Site Register
The Site Register is a newsletter we publish about every two weeks. It contains information about cleanup activities, public meetings, public comment periods, and policy and rule changes.
We aim to provide timely information about contaminated site cleanups and opportunities for you to participate in that process. We use the Site Register as one way to meet this goal.
For more information contact Sarah Kellington (360-407-7466, Sarah.Kellington@ecy.wa.gov) or read the Site Register Focus Sheet.
Hazardous Sites List
The Hazardous Sites List contains about 2,000 sites that we have assessed and ranked using the Washington Ranking Method, as well as National Priorities List sites. Twice a year, we publish a list of additions, removals, and changes in site status. This update goes out as a special edition of the Site Register. Every two years, we publish the latest list in the Model Toxics Control Accounts Biennial Report of Expenditures.
The Hazardous Sites List is required by Washington state’s Cleanup Rule, WAC 173-340-330.
Find data with Cleanup and Tank Search
Cleanup and Tank Search is intended to help you quickly retrieve site information, reports, and data. You can search for a specific site or find all the sites that meet certain criteria, like all the sites in a county or with a particular contaminant. You can also share your results and export them to excel, csv, json, and xml formats.
Cleanup site information
The All Statewide Cleanup Sites list includes all current and former cleanup sites in Washington. It provides site information at-a-glance, as well as links to the downloadable Cleanup Site Details Report, available public documents, and cleanup webpage for each site. You can filter by county, contaminant, site status, and whether or not the site is in the Voluntary Cleanup Program or has institutional controls.
There are also pre-filtered subsets of the statewide list available:
- Brownfields sites list
Brownfields are abandoned properties where actual or suspected contamination makes redevelopment difficult.
- Confirmed and Suspected Contaminated Sites List
All sites that are undergoing cleanup, or awaiting further investigation or cleanup.
- Environmental Covenants Registry
Some sites have environmental covenants or deed restrictions that limit certain uses of the property to protect people from exposure or maintain the integrity of the cleanup. For example, a covenant might prohibit drilling a well or using the property for homes. You can filter this list by type of restriction and legal mechanism.
- Leaking Underground Storage Tanks List
Information on underground storage tank (UST) facilities that have leaked.
- No Further Action sites list
These sites were on the Confirmed and Suspected Contaminated Sites List and have received a No Further Action (NFA) decision.
If you only want the Cleanup Site Detail Report pdf for a site, you can search for it directly with the Cleanup Site Details Report search.
Underground storage tank information
The Regulated USTs, Active & Inactive Facilities list provides information about operational and closed Underground Storage Tanks (USTs). You can search by ID, tag number, or site name, and filter by tank status, stored substance, or county. Each result includes a link to the UST System Summary Report.
If you only want the Underground Storage System Summary pdf, you can search for it directly with the Underground Storage Tank Details Report search tool. Results from this search cannot be exported.
