The release contaminated soil and groundwater with petroleum compounds.<\/p>\n<p>The pipeline&rsquo;s owner, Olympic Pipe Line Company, removed more than 1,950 tons of contaminated soil in 1989, according to a state DOE media release. From 2004 to 2014 the company sampled and monitored groundwater, and pumped out about 168 gallons of contaminated groundwater. Follow-up soil sampling shows that the site meets state cleanup standards. The cleanup was conducted under Ecology&rsquo;s Voluntary Cleanup Program.<\/p>\n<p>Ecology has determined that the property no longer poses a threat to human health or the environment and meets the requirements for removal from the department&rsquo;s Hazardous Sites List. Before doing so, Ecology invites public comment through Jan. 3.<\/p>\n<p>For details and contact information on this cleanup, please see Ecology&rsquo;s fact sheet and <a href=\"https:\/\/fortress.wa.gov\/ecy\/gsp\/Sitepage.aspx?csid=3070\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"link\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>People with comments or technical questions may direct them to Dale Myers, Site Manager, Dept. of Ecology, 3190 160th Ave. SE, Bellevue WA 98008-5452; or 425-649-4446; or Dale.Myers@ecy.wa.gov.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The state Department of Ecology proposes to remove a Kent property from a statewide list of contaminated sites because it has been shown to meet state cleanup standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-24905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24905"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24905"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24905\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24905"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=24905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
