Unocal Bulk Plant #0601, Port Angeles

SITE DESCRIPTION

Unocal Bulk Plant #0601 is located at 738 West Marine Drive in Port Angeles. The former bulk plant contained underground and above ground storage tanks, and equipment for dispensing petroleum and loading trucks. Past petroleum leaks polluted soil and groundwater at the site. Now Ecology and Union Oil Company of California (Chevron) have agreed to begin a cleanup process.

Site Background

Investigation and Cleanup Process

Under the formal cleanup process, Chevron must:

• Take immediate cleanup actions to protect the health of humans and the environment. These are also called “interim actions”.
• Investigate the type and extent of contamination, and cleanup options. This is the RI/FS.
• Clean up the site to meet state standards under the Model Toxics Control Act (70.105D RCW).
