Background

The Sundberg Gravel Pit cleanup site is on Cooper Point Road NW in Olympia. From at least 1960 through the 1990s, the site was used as a log storage yard and gravel pit. It is now vacant, undeveloped land covered by shrubs and trees.

Preliminary investigations identified petroleum and carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil. Petroleum and metals were found in goundwater. 

Digital documents are available on our Sundberg Gravel Pit cleanup webpage. Printed documents are available at the Olympia Timberland Regional Library, 313 8th Ave SE, Olympia, and by appointment at our Ecology Lacey office at 300 Desmond Drive SE.
