Photo: BP Harbor Island Tank Farm (click on photo for larger view) BP West Coast Products (previously known as the ARCO Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, also known as the ARCO Tank Farm), is an industrial site located at 1652 SW Lander Street on Harbor Island in Seattle, King County.  The facility, which consists of Terminal Plant 1 and Terminal Plant 2, was constructed in the 1930s and has been in operation under a variety of owners since that time. ARCO assumed operation of the facility in the 1940s and ‘50s. 

Harbor Island itself is a Superfund site and is on the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Priorities List.  The ARCO cleanup, although located on Harbor Island, was delegated to the state and was ranked under the state process.  It is currently ranked a “2” on the state’s Hazardous Sites List (a rank of “1” is the highest assessed risk and “5” is the lowest).  Soil and groundwater at various areas within the facility were contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons.  A primary focus of the remedy is containing contamination in the bulkhead area to prevent it from entering surface water
