Interim Actions
Several interim actions (partial cleanups) were completed between
1993 and 2006.
- Ennis Creek Finishing Room Area:
Ennis Creek was polluted by petroleum and polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) from leaking hydraulic fluid. Between 1989 and 2002,
Rayonier took several actions to clean up this area. More than
8,300 tons of contaminated soils were removed. Testing through the
end of 1999 showed that groundwater and surface water met state
cleanup standards.
- Former Fuel Oil Tank No. 2:
In 1989 and 1990, petroleum was found in the soil beneath and near
the former 2.3 million gallon tank. The tank was dismantled and
removed in 1993 and 2,000 tons of petroleum-impacted soil was
removed from the footprint of the tank. A further interim action in
2002 addressed the area between the former Fuel Oil Tank and the Hog
Fuel Pile. A total of 5,137 tons of contaminated soil were
removed.
- Former Machine Shop: When the
Machine Shop was demolished in 1999, oil was noticed on the floor,
concrete supports, and in the soil below. Petroleum-contaminated
soils were later excavated from between support piers under the
building. A total of 984 tons of soil and concrete were removed.
- Former Hog Fuel
Pile: In 2001, approximately 2,700 cubic yards of
petroleum-impacted wood residue was removed from the base of the
former Hog Fuel Pile. In 2002, additional contaminated soil was
removed from the southwest corner of the Hog Fuel Pile.
- Former Fuel Oil Tank
No. 1: A total of 7,979 tons of petroleum-impacted
soil was removed from the locations of the former Fuel Oil Tank No 1
and the former Wood Mill in 2006. The interim action was also aimed
at removing compounds associated with petroleum hydrocarbons like
PCBs, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and naphthalene.
- Former Wood Mill: During the
Remedial Investigation, contamination was found in the soil and
subsurface in the former Wood Mill area. An interim action to
remove soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, PCBs, PAHs and
naphthalene was done at the same time as an interim action around
the location of former Fuel Oil Tank No. 1. A total of 7,979 tons
of petroleum-impacted soil were removed from the two locations.
- Former Spent Sulfite Liquor Lagoon: In 2001,
approximately 4,800 tons of soil and clay liner were removed and the
area was backfilled with clean soil from the berm. Excess berm
material was removed.
- Former Log Pond: Approximately 2500 sunken
logs were removed from the log pond in 1998.
- Former Transformer Rooms: Between 1997 and
1999, testing was completed and PCB contaminated concrete and soil
from seven former transformer room locations was removed.
