The NuStar Energy L.P.
 SITE DESCRIPTION
The NuStar Energy L.P. site is located at the Port of Vancouver Terminal #2,
2565 NW Harborside Drive in Vancouver and is next to the Columbia River (south
of site, see map on this page). Since 1998, ST Services (now operating as NuStar
Energy L.P.) has operated the site as a ship terminal that receives, stores and
transfers bulk chemicals and fuel. The property is owned by the Port of
Vancouver and is leased by ST Services.
Various materials (including fertilizer, jet fuel, biodiesel and wood
preservatives) are received and shipments occur by pipeline, railroad cars and
trucks at the terminal. Other operations at the site include blending, packaging
and storage of chemicals.
Prior to 1998, the terminal was owned and operated by GATX. During GATX
ownership, contamination of soil and groundwater was discovered on site.
Initial investigations to determine extent of contamination found several
contaminants above MTCA cleanup levels including the chlorinated solvents
perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE). Chlorinated solvents have
not been handled on the site since 1994.
In 1998, ST Services (after purchasing GATX) entered into an Agreed Order
with Ecology to complete a Remedial Investigation, Feasibility Study and Interim
Actions.
Before these activities could be completed, Kaneb, the parent company of ST
Services, was purchased by Valero L.P. who then assumed responsibility for
cleanup of this site. Valero recently changed its name to NuStar Energy L.P.. An
Agreed Order has been drafted to continue the investigation and characterize the
extent of contamination at this site.
