Draft documents for review

The following documents are available for review and comment: 

• Draft Remedial Investigation (RI): Available in two volumes: RI Vol. 1A and RI Vol. 1B.

• Supplemental Feasibility Study (SFS)
• Draft Cleanup Action Plan (dCAP)
• Enforcement Order
• Draft Agreed Order (AO)
• Draft Permit Lite
• Draft State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Checklist
• Draft Public Participation Plan (PPP)

Purpose and background of these documents

• Draft Remedial Investigation (RI): The RI studies the site conditions and contamination so the FS and SFS can compare cleanup actions.
• Feasibility Study (FS), and Supplemental Feasibility Study (SFS): The FS and SFS compare cleanup methods for the site. The SFS was modified by four letters: Aug. 2016; July 2017; May 2019; Sept 2019. 
• Draft Cleanup Action Plan (dCAP): We prepared this dCAP that describes the cleanup actions and sets the cleanup standards. 
• Enforcement Order: Boeing asked us to use an Enforcement Order to implement the Cleanup Action Plan.
• Draft Agreed Order (AO): Boeing and Ecology decided to use an Agreed Order to implement the Cleanup Action Plan for the portion of the site called the Bomarc property so it can be sold. 
• Draft Permit Lite: A Permit Lite is a “Dangerous Waste Corrective Action Permit,” that allows environmental cleanup at the site to continue. 
• Draft State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Checklist: We use SEPA during site cleanups to find and evaluate large, negative environmental impacts that could result from a proposed action. Our evaluation of this SEPA checklist resulted in an Associated Determination of Non-Significance.
• Draft Public Participation Plan (PPP): The PPP encourages comment and involvement in cleanup decisions from the community.
