The proposed Order requires Intalco Aluminum LLC and Petrogas Pacific LLC to develop a Remedial Investigation Work Plan, conduct a Remedial Investigation, implement a Demolition Interim Action Work Plan, conduct other interim actions if required or agreed to by Ecology, develop a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study Report, and develop a Draft Cleanup Action Plan to select cleanup alternatives.

The proposed Public Participation Plan describes ways Ecology will inform the public about contamination investigations and cleanup options throughout the cleanup process. Ecology encourages the public to learn about and get involved in decision-making opportunities. This plan identifies how and when the public can get involved during different stages of the investigation and cleanup of contamination.

The proposed Demolition Interim Action Work Plan provides a plan for cleanup activities that may occur during the demolition and removal of the old smelter infrastructure (buildings, pipes, storage tanks, etc). The plan specifies how contaminated soil will be identified during demolition and how the contaminated soil will be removed to reduce potential threats to human health and the environment prior to the remedial investigation and feasibility study in the Order.
