The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is working with the City of Gig Harbor (the City) to clean up the Eddon Boat Park site.  It will then be developed as a public park. The site is a 0.95 acres lot located at 3711 and 3805 Harborview Drive in Gig Harbor. It consists of both the upland property and the in-water areas that are contaminated

Site History

The Eddon Boat Park site was used as a residence, boatyard, and boathouse from the 1940s until the City bought it in 2004. In 2004, voters approved a $3.5 million bond for the City to purchase the property. Between 2005 and 2007, the City investigated soils, groundwater, and sediments at the site. This work was supported by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields grant  and technical assistance from Ecology’s Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP). Currently, the City is working with Ecology’s formal cleanup program to finishing planning site cleanup.
