The current focus of City efforts related to the project is engaging and commencing landfill remediation activities. This Study Session will address the time sensitive issues and required action steps. 1. Summary of Landfill Alternatives The estimated volume of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the former Yakima landfill is approximately 440,000 cubic yards of material, which is located at an average of 5 to 7 feet below the ground, and covered with a combination of wood waste and silt. Redevelopment options for the site are largely dependent upon the extent and treatment of MSW. A range of options have been reviewed and will be included in the analysis the city submits to Department of Ecology (DOE). Some of the core working assumptions for landfill clean-up activities include: a. Funds from Department of Ecology through the Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) program will be the primary means of financing the landfill cleanup. The extent of available funds is not entirely known at this time. DOE staff have expressed strong support for this project b. MSW will be removed from the alignment of new streets (Cascade Mill Parkway and East-West Corridor), as well as the ramps and Collector -Distributor of I-82 Interchange. c. Areas where MSW are not completely removed will continue to require monitoring as well as City supervision and potential liability. d. Prior to any remediation of the MSW, the wood debris on top of the landfill must be removed. Wood waste is not considered "hazardous" by DOE, but removal of wood waste will require DOE over -sight due to proximity of the MSW. Landfill Remediation Alternatives have been illustrated in Figures prepared by SLR International. On these Figures the areas available for redevelopment have been estimated and shown with a blue outline. These redevelopment areas do not reflect the land that will be dedicated to street and freeway ramp right of way. These Alternatives represent the full range of alternatives the City of Yakima will present to Department of Ecology. Actual implementation of these options as described in this memo, are generalized. As the City proceeds through the process of review of alternatives with the Department of Ecology, modifications may be evident and the final treatment may be a hybrid of these concepts. Alternative 1: Limited MSW removal. Surface cap, with monitoring — This option would remove only the MSW under the footprint of streets and highway ramps, as well as the 4 acres that occur on the "Plywood Plant" parcel. The majority of the MSW would be covered with an impermeable cap and left in place. Development options would be somewhat limited by this alternative to more passive uses or uses that do not pierce the cap, such as parking lots. This option was proposed when a soccer park was under consideration as the primary use of the landfill site. This option allows for 27.6 acres for passive development. Estimated cost to implement this remediation option is $7,240,000. Pros • Least expensive alternative • Easiest to implement • Eliminates current City liability associated with MSW beyond the Parcel 191318- 41001 (landfill parcel) property lines Cons • Within the landfill parcel, MSW is only removed under planned roadways; therefore, the greatest area of MSW (contaminant source) will remain • Least effective at remediating the contaminants of concern (methane in soil gas and nitrate in groundwater) • City's liability for large area of contamination will extend for long period of time (at least 30 years) • Presence of a large area of MSW reduces future property value • Due to limited effectiveness, Alternative 1 is not likely to be approved by Department of Ecology (Ecology) Alternative 2: Partial MSW removal, Perimeter berm, monitor groundwater for Nitrates This option would excavate MSW (approximately 280,000 c.y.) from a portion of the landfill, and backfill 245,000 c.y. of MSW in a berm. Approximately 35,000 c.y. of MSW would need to relocated off-site. Groundwater monitoring would be for Nitrates only. The average height of the berm would range between 3 and 7.7 feet. The area covered by the berm is estimated at 11.2 acres. The area available for development, without MSW is estimated at 19.6 acres. Cost to implement this alternative is estimated at $12,200,000. Pros • Eliminates current City liability associated with MSW beyond the landfill parcel property lines • MSW will be removed from southwestern and south-central parts of landfill parcel, which will result in large areas without MSW that could be sold and developed (particularly if the planned southern roundabout is moved closer to the southern property line and the east -west roads from that roundabout are narrower than currently designed) • Nitrate -impacted groundwater will be effectively remediated by natural attenuation Cons • Alternatives 2, 3a and 3b are the most difficult alternatives to implement • Two large areas of remaining MSW will be capped, which will contain but not eliminate the City's liability associated with the MSW in those areas • To reduce the high cost of off-site disposal of MSW, a large volume of the excavated MSW will be backfilled in constructed bermed areas and then capped. The heights of the berms will range from 3 to 71/2 feet, which will limit the future use of those areas. • Groundwater remediation will take up to 10 years to complete • High cost, but significantly less than cost of Alternative 4 Alternative 3A: Partial MSW removal, MSW Perimeter Berm, groundwater treatment This alternative is identical to Alternative 2, except a passive treatment is installed at the southern edge of the property line for groundwater treatment of Nitrates. These two options are included as environmental alternatives. The average height of the berm would range between 3 and 7.7 feet. The area covered by the berm is estimated at 11.2 acres. The area available for development, without MSW is estimated at 19.6 acres. Cost to implement this alternative is estimated at $12,300,000. Pros • Eliminates current City liability associated with MSW beyond the landfill parcel property lines • MSW will be removed from southwestern and south-central parts of landfill parcel, which will result in large areas without MSW that could be sold and developed (particularly if the planned southern roundabout is moved closer to the southern property line and the east -west roads from that roundabout are narrower than currently designed) • Nitrate -impacted groundwater will be remediated by passive de -nitrification and by natural attenuation. The nitrate remediation will take approximately 5 years less than Alternative 2. • Similar cost to Alternative 2, but it includes a more aggressive remedial approach for the nitrate -impacted groundwater. Ecology has previously expressed that they would prefer the additional groundwater remediation component of Alternative 3. Cons • Alternatives 2, 3a and 3b are the most difficult alternatives to implement • Two large areas of remaining MSW will be capped, which will contain but not eliminate the City's liability associated with the MSW in those areas • To reduce the high cost of off-site disposal of MSW, a large volume of the excavated MSW will be backfilled in constructed bermed areas and then capped. The heights of the berms will range from 3 to 71/2 feet, which will limit the future use of those areas. • High cost, but significantly less than cost of Alternative 4 Alternative 3B: Partial MSW removal, Backfill embankment with MSW This option includes the excavation of 350,000c.y. of MSW and the backfilling of approximately 185,000 c.y. excavated MSW at locations beneath and within two embankment berms. The berms would extend beyond the shoulders of the planned east -west roadway and the shoulders of the planned western on-ramp and off -ramp of I-82. The surface of the northern embankment would have a 1:8 slope. Portions of the berms would be on WSDOT property and they would have to approve the backfilling of MSW onto their right of way. This option would provide 24.1 acres for redevelopment without MSW. Estimated cost is approximately $19,300,000. Pros: • Provides a larger area for redevelopment • Eliminates current City liability associated with MSW beyond the landfill parcel property lines • MSW will be removed from southwestern and south-central parts of landfill parcel, which will result in large areas without MSW that could be sold and developed (particularly if the planned southern roundabout is moved closer to the southern property line and the east -west roads from that roundabout are narrower than currently designed) • Nitrate -impacted groundwater will be remediated by passive de -nitrification and by natural attenuation. The nitrate remediation will take approximately 5 years less than Alternative 2. Cons: • WSDOT would need to approve this concept and the actual design • City responsibility for MSW in the WSDOT right of way would likely be required • High cost to implement • Areas of remaining MSW will be capped, which will contain but not eliminate the City's liability associated with the MSW in those areas Alternative 4: Extensive MSW Removal This option involves the removal of most of the MSW from the landfill, relocation of the MSW to an approved location and backfilling with clean fill material. A partnership with Yakima County related to the relocation of MSW to one of the County landfills will be a critical component to cost control on this alternative. This option would provide 27.6 acres for redevelopment without MSW. Estimated cost is approximately $27,000,000 Pros • Eliminates current City liability associated with MSW beyond the landfill parcel property lines • MSW will be removed from the entire landfill parcel, except for an area at the northern end of the parcel. After the remedial action, almost all of the property could be sold and developed. • The source of the nitrate -impacted groundwater would be removed Cons • Very high cost • Difficult to implement • The area of remaining MSW will be capped, which will contain but not eliminate the City's liability associated with the MSW in that area Summary of Estimated Costs Closed City of Yakima Municipal Landfill Yakima, Washington Remedial Alternatives Capital Cost Monitoring and Maintenance Cost Total Estimated Cost Alternative 1 - Limited MSW Removal, and Groundwater and Combustible Gas Monitoring $7,000,000 $240,000 $7,240,000 Partial MSW Removal, Surface Capping Over Alternative 2 - Mounded Berms, and Perimeter Barrier Wall with Passive Venting $11,800,000 $400,000 $12,200,000 Partial MSW Removal, Surface Capping Over Alternative 3a - Mounded Berms, Perimeter Barrier Wall with Passive Venting, and In -Situ Groundwater Treatment $11,900,000 $400,000 $12,300,000 Partial MSW Removal, Surface Capping Over Alternative 3b - Embankment Berms, Perimeter Barrier Wall with Passive Venting, and In -Situ Groundwater Treatment $18,700,000 $600,000 $19,300,000 Extensive MSW Removal with Limited Surface Alternative 4 - Capping and Perimeter Barrier Wall with Passive Venting $26,600,000 $380,000 $27,000,000 2. Department of Ecology Voluntary Clean-up Program (VCP) The City of Yakima, as a future property owner of the landfill area, proposes to submit to the Department of Ecology (DOE) a Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) Agreement. The VCP provides a process for informal review and comment by DOE of site specific technical remedial actions under consideration by the City of Yakima related to the landfill. As a result of the VCP Agreement, DOE becomes more of a formal partner with the City of Yakima in the evaluation and selection of the alternative for cleanup. Under the terms of the VCP, the City of Yakima agrees to reimburse DOE for the cost of staff time in providing the site specific technical consultations. These costs are eligible expenses under the LIFT. The VCP is authorized under the Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA), Chapter 70.105D of the RCW. While entering into a VCP does not limit the regulatory authority of DOE, nor does it constitute a settlement of any liability. The VCP Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party. A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a VCP Agreement with Department of Ecology is included for your consideration, as well as the draft VCP Agreement. 3.

Please check all that apply. n Point source (e.g., leaking tank) Non -point source (e.g., contaminated soil used as fill) ❑ Area -wide lead and arsenic soil contamination (see questions below) Fl Other — please specify: n Unknown To the extent known, please describe the source(s) of the release(s): The City of Yakima operated a municipal landfill at the southern part of the sawmill property from 1963 to approximately 1970. Based on the results of recent investigation activities, the municipal solid waste (MSW) in the landfill is the source of nitrate concentrations in groundwater that exceed the cleanup level. The MSW is one of the sources of methane concentrations in soil vapors that exceed the upper explosive limit. Wood waste associated with the former log storage operations on top of the closed landfill is also a source of methane concentrations greater than the upper explosive limit. Attach additional pages if necessary. Circumstances of Release(s). To the extent known, please describe below the circumstances of the release(s). Nitrate is leaching from the MSW in the vadose zone (due to storm water percolation through the waste) as well as the limited MSW below the groundwater table. Methane gas is generated from the buried MSW and wood waste. The nitrate and methane are due to ongoing releases that began over 6 years ago. Attach additional pages if necessary. Circumstances of Release Discovery. To the extent known, please describe below the circumstances of the discovery of the release(s). In 2008, Parametrix conducted a subsurface investigation at the former Boise Cascade sawmill property, including at the closed landfill area. Combustible gas (methane) was detected in soil gas near the landfill at concentrations greater than the upper explosive limit. Iron and manganese concentrations in the groundwater near the landfill exceeded the secondary MCLs; however, subsequent investigations showed that the metals were due to sources upgradient of the landfill.
