter 173-340WAC, in orderto evaluatepotential and
actual hazardsat sites within the state. Ofthe more than 1,730 sites currently on
the WDOE Confirmed and Suspected Contaminated Sites (CSCS) list, two are
located within a one mile radius of the subject property. The nearest MTCA site
to the subject property is Texaco Bulk Plant, located at 431Water Street. This
site is approximately one mile to the north in a cross-gradient hydrologic
direction. The Chewon Bulk Plant with the address given as Water Street is also
approximately one mile distant. See Appendix A for WDOE data base
information about these sites.
Acknowledging the substantial separation distance and cross-gradient
hydrologic position of the listed MTCA sites in relation to the subject property
as positive risk-mitigating factors, it is our opinion that the potential for
environmental impairment of the subject property from these sources is very
low.

Review of the EPA's Facility Registry System (FRS) and RCRAInfo listing,
revealed 13 sites within a one-half mile radius of the subject property which are
regularly monitored by EPA/WDOE for the use or generation of small amounts
ofhazardous substances as anonnalpartoftheirbusiness activities. Neitherthe
subject property nor any adjacent property appears on this list. The sites located
within a one-half mile radius of the subject site are listed in Appendix A.
We also reviewed the EPA's Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD) facilities
listing for sites thattteat, store, or dispose of potentially hazardous materials.
Review of the TSD listing revealed that no TSD sites are located within a one
mile radius of the subject property.
Businesses named in the FRS listing are users or generators of potentially
hazardous or toxic materials as a normal aspect of their business practices.
Listed businesses are required to closely monitor and report their use or
generation of such materials to the EPA.
Based upon this information, upon the monitoring and reporting requirements
imposed by the EPA, and upon the presumption that the above-mentioned
user/generators exerciseprudence inmanagement ofthesematerials tominimize
liability and EPA penalties, it is our opinion that the potential for environmental
impairment of the subject property from these sources is very low.
Review o f the EPA's Emergency Response Notifi cation Systems (ERNS) list for
the State of Washington revealed that the subject site has not reported a spill.
This list has been compiled with periodic updates since October 1987.

As discussed briefly in the executive summary contained in the cover letter to this report, two (2)
,\ecognized environmental conditions" were identified in the course of this Phase I environmental
site asiessment. These included (1); the reported confirmedpresence of gasoline and its constituents
in soil and the suspected presence of gasoline and its constituents in groundwater at the former
location of an underground storage tank removed by others on August 7, 1997, and (2);
unknown/unassessed impacts (if any) to subsurface soils andlor groundwater proximal to an
operational underground heating oil tank on the west side of the existing building. The uncertainty
associated with the heating oil tank falls into the definition of a reco gnizedenvironmental condition
by virtue of the presumed "matenaltfueat" (sec. 1.1.1, ASTM E-1527)posed by long term storage
and use of heating oil relating to this tank.
Excluding the two conditions/uncertainties enumerated above, no other evidence was identified in
the public record or observed at the subject property to suggest that the site has been exposed to a
risk for contamination by dangerous, hazardous, or toxic substances as defined under CERCLA,
ASTM, or applicable state, federal, or local laws and regulations'
A single non-CERCLA condition of potential environmental significance identified in the course
of this phase I activity consisted of the presence of certain building materials including cementitious
asbestos board, "u.p"t mastic adhesives, duct vibration isolation fabric, vapor batiet, and dry wall
joint compound suspected to possibly contain asbestos fibers'
Additional discussion and guidance pertaining to each of these conditions and/or uncertainties is
provided in the following individual sections.
On-Sre UruoeRcRouND SronRce TRruxs
As noted earlier in the report, an operational heating oil storage tank is located on the west side of
the building and the east side of the building is the former location of an underground storage tank
for gasoline. Our research of WDOE and other readily available/reasonably ascertainable resources
revealed no definitive information regarding the condition of subsurface soil and/or groundwater in
the vicinity of the underground storage tank for heating oil. This lack of data is not surprising or
unusual given the age oith. building and the non-uniformity of application of tank registry and
environmental regulations over the years in Washington. The soil testing In 1997 during removal of
the gasoline UST revealed significant contamination was present at the north sidewall and at the east
sidewall.

Assessment of subsurface soil and/or groundwater conditions cannot be accomplished through visual
examination of surficial conditions afforded by the scope of our Level I Assessment effort.
Resolution ofuncertainties withrespectto the extent andmagnitude ofthe contaminationpreviously
identified at the former UST location east of the building and with respect to unknown conditions
proximal to the existing heating oil UST on the west side could be accomplished by appropriate
sampling and testing at multiple locations. Decision-making authority with respect to conducting
this additional evaluation clearly lies with the client, lender, andlr other involved parties, depending
upon their individual risk tolerances.
Aseesros
Borrowing evaluation criteria adopted under the Asbestos Health Emergency Response Act
(AHERA;40 CFR Part763), the suspected asbestos containing vibration damping fabric on the
forced air furnace on the mezzanineis friable and inpoor condition, however, since themezzanine
is unoccupied the mateialposes no threat to public health or to the environment. The other suspect
building materials are in good or fair condition or are non-friable. This latter type ofmaterial, in the
current use and condition poses no threat to public health or to the environment. No action would
be required at this time under current state or federal regulations.
To reduce exposgre to potential future liability, it may be prudent to consider implementation of a
management policy whereby all maintenance, repair, or service personnel who may be engaged to
work on the property are formally advised (i.e., signed acknowledgrnent) as to the confirmed
presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) prior to cotlmencement of any work associated
with the ACM.
Should the owner intend to renovate, demolish, remodel, or repair any or all portions ofthe structure
containing asbestos, please note that applicable sections of WAC 296-65 require that all projects
relating to construction, demolition, repair, or maintenance where release or likely release of asbestos
fibers into the air could occur must be performed by "certified asbestos workers." Additional
information may be obtained through the offices of Environmental Associates, Inc., or directly from
the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, P.O. Box 207, Olynpia, Washington

This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of Nicholson Development Properties and their
several representatives for specific application to this site. Our work for this project was conducted
in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill normally exercised by members of the
environmental science profession currently practicing under similar conditions in the area, and in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in our proposal dated March 20,2003. The
condition of subsurface soil, groundwater , andlor subsurface appurtenances cannot typically be
determined by visual examination of surficial conditions such as those afforded by a Phase I
Assessment such as performed here. Acknowledging that limitation, no warranty in that regard is
made. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made. If new information is developed in future
site work which may include excavations, borings, studies, etc., Environmental Associates, Inc.,
must be retained to reevaluate the conclusions of this report and to provide amendments as required'
The level of effort regarding identification of potential ACM should be considered a "good faith"
survey, should not be confused with an asbestos survey, and should not be used as a sole
informational resource for removal, construction, or abatement bidding pu{poses'

August29,1997
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of Aspen Environmental's (Aspen) activities during the
decommissioning by removal of one gasoline underground storage tank (UST), associated piping and
dispenser, and the subsequent site assessment. The UST was buried on the east (back) side of the port
Townsend Lumber building at2219 Sims Way in Port Townsend, Washington. The UST was not
registered with the Washington State Department ofEcology (Ecology). The site assessment activities
have been conducted in general accordance with the "Guidancefor Site Checks and Site Assessments
for Underground Storage Tanks" by Ecology, UST Program, dated October lgg2. Acompleted copy
of Ecology's Site Check / Site Assessment Checklist is included in Appendix A.
1.1 Purpose and Scope of Work
The purpose of Aspen's activities were to document the removal of the UST and to assess subsurface
conditions within the resulting cavity. The scope of work consisted of the following tasks:
o Coordinate Aspen's field activities with Mr. Ross Waggoner;
Document the decommissioning by removal ofthe UST, piping, and dispenser;
Collect appropriate soil samples from within the final cavity;
Submit the collected soil samples to an Ecology accredited analytical laboratory for analysis of
gasoline range organics using Ecology Method WTPH-G; and for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene
and xylenes (BTEX) using EPA Method 8020. Selected samples were also analyzedfor lead
using EPA Metho d 7420; and
Prepare a report documenting the field activities, laboratory analysis, and conclusions.
1.2 Tank Background
According to perceived site conditions and discussion with Mr. Ross Waggoneq the 2,000-gallon,
single-wall steel UST, is believed to have been installed circa 1975. The UST was installed by Port
Townsend Lumber. The UST was used to store gasoline for company vehicles. The UST was buried
on the east side of the large building. The UST measuredT6inches in diameter 105 inches in length and
was buried roughly 1.5 feet below grade. The UST was pumped empty by Port Townsend Lumber
personnel in 1985.

2.0 SITE CONDITIONS
2.1 Vicinity Description
Port Townsend Lumber is located on the east side of Sims way atthe southern end of downtown portTownsend, washington. The city is situated at the north western tip of the euimpera peninsula.Beautiful marine vistas are plentiful in the vicinity. Topography along the margins ofport Townsendare flat with surounding flat topped hills. Surroundinis lre primarily occupied by commercial andretail buildings' The downtown area has a distinctive Maritime and historic feeling. The history andrural flavor are highlighted by numerous antique stores, aged Taverns, and small main street businesses.
State Highway 20 is the major route into and out of the Port Townsend. Site access is from Sims Way(Highway 20) as shown on the attached Site Location Map (Figure r).
2.2 Site Description
The roughly rectangular shaped site is located on the east side of the street at 22lg Sims way. Theapproximate surface elevation at the site is 15 feet above sea level (USGS topographic map, SE % ofNw % of Section l l, T30N' Rlw, Port Townsend South Quadrangle, Washiniton). The site isbounded by a commercial business to the north, by Washington Street to the east, by Decatur Street tothe south, and by Sims Way to the west.
Ground surface at the site is flat and gravel or asphalt covered. original construction on the site isbelieved to have begun more than 40 years ago. Improvements present on the site include one concreteslab-on-grade building (-s0xl60) and one gasoline usr *ittt dispenser. The site configuration isillustrated on the attached Site plan (Figure 2).
3.0 FIELD ACTIVITIES
On August 7, 1997, an Aspen representative visited the site to observe the UST removal and documentthe surrounding soil conditions. Aspen inerted the UST on the morning of August T, lgg7.
3.1 UST Removal
The usr was exposed and removed from the cavity by Aspen utilizing a small Kubota trackhoe. Aspenalso coordinated disposal of the uST. Removal activities began on the morning of August 7,1997, andwere completed that afternoon. After removal, the UST was visually inspecteJfor indications of holesor corrosion' The single-wall steel UST was in moderate to poor condition with no visually detectableholes' Localized moderate to heavy corrosion was present on the upper half of the tank. Appendix Bcontains photographs of the UST and removal activities.

3.2 Soil Screening During UST Removal
Soil excavated during the removal activities was screened for the potential presence ofpetroleum
hydrocarbons. Screening techniques included visual classification and sheen testing. Sheen tests were
performed by placing small soil samples in a shallow black pan partially filled with clean water. The
occumence ofa sheen indicated the presence ofpetroleum hydrocarbons. These field screening
techniques allow the field personnel to quickly confirm the potential presence ofPCS. PetroleumJike
characteristics (i.e., odor and or discoloration) were detected in soils exposed in the cavity.
3.3 Soil Characteristics
The UST was bedded in brown sandy soils. It is assumed that these are typical native soils. These
damp soils were loose and contained some silt size particles with abundant shells and wood debris.
Static groundwater was encountered during the excavation activities at a depth of roughly six feet
below grade.
3.4 Sample Collection
After removal of the UST, soil samples were collected from the cavity sidewalls, and from beneath the
former location of the dispenser. Samples were not collected from the bottom of the cavity due to the
accumulation of roughly one foot of water. Soil samples were collected from the trackhoe bucket.
Sample locations are illustrated in Figure 2.
Before collection of each discrete sample, new nitrile gloves were donned. The soil samples were
placed with a gloved hand into the laboratory-supplied glass jars. Each jar was completely filled with
soil to minimize headspace and then sealed with a TeflonJined screw cap. The sample jar was then
labeled, and placed in a cooler filled with ice packs. Sample collection data are provided in Table I.
The samples were promptly transported to the analytical laboratory and analyzed under normal
turnaround.
4.0 LABORATORY ANALYSIS
4.1 Sample Handling
A total of four soil samples were collected during the assessment activities. The samples were
submitted under chain-of-custody protocol to CCI Analytical Laboratories, fnc. in Everett, Washington.
The samples were chosen to best represent subsurface conditions within the cavity.

4.2 Analytical Methods
The submitted samples were analyzedfor gasoline range organics using Ecology Method wrpH-G and forBTEX using EPA Method 8020' selected samples wJe aho analyzedfor total lead using EpA Method7420' Laboratory data are summarized in Table II and complete laboratory data sheets are presented inAppendix c' Analytical results were compared to cleanup levels promulgated under Model Toxics controlAct (MTCA) cleanup Regulation (wAc 173-340)dated Janu ary 1996. The MTCA Method A soilcleanup levels are presented at the bottom of rabre II.
4.3 Analytical Results
Two of the four tested samples contained detectable concentrations of gasoline range organics and BTEXin excess of the respective icology's MTCA Method A Soil Cleanup lelrels. Soil samples N. end UST,Below piping-dispenser @ s-o'ani East sidew all @ 6' contained a,iooppm and z,200ppm gasoline,respectively' The remaining two soil samples did not contain concentrations ofthe analyzed forcompounds in excess of the analyticalmethod reporting limits. Sample N. end usr, Below piping-dispenser @ 5-6,contained 12 ppmtotal lead.
Ij s.o CONCLUSTONS
'] one UST was exposed at and removed from the site. No visual evidence of holes or leaks were'l detected on the outer sufrace of the usr. A moderate to heavy rayer of corrosion was observed on theI ::1tr surface of the steel usr. The UST was disposed of as scrap. The cavity was backfilled with thej excavated soil and clean imported sand.
]l Results of field screening indicate the presence of petroleum-like characteristics in soils exposed in the) cavity' The effected soiiwas most notable on the north and east sidewalls ofthe cavity. Laboratoryanalysis of the soil samples coilected from the cavity also confirm the presence ofgasoline rangeI organics or BTEX at concentrations greater than the MTCA Method i soil cleanup levels. The-J presence of water in the cavity at the time of the usT removal and the presence ofpcs suggests the1 lotential of groundwater contamination. on the basis of the above data, additional soil andj groundwatercharacterizationactivitiesarewarranted.
