Plastic Sales & Service

SITE DESCRIPTION

The Plastic Sales & Service Inc Site is located at 6860 and 6870 Woodlawn Avenue Northeast, Seattle, Washington in the Greenlake neighborhood. One building is currently on the site, the Dry Cleaner Building next to the Former Laundry Building which was demolished in early 2009. The Former Sunshine Laundry and Dry Cleaning Company operated on the site from the 1930s to 1970s. Now Hearthstone owns the former Laundry Building Property and Karkrie LLC owns the Dry Cleaner Building Property. Plastic Sales & Service Inc currently operates in the Dry Cleaner Building.

Hearthstone plans to build a four story building at the Former Laundry Building Property. Ecology anticipates that the interim action plan required by the Agreed Order will put forth a proposal for addressing contamination located at the Laundry Building Property in conjunction with construction of the new building.

At this site, while the investigation is ongoing, the known potential chemicals of concern for soil, soil vapor, and groundwater are PCE, Trichloroethene, Cis-1,2-dichloroethene, Trans-1,2 dichloroethene, and Vinyl Chloride

Ecology and The Lutheran Retirement Home of Greater Seattle doing business as The Hearthstone Retirement Living (The Hearthstone), Plastic Sales & Service Inc, Karkrie LLC, and Ruben and Patricia Rael are entering into a legal agreement called an Agreed Order. Under this proposed Agreed Order, the PLPs have agreed to take on lead responsibilities for certain actions, recognizing that ultimately all PLPs are jointly and severally liable to Ecology for work at the Site. Plastic Sales & Service Inc, Karkrie LLC, and Ruben and Patricia Rael agree to lead the following actions:

• Complete Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) report, which will present the results of the investigation and evaluate the cleanup alternatives.
• Prepare a draft Cleanup Action Plan (CAP), which will use the RI/FS information to describe a preferred cleanup action.

Under this proposed Agreed Order, The Hearthstone Retirement Living agrees to lead the following actions:

• Prepare an Interim Action Work Plan.
• Conduct an Interim Cleanup Action at Former Laundry Building Property.

The draft Public Participation Plan outlines and describes the tools that Ecology will use to inform the public about site activities, and it identifies opportunities for the community to become involved in this process.
