Introduction

The Lower Duwamish Waterway (LDW) is an approximately 5.5-mile waterway
located in Seattle, Washington. In 2001, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
added the heavily used industrial waterway to the nation’s Superfund list.
Contaminants identified in the waterway’s sediments that led to its listing include
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), various
metals, and phthalates. These identified contaminants may threaten both humans and
wildlife.
The Port of Seattle’s (Port) Terminal 108 property (T-108) is located on the eastern shore
of the LDW, just upstream of Harbor Island (Map 1). T-108 has been owned by or leased
to various entities during its history of industrial and commercial use. For the purposes
of this report, T-108 will be referred to as the subject property. During the course of
recent investigations on the waterway, the subject property, along with neighboring
properties, has been identified as a property of potential interest for source control with
respect to the LDW.
In support of these ongoing investigation efforts, the Port is developing independently
a source control strategy for the terminal property. To help develop and focus the
strategy on potential source control issues at the subject property, the Port is preparing
this comprehensive Environmental Conditions Report detailing property-specific
investigation information along with the operational history and development of the
property over the course of the last hundred years. This report’s conclusions and
recommendations will assist in the development of a source control strategy for the
subject property, to be discussed in future documentation.

1.1

PROJECT BACKGROUND

In December 2000, EPA and the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology)
entered into an Agreed Order on Consent with King County (County), the Port, the City
of Seattle (City), and The Boeing Company (Boeing). The purpose of the order was for
the completion of a remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) to address the
waterway’s sediment contamination. Subsequent to signing of the agreement, the
County, the City, the Port, and Boeing formed the Lower Duwamish Waterway Group
(LDWG) to manage and coordinate the ongoing investigation and remediation strategy
efforts.

FINAL

Preventing recontamination to levels that exceed the Washington State Sediment
Management Standards (SMS) (per Washington Administrative Code [WAC] 173-204)
and the LDW sediment cleanup goals is the ultimate focus of Ecology’s source control
strategy. The LDW source control program, under Ecology’s lead, is designed to
identify and manage sources of contamination to LDW sediments in coordination with
sediment remediation activities. This program provides the framework for identifying
source control issues and implementing effective controls, potentially including various
levels of remedial action. To support this effort, Ecology is preparing source control
action plans and data gaps analysis reports to establish current environmental
conditions and evaluate historical and ongoing sources of contamination.
In 2003, seven candidate sediment sites for early action (subsequently referred to as
early action areas [EAAs]) were identified in the LDW. One of the recommended EAAs,
EAA 1, includes the adjacent Duwamish/Diagonal combined sewer overflow (CSO)
and storm drain (SD) area on the east side of the LDW at the end of the Oregon Street
right-of-way (ROW). The subject property borders these outfall locations to the south
and directly abuts EAA 1.
In December 2004, Ecology published a Source Control Action Plan (SCAP) for the
Duwamish/Diagonal Way Early Action Cleanup Area (EAA 1) which strategized the
approach to ongoing evaluation and control of sources of contamination to the
sediment area. In that strategy document, the subject property was included as a
property of potential concern relative to identified sediment contamination associated
with EAA 1 (Ecology 2004). In June 2008, Ecology published several property reviews
for individual properties of potential concern relative to EAA 1, including T-108, T-106
West (T-106W), T-106 Northwest (T-106NW), T-106 East (T-106E), and Federal Center
South. Relevant information from Ecology’s property reviews is included in the
subsequent sections of this report.
Ecology has requested that the Port provide documentation of the subject property’s
environmental conditions and develop a long-term Source Control Strategy Plan
(SCSP). The SCSP will be implemented and managed on a independent basis. Work to
be performed at the site, including any potential remedial activities or engineered
mitigation measures, will be managed as outlined under the Model Toxics Control Act
(MTCA), the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements,
and other established regulations.
This Environmental Conditions Report will help establish the basis for the
development, implementation, and management of the SCSPs for the subject property.
The SCSPs will take into consideration current operations and the recommendations of
this report. The SCSPs will also consider remedial action alternatives, if appropriate,
based on the conclusions of the environmental conditions documentation and the
approaches deemed to be most effective for the potential issues at the subject property.
Any remedial action at the subject property will be completed as an independent

remedial action in accordance with Ecology's MTCA. However, the Port acknowledges
that Ecology may consider an Agreed Order for the subject property in the future.

Site Description

T-108 is located at 4525 Diagonal Avenue S in Seattle, Washington (Map 2). It is owned
by the Port of Seattle and currently leased to ConGlobal Industries (ConGlobal), an
international company that operates container and chassis depots. T-108 is located on
the LDW which bounds the property to the west. It is bounded to the east by a King
County pumping station and E Marginal Way S, to the west by the LDW, to the south
by Diagonal Avenue S and the Federal Center South facility, and to the north by the
Oregon Street ROW, Terminal 106 W (T-106W), and the Washington State Liquor
Control Board (WSLCB) facility.

2.1

GENERAL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

T-108 currently consists of two parcels totaling approximately 20 acres. The Western
Parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number [APN] 7666700510) is approximately 9 acres in size,
and the Eastern Parcel (APN 7666700515) is approximately 11 acres in size (King
County 2008). Currently, ConGlobal leases both parcels of the subject property: the
Eastern Parcel is used as a container storage facility and truck chassis storage and repair
area, and the Western Parcel is used as a chassis lay-down area.

FINAL

T-108 has been used by several parties for a variety of purposes since its development in
the early 20th century. Detailed information on the subject property’s ownership and
operational history is discussed in Section 3.0. A timeline that provides a visual
presentation of the property’s ownership, operation, and environmental-related
investigation history is also provided in Section 3.0.
Brief highlights of the ownership history of the T-108 property include:
•

Diagonal Avenue S sewage treatment plant (STP) – Operated by the City of
Seattle from 1938 to 1962 and then by King County Metro from 1962 to 1969 in
the central portion of T-108 Eastern Parcel.

•

Chiyoda Corporation International (Chiyoda) owned the property in the
mid-1970s; EPA and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) controlled the
property for a portion of the Chiyoda ownership period.

•

In the early 1980s, the T-108 property was subdivided for the first time when the
Port acquired the property; the Port maintained ownership of the Western Parcel
and sold the Eastern Parcel to Chevron in approximately 1984. The Port
subsequently repurchased the Eastern Parcel in 1992.

•

The Lafarge Cement Company leased the Western Parcel from 1989 to 1998;
Lafarge constructed and operated a bulk cement terminal on the property.

•

In the mid-1990s, the Eastern Parcel was redeveloped for use as a container
storage and transfer yard by Container Care International (CCI). CCI is a
predecessor to ConGlobal Industries.

Presently the majority of T-108 is operated as a container storage facility by ConGlobal
Industries. The primary container storage area is located on the Eastern Parcel of the
property, and portions of the Western Parcel are used for chassis lay-down and storage.
A Port of Seattle public access and habitat mitigation area is located along the southern
shoreline of the Western Parcel, adjacent to the LDW. The park area is one of
approximately 12 habitat mitigation areas along the LDW shoreline, and public access
to the site is provided in accordance with the Port’s public access plan (Port of Seattle
1985a). Select photographs of the subject property used as reference for the following
sections are included in Appendix A. Appendix B includes copies of historical aerial
photographs of the immediate vicinity of the T-108 that were used as a resource for this
discussion.

2.2

PHYSICAL AND ECOLOGICAL FEATURES

T-108 is located in what was once a tidal marsh area associated with the Duwamish
River delta. Much of this marsh area was filled in the early 1900s during engineering of
the LDW. The present topography of the site is generally flat with gradual slopes
downward to the east and northwest, away from the central part of the site (Port of

Seattle 1992a). The average ground surface elevation is approximately 19 feet mean
lower low water (MLLW).
The majority of the container yard on the Eastern Parcel of T-108 is paved, however
some portions are covered with gravel (Map 2). The southern half of the Western Parcel
of T-108 is paved or covered with gravel. The paved and graveled areas on the Western
Parcel were formerly used as part of the Lafarge bulk cement terminal and as a parking
lot associated with the Diagonal Avenue S STP (discussed in Section 3.5). Currently, a
thick layer of soil covers much of the paved/graveled portion of this parcel, and
ConGlobal uses some of the area for chassis lay-down and storage (Appendix A,
Photos 5, 7, and 8). The majority of the northern portion of the Western Parcel is
unpaved and is covered with vegetation including grass, low lying shrubs
(predominantly blackberries) and trees (Appendix A, Photo 6).
The T-108 shoreline is approximately 1,200 ft (or 0.23 mi) long. The bank elevation of the
northern and central portions of the shoreline varies from 0 to 10 ft (Port of Seattle
Datum) (Port of Seattle 1993). The bank elevation of the southern portion of the
shoreline, which includes the mitigation area, varies from approximately 4 to 18 ft (Port
of Seattle Datum). The northern and central portions of the T-108 shoreline are armored
with riprap, gravel, and other materials (Appendix A, Photo 15). Along the southcentral portion of the shoreline, to the north of the mitigation area, the shoreline is
partially armored with riprap and a wooden bulkhead which runs parallel to the
shoreline. The bulkhead is not well-anchored and is slanted away from the shoreline
(Appendix A, Photos 12 and 13). Within the park and mitigation area, the T-108
shoreline is primarily unarmored, with the exception of gravel (habitat mix) scattered
along the perimeter (Appendix A, Photo 10).
Two outfalls points are located along the T-108 shoreline boundary. One is an active
storm drain outfall that drains the southern portion of the Western Parcel (Port of
Seattle outfall 2225 on Map 2), located in the vicinity of the wooden bulkhead
(Appendix A, Photo 13). The second is an abandoned outfall formerly associated with
the Diagonal Avenue S STP, located to the north of the active outfall (former Diagonal
Avenue S STP outfall 2002 on Map 2; Appendix A, Photo 14). In addition, a wooden box
frame structure in an extreme state of disrepair was observed in approximately the
middle of the shoreline. The former purpose of this structure is not known.
The intertidal portion of the shoreline (ranging between elevations 5 and -10 MLLW
depending on location along the subject property’s shoreline) is composed
predominately of mudflats that gently incline toward the navigation channel. Debris
including wood, metal, brick, plastic, glass, and wiring is visible in the shoreline banks
and in the mudflat area.
The T-108 public access and habitat mitigation area was constructed in the late 1980s by
excavating the bank shoreline. It is approximately 1 acre in size and includes
approximately 420 ft of shoreline, at an elevation ranging from 8 to 18 ft. A vegetated

buffer surrounds a U-shaped mudflat area that extends into the LDW (Appendix A,
Photos 9 and 10). A buoy line is present along the mouth of the mitigation area to
prevent debris from washing into the site. Vegetation within the public access and
mitigation area is routinely maintained by Port maintenance crews and appears to be
healthy, and the area provides fish and wildlife habitat. The public access area extends
to a public parking area located at the end of Diagonal Avenue S which also includes a
lawn area, picnic tables, a launch for hand-carried boats, and interpretive signage.
Existing trees on the eastern perimeter of the public access area provide visual
screening from the rest of T-108 and E Marginal Way S (Appendix A, Photo 9).

2.3

GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY

The following section provides a brief overview of the subsurface conditions at the
subject property and discusses the basics of the property’s hydrogeological features. A
more detailed discussion is available in the various site investigation reports cited as
reference throughout the section.
2.3.1 Geology
T-108 is located within the Duwamish River valley which was formed approximately
15,000 years ago by the retreat of the glaciers that covered the Puget Sound region
(Booth and Herman 1998). Sediment originating from the Osceola mudflow off Mt.
Rainier as well as other sources from surrounding mountains and hills was carried into
the valley by the ancestral White River over a period of several thousand years.
Between 1913 and 1917, the LDW was created by dredging a channel for the waterway
and filling adjacent floodplain areas. Fill was placed using both mechanical and
hydraulic methods, and consisted primarily of dredge spoils produced during
channelization of the LDW. Fill materials may have included soil and other geologic
materials that were a by-product of other land development projects inland from the
Duwamish River, such as re-grading projects, as well as other waste materials of the
time including refuse. Glacial scouring, natural sedimentation, earthquakes, and human
engineering projects have all influenced the geology of T-108 and surrounding areas.
Numerous subsurface investigations have been completed which have identified the
various hydrogeologic components that comprise the subject property.
A review of soil borings logged during development of monitoring wells on the
property indicate that the shallow hydrostratigraphic units present at T-108 consist of
fill materials underlain by tidal marsh deposits (Pacific Groundwater Group 2007a). The
fill material was reported as a predominantly heterogeneous deposit extending from the
ground surface approximately 10 to 15 feet to the top of the tidal marsh deposits (Pacific
Groundwater Group 2007a; Dames & Moore 1988). The upland fill is described as
brown to black, loose to medium dense, moist to wet, very fine to medium-grained
sand and silty sand (AGI 1992a; Pacific Groundwater Group 2006c). The fill includes
zones of significant organic content, localized cementation, and variations in percentage
of silt and gravel content. During subsurface investigation at the property, the fill was

-

Terminal 108 Environmental
Conditions Report

FINAL

January 23, 2009
Page 9

usually identified by the presence of significant volumes of sand and anthropogenic
materials, with a lack of peaty material. The fill potentially consists of hydraulic fill,
dredge spoils from the former river channel, and potentially some volume of sewage
sludge (Port of Seattle 1992a).
During advancement of monitoring wells on the property in 2006, tidal marsh deposits
were distinctive and easily identified as compact silts intermixed with peaty grass and
root materials (Pacific Groundwater Group 2006c). The tidal marsh deposits were
described as compact sandy silt with peat (organic material). Outcrops of tidal marsh
deposits are visible along the shoreline near mean sea level (Appendix A, Photo 14). In
the observed outcroppings, the deposits consist of sandy silt with a high organic
content (peat). The tidal marsh deposits underlie the fill material at T-108 from between
10 to 20 ft below ground surface (bgs). These deposits are brown to gray, very soft to
soft, moist to wet, and composed of organic silts and clays.
Along the T-108 shoreline, various outcrops of fill that lacked peaty material was
identified. The fill was described as silty sand predominantly gray in color containing
significant amounts of sand and anthropogenic materials. Tidal marsh outcrops were
also identified near mean sea level along the shoreline. These deposits are generally
light brown in color and peat material is often visible. Boring logs from past subsurface
investigations for the T-108 subject property are contained in Appendix C.
Several previous investigations have identified and described the alluvial deposits that
underlie the marsh deposit layers. The alluvial deposits represent remnants of the
former Duwamish River channel, of which the subject property was a part prior to
development of the LDW. The alluvial materials range from black, loose, wet, fine
grained sands to gray, medium stiff, wet, and very fine grained sandy silts (Pacific
Groundwater Group 2006c).
2.3.2 Hydrogeology
The fill layer discussed in Section 2.3.1 is the uppermost water-bearing unit of the
subject property. This unit is often referred to as the shallow aquifer in investigation
documentation. Monitoring wells installed on T-108 have been completed in this
shallow aquifer unit (Appendix A, Photo 6 is a representative groundwater well at
T-108); groundwater is typically observed in this unit at approximately 10 ft bgs.
Groundwater near the LDW within this shallow unit is tidally influenced. Groundwater
flow patterns in the shallow aquifer have been observed over the course of several years
of investigation; groundwater appears to flow radially from a relative high in the northcentral portion of the subject property (roughly between groundwater monitoring wells
PGG-1 and PGG-2 on Map 3).

FINAL

Table 1 provides a summary of water level measurements over time for PGG wells 01
through 07 at the subject property. These seven wells are the most recently completed
wells at the property and analytical information from these well locations is considered
the most representative of current conditions at the subject property relative to source
control. A groundwater contour map based on levels from these wells locations is
provided as Map 4. Successive mapping of the groundwater contours at the subject
property derived from years of investigations have indicated that groundwater in the
shallow aquifer in the Western Parcel generally flows toward the LDW. However, in the
Eastern Parcel, groundwater moves from a relative high in the center of the Eastern
Parcel radially in all directions, but predominately to the north and east.

FINAL

Historical aerial photographs of the subject property (see Appendix B) identify a former
tidal channel that extended from the LDW, along or adjacent to the north of the present
day S Oregon Street ROW, and into the subject property (AGI 1992a). It is unclear
where the channels exact terminus existed, but some of the aerial photographs indicate
it may have extended to E Marginal Way S and potentially received runoff from the
street and areas farther east. One source reported that the channel received untreated
sewage discharge from small sewer system that was located to the northeast of T-108
(King County et al. 2005a). The aerial photograph from 1946 (Appendix B) shows a
facility located to the northeast of T-108 along Diagonal Avenue S that may represent
this reported sewer system; however, this could not be confirmed during the course of
this investigation.
The tidal channel entered the subject property along the eastern boundary and
extended through the northeast portion of the Eastern Parcel, passing outside of the
property boundary near the center of the northern boundary of the parcel (near PGG-1;
see map 3 for reference). Based on available information, the channel was likely filled
between 1962 and 1976 (Pacific Groundwater Group 2006a); the channel was most likely
backfilled when the Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD stormwater and sewer lines were
installed in 1966 and 1967 (King County et al. 2005a).
Assuming that coarse-grained materials were used as backfill, the relic channel may be
locally influencing groundwater flow in the shallow aquifer unit by providing a
preferential pathway for flow. Ultimately the discharge point for this flow path is most
likely the LDW, near the present day location of the Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD and
the Duwamish emergency overflow (EOF).

2.4

INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONSTRUCTED SITE FEATURES

Current T-108 site features are associated with the existing container storage and
maintenance facility on the Eastern Parcel and a former parking lot and bulk cement
terminal on the Western Parcel, plus areas of chassis and miscellaneous material
storage. The container storage and maintenance facility on the Eastern Parcel includes a
paved and graveled container storage yard, a paved maintenance area, and access
roadways and railway spurs for loading and unloading cargo. In total, approximately
nine acres of paved area are used for cargo container storage operations and
approximately five acres are graveled (the nine acres of paving includes areas in the
S Oregon Street ROW and T-106W not included in the acreage of the subject property).
A four-lane entry extends from Diagonal Avenue S into the southern portion of the
Eastern Parcel (Map 2). Access to the northern portion of the T-108 cargo yard can be
gained from the Diagonal Avenue S ROW. The T-108 container storage and
maintenance facility is linked to the adjoining T-106W, located to the north, by an access
roadway extending the S Oregon Street ROW. An office trailer is located in the
southeast corner of the maintenance yard in the Eastern Parcel but no permanent
structures have been constructed on the Eastern Parcel. The Eastern Parcel is

surrounded by chain-linked fencing and light posts are dispersed throughout the
container yard.
A network of storm drainage lines, catch basins, manholes, and oil/water separators
support drainage for the paved and graveled areas of the Eastern Parcel. The drainage
system was installed in 1993 by the Port when the Port redeveloped the property for use
as a container storage yard. The drainage system consists of City of Seattle-approved
catch basins in a 100-ft by 150-ft grid pattern. Lines of highway grade perforated
polyethylene pipe were installed beneath the areas of gravel during redevelopment of
the property to collect stormwater that infiltrates in the areas where the cargo
containers are stored. The perforated pipes are located approximately 2.5 ft bgs (note
that the highest groundwater level measured at T-108 in 2007 was 5.99 ft bgs [Table 1]);
therefore, groundwater is not expected to infiltrate the perforated piping). The
perforated pipes interconnect with a combination of 18- and 24-inch-diameter pipes that
collect stormwater runoff in the paved areas supported by the catch basins. All
stormwater collected in the Eastern Parcel is routed through an approved oil/water
separator prior to discharge into the Duwamish/Diagonal SD piping beneath the S
Oregon Street ROW. This piping ultimately discharges into the LDW 100 ft northwest of
the subject property. Surface runoff from the Eastern Parcel tends to collect in the
eastern portion of the site (within the area of the maintenance yard) which is
topographically lower than the remainder of the property (Pacific Groundwater Group
2006c).
ConGlobal maintains an industrial stormwater NPDES permit (No. SO3-010569) and
has prepared a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) to manage stormwater
discharges to the Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD system. Additional information on the
NPDES permit and SWPPP is included in Section 3.6.
Improvements on the Western Parcel of T-108 are primarily associated with its former
uses. The southern portion of the Western Parcel was paved in the early 1960s for use as
a parking lot (Port of Seattle 1988). A drainage system consisting of catch basins and a
storm drain (Port outfall 2225) was also installed at this time to drain stormwater from
the parking lot (Map 5).
In the early 1990s, Lafarge Canada, Inc. (Lafarge) installed a bulk cement terminal on
the Western Parcel. The terminal was installed on existing paved areas (a former
parking lot) which drained to an existing SD outfall. A catch basin was installed by
Lafarge for the truck wash-down area; this catch basin was plumbed to the sanitary
sewer (Port of Seattle 1988). The paved areas and catch basins, as well as remnants of
the truck wash-down area, remain on the Western Parcel. In addition, Lafarge
constructed a pier and pneumatic conveyor system offshore of T-108 in approximately
the center of the shoreline. These features are still present although not currently in
operation (Map 2).

A railroad spur, approximately 1,100 feet long, spans both the Eastern and Western
Parcels of T-108. The spur extends from the southern property boundary and crosses
Diagonal Avenue S before joining the existing Union Pacific Railroad track on the south
side of Diagonal Avenue S. On T-108, the spur extends west and north to a loading
platform in the northwest corner of the Western Parcel. On the Eastern Parcel, the rail
spur runs along the boundary between the two parcels and terminates near the
northern property border. The rail spur is not currently in use. Chain link fencing
borders the majority of T-108 (both the Eastern and Western Parcels).

Property Ownership and Operational History

The area currently comprising T-108 was created from the flood plain of the Duwamish
River between 1913 and 1917, at the time of construction of the LDW; however, based
on historical aerial photographs, the site was otherwise undeveloped as of 1936
(Appendix B). The first documented development and use of the site occurred in 1938
when the property was developed as the Diagonal Avenue S STP.
Over the years the property has been used for various industrial purposes and has had
several different owners and operators. Since 1980, ownership and operation of the
property has been split between two parcels, an Eastern Parcel and a Western Parcel
(Map 2). Both parcels are currently owned by the Port. The Eastern Parcel is
approximately 11 acres in size and the Western Parcel is approximately 9 acres in size.
Information in this section is derived from documents on file at Ecology and the Port, as
well as historical documentation of the Diagonal Avenue S STP (Brown and Caldwell
1958), documents prepared in association with the Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD
sediment area cleanup, and documents prepared as part of the source control strategy
for the LDW. Information from documentation on site use at T-108 prior to the Port’s
ownership period (beginning in 1980) is included when available. Several of the
documents reviewed for information on property development and use were planning
documents prepared for the purposes of acquiring permits. In some cases it is unknown
whether all planned development activities were completed. Several historical sources
provided conflicting or incomplete information. The property ownership and
operational history presented for T-108 in this report are intended to be as complete and
accurate as possible; however some inaccuracies and uncertainties may be present and
are identified accordingly. Figure 1 provides a visual timeline of the subject property’s
ownership, operational, and environmental investigation history.

PRE-INDUSTRIAL HISTORY

Until the 1850s, the Duwamish River and surrounding areas supported fishing,
hunting, and trapping activities of various Native American Tribes. Historically, the
Black, Green, and White Rivers all contributed to the flow of the Duwamish River, with
the Black and Green Rivers being tributaries to the White River, which was tributary to
the Duwamish. The original Duwamish drained an area of approximately 1,640 square
miles as it meandered through grasslands, floodplains, wetlands, and tidal marshes
prior to emptying into Elliott Bay.
People of European descent arrived in the region in the 1850s and began clearing the
shoreline and draining the adjacent freshwater and tidal marshes to facilitate farming
activities. Logging emerged as a profitable venture, and docks and shipping
infrastructure were built along the banks of the Duwamish. Because flooding in lowlying areas remained a concern in the early 1900s, levees and dams were installed to
control water flow. Additional efforts to control river flooding led to several changes in
the hydrology of the Duwamish River. The White River was diverted to the Puyallup
River, the Cedar River was rerouted to flow into Lake Washington, and the Black River
was reduced to a small stream with the construction of the Lake Washington Ship Canal
and the resulting lowering of the water level in Lake Washington. The Green River
remained as the only tributary to the Duwamish River.
Between 1913 and 1917, the Duwamish River was channelized and dredged to form the
LDW. The land on which T-108 now exists was once tidal marsh that was reclaimed
through the placement of fill materials during this time period (AGI 1992b, citing
Dames and Moore 1981). Channelization and dredging of the river increased the levels
of industrialization of the area as berthing of large ocean-going vessels became possible.
Commercial interest of the waterway’s shoreline expanded, and residential areas
sprung up in what had been farmland adjacent to the river.
The first known use of the T-108 property was as the Diagonal Avenue S STP, owned
and operated by the City of Seattle until 1962. The plant began operations in 1938
(Ecology 2004a). Documentation regarding the use of the T-108 property prior to 1938
has not been identified.

DIAGONAL WAY SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT

From 1938 to 1962, the City of Seattle operated the Diagonal Way STP on the current
location of the T-108 subject property. Between 1962 and 1969, Metro assumed
operation of the facility and made improvements to the plant (King County et al. 2005a).
This facility had the capacity to receive eight million gallons of sewage and stormwater
per day (mgd) and was the primary sewage treatment and discharge facility for the
industrialized and downtown portions of the City of Seattle. The location of the
treatment plant is shown on Map 6 (approximate locations of major facility features)
and in aerial photos from 1946, 1953, 1961, and 1970 (Appendix B).

FINAL

Treatment facilities comprising the treatment plant included two large clarifiers and
two digesters located in approximately the center of the subject property, glass-covered
sludge drying beds to the west of the clarifiers and digesters, a control house adjacent to
the east of the clarifiers and digesters, and a pump house on the eastern portion of the
property (TAMS 1992; Brown and Caldwell 1958) (Map 6; Appendix B – 1946 aerial).
The pump house associated with the Diagonal Avenue S STP is different from the
current King County pumping station located adjacent to and east of present day T-108.
As mentioned previously, historical aerial photographs identify a former tidal channel
that extended from the LDW, along or adjacent to the north of the present day S Oregon
Street ROW, and into the subject property (AGI 1992a). According to information on the
construction and operations of the Diagonal Avenue S STP, this drainage channel was
not used for water intake or effluent discharge from standard plant activities. The
channel may have received untreated sewage from a small sewer system located to the
northeast of T-108 (King County et al. 2005a), not associated with the Diagonal
Avenue S STP.
Historically, a raw sewage trunk line extending west from E Marginal Way S carried
wastewater to the former control house and clarifiers. Wastewater was treated in the
clarifiers and digesters and the sludge was then pumped into open ponds and drying
beds on the northern portion of the property (Dames & Moore 1988). The size, location,
and configuration of the sludge ponds changed over the years as observed in aerial
photographs (Appendix B). Primary-treated effluent was discharged into the LDW
through a 30-inch steel outfall located approximately mid-way along the property
shoreline (see former Diagonal Avenue STP outfall 2002 on Maps 2 and 6; Appendix A,
Photo 14; and Appendix B). A parking lot area was constructed on the southern portion
of the property around 1962 (Port of Seattle 1988). A drainage system was installed in
association with the parking area, including an 18-inch concrete outfall (Port outfall
2225 on Map 2).
The Diagonal Way STP was closed by 1970 when construction of the West Point
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) was completed and sewage and wastewater was
re-routed to that facility. As part of the construction of the West Point facility, the
Duwamish Pumping Station was constructed adjacent to and east of T-108 and the
Diagonal Way CSO/SD and Duwamish EOF were installed beneath the S Oregon Street
ROW. The structures and above-ground clarifiers were demolished and removed in the
early-1970s. The digesters were reportedly filled and left in-place (Port of Seattle 1992a).
Sludge up to five feet thick was left in the sludge ponds and drying beds on the
northern portion of the property and subsequently covered with fill material (Dames &
Moore 1988; AGI 1992b). The source of the fill material has not been identified during
the review of historical documentation.

CHIYODA CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL OWNERSHIP (C. 1972-1980)

Chiyoda acquired the T-108 subject property in the mid-1970s and planned to construct
a chemical manufacturing plant with a loading dock on the site. Although shoreline
dredging was conducted by Chiyoda in anticipation of the manufacturing plant, it was
never constructed because the company failed to acquire the necessary permits for the
shore-based dock (King County 2002).
In 1974, approximately 265 gallons of PCB oil consisting of Aroclor 1242 were spilled
into Slip 1 of the LDW (upstream of T-108) when an electrical transformer owned by the
United States Air Force was damaged while being loaded onto a barge owned by the
Alaska Puget United Transportation Company under contract to the Navy Military Sea
Transportation Service (King County et al. 2005a; EPA 1975). Neither the US
government nor the Puget United Transportation Company would claim responsibility
for the spill, so EPA took control as the On-scene Coordinator for the spill cleanup. The
majority of the spilled PCB material (approximately 250 gallons) was dredged from the
bottom of the LDW and transferred to a trailer mounted portable treatment plant
stationed on the southern portion of the Federal Center South facility.
Additional dredging was conducted by EPA and USACE between 1974 and 1976 to
remove LDW sediments contaminated with the residual PCB material (approximately
20 gallons not removed during the initial cleanup effort). According to the interim
groundwater and shoreline soil investigation final work plan report completed for T108 by PGG, Chiyoda agreed to allow the EPA and USACE to store and treat
approximately 10 million gallons of dredged sediment slurry on the subject property
(Pacific Groundwater Group 2006c). A historical record of this agreement was not
identified through the course of this investigation.
To accommodate treatment and disposal of the dredged sediment, USACE excavated
two pits were excavated on the northern portion of the T-108 property near the location
of a large former sludge pond (see Map 6 and Appendix B). The pits were reported by
the Pacific Groundwater Group (PGG) to have been excavated to depths of 10 to 12 ft
deep based on a review of a 1976 topographic map (2006c). PCB-contaminated sediment
slurry was pumped into the southwest corner of the western pit where solids were
allowed to settle out. The liquid portion of the slurry was then decanted into the eastern
pit and pumped to a holding pond and treatment unit. From there it was pumped back
into the LDW. PCB Aroclor 1242 concentrations in the dredged sediment within the
western pit ranged from 146 mg/kg at the slurry intake point in the southwest corner of
the pit, to 33 mg/kg in the pit interior (Pacific Groundwater Group 2006c). The location
of the holding pond and treatment unit are not known.
The sediment treatment process was completed and USACE filled the pits by 1977.
After treatment, water was pumped back into the LDW, however the solids that had
settled out within the holding pits (primarily the western pit) were left in place and the
pits were subsequently covered with fill material (Pacific Groundwater Group 2006c).

Terminal 108 Environmental

Page 28

The fill consisted of the material excavated during pit construction and from other
sources (see paragraph that follows). It has been estimated that between 7,000 and 8,000
cy of sediment dredged during the PCB spill cleanup were buried in the holding pits,
and that in total, this included approximately 170 gallons of PCBs (Pacific Groundwater
Group 2006c). In 1980, Chiyoda sold the T-108 property to the Port.
In 1977, Chiyoda cut back and dredged the northern portion of the T-108 shoreline to
improve berthing (see Appendix B); the new shoreline was approximately 100 ft further
inland from the extent of the shoreline before dredging (King County 2002). It is
estimated that 80,000 cubic yards (cy) of material was dredged from the area (King
County et al. 2005a). Based on a review of historical aerial photographs, it appears that
the southern extent of the dredging likely ended in the vicinity of the former Diagonal
Avenue S STP outfall (Maps 2 and 6). Dredged material was stockpiled on the northern
portion of the Western Parcel (see Map 6 for approximate location), and was also used
to fill the dredged sediment pits, fill nearshore areas, and level the site of the former
Diagonal Way STP.

3.4

OWNERSHIP AND OPERATIONAL HISTORY (1980-2008) – EASTERN PARCEL

The subject property was first subdivided into the Eastern and Western Parcels in the
early 1980s. Since that time, ownership of the Eastern Parcel traded between the Port
and Chevron a few times in the 1980s and 1990s. Since 1992, the Eastern Parcel has been
owned by the Port and leased as a container terminal.
3.4.1 Port of Seattle Ownership (1980-1984)
The Port acquired the subject property from Chiyoda in 1980. Based on a historical
aerial photo from 1981, the paved southern portion of the property and a small area in
the central portion of the property were used for container storage (Appendix B). No
additional information regarding the use of the Eastern Parcel during this time period
was identified.
3.4.2 Chevron USA Products Company Ownership (1984-1992)
In 1984, Chevron USA Products Company (Chevron) acquired the Eastern Parcel of
T-108 as part of a deal in which the Port acquired Pier 32 (formerly
Terminal-30/Chevron). This is the first time that property ownership was split between
the Eastern and Western Parcels. Chevron used the Eastern Parcel from 1984 to 1992 to
stockpile soil and store equipment. Gasoline station equipment, including cranes and
gasoline pumps, were stored on the southern portion of the parcel (Map 7) (Port of
Seattle 1992a). The area was also used for automobile parking. One or two mobile office
trailers were located on the Eastern Parcel during Chevron’s ownership. Soil stockpiles
and equipment storage areas are visible in aerial photographs from 1990 (Appendix B).

FINAL

The northwestern portion of the parcel was used by Chevron to treat soil contaminated
with petroleum hydrocarbons using a technique called land-farming for approximately
six months in 1990. Approximately 1,400 cy of soil excavated from a local service station
that had been contaminated by a leaking underground fuel storage tank was treated by
land-farming (Thorne Environmental 1990); the approximate location where the landfarming activity occurred is presented on Map 7 and visible on the aerial photograph
from 1990 (Appendix B).
Prior to the onset of land-farming activities, analytical samples were collected from the
soil stockpile and the surface soil in the proposed land farming area. Total petroleum
hydrocarbons (TPH) were detected above Ecology cleanup standards of 200 parts per
million (ppm) in the soil stockpile (Thorne Environmental 1990) (Appendix C). Total
xylenes, ethylbenzene, barium, and cadmium were also detected in the soil stockpile;
PCBs, benzene, toluene, arsenic, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and silver were
not detected (Thorne Environmental 1990). Gasoline and benzene, toluene, ethyl
benzene, and xylene (BTEX) constituents were not detected in surface soil samples
collected from the proposed land-farming location; however, PCBs were detected in
five out of the six samples (with a maximum total PCB concentration of 6.90 ppm)
(Pacific Environmental Group 1991).
The soil was placed in a 200-square ft area located at approximately the same location as
the PCB dredge sediment disposal pits that were created to treat impacted sediment
from the 1975 PCB spill at Slip 1. The aerial photo from 1990 shows the land farming
area in the northern portion of the parcel (see Appendix B). Prior to placing the
petroleum-contaminated soils onsite, a clay cap was installed in the designated landfarming area (Map 7) to prevent the possibility of contaminating the soils to be landfarmed with other contaminants that might have been present on the property (Dames
& Moore 1988). The clay cap had a surface approximately two ft thick and varied from
an elevation of approximately 15 to 17.5 ft (Dames & Moore 1992). The soil was landfarmed until petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in the soil were below MTCA
Method A cleanup screening levels. TPH concentrations of the land-farmed soil ranged
from 42-190 mg/kg, TPH-gasoline concentrations ranged from non-detected to
28 mg/kg, and BTEX constituents were not detected (Pacific Environmental Group
1991) (Appendix C). The stockpiled soil was distributed on the Eastern Parcel of T-108
to a thickness of approximately 1 to 2 ft (Dames & Moore 1992).
After land-farming activities were completed, soil samples were also collected beneath
the treatment area to determine whether native soil conditions had been affected by
land-farming activities (Appendix C). TPH concentrations ranged from 15 to
100 mg/kg, TPH-gasoline was not detected, and BTEX constituents were not detected
(Pacific Environmental Group 1991). PCB 1248 was detected at concentrations ranging
from 106 to 9.3 mg/kg. These results suggest that native soil was contaminated with
TPH because of land-farming activities but that the contamination was below Ecology
cleanup levels.

In 1992, the Port purchased the Eastern Parcel of T-108 back from Chevron and
redeveloped the property for use as a container terminal. Permitting documentation for
development of the container terminal indicated that the land-farmed soils would be
removed and disposed of at an approved off-site facility prior to redevelopment (Port of
Seattle 1992a); therefore, it is assumed at this time that the land-farmed material is no
longer present on the T-108 property.
3.4.3 Port of Seattle Ownership – Eastern Parcel (1992-1997)
In the early 1990s, the Port redeveloped the Eastern Parcel of T-108 for use as a
container storage and chassis repair yard to accommodate CCI in expanding their
operations from T-106W (located adjacent to the northwest of T-108). The
redevelopment involved construction of a paved access road across the S Oregon Street
ROW to connect the two Port properties, construction of a 4-lane truck access road
extending from Diagonal Avenue S onto the southern portion of the Eastern Parcel,
construction of a rail spur extending from the rail line along the south side of Diagonal
Avenue S to the northwest corner of the container terminal, and re-surfacing much of
the parcel with asphalt pavement and gravel for container storage and transport (Port
of Seattle 1992a). These improvements are visible on aerial photographs from 1995 and
subsequent years (Appendix B). Improvements were also made to the stormwater
drainage system including installation of an oil-water separator, catch basins, and new
subsurface piping; this drainage system is discussed in Section 2.4.
In order to ensure subsurface materials would be geotechnically suitable to support
future land use as a cargo container storage and transport yard, approximately
5,000 cubic yards (cy) of soil and fill material, including the soil land-farmed during
Chevron’s ownership of the property, was removed from the property between 1992
and 1993 (as indicated by the permit for the effort), and replaced with newly-imported
fill material (Port of Seattle 1992a).
Development of the container terminal was completed by 1995. CCI’s operations
included unloading cargo from barges and loading it onto trucks and railcars for
transport. In addition, chassis repair and maintenance operations also occurred at the
eastern portion of the Eastern Parcel during CCI’s occupation of the property.
Hazardous substances handled on the property in association with these activities
included (but were not necessarily limited to) chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) 11/12,
Freon 12, paint, paint thinner, oils, lubricants, and fuel products (Container Care
International 1993).
In 2004, CCI merged with another depot operator called Global Intermodal Systems to
form ConGlobal Industries (ConGlobal). ConGlobal assumed operation of both T-108
and T-106W at this time. For a brief period, ReNu recycling also leased approximately
2 acres of the southern portion of the Eastern Parcel of T-108 for use as temporary
storage for trucks and roll-off bins (Pacific Groundwater Group 2007a). The ReNu lease
was transferred to ConGlobal in August 2007.

OWNERSHIP AND OPERATIONAL HISTORY (1980-2008) – WESTERN PARCEL

The Port purchased the Western Parcel of T-108 from Chiyoda in 1980 and has
maintained ownership of the property since that time. Between 1980 and 1985, the
parcel remained vacant, with the exception of some container storage limited to the
southern, paved portion of the parcel in the early 1980s. In 1985, the Pioneer
Construction Materials Co. (Pioneer) was permitted to use the site as a temporary
construction aggregate storage area for a period of approximately six months (Taylor
1985). The aggregate was unloaded from barges using a portable stacker/conveyer
system and subsequently loaded onto trucks for transport to a construction site along I90. The aggregate originated from Pioneer’s gravel pit in Steilacoom, Washington and is
assumed to have been free of contaminants when brought to the site.
In the late 1980s, a habitat project was constructed along the southern portion of the
T-108 shoreline to mitigate for loss of habitat at another Port property (T-30).
Approximately 12,400 cy of sediment and soil were cut out of the existing shoreline
bank to create the 12,300 square foot (SF) intertidal shoreline habitat area located
immediately north of Diagonal Avenue S (Port of Seattle 1985b) (Map 7). The majority
of the soil and sediment removed during construction of the mitigation site was
approved for open-water disposal in Elliott Bay. Approximately 200 cy of the excavated
material was found to be contaminated and required disposal at an approved upland
site (Ecology 1987). According to Port staff, contaminants in the soil were primarily
metals and PAHs and were thought to be related trash (cans, broken glass, and other
debris) dumped at the Diagonal Avenue S street end. Additional details (including the
analytical results) of the sampling conducted in the mitigation area prior to its
construction are not currently available. After the soil and sediment excavation was
completed, approximately 1,500 cy of clean rock and structural fill were installed at the
mitigation area to stabilize the bank.
Between 1989 and 1998, Lafarge leased the Western Parcel from the Port for use as a
bulk cement transshipment facility. The facility was constructed in the early 1990s and
was located on the southern half of the Western Parcel of T-108 (Map 7). Lafarge used
the facility to transport bulk cement from barges to trucks and rail cars for distribution.
Several site improvements were made during development of the Lafarge facility. A
barge moorage pier and pneumatic conveyor system were constructed offshore in the
LDW, approximately in the center of the parcel shoreline (see Map 7 and Appendix B).
A product transfer tower, four dry cement storage silos, a truck scale, and a truck washdown area were all constructed according to permitting documentation (Port of Seattle
1988). The truck wash-down area was constructed on a concrete pad that drained to a
catch basin and ultimately to the sanitary sewer. A prefabricated shed was placed on a
paved area on the southwest portion of the parcel for use as an office building.
Public access improvements to the shoreline mitigation area and Diagonal Avenue S
street end were also planned as part of the project. These improvements were in

accordance with the Port’s public access plan (Port of Seattle 1985a) and included a trail
and hand-boat launch area. The wooden bulkhead observed along the property
shoreline in March 2008 were associated with the public access trail (Blomberg 2008)
(Appendix A, Photos 12 and 13).
Paved roadways, a rail spur, and associated loading areas were also constructed as part
of the Lafarge facility improvements. According to Port staff, a covered loading area
was located adjacent to the storage silos and was used to load trucks and railcars. The
loading area was a shallow pit excavated beneath the rail line. Dry bulk cement that
arrived to the facility by rail was unloaded into the pit and then loaded into the silos via
an additional pneumatic conveyor system (Blomberg 2008). Plans for the terminal also
called for construction of office and warehouse buildings, however according to Port
staff and based on a review of historical aerial photographs, it does not appear that
these buildings were ever constructed.
Grading and shoreline modifications were made as part of the Lafarge facility
development. In order to stabilize eroding shoreline in the central and northern
portions of the property, the bank was cut back above 11.5 ft MLLW and stabilized with
riprap (Port of Seattle 1988, 1989). Excavated bank sediments, as well as dredge spoils
along the northern portion of the shoreline (likely remaining from Chiyoda’s 1977
dredging project) were graded across the northern portion of the parcel (Port of Seattle
1988). The area was then seeded/planted with vegetation to help control erosion.
Additional public access improvements were made to the mitigation area in the early1990s. These improvements were made to compensate for public access restrictions to
the S Oregon Street ROW implemented during development of the container storage
facility on the Eastern Parcel of T-108 (Port of Seattle 1992a). Public access
enhancements included removal of approximately a half acre of asphalt near the
mitigation area, installation of additional native plantings, and installation of other
human-use features such as picnic tables and interpretive signage (Port of Seattle
1992a).
In the late 1990s, Lafarge removed the bulk cement facility fixtures and transported
them for use in Eastern Washington. The fixtures removed included the storage silos,
office shed, truck scale and wash-down area, and rail car loading equipment (Port of
Seattle 1999). Beginning around 2002 or 2003, CCI used a portion of the parcel as a
chassis storage area.

3.6

CURRENT OPERATIONS AT T-108

ConGlobal is currently the only tenant at T-108, and the company continues to operate a
container terminal on the Eastern Parcel. Containers are stored throughout the Eastern
Parcel and maintenance is conducted on the eastern end of the parcel (Appendix A,
Photo 2). A fueling area, which includes two aboveground storage tanks (AST)
containing diesel (one 300-gallons and one 600-gallons) is located on the southern
portion of the Eastern Parcel. An additional 1,200-gallon AST is also located in this area.

January 23, 2009
Page 36

ASTs are regulated based on the requirements outlined in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) (40 CFR 112 – Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plans).
ConGlobal also leases the majority of the Western Parcel for use as a chassis storage and
lay-down area (Appendix A, Photos 7 and 8). The public access park and mitigation
area remain on the southern portion of the Western Parcel and are not included in the
ConGlobal lease area (Appendix A, Photos 9 and 10). For reference purposes, Map 8
provides a comprehensive presentation of the historical site features (presented on
Maps 6 and 7) overlying the current conditions of the T-108 subject property. Map 9
expands this comprehensive presentation to include the locations of previous soil and
groundwater sample locations.
As of April 2008, ConGlobal maintains an industrial NPDES stormwater permit (No.
SO3-010569) and a SWPPP for management of stormwater discharges from the
container terminal to the Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD system has been prepared.
ConGlobal also maintains an SPCC plan to be implemented in the case of a hazardous
materials release. The purpose of the NPDES permit, SWPPP, and SPCC plan is to
reduce the potential for stormwater contamination resulting from industrial activities
conducted at the facility. Ecology conducted a stormwater compliance inspection at the
facility on June 5, 2008. Several modifications to the SWPPP were required after the
inspection.
Best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to reduce stormwater pollution,
and inspections and stormwater sampling are conducted as required under the NPDES
permit and associated SWPPP. Stormwater samples are analyzed for total zinc, oil and
grease, turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), and pH. In addition, total copper and
total lead are analyzed if the benchmark for zinc is exceeded during two consecutive
sampling events. The chassis repair area and equipment fueling areas on the Eastern
Parcel are covered by the NPDES permit and SWPPP; the portions of T-108 used only
for storage, office space, and parking are not covered.

T-108 Environmental Conditions and Investigation Information

Since the early 1980s, numerous environmental investigations have been completed at
the subject property and at properties within its immediate vicinity. Environmental
investigations have included sampling and analyses of soil, groundwater, seep water,
bank soil, and nearshore sediment. Although samples have been collected over the
majority of T-108, much of the investigation work has concentrated on the northern
portion of the subject property, in the vicinity of the former landfarming and PCB
sludge disposal and treatment areas.
The following sections provide an overview of previous sampling events completed at
the subject and adjacent properties. The information in the section has been presented
to assist with overall evaluation of the subject property, in order to develop an effective,
long-term source control strategy. The particular data discussed in the follow sections
are provided in more detail in Appendix D (T-108 related data) and Appendix E
(relevant adjacent property data). This section and Appendix E also provide
information on the rights-of-way surrounding the subject property and the stormwater
outfalls within the vicinity of T-108.

4.1

ENVIRONMENTAL DATA SUMMARY FOR T-108

In 2006, PGG completed a review and summary of historical soil and groundwater data
for T-108 as part of their work plan for additional soil and groundwater sampling to be
conducted on the property in 2006 and 2007 (Pacific Groundwater Group 2006c). The
following soil and groundwater data summaries are based on the PGG work plan and
the data reports summarizing PGG’s recent environmental investigations at T-108
(Pacific Groundwater Group 2006b, 2007a).
4.1.1 T-108 soil
Several soil and groundwater investigations have been conducted on T-108 since the
1980s. Data are available from several historical investigations including Dames and
Moore investigations from 1981 and 1984, PEG investigations from 1990, and an
investigation by Applied Geotechnology, Inc. (AGI) in 1991 (Appendix D). PCBs, TPH
(gasoline and diesel), toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes, thirteen individual PAHs,
arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, silver, thallium, and zinc
have historically been detected in soils at T-108. Of these chemicals, only cadmium was
detected above MTCA industrial cleanup levels.
Soil conditions at T-108 were recently investigated by PGG (Pacific Groundwater Group
2006b). The locations sampled, PGG-2, PGG-5, PGG-6, and PGG-7, are shown on Map 3.
PCBs (Aroclors 1248, 1254, and 1260), petroleum hydrocarbons (gasoline, diesel, and
lube oil), 17 individual PAHs, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and
zinc were all detected. Of these, only diesel-range hydrocarbons, lube oil-range

hydrocarbons, and cadmium were detected above MTCA Method A industrial soil
cleanup levels. Sample location PGG-2, located adjacent to the west of the PCB
sediment disposal area, exceeded MTCA Method A industrial cleanup levels for dieselrange hydrocarbons and cadmium in the 9-10.5 ft bgs interval. The other exceedance
(for cadmium) occurred in the 0.5-2 ft bgs interval in sampling location PGG-7, located
at the southern portion of the Western Parcel near the mitigation area (Map 3).
4.1.2 T-108 groundwater
Historical groundwater investigations were conducted on T-108 by Dames and Moore
in 1981 and 1984 (Dames & Moore 1984) and by AGI in 1991 and 1992 (AGI 1992a,
1992b). Groundwater data from the Dames and Moore reports were not included in the
PGG work plan, but data from the 1984 investigation are included along with other
historical data in Appendix D of this report. Groundwater data from the 1981 Dames
and Moore investigation were not identified during the course of this investigation;
however, according to a site assessment summary report completed for Chevron in
1992, PCB Aroclor 1242 was detected at 0.9 µg/L in one of six groundwater monitoring
wells sampled by Dames and Moore in 1981 (AGI 1992a). The well in which
Aroclor 1242 was detected was located in the south-central portion of the approximate
PCB sludge disposal area. Groundwater samples collected by Dames and Moore in 1984
did not contain PCBs at concentrations above the 1 µg/L detection limit (Dames &
Moore 1984); the locations of these historical groundwater wells were not identified
during the course of this investigation. PCBs were not detected in groundwater samples
collected from T-108 by AGI in 1991 or 1992 (Appendix D).
Groundwater monitoring results from the AGI investigations in the early 1990s
identified petroleum hydrocarbons (diesel and gasoline) in wells located on the
northern portion of the property. Gasoline-range hydrocarbons did not exceed MTCA
Method A cleanup levels; diesel-range hydrocarbons did exceed MTCA Method C
cleanup levels in one well located approximately 100 ft south of the sediment disposal
pit area. BTEX constituents were also detected in groundwater samples collected within
or near the sediment disposal pits; however, concentrations were below MTCA Method
C industrial cleanup levels.
PAHs were historically detected in groundwater samples collected from wells on the
northern portion of T-108. Total carcinogenic PAH (cPAH) toxic equivalents (TEQs)
exceeded the MTCA Method C cleanup level in three wells located to the east and south
of the sediment disposal pit area, and one well within the disposal pit area in 1991.
Total cPAH TEQs were below MTCA Method C in all wells when re-sampled in 1992
(Pacific Groundwater Group 2006c).
Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc were detected in
historical T-108 groundwater samples. Arsenic and cadmium were each detected above
MTCA Method C cleanup levels; arsenic exceeded MTCA in a well near the northeast
corner of the Eastern Parcel, and cadmium exceeded MTCA in two wells, one located

approximately 100 ft south of the sediment disposal pit area, and one located along the
northern boundary of the sediment disposal pit area. In addition, arsenic exceeded the
MTCA Method C cleanup level in three historical wells sampled by Dames and Moore
in 1984 (Dames & Moore 1984); the locations of these wells are not known. In their work
plan, PGG stated that historical groundwater samples collected at T-108 were likely
unfiltered and therefore biased high (Pacific Groundwater Group 2006c). In addition,
historical samples were not collected with the low flow method and therefore likely
contained entrained soils which could also biased analytical results.
In 2006 and 2007, PGG installed seven new monitoring wells and sampled groundwater
during four monitoring rounds. The data from these sampling events are presented in
Appendix D. PCBs were not detected in any of the wells during all four sampling
rounds with the exception of Aroclor 1016, which was detected above MTCA Method A
cleanup levels in one well in the second sampling round (PGG-2 on Map 3). This
sample result was rejected due to poor sample quality (Pacific Groundwater Group
2006b). The sample was considered to be of poor quality because the well pumped dry
several times during sampling, and it was concluded that soil particulates were likely
introduced into the sample. In addition, due to a lab/chain-of-custody error, the sample
was analyzed after its holding time had elapsed.
Petroleum hydrocarbons and BTEX constituents were not detected in any of the wells
sampled during the four sampling rounds. Non-carcinogenic PAHs were detected in
two wells in the first round of sampling but were not detected in the following three
rounds. Carcinogenic PAHs were detected in two wells (PGG-2 and PGG-5) during the
second round of sampling. The results from well PGG-2 were rejected due to poor
sample quality for the reasons discussed above (Pacific Groundwater Group 2006b).
Total and dissolved arsenic, chromium, copper, nickel, and zinc were detected in
multiple monitoring wells during all four sampling rounds. Within the first two rounds
of sampling, total and dissolved arsenic were detected above MTCA Method A cleanup
levels in wells PGG-1 and PGG-2 (Map 3). Total arsenic was also detected above MTCA
Method A in well PGG-5 in the first sampling round. Total lead was detected above
MTCA Method A in well PGG-1 in the first round of sampling. All detected metals
concentrations in rounds three and four were below both MTCA Method A cleanup
levels and the groundwater screening levels developed by Ecology for the protection of
LDW sediments (Pacific Groundwater Group 2007a). Based on the 2006 and 2007
groundwater monitoring results, PGG recommended that groundwater monitoring be
discontinued and that the groundwater pathway be considered closed as a source to
LDW sediments (Pacific Groundwater Group 2007a). Ecology recently acknowledged
that groundwater at the subject property was not considered a potential source of
contamination to LDW sediments (Pacific Groundwater Group 2007a).

4.1.3 T-108 bank soil
In 2005, King County collected two bank soil samples (DUD-30C and DUD-31C) from
the northern portion of the T-108 shoreline (Anchor 2007) (see Appendix D, Tables D-8
and D-9). No information was provided regarding the tidal elevation at the time of
sampling, or the condition of the bank where samples were collected. PCBs
(Aroclors 1248, 1254, and 1260) were detected in both samples; however, the dry weight
(dw) concentrations were below the MTCA Method A cleanup level for unrestricted
land use. The OC-normalized concentration of total PCBs was greater than the CSL in
one of the samples. The total organic carbon content of this sample was 1.05%.
One individual low-molecular-weight PAH (LPAH) (i.e., phenanthrene) and all nine
individual high-molecular-weight PAHs (HPAHs) analyzed for were detected;
however, total LPAH and HPAH concentrations were below the SQS concentrations.
Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, silver, and zinc were all detected
in bank soil; however, only mercury was detected above the SQS (in one sample). Bis(2ethylhexyl) phthalate (BEHP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), and di-n-butylphthalate
were detected but were below the SQS. Phenol and benzoic acid were both detected
above the CSL, and 1,2-dichlorobenzene was detected in one of the two bank samples at
a concentrations below the SQS.
4.1.4 T-108 seep data
Dames and Moore collected two seep samples from the T-108 shoreline in 1984 (Dames
& Moore 1984). One of the maps was missing from this report; therefore, the sampling
locations are not known. PCBs were not detected in either seep; however, the detection
limit (1 µg/L) was above the MTCA Method A cleanup level of 0.1 µg/L. Cadmium,
chromium, lead, mercury, and zinc were each detected in at least one of the seep
samples. Arsenic was detected at 10 µg/L, which is above the MTCA Method C cleanup
level. Lead was detected at 6 µg/L in one seep and at 5 µg/L in the other seep, and
mercury was detected in one seep at 2 µg/L (no MTCA groundwater cleanup levels are
available for lead for comparison). Cadmium, chromium and zinc were all detected
below MTCA Method C cleanup levels. Details on how the seep samples were collected
(e.g., filtered or unfiltered samples) were not available.

4.2.1 Adjacent properties
Environmental investigations have been conducted on several of the properties adjacent
to T-108. Surrounding properties include T-106W and the WSLCB facility to the north, a
King County pumping station and E Marginal Way S to the east, and the General
Services Administration’s (GSA’s) Federal Center South facility to the south. The
following section briefly discusses the operational and environmental investigation
history of these adjacent properties.
4.2.1.1

Terminal 106 West – southern portion of property

Terminal 106 West (T-106W) is located across the S Oregon Street ROW to the north of
T-108. It is approximately 31 acres in size. The southern portion of the property,
currently operated as a container storage facility, is applicable to T-108 source control
because of its proximity. T-106W includes a container repair and wash area, container
lifts and stackers. The majority of the facility is covered with gravel (Port of Seattle
1992b). A portion of the northern end of the container terminal drains to the S Nevada
Street storm drain system (Ecology 2004a). Available information for this property is
summarized in Table 2.
4.2.1.2

Washington State Liquor Control Board

The WSLCB property is approximately 11 acres in size and is located across the S
Oregon Street ROW to the north of T-108. There are two warehouse buildings on the
property used for storage and distribution of alcoholic beverages and other unspecified
items (King County 2008). Very little information was available regarding the past and
current uses of the property, property ownership history, and environmental conditions
on the property; however, according to a 1992 business letter from Barbara Hinkle, Port
of Seattle Environmental Management Specialist to Barbara Ritchie, Ecology, past
practices on the property, including steam cleaning of batteries and equipment may
have caused contamination along S Oregon Street ROW (Port of Seattle 1992b).
Available information for this property is summarized in Table 2.

King County Pumping Station

King County operates a pumping station on the 0.7-acre parcel of land adjacent and to
the east of T-108. The pumping station has been in operation as part of the Elliott Bay
Interceptor (EBI) system since the late-1960s (Pinnacle Geosciences 2005; WDNR 1970).
The EBI system carries sewage and wastewater from the LDW basin and parts of West
Seattle to the West Point WWTP. No additional information was available for this
property beyond what is summarized in Table 2.
4.2.1.4

GSA’s Federal Center South – northern portion

The Federal Center South is located on a 33-ac parcel of land across Diagonal Avenue S
to the south of T-108 (Map 2). The Federal Center South facility is owned by the US
government and managed by the GSA which leases space within the center to various
government agencies and other tenants. The property was operated as a Ford Motor
plant from approximately 1931 to 1941 (Herrera 2001), and a significant historical PCB
spill occurred directly offshore of the property in 1974. Additional a information
available for this property is summarized in Table 2.
4.2.2 Adjacent streets
Two street ROWs are located adjacent to T-108. The S Oregon Street ROW is located
adjacent and to the north and the Diagonal Avenue S ROW is adjacent and to the south.
These ROWs are applicable to environmental conditions on T-108 because of their
proximity to the property. If contamination were present within the ROWs, the
possibility would exist for these contaminants to migrate to T-108 or the LDW.
Information about these two ROWs is presented in the sections that follow and is
summarized in Table 3.
4.2.2.1

S Oregon Street ROW

The S Oregon Street ROW extends westward from E Marginal Way S and terminates at
the LDW. The ROW is owned by the City and is used for commercial operations by
ConGlobal Industries and the WSLCB. The ROW has both paved and graveled portions.
Power transmission lines are also located within the S Oregon Street ROW; public
access to the roadway is restricted. The Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD and Duwamish
EOF piping networks underlay the S Oregon Street ROW.

Diagonal Avenue S ROW

The Diagonal Avenue S ROW extends southeastward from E Marginal Way S and
terminates at the LDW. It is owned by the City, and public access is allowed. The ROW
has been present since at least the 1940s based on review of historical aerial photos
(Appendix B). The exact date that the ROW was developed is not known. The street-end
is currently used as a hand-boat launch area and park. The Diagonal Avenue S street
end may have been used as a trash dumping area until the late 1980s according to Port
staff. Cans, broken glass, and other debris were observed in the soil when the area was
excavated during installation of the public access area and adjacent T-108 mitigation
area. The Diagonal Avenue S SD line is located beneath the ROW, and discharges to the
south of the ROW’s terminus. This drainage line is discussed further in Section 4.2.3.3.
Four source-tracing solids samples have been collected within the SD system; data for
these samples are discussed in Table 4 and presented in Appendix E.
4.2.3 Public outfalls
Four public outfalls discharging to the LDW are located in the vicinity of T-108 (Map 2).
The Diagonal Avenue S SD is located near the terminus of the Diagonal Avenue S
ROW, and the S Nevada Street SD is located on the northern portion of T-106W. Two
public outfalls discharge from the terminus of the S Oregon Street ROW: the
Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD, (owned jointly by the City and the County), and the
Duwamish EOF associated with the County-owned Duwamish siphon and pump
station.
4.2.3.1

Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD and associated drainage basin

The Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD outfall discharges at the terminus of the S Oregon
Street ROW at RM 0.45, approximately 50 ft from the northern portion of T-108. The
system has a combined sewer service area of 4,900 ac and the storm drain basin
encompasses about 2,620 acres (King County and SPU 2005). The drainage basin
includes a 3.6-mi portion of I-5, parts of the Central District, the Duwamish industrial
area, Rainier Valley, and Beacon Hill. The stormwater network in the Eastern Parcel of
T-108 discharges to this drainage system. The estimated medium-range stormwater
runoff from the Duwamish/Diagonal drainage basin is 1,045 million gallons per year
(mgy) (King County 2002). Recent source control sampling efforts indicate that the
average TSS values for the discharge is approximately 80 mg/L with the TSS loading
range from 241 to 414 million tons per year (MT/yr).
Between 2002 and 2006, Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) collected in-line sediment from the
Diagonal Avenue CSO/SD network in association with the Duwamish/Diagonal
sediment remediation effort. During this timeframe, portions of the overall network
were cleaned, including the Diagonal Avenue S CSO/SD mainline, the S Dakota Street
lateral, and the downstream sections of the 1st Avenue S lateral and the Denver

Duwamish EOF (pump station emergency bypass)

The Duwamish EOF is located at the terminus of S Oregon Street ROW approximately
100 ft upstream of the Diagonal Avenue S CSO/SD, and approximately at the northwest
corner of T-108. It operates as the emergency overflow for the Duwamish siphon and
pump station associated with the King County interceptor system. The Duwamish EOF
has not overflowed since 1989, and therefore, Ecology does not consider it a significant
source of recontamination to the LDW (Ecology 2004b).

Diagonal Avenue storm drain

The Diagonal Avenue SD is a 12-in-diameter steel outfall located adjacent to the south
of the terminus of the Diagonal Avenue S ROW, approximately 100 ft from the southern
end of T-108. The system drains stormwater from approximately 12 acres, including the
Diagonal Avenue S roadway west of E Marginal Way S. Most of the area drained by
this outfall is paved and used for general roadway access and miscellaneous storage by
surrounding property tenants.
4.2.3.4

S Nevada Street storm drain

The S Nevada Street SD is a 24-in.-diameter outfall located at the S Nevada Street
street end in approximately the center of the T-106W shoreline. The system is owned
and operated by the City, and drains stormwater from the northern portion of T-106W,
including the northern portion of the ConGlobal container yard. Most of the area
drained by this outfall is paved or covered with buildings and is used for storage and
transport of cargo and other goods.

Potential Pathways of Contamination and Source Control
Management

The following section briefly highlights the various pathways through which
contaminants can migrate and potentially enter the LDW; sources of contamination can
often migrate through more than one potential pathway. This section also provides
information on the source control measures and procedures that are either in place or
can be incorporated at T-108 to aid in the management of these potential contaminant
pathways. The section presents this data in a tabularized discussion with respect to the
subject property’s specific concerns relative to source control.

5.1

POTENTIAL PATHWAYS

Chemicals released to media such as air, soil, groundwater, or stormwater can migrate
within the subject property and potentially to the LDW through various pathways.
With respect to the subject property, the pathways of potential concern include
atmospheric deposition; stormwater inputs (i.e., direct discharge); groundwater
migration, and bank erosion. The following sections briefly discuss the potential
pathways of concern at the subject property.
5.1.1 Atmospheric deposition
Chemicals have the potential to be emitted to the atmosphere from both point and nonpoint sources. Point sources include various industrial facilities and operations within
the greater LDW basin (EPA 2001). T-108 is not currently regulated as a point-source of
air emissions (Thomas 2008). Non-point sources include emissions from motor vehicles,
marine vessels, and trains, as well as common materials (e.g., plastics) through offgassing. Chemicals emitted to the air may be transported over long distances, generally
in the direction of the area’s prevailing winds.
Air pollutants can be deposited through either direct or indirect deposition. Direct
deposition occurs when contaminated particulates are deposited directly onto the land
surface or the surface of a water body. Indirect deposition to water bodies occurs when
chemicals are first deposited on land or other water bodies and then transported to the
receiving water body via stormwater runoff. Contaminants can adhere to solids on the
ground or in stormwater runoff and potentially be transported to LDW sediment. The
latter process is a major concern when considering source control within the greater
Duwamish Valley; however, it is not expected to play a major role in environmental
conditions at T-108.
5.1.2 Stormwater inputs (direct discharge)
Contaminants carried in stormwater have the potential to discharge directly into the
LDW through public or private outfalls. Several outfalls serve the subject property,

-

Port=of5eattle

Terminal 108 Environmental
Conditions Report

FINAL

January 23, 2009
Page 64

including connection with the City and County owned Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD
network. Stormwater traversing across impervious surfaces can pick up chemicals
originating from accidental spills (vehicle fueling, maintenance, etc.); leaking
equipment or storage tanks; particulates deposited on the subject property through
atmospheric deposition; and general commercial/industrial operations. Stormwater
runoff in unpaved areas (surface runoff) can also collect materials (soil, debris, etc.) in
the flow stream and transport them to other parts of the subject property and
potentially into the LDW.
5.1.3 Groundwater migration
Groundwater flow in the greater Duwamish Basin is generally towards the LDW,
although the direction varies locally depending on the nature of subsurface materials,
hydrostratigraphy, local affects of tidal fluctuations, and relative proximity to the
waterway. At the subject property, groundwater has been shown to flow radially from a
relative high near the center of the site in all directions (pending time of year and tidal
stage). Contaminants in groundwater have the potential to migrate directly into the
LDW (seeps, shoreline discharge) or through other pathways (infiltration into
underground stormwater piping). Leaking or spilled chemicals, as discussed above, can
also infiltrate into groundwater in areas without pervious surfaces (western parcel). The
determination of whether a chemical identified in groundwater will reach sediment and
surface water is a complex process. In this case however, Ecology has acknowledged
that recent monitoring has shown that groundwater at the subject property is not
considered a potential source of contamination to LDW sediment.
5.1.4 Bank erosion
Soil in unprotected shoreline banks is susceptible to erosion by disturbances from
human activities, wind, surface water runoff, tidal exchange, and groundwater
discharge. Shoreline armoring and vegetation significantly reduce bank erosion, and
steeper banks are particularly susceptible. Much of the subject property’s shoreline is
armored and covered with vegetation; however, some areas remain susceptible to bank
erosion. Contaminants in the subject property’s surficial and subsurface soil
(originating from non-native fill or historical site operations, etc.) may exist at elevated
concentrations in the shoreline bank. This contaminated material does have the
potential to migrate to the waterway.

5.2

HISTORY OF THE DUWAMISH/DIAGONAL SOURCE CONTROL AREA

As mentioned in the previous sections, T-108 has been identified as a property of
potential concern for source control with respect to the greater Duwamish/Diagonal
Source Control Area (SCA). The sediments near the Duwamish/Diagonal outfalls were
originally identified as a priority cleanup area by the Elliott Bay/Duwamish Restoration
Program in the mid-1990s because of contamination associated with the Duwamish EOF
and Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD outfalls. The area was identified again through the

-

LDW Remedial Investigation as an early action area. Dredging and capping actions
were implemented through the Elliott Bay/Duwamish Restoration Program beginning
in November 2003. Ecology prepared a SCAP for the Duwamish/Diagonal SCA in
December 2004. A sediment remediation project closure report was prepared in 2005
(King County et al. 2005b).
Studies conducted in 1994 and 1996 identified PCBs, mercury, BEHP, and BBP as the
principal chemicals of concern for the Duwamish/Diagonal SCA area near the outfalls
(Ecology 2004a; King County 1997). Table 5 presents the chemicals that have been
identified in surface sediment within the Duwamish/Diagonal SCA in-water boundary
during the LDW Remedial Investigation effort. The chemicals included on this table had
at least one exceedance of its associated SMS criteria for surface sediment, as applicable,
prior to sediment removal and capping activities.

contaminated sediments from a 7-ac area in the LDW and placing an engineered cap
over the remaining sediment. The dredging was conducted between November 2003
and January 2004; the sediment cap was installed between January and March 2004
(see Map 2). A follow-up action was conducted in February 2005 involving the
placement of a thin layer of sand around the dredged area in response to elevated
chemical concentrations resulting from the previous dredging activity (Ecology 2004a)
(Map 2).

SOURCE CONTROL MANAGEMENT TOOLS

A wide variety of source control management tools are available for use at the subject
property. These tools vary greatly in management and application, but all are aimed to
help reduce or eliminate the potential impact from contaminant sources and their
associated pathways on the subject property. In many instances, the components of
these tools and source control measures overlap with one another in their intent or
physical application. An effective long-term source control strategy will require
incorporation of a mixture of these options, with specific focus on the operations at the
subject property and types of contamination and pathways of concern. Some of these
tools are already in place at the subject property; nevertheless, further consideration of
additional application of these tools would continue to promote the goal of an effective,
long-term source control strategy at the subject property. This strategy would include
the compliance monitoring necessary to determine the effectiveness and performance of
these tools.
Regulatory and compliance programs overseen by federal, state, and local jurisdictions
offer numerous possible tools that could be implemented at the subject property under
various circumstances. Table 6 presents a list of some of the available and relevant tools
and source control measures that will be combined to establish and promote effective
source control at the subject property. Many other source control tools exist and may be
applicable to the site, especially with changes in operations or future development
activities. For example, programs managed under the Toxic Substance Control Act
(TSCA) could be applicable if hazardous waste associated with the former PCB disposal
pits is encountered during site improvement work. Additionally, if future operations
generated wastewater requiring off-site treatment, King County’s Industrial Waste pretreatment authorizations would represent an additional source control tool. Table 6 is
not meant to be a comprehensive list of all tools available but those most appropriate
for the current conditions and operations at the subject property.

evaluation process will be an important aspect of the SCSPs that will be prepared after
finalization of this documentation.
One of the major tools available to help assess and manage stormwater concerns at the
subject property is the NPDES permit program. As discussed in previous sections,
stormwater discharges at T-108 are regulated under two NPDES permits: the Municipal
Stormwater permit, under which the Port of Seattle is a secondary permittee, and the
industrial stormwater general permit recently obtained by the tenant, ConGlobal
Industries, in April 2008.
As required under the permit, the Port of Seattle has implemented a Stormwater
Management Program (SWMP) that includes:
•

an education program, including training on Best Management Practices (BMPs),
for tenants and Port employees aimed at reducing behaviors and practices that
can adversely affect stormwater quality

•

a program to identify, eliminate, and prevent illicit discharges and spills to the
stormwater system

•

a program of information gathering that allows for adequate stormwater
management planning, priority setting, and program evaluation including maps
of properties, drainage basins, stormwater conveyance lines, and outfalls

•

a program for documenting operation and maintenance activities for stormwater
facilities

•

field inspections to inspect for illicit discharges at all known outfalls covered
under the permit; at least one third of all outfalls should be inspected each year

•

procedures for removing illicit discharges and documenting activities associated
with monitoring these discharges

•

a spill response plan

•

a program for management of construction site stormwater runoff and postconstruction stormwater management for new development and redevelopment

•

an operation and maintenance program for all catch basins, stormwater
treatment, and flow control facilities

•

a long-term monitoring program to characterize stormwater runoff at a limited
number of locations1, evaluate stormwater management practices, and evaluate
BMPs

1 The facility selected for monitoring under the Port’s SWMP is used for different operational purposes

than T-108 and is not located in the LDW; monitoring data from this facility will most likely not be
directly applicable to conditions at T-108.

These elements of the Port’s SWMP are aimed to help in the protection of stormwater
quality at all Port terminals and facilities, including T-108.
As of April 2008, ConGlobal has maintained a general industrial NPDES stormwater
permit (No. SO3-010569) and a SWPPP for management of stormwater discharges from
the container terminal to the Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD system. The chassis repair
area and equipment fueling areas on the Eastern Parcel are covered by the NPDES
permit and SWPPP; the portions of T-108 used only for storage, office space, and
parking are not covered.
As part of the general industrial stormwater permit, ConGlobal:
•

maintains an SPCC plan to be implemented in the case of a hazardous materials
release

•

implements BMPs to reduce stormwater pollution

•

inspects the stormwater system infrastructure

•

samples stormwater and analyzes samples for total zinc, oil and grease,
turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), and pH, as well as total copper and total
lead if the benchmark for zinc is exceeded during two consecutive sampling
events

•

provides discharge monitoring reports to Ecology to report the results of the
inspection and sampling program

As with the Port’s program, ConGlobal’s NPDES permit, SWPPP, and SPCC plan are in
place to reduce the potential for stormwater contamination resulting from industrial
activities conducted at the facility. While the permit and plans limit and control the
discharge of a number of pollutants, they do not necessarily control contaminants that
pose a threat to LDW sediments, such as PCBs, phthalates, arsenic, mercury, and PAHs
(Thomas 2008). The combinations of these established regulatory and compliance
requirements with the other “grab bag” of tools presented in Table 6 (BMPs,
remediation programs, capital improvements, institutional controls, etc.) will be further
evaluated in the following sections with respect to their potential application and use at
the subject property to lessen or potentially eliminate the threat from the potential
pathways of contamination.

T-108 ONSITE POTENTIAL PATHWAYS OF CONTAMINATION AND SOURCE
CONTROL

Several potential onsite contaminant migration pathways were identified at the subject
property through the completion of the environmental conditions review effort.
Controlling these potential pathways and sources can decrease the potential for them to
impact other media on the property or ultimately the LDW. Many of these identified
pathways and their associated contaminant sources can be either eliminated entirely or
controlled to some degree through implementation of various source control tools and

procedures and adherence to the requirements of regulatory programs currently
governing operations at the subject property.
Table 7 provides information on the potential pathways and sources of contamination
identified on the T-108 property, and briefly identifies the various source control tools
(with reference to those discussed in Table 6) that are either in place or that can be
implemented to help control each pathway. Not all pathways and corresponding
chemical sources have the same relative potential for impact to area media and the
LDW. The table provides general information on chemicals that can be potentially
associated with each source type.
Information on the table takes into consideration both historical source areas and
potential ongoing sources based on the current conditions of the property, and expected
long-term tenant operations (cargo container storage, chassis storage and repair,
miscellaneous maintenance). The table also provides general information on data gaps
related to these potential pathways and sources. Fulfilling these data gaps may require
further study or characterization to more fully understand their potential for
contributing contaminants to the LDW, as well as options for controlling them.

Contamination documented at adjacent properties also has the potential to migrate into

contamination was discussed in Section 4.2; data summaries for many of these facilities
are provided in Appendix E.
Since these pathways are outside of the T-108 property boundary, options for control or
elimination of these sources and pathways are highly limited. However, source control
management practices, standard operating procedures, and existing permit monitoring
requirements can be utilized to greatly reduce the potential impact from these offsite
sources.
Table 8 highlights some of the potential offsite sources and the routes of migration onto
the subject property. As with the information included in Table 7, the information in

valuable information on strategies within the greater
Duwamish Valley to assess and manage impacts from
atmospheric deposition.
Operational BMPs – Good housekeeping practices
(pavement sweeping, catch basin cleanout, etc.) can
help prevent contaminants in atmospheric materials
from entering the stormwater network.

Regulatory and Compliance Programs – Permit
required monitoring could be used to assess potential
impact from offsite materials deposited on the subject
property and transported into the stormwater pathway.
However, differentiation between onsite contributions
and those introduced by offsite equipment would be
very difficult to ascertain.
Operational BMPs – Good housekeeping practices
(pavement sweeping, catch basin cleanout, etc.) and
an established equipment/truck washing program in a
dedicated area at the subject property (with
appropriate wash-water collection systems) would be
the most practical way of addressing this potential
contaminant pathway at the subject property.
Environmental Investigation – Additional
characterization of groundwater conditions around the
perimeter of the subject property would provide useful
information on the quality of groundwater potentially
entering the property; however, groundwater flow
patterns in many areas of the subject property have
been shown to be existing the subject property toward
neighboring facilities.
Remediation Programs – In-situ treatment of
groundwater at the property boundary, or potential
containment pumping of impacted groundwater would
limit its influence on subsurface groundwater
conditions at the site; however, given the level of
contamination identified to date, this is an expensive
and relatively impractical approach to address this
potential pathway of concern.

Conclusions and Recommendations

Terminal 108 has had numerous owners and operators over the course of the last
hundred years. Operations have included wastewater/stormwater treatment, materials
storage and transfer, PCB-contaminated sediment treatment and disposal, and most
recently container and chassis storage and miscellaneous maintenance efforts. Upgrades
and improvements to subject property infrastructure have occurred with each change of
operation at the site and have greatly influenced the overall shape and layout of the
subject property.
This diverse operational history has created a complex list of potential environmental
concerns that must be considered in the formulation and implementation of an effective
long-term source control strategy. Numerous source control tools and management
procedures are available for consideration and incorporation into an effective strategy
for the subject property. Requirements of a variety of regulatory and compliance
programs, many already applicable to operations at the subject property (NPDES
permits, etc.), can be utilized to reduce and potentially eliminate contaminants from
impacting the subject property while at the same time assessing potential impacts from
other onsite and offsite sources. Focused characterization efforts and remediation
programs can potentially remove or contain impacted media at the subject property
while operational and physical BMPs (good housekeeping practices, worker education,
erosion control, etc.) can be incorporated as standard operating procedure at the subject
property. Most importantly capital improvement initiatives (utility upgrades, paving,
infrastructure improvements, etc.) can greatly reduce the potential for impact from
upland sources to LDW sediment.
Environmental media at the subject property (i.e., surface and subsurface soil,
groundwater) have been sampled and analyzed for the last three decades. Impacted soil
at the subject property may have originated from past onsite operations (wastewater
treatment, PCB-impacted sediment treatment and disposal) or may have been brought
to the site during filling and grading historically associated with the construction of the
LDW. Although the continued characterization and potential remediation (i.e.,
excavation) of these impacted materials should be considered for the site (especially in
consideration of bank soil in the Western Parcel), current and long-term operational use
at the subject property makes this approach practical for only small portions of the site.
With these considerations, ongoing infrastructure improvements and applicable
engineering controls (paving, containment, etc.) are a more practical and effective
strategy for the subject property.
Recent groundwater investigation reports for the subject property (Pacific Groundwater
Group 2006b, 2007a) have indicated that low concentrations of contaminants have been
identified in samples, but at reporting levels below relevant regulatory cleanup
standards. Subsequent to this reporting, Ecology acknowledged that groundwater at T-

Conditions Report

Page 79

108 is not currently considered as a potential source for impact to neighboring LDW
sediment. Nevertheless, groundwater migration potential (from onsite and offsite) must
be considered if a long-term source control strategy implemented at the site is to be
effective.
The stormwater pathway’s potential to transport contaminants across the subject
property and to the LDW will need to be a chief focus during development and
implementation of an effective source control strategy. Stormwater has the potential to
transport a wide array of contaminants whose origins are from both onsite (spills, leaks,
accidental discharges, etc.) and offsite (atmospheric deposition, runoff from adjacent
properties, etc.). Numerous options are available to help reduce this pathway’s
potential of impact including the aspects of the existing NPDES programs (education,
spill prevention, proper materials handling and storage, and inspection and oversight).
Adherence to the requirements of the Port’s and tenant’s NPDES permits will reduce
the potential for chemicals to leave the property and impact the LDW.
Nevertheless, source control programs will only be effective if they consider the “big
picture,” including understanding potential future uses of the property (both by its
tenants and owner), and the potential for outside sources and pathways to impact the
subject property. The understanding of the current conditions of the subject property
provided in this documentation, including (but not limited to) the property’s geology,
hydrogeology, historical operations and practices, environmental investigation history,
and future development plans (as applicable) will have to be considered in order to
develop an effective strategy for the site.
The SCSPs that will now be completed will expand upon the information included in
this documentation (particularly concerning potential pathways and selected source
control measures/tools) and provide an overall strategy for continued source control
management at the subject property. The plans will take into consideration the
regulatory requirements already established as well as other measures and techniques
that can be used to ensure that the strategies are proactive and can adjust to the
potential changing operational and environmental conditions of the subject property.

Appendix B. Historical Aerial Photograph Review
A historical aerial photo review was conducted to document changes in site use
and layout at T-108 over time. Photos from 1936 (King County 2008), 1946 (Aerial
Photo Publishers), 1953 (Photographer unknown), 1961 (Pacific Aerial Surveys),
1970 (WDNR), 1981 (WDNR), 1990 (Metro Aerial 1991), and 1995 (WDNR) were
available. The parcel boundaries for both the Eastern and Western Parcels of T108 and the outline of the present-day shoreline are overlaid on the aerial
photographs for reference. In addition to the aerial photos collected for this
investigation, photos from 1976 and 1977 showing the central and western
portions of the property were also available from an existing report by King
County (King County et al. 2005).
The 1936 aerial photograph shows the property undeveloped with a tidal
channel located on the eastern and northern portions of the Eastern Parcel. The
shoreline extends further into the LDW than the present-day shoreline. By 1946,
the Diagonal Way STP had been developed. Two large, round clarifiers are
visible in the photograph, with two smaller round digesters to the west, and
three or four rectangular-shaped sludge-drying beds to the west of the digesters.
A control house is located to the east of the clarifiers. The STP outfall is visible
approximately midway along the property shoreline, and lumber is being stored
offshore within the LDW.
A report by King County indicated that the tidal channel on the north end of the
property received untreated sewage from a small sewer system located to the
northeast of the Diagonal Way STP (King County et al. 2005). What appears to be
a small structure is visible along the eastern boundary of the Eastern Parcel in the
aerial photograph from 1946. This may represent the small sewer system,
however this could not be confirmed during the course of this investigation.
The site layout observed in the 1953 photograph appears similar to the 1946
layout. In the 1961 photo, a large sludge pond is visible to the west of the
clarifiers and digesters; additional sludge ponds may be present to the north of
the treatment plant. A large parking lot has been installed on the southern
portion of the property.
In the aerial photograph from 1970, an additional structure has been added to the
northeast corner of the Eastern Parcel. According to a historical map by the Kroll
Map Co. contained in a historical report of site conditions conducted for Chevron
by TAMS (1992), this may have been a pump house. Other changes from 1961
apparent on the 1970 photograph include filling of the tidal channel, clearing and
grading on the northern and eastern portions of the site, and a reduction in the
size of the open sludge pond located to the west of the clarifiers and digesters.
In the 1981 aerial photograph, the STP has been removed and the shoreline along
the northern portion of the property has been dredged. It appears that the paved
parking area on the southern portion of the property and an area in the center of

the Eastern Parcel are being used to store shipping containers or similar large
objects.
The Lafarge facility is apparent on the Western Parcel of the property in the
aerial photograph from 1990. The pipeline dock, cement silos, and truck turnaround area are all distinguishable. The Eastern Parcel appears to be primarily
vacant except for a few equipment storage areas visible on the central and
southern portions of the parcel. The shape of the mitigation area on the southern
portion of the shoreline is also apparent, and lumber is no longer being stored
offshore of the property.
In the 1995 aerial photograph, the T-108 container terminal is visible on the
Eastern Parcel of the property, while the Lafarge facility remains on the Western
Parcel. The mitigation area appears to be more fully developed than in the 1990
photo as vegetation is now visible.
The aerial photographs with coverage of the western portion of the property
acquired from the Duwamish/Diagonal CSO/SD Cleanup Study Report (King
County et al. 2005) provides information on site conditions at T-108 in the mid1970s. It was during this time period that the Diagonal Way STP was
decommissioned, and also that two pits were excavated on the property to store
and treat PCB-contaminated sediment dredged from the LDW. Based on these
photographs, it is known that the sediment pits were present on the property in
1976 but had been filled by 1977. The Diagonal Way STP appears to have been
decommissioned either in the latter half of 1976 of in 1977. The newly-dredged
shoreline along the northern portion of the property is also clearly visible in the
1977 photograph. Overall, the historical aerial photographs reviewed during this
investigation support the accounts of the property history reviewed in other
reports and records.
