Ecology proposes to reissue the permit.<\/p>\n<p>Ecology seeks public comment on the periodic review and the draft permit with its application through Oct. 15.<\/p>\n<p>Ecology reviews sites that have undergone cleanup if the cleanup included a special condition that must be maintained on the property. The reviews occur every five years.<\/p>\n<p>Groundwater at the site is contaminated with trichloroethene (TCE), a solvent, and other compounds from the breadkdown of TCE, including vinyl chloride. An underground wall of non-permeable clay surrounds the area, which is capped by asphalt paving. Groundwater is pumped into a pre-treatment system, then discharged to the sanitary sewer.<\/p>\n<p>Documents for public review are available at:<\/p>\n<p>&#8226; Ecology&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/fortress.wa.gov\/ecy\/gsp\/Sitepage.aspx?csid=58\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8226; Kent Regional Library, 212 2nd Ave. N.<\/p>\n<p>&#8226; Ecology&rsquo;s Northwest Regional Office, 3190 160th Ave. SE, Bellevue.
