The Department of Ecology issued an Amended Consent Decree and SEPA process on July 2, 2014 to re-initiate clean up activities. Previous clean up orders were never completed by the property owners. In order to implement environmental cleanup activity and enable redevelopment, the City of Yakima purchased the abandoned, dilapidated former Tiger Oil properties in April of 2014. Purchase price for the four properties was $1.2 million, which included over $300,000 in insurance funds for cleanup. The former Tiger Oil Convenience Store and Gas Sales facility at 2312 West Nob Hill Boulevard was constructed in 1978. The site is zoned B-2, Local Business and consists of a 22,823 square foot parcel (0.52 acres) with a vacant 2,400 square foot wooden frame convenience store in poor condition, as well as concrete pads and kiosk from the former gasoline pump islands. The entire site is paved with asphalt. A pole sign with no sign face was removed from the property. The City of Yakima has applied for a Remedial Action Grant for $500,000 to fund clean up activities Resolution: Other (Specify): Contract: Contract Term: Start Date: End Date: Amount: $500,000 Ordinance: Item Budgeted: Yes Funding Source/Fiscal Impact: Remedial Action Grant from DOE Strategic Priority: Insurance Required?

Site Background From 1982 to1984, approximately 20,000 gallons of petroleum product leaked from the underground storage tank system at the retail petroleum station. The petroleum has contaminated the soil and groundwater both at the Site and on adjacent properties. Tiger Oil Corporation purchased the station in October 1987. The leaking tanks have since been removed, and 700 tons of contaminated soil was transported off-site. An interim remediation system, consisting of a groundwater and soil vapor extraction (SVE) system was operated from 1995 through 2006 to reduce the level of soil and groundwater contamination and to prevent Comments Accepted July 2, 2014 through August 1, 2014 Submit Comments and Technical Questions to: Norm Peck - Site Manager WA Department of Ecology Toxics Cleanup Program 15 W Yakima Avenue, Ste 200 Yakima, WA 98902-3452 Phone: (509) 454-7837 E-mail: Norm.Peck@ecy.wa.gov DOCUMENT REVIEW LOCATIONS Yakima Valley Regional Library 102 N 3rd Street Yakima WA 98902 Phone: (509) 452-8541 Hours: Monday - Wednesday: 9 am — 9 pm Thursday - Friday: 9 am — 6 pm Saturday: 10 am — 6 pm Sunday: 12 pm — 4 pm WA Department of Ecology Central Regional Office 15 W Yakima Avenue, Ste 200 Yakima, WA 98902 By appointment only: Contact CRO Public Records Coordinator at cropublicrequest@ecy.wa.gov or (509) 454-7658 Ecology's Toxics Cleanup Website https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/gsp/Sitepa ge.aspx?csid=4919 Facility/Site ID #: 469 Cleanup Site ID #: 4919 Publication Number: 14-09-008 1 Tiger Oil 24th Ave & W Nob Hill Blvd contamination from moving onto adjacent properties. Unfortunately, that system failed. Cleanup actions initiated by Tiger have been stalled by litigation. However, with the City's purchase of this property, cleanup can begin once again. Cleanup Action Plan Ecology and the City have developed a Cleanup Action Plan to address the contamination. Plans include removal of contaminated soil, bioremediation efforts for soil and groundwater, soil vapor controls, and continual groundwater monitoring. The need for further cleanup work will be assessed following contaminated soil removal. Why This Cleanup Matters Petroleum contains many chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment, including benzene, a known carcinogen, as well as toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes.
