| Abstract | Long Description |
In 1989, a major release of gasoline and diesel, allegedly from severed fuel lines, took place at Cornet Bay Marina on Whidbey Island in Washington State. Contaminated groundwater transported the petroleum products to the bay, where sheen could be seen on the surface for several years. The underground storage tanks were removed, and the current fuel tanks are contained in an underground vault. Soil and groundwater were analyzed in 1995, 1996, and 2003 and contamination was found to some degree property-wide. For this current study, intertidal sediment, groundwater seeps, surface water, and shellfish samples will be collected. Data will be used to determine (1) if upland contamination is continuing to migrate off site and adversely impact the adjacent intertidal area and (2) if sediments have been impacted to the extent that cleanup is required. |
