Former Shell Oil Tank Farm

A PUGET SOUND INITIATIVE site – Reaching the goal of a healthy, sustainable Puget Sound now and forever

SITE DESCRIPTION

The Former Shell Oil Tank Farm was used to distribute gasoline, diesel, oil, and other chemical products. Gasoline, diesel, and heavy oil contamination has been found in soil and groundwater samples collected around the site.  The amount of contamination in the soil samples was above Washington State cleanup levels. Six above ground storage tanks were removed from the site in the 1980’s, and soil was removed in 1987 and 2007.  However, the amount of remaining contamination is unknown.  The site is currently used for boat trailer parking.
