Item No. 8.
For Meeting of: March 16, 2021
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing participation in Agreed Order for remediation
at the 1808 N 1st Street former Tiger Oil site
SUBMITTED BY: Sara Watkins, City Attorney
Bill Preston, City Engineer
Joan Davenport, Community Development Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The work required under this Agreed Order (AO) is to address remaining gasoline-related
contamination in soil and groundwater at 1808 N 1st Street. A release of gasoline from an
underground storage tank (UST) system was first identified in 1982. Since that time, various
investigations and remedial actions have taken place including pumping to remove free product in
1982 and 1983. An assessment of the extent of groundwater contamination was performed by
the U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) in 1991. The USTs were removed in 2005. The extent of
soil and groundwater contamination was reassessed in 2017. The 2017 study showed that while
soil and groundwater contamination concentrations remain above MTCA Method A cleanup
levels, the extent of contamination is much smaller than the extent of contamination delineated in
1991.
The property is under a Lease-to-Own agreement between the City and a Lessee. The work
described herein will be done on behalf of the City, but will need to be done in consultation with
the Lessee. This includes coordinating locations and periods of work with the Lessee to
minimize adverse impacts to the Lessee's operations. Cleanup at the site under this Agreed
Order is proposed as an Interim Action. An Interim Action is a cleanup action under the Model
Toxics Control Act (MTCA) that can be performed at any time, and potentially result in a final
cleanup action. A Remedial Action Grant for this project has been received by the City of Yakima
to cover the clean-up costs of this project. (1808 North 1st Street, site 4922 — TC P RA-1921-
Yakicm-00121 for$1,215,000 state share).

INTRODUCTION
The mutual objective of the State of Washington, Department of Ecology (Ecology) and
City of Yakima(City)under this Agreed Order(Order)is to provide for remedial action at a facility
where there has been a release or threatened release of hazardous substances. This Order requires
the City to complete an interim action for the site identified by Ecology as the Tiger Oil N 14 St
Fmr 6013 (aka Tiger Oil N 14 St Site), located at 1808 N 1st St, Yakima, Washington 98902 (the
Site). Ecology believes the actions required by this Order are in the public interest.
L JURISDICTION
This Agreed Order is issued pursuant to the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA),
RCW 70.105D.050(1).
II. PARTIES BOUND
This Agreed Order shall apply to and be binding upon the Parties to this Order, their
successors and assigns. The undersigned representative of each party hereby certifies that he or
she is fully authorized to enter into this Order and to execute and legally bind such party to comply
with this Order. The City agree to undertake all actions required by the terms and conditions of
this Order. No change in ownership or corporate status shall alter the City' responsibility under
this Order. The City shall provide a copy of this Order to all agents, contractors, and subcontractors
retained to perform work required by this Order, and shall ensure that all work undertaken by such
agents, contractors, and subcontractors complies with this Order.
III. DEFINITIONS
Unless otherwise specified herein, the definitions set forth in RCW 70.105D and
WAC 173-340 shall control the meanings of the terms in this Order.
A. Site: The Site is referred to as "Tiger Oil N lsr St Fmr 6013". The Site constitutes a
facility under RCW 70.105D.020(8). The Site is defined by where a hazardous substance,
other than a consumer product in consumer use, has been deposited, stored, disposed of, or
placed, or otherwise come to be located. Based upon factors currently known to Ecology,
6
Agreed Order No. DE
Page 3 of 20
the Site is generally located at 1808 N 1st St, Yakima, Washington as shown in the Site
Location Map (Exhibit A).
B. Parties: Refers to the State of Washington, Department of Ecology and City of
Yakima
C. (City): Refers to City of Yakima
D. Agreed Order or Order: Refers to this Order and each of the exhibits to this Order.
All exhibits are integral and enforceable parts of this Order.
IV. FINDINGS OF FACT
Ecology makes the following findings of fact, without any express or implied admissions
of such facts by the City:
A. The City owns parcel 18131244412, located at 1808 N. Pt Street. According to the Yakima
County GIS system, the parcel was acquired by the City from Tiger Oil Corp-Idaho on
February 21, 2014.
B. Ecology received a notice of a release of gasoline from a leaking underground storage tank
system at this property on or about September 15, 1982 and verified the release during an
initial investigation and follow-up site inspections.
C. A Site Hazard Assessment was completed by Ecology on June 30, 1991. The Site Hazard
Assessment resulted in the Site being given a rank of 3, on a scale with 1,the highest,to 5,
the lowest.
D. Soil and groundwater contamination above MTCA Method A Cleanup Levels was verified
during an investigation conducted in 2017. Concentrations exceeding MTCA cleanup
standards pose a risk to human health and the environment.
V. ECOLOGY DETERMINATIONS
Ecology makes the following determinations, without any express or implied admissions
of such determinations (and underlying facts)by the City.
A. The City of Yakima is an"owner or operator"as defined in RCW 70.105D.020(22)
of a"facility" as defined in RCW 70.105D.020(8).
7
Agreed Order No. DE
Page 4 of 20
B. Based upon all factors known to Ecology, a "release" or "threatened release" of
"hazardous substance(s)"as defined in RCW 70.105D.020(32)and(13),respectively,has occurred
at the Site.
C. Based upon evidence Ecology deems credible, Ecology issued a potentially liable person
(PLP) status letter to the City dated September 16, 2014, pursuant to RCW 70.105D.040,
.020(26), and WAC 173-340-500. After providing for notice and opportunity for comment,
and concluding that credible evidence supported a finding of potential liability, Ecology
issued a determination that the City of Yakima is a PLP under RCW 70.105D.040 and
notified the City of this determination by letter dated October 28, 2014.
D. Pursuant to RCW 70.105D.030(1)and .050(1), Ecology may require the City to investigate
or conduct other remedial actions with respect to any release or threatened release of
hazardous substances, whenever it believes such action to be in the public interest. Based
on the foregoing facts, Ecology believes the remedial actions required by this Order are in
the public interest.
Under WAC 173-340-430, an interim action is a remedial action that is technically necessary to
reduce a threat to human health or the environment by eliminating or substantially reducing one
or more pathways for exposure to a hazardous substance,that corrects a problem that may become
substantially worse or cost substantially more to address if the remedial action is delayed, or that
is needed to provide for completion of a site hazard assessment, remedial investigation/feasibility
study, or design of a cleanup action plan.
Based on these circumstances, Ecology has determined that an interim action is warranted under
WAC 173-340-430. Either party may propose an additional interim action under this Order. If the
Parties are in agreement concerning the additional interim action, the Parties will follow the
process in Section VII.D. If the Parties are not in agreement, Ecology reserves its authority to
8
Agreed Order No. DE
Page 5 of 20
require additional interim action(s)under a separate order or other enforcement action under RCW
70.105D, or to undertake the interim action(s) itself.
VI. WORK TO BE PERFORMED
Based on the Findings of Fact and Ecology Determinations, it is hereby ordered that the
City take the following remedial actions at the Site. And that these actions must be conducted in
accordance with WAC 173-340:
A. The City will complete an Interim Action to clean up onsite soil and groundwater
with contaminants present at concentrations above MTCA Method A cleanup levels in accordance
with the schedule and terms of the Scope of Work and Schedule, Exhibit B, and all other
requirements of this Order. The City shall submit to Ecology written quarterly Progress Reports
that describe the actions taken during the previous quarter to implement the requirements of this
Order. All Progress Reports shall be submitted by the tenth(10th)day of the month in which they
are due after the effective date of this Order. Unless otherwise specified by Ecology, Progress
Reports and any other documents submitted pursuant to this Order shall be sent by mail and
electronic mail to Ecology's project coordinator. Electronic files too large for Ecology's email
system shall be burned on CDs/DVDs and mailed to Ecology. The Progress Reports shall include
the following:
a. A list of on-site activities that have taken place during the quarter;
b. Detailed description of any deviations from required tasks not otherwise
documented in project plans or amendment requests;
c. Description of all deviations from the Scope of Work and Schedule (Exhibit B)

B. All plans or other deliverables submitted by the City for Ecology's review and
approval under the Scope of Work and Schedule (Exhibit B) shall, upon Ecology's approval,
become integral and enforceable parts of this Order.
C. If the Parties agree on an additional interim action under Section VI.E, the City
shall prepare and submit to Ecology an Additional Interim Action Work Plan, including a scope
of work and schedule, by the date determined by Ecology. Ecology will provide public notice and
opportunity to comment on the Additional Interim Action Work Plan in accordance with WAC
173-340-600(16). The City shall not conduct the additional interim action(s) until Ecology
approves the Additional Interim Action Work Plan. Upon approval by Ecology, the Additional
Interim Action Work Plan becomes an integral and enforceable part of this Order, and the City are
required to conduct the additional interim action(s) in accordance with the approved Interim
Action Work Plan.
D. If Ecology determines that the City have failed to make sufficient progress or failed
to implement the remedial action, in whole or in part, Ecology may, after notice to the City,
perform any or all portions of the remedial action or at Ecology's discretion, allow the City
opportunity to correct. The City shall reimburse Ecology for the costs of doing such work in
accordance with Section VIII.A (Remedial Action Costs). Ecology reserves the right to enforce
requirements of this Order under Section X (Enforcement).
E. Except where necessary to abate an emergency situation,the City shall not perform
any remedial actions at the Site outside those remedial actions required by this Order, unless
Ecology concurs, in writing, with such additional remedial actions.

agree to expedite,to the extent possible, the dispute resolution process whenever it is used.
3. Implementation of these dispute resolution procedures shall not provide a basis for
delay of any activities required in this Order, unless Ecology agrees in writing to a schedule
extension.
4. In case of a dispute, failure to either proceed with the work required by this Order
or timely invoke dispute resolution may result in Ecology's determination that insufficient
progress is being made in preparation of a deliverable, and may result in Ecology undertaking the
work under Section VII.E (Work to be Performed) or initiating enforcement under Section X
(Enforcement).
L Extension of Schedule
1. The City request for an extension of schedule shall be granted only when a request
for an extension is submitted in a timely fashion, generally at least thirty (30) days prior to
expiration of the deadline for which the extension is requested, and good cause exists for granting
the extension. All extensions shall be requested in writing. The request shall specify:
a. The deadline that is sought to be extended;
b. The length of the extension sought;
c. The reason(s)for the extension; and
d. Any related deadline or schedule that would be affected if the extension
were granted.
2. The burden shall be on the City to demonstrate to the satisfaction of Ecology that
the request for such extension has been submitted in a timely fashion and that good cause exists
for granting the extension. Good cause may include, but may not be limited to:
17
Agreed Order No. DE
Page 14 of 20
a. Circumstances beyond the reasonable control and despite the due diligence
of the City including delays caused by unrelated third parties or Ecology, such as (but not
limited to) delays by Ecology in reviewing, approving, or modifying documents submitted
by the City;
b. Acts of God, including fire,flood,blizzard, extreme temperatures, storm, or
other unavoidable casualty; or
c. Endangerment as described in Section VIII.K (Endangerment).
However, neither increased costs of performance of the terms of this Order nor changed economic
circumstances shall be considered circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the City.
3. Ecology shall act upon any City' written request for extension in a timely fashion.
Ecology shall give the City written notification of any extensions granted pursuant to this Order.
A requested extension shall not be effective until approved by Ecology. Unless the extension is a
substantial change, it shall not be necessary to amend this Order pursuant to Section VIII.J
(Amendment of Order) when a schedule extension is granted.
4. At the City' request, an extension shall only be granted for such period of time as
Ecology determines is reasonable under the circumstances. Ecology may grant schedule extensions
exceeding ninety (90) days only as a result of
a. Delays in the issuance of a necessary permit which was applied for in a
timely manner;
b. Other circumstances deemed exceptional or extraordinary by Ecology; or
c. Endangerment as described in Section VIII.K (Endangerment).
J. Amendment of Order
The project coordinators may verbally agree to minor changes to the work to be performed
without formally amending this Order. Minor changes will be documented in writing by Ecology
within seven (7) days of verbal agreement.
Except as provided in Section VIII.L (Reservation of Rights), substantial changes to the
work to be performed shall require formal amendment of this Order. This Order may only be
18
Agreed Order No. DE
Page 15 of 20
formally amended by the written consent of both Ecology and the City. Ecology will provide its
written consent to a formal amendment only after public notice and opportunity to comment on
the formal amendment.
When requesting a change to the Order, the City shall submit a written request to Ecology
for approval. Ecology shall indicate its approval or disapproval in writing and in a timely manner
after the written request is received. If Ecology determines that the change is substantial, then the
Order must be formally amended. Reasons for the disapproval of a proposed change to this Order
shall be stated in writing. If Ecology does not agree to a proposed change, the disagreement may
be addressed through the dispute resolution procedures described in Section VIII.H (Resolution of
Disputes).
K. Endangerment
In the event Ecology determines that any activity being performed at the Site under this
Order is creating or has the potential to create a danger to human health or the environment on or
surrounding the Site, Ecology may direct the City to cease such activities for such period of time
as it deems necessary to abate the danger. The City shall immediately comply with such direction.
In the event the City determines that any activity being performed at the Site under this
Order is creating or has the potential to create a danger to human health or the environment, The
City may cease such activities. The City shall notify Ecology's project coordinator as soon as
possible, but no later than twenty-four(24)hours after making such determination or ceasing such
activities. Upon Ecology's direction, the City shall provide Ecology with documentation of the
basis for the determination or cessation of such activities. If Ecology disagrees with the City'
cessation of activities, it may direct the City to resume such activities.
If Ecology concurs with or orders a work stoppage pursuant to this section, the City'
obligations with respect to the ceased activities shall be suspended until Ecology determines the
danger is abated, and the time for performance of such activities, as well as the time for any other
work dependent upon such activities, shall be extended in accordance with Section VIII.I

(Extension of Schedule) for such period of time as Ecology determines is reasonable under the
circumstances.
Nothing in this Order shall limit the authority of Ecology, its employees, agents, or
contractors to take or require appropriate action in the event of an emergency.
L. Reservation of Rights
This Order is not a settlement under RCW 70.105D. Ecology's signature on this Order in
no way constitutes a covenant not to sue or a compromise of any of Ecology's rights or authority.
Ecology will not, however, bring an action against the City to recover remedial action costs paid
to and received by Ecology under this Order. In addition, Ecology will not take additional
enforcement actions against the City regarding remedial actions required by this Order, provided
the City comply with this Order.
Ecology nevertheless reserves its rights under RCW 70.105D, including the right to require
additional or different remedial actions at the Site should it deem such actions necessary to protect
human health or the environment, and to issue orders requiring such remedial actions. Ecology
also reserves all rights regarding the injury to, destruction of, or loss of natural resources resulting
from the release or threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site.
By entering into this Order, the City does not admit to any liability for the Site. Although
the City are committing to conducting the work required by this Order under the terms of this
Order, the City expressly reserve all rights available under law, including but not limited to the
right to seek cost recovery or contribution against third parties, and the right to assert any defenses
to liability in the event of enforcement.
M. Transfer of Interest in Property
No voluntary conveyance or relinquishment of title, easement, leasehold, or other interest
in any portion of the Site shall be consummated by the City without provision for continued
implementation of all requirements of this Order and implementation of any remedial actions
found to be necessary as a result of this Order.
20
Agreed Order No. DE
Page 17 of 20
Prior to the City transfer of any interest in all or any portion of the Site, and during the
effective period of this Order, the City shall provide a copy of this Order to any prospective
purchaser, lessee, transferee, assignee, or other successor in said interest; and, at least thirty (30)
days prior to any transfer, the City shall notify Ecology of said transfer. Upon transfer of any
interest, the City shall notify all transferees of the restrictions on the activities and uses of the
property under this Order and incorporate any such use restrictions into the transfer documents.
N. Compliance with Applicable Laws
1. All actions carried out by the City pursuant to this Order shall be done in accordance
with all applicable federal, state, and local requirements, including requirements to obtain
necessary permits or approvals, except as provided in RCW 70.105D.090. At this time, no federal,
state, or local requirements have been identified as being applicable to the actions required by this
Order. The City have a continuing obligation to identify additional applicable federal, state, and
local requirements which apply to actions carried out pursuant to this Order, and to comply with
those requirements. As additional federal, state, and local requirements are identified by Ecology
or the City, Ecology will document in writing if they are applicable to actions carried out pursuant
to this Order, and the City must implement those requirements.
2. All actions carried out by the City pursuant to this Order shall be done in accordance
with relevant and appropriate requirements identified by Ecology. At this time, no relevant and
appropriate requirements have been identified as being applicable to the actions required by this
Order. If additional relevant and appropriate requirements are identified by Ecology or the City,
Ecology will document in writing if they are applicable to actions carried out pursuant to this Order
and the City must implement those requirements.
3. Pursuant to RCW 70.105D.090(1), the City may be exempt from the procedural
requirements of RCW 70.94, 70.95, 70.105, 77.55, 90.48, and 90.58 and of any laws requiring or
authorizing local government permits or approvals. However, the City shall comply with the
substantive requirements of such permits or approvals. For permits and approvals covered under
RCW 70.105D.090(1) that have been issued by local government, the Parties agree that Ecology
21
Agreed Order No. DE
Page 18 of 20
has the non-exclusive ability under this Order to enforce those local government permits and/or
approvals. At this time, no state or local permits or approvals have been identified as being
applicable but procedurally exempt under this section.
4. The City have a continuing obligation to determine whether additional permits or
approvals addressed in RCW 70.105D.090(1)would otherwise be required for the remedial action
under this Order. In the event either Ecology or the City determine that additional permits or
approvals addressed in RCW 70.105D.090(1)would otherwise be required for the remedial action
under this Order, it shall promptly notify the other party of its determination. Ecology shall
determine whether Ecology or the City shall be responsible to contact the appropriate state and/or
local agencies. If Ecology so requires, the City shall promptly consult with the appropriate state
and/or local agencies and provide Ecology with written documentation from those agencies of the
substantive requirements those agencies believe are applicable to the remedial action. Ecology
shall make the final determination on the additional substantive requirements that must be met by
the City and on how the City must meet those requirements. Ecology shall inform the City in
writing of these requirements. Once established by Ecology, the additional requirements shall be
enforceable requirements of this Order. The City shall not begin or continue the remedial action
potentially subject to the additional requirements until Ecology makes its final determination.
Pursuant to RCW 70.105D.090(2), in the event Ecology determines that the exemption
from complying with the procedural requirements of the laws referenced in RCW 70.105D.090(1)
would result in the loss of approval from a federal agency that is necessary for the state to
administer any federal law, the exemption shall not apply and the City shall comply with both the
procedural and substantive requirements of the laws referenced in RCW 70.105D.090(1),
including any requirements to obtain permits or approvals.

EXHIBIT B -SCOPE OF WORK (SOW) AND SCHEDULE
SCOPE OF WORK
PURPOSE
The work required under this Agreed Order (AO) is to address remaining gasoline-related
contamination in soil and groundwater at 1808 N 1st Street. A release of gasoline from an
underground storage tank (UST) system was first identified in 1982. Since that time,
various investigations and remedial actions have taken place including pumping to remove
free product in 1982 and 1983. An assessment of the extent of groundwater contamination
was performed by the U.S. Geological Survey(U.S.G.S.)in 1991. The USTs were removed
in 2005. The extent of soil and groundwater contamination was reassessed in 2017. The
2017 study showed that while soil and groundwater contamination concentrations remain
above MTCA Method A cleanup levels, the extent of contamination is much smaller than
the extent of contamination delineated in 1991.
Gasoline contamination in the subsurface tends to naturally degrade provided electron
acceptors (e.g. oxygen) are present to support natural biodegradation. The reduction in the
extent of contamination between 1991 and 2017 is believed to be due to natural attenuation.
The 2017 investigations demonstrated that the groundwater system is aerobic at a distance
from the area of contamination. Gasoline in the subsurface typically degrades in the
presence of free oxygen. In the core area of the remaining contamination, free oxygen has
been depleted and the groundwater system is anaerobic. Therefore, the proposed interim
action involves the injection of oxygen, an oxidizing agent, or air into the subsurface to
allow the remaining gasoline in soil and groundwater to degrade.
The property is under a Lease-to-Own agreement between the City and a Lessee. The work
described herein will be done on behalf of the City,but will need to be done in consultation
with the Lessee. This includes coordinating locations and periods of work with the Lessee
to minimize adverse impacts to the Lessee's operations.
Three tasks have been developed under this Agreed Order Scope of Work:
• Task 1 —UST& Contaminated Soil Removals
• Task 2—Monitoring Well Replacements
• Task 3 —Interim Action
Cleanup at the Site under this Agreed Order is proposed as an Interim Action. An Interim
Action is a cleanup action under the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) that can be
performed at any time, and potentially result in a final cleanup action. This would eliminate
the need for preparation a Feasibility Study (FS) and Corrective Action Plan (CAP). An
Interim Action will allow the City to address remaining contamination at the Site with the
Page 1 of 8
26
Exhibit B Scope of Work and Schedule
goal of achieving MTCA cleanup levels to allow for a No Further Action (NFA)
determination.
Task 1 —UST & Contaminated Soil Removals
Two underground storage tanks (USTs) were found during site preparation work; a waste
oil UST and a heating oil UST. Four fueling USTs had previously been removed in 2005.
The two USTs were removed on October 14, 2019 and soil samples were collected from
the floor and sidewalls of the excavations. Heavy oil was found above cleanup levels in
one soil sample collected adjacent to the waste oil tank,and diesel was found above cleanup
levels in one soil sample collected adjacent to the heating oil tank. The contaminated soil
will need to be excavated and properly disposed of prior to Ecology issuing a No Further
Action (NFA) determination for the site. Previously incurred work for the UST removals
and contaminated soil excavation and offsite disposal in 2019 shall be considered part of
this task.
Task 2 — Monitoring Well Replacements
Subsequent to the Remedial Investigation Report dated May 22, 2017, several monitoring
wells were apparently destroyed. In order to perform the Interim Action and associated
monitoring under Task 3, several monitoring wells need to be replaced. Ecology will
determine the number, locations, and completions of the replacement monitoring wells, in
consultation with the property Lessee. Consistent with the existing monitoring wells, the
replacement monitoring wells shall be constructed with 2-inch PVC well pipe and screen,
with 0.010 slot screens from 10 to 20 feet below ground surface (ft bgs). The monitoring
wells shall be completed with flush-mount vaults and locking well caps.
All wastes, including drill cuttings and well development water, shall be properly disposed
of The wells will be installed by licensed well driller, and the wells registered with
Ecology.
Task 3 — Groundwater Interim Action
Interim Action Approach
Oxygen, oxidizing agent, or air will be delivered to the subsurface through the installation
of temporary injection points. The injection points will be spaced approximately 20 feet
apart. A total of 24 injection points are anticipated.
The injection points are anticipated to be installed via direct push(e.g. Geoprobe)methods.
A high hammer weight direct push rig (Geoprobe Model 3230 or equivalent) will be
needed. A well construction variance potentially could be needed to comply with WAC-
173-160. If needed, Ecology Toxics Cleanup Program (TCP) will support a variance
application with Ecology Water Resources Program. The following discussion regards the
anticipated construction methods for the injection points.
Page 2 of 8
27
Exhibit B Scope of Work and Schedule
The probe rod will be driven until refusal is reached or a total depth of 20 ft bgs,whichever
is shallower. Nominal 1-inch diameter, Schedule 40 well screen and blank pipe will be
lowered within the probe rod to the bottom of the road. The bottom of the well point will
consist of one foot length of 0.010 inch slotted PVC with end cap. The well slotted interval
will be placed a minimum of three feet below the seasonal low water level, estimated to be
14 ft bgs.
After the PVC well point has been lowered inside the probe rod, the rod will be retracted,
allowing the disposable probe tip to fall out of the probe rod, leaving the PVC pipe in place.
The probe rods will then be removed from the ground, and the upper one to two feet of the
PVC pipe annular space sealed with hydrated granular bentonite. A 3-inch to 5-inch
diameter temporary vault will be installed to protect the tubing at the surface.
After all of the injection points have been installed, pressurized oxygen tanks will be
acquired, and affixed to the PVC well point using an adaptor and polyethylene tubing along
with a pressure gauge. The oxygen will be discharged into the well point at a low rate until
either the targeted pressure/volume is reached or the tank is empty. The oxygen will bubble
up through the groundwater adjacent to the injection point and either dissolve within the
groundwater or migrate upward until it reaches the unsaturated zone,where it will disperse
and diffuse radially. The portion of the oxygen that dissolves will disperse laterally within
the groundwater, enhancing biodegradation. The portion that reaches the vadose zone is
anticipated to enhance biodegradation of vadose zone contamination, as well as at the water
table interface.
The rate of injection should be designed to optimize oxygen delivery to the saturate zone
(a low flow rate). The added oxygen is expected to significantly accelerate the rate of
biodegradation of the remaining gasoline,both within the saturated zone as dissolved phase
or adsorbed phase contamination, and within the vadose zone.
There is some uncertainty regarding whether or not the initial injection will result in
achievement of targeted cleanup levels. If the injected oxygen does not result in achieving
targeted cleanup levels within the desired time span, then additional injection of either
oxygen, an oxidizing agent, or air will follow. The steps of the remedial approach and
schedule constraints are summarized in Table 1.

monitoring rounds are anticipated prior to proceeding to Step 8.
The City shall coordinate with Ecology throughout the development of the Interim Action
and shall keep Ecology informed of changes to any Work Plan or other project plans, and
of any issues or problems as they develop.
