Samples collected in the marine sediments were found to contain wood waste, as well as contaminants including metals, PAHs, PCBs, SVOCs, and dioxins/furans. Ecology and K-C have developed an Agreed Order to investigate and clean up the Site uplands. Soil cleanups conducted as interim actions have resulted in the removal of about 40,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil.  e upland investigation is on-going.  e in-water area will be addressed as part of a separate cleanup agreement for East Waterway.
