Reid's Automotive Inc.

SITE DESCRIPTION

The Reid's Automotive site (formerly Art’s Auto Doctors) was primarily operated as an auto repair facility since it was developed in 1975. Soil contamination was discovered in 2002. Petroleum hydrocarbons were detected above MTCA standards. An underground storage tank was also discovered on site. It contained oily water and had contaminated the surrounding soil. No evidence of groundwater contamination was found.

A site hazard assessment was conducted in 2005 and the site was ranked a two (one represents the highest relative risk and a five the lowest relative risk). The site was then listed on the Hazardous Sites List.

Reid Automotive entered the Voluntary Cleanup Program in 2007. Cleanup activities at the site have included excavation of gasoline and heavy oil range hydrocarbon contaminated soil and removal of an underground storage tank and its piping.

• The site is no longer a threat to human health or the environment.
• The cleanup actions at the site meet MTCA standards.
• No further action is needed.

The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) plans to remove Reid’s Automotive site from the Hazardous Sites List. Ecology is accepting comments on the remediation reports from April 14 through May 14, 2008. Public comments will be considered in removing Reid Automotive from the Hazardous Sites List.
