LEGAL NOTICE

EPHRATA LANDFILL SITE

DRAFT AGREED ORDER

For an Interim Remedial Action Plan,

A Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study, and a SEPA DNS

The Washington State Department of Ecology invites you to review and comment on three documents that will guide cleanup of groundwater contamination at the Ephrata Landfill. The documents include a draft Agreed Order for an Interim Remedial Action Plan, a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS), and a State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Determination of Non-Significance (DNS). The landfill is located about three miles south of the City of Ephrata and east of Highway 28 in Grant County, Washington.

The site currently covers approximately 125 acres and includes an active landfill. The landfill began operating prior to 1962 and continues to receive industrial and municipal solid waste. Several chemicals are found in groundwater in three of the aquifers that lie under the landfill. The chemicals include non-methane organic compounds, metals, petroleum products and others. The concentration of some of these chemicals exceeds the state groundwater standards. A detailed list of the chemicals is available in the Agreed Order.

Grant County and the City of Ephrata are potentially liable persons (PLPs) for the site. They are working with Ecology to clean up the site and have negotiated a draft Agreed Order. An Agreed Order is a legally binding document that requires specific cleanup actions to protect human health and the environment. These actions are outlined in an Interim Remedial Action Plan (IRAP). Actions include exploring for buried drums that may be contributing to contamination, sampling contents of the drums, removing drums, placing a protective cap over the area, and treating and disposing of contaminated groundwater. These cleanup activities are scheduled to begin after the 30-day comment period and within a month and a half of finalization of the Agreed Order.

The Agreed Order also requires the PLPs to conduct a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS). The purpose of the RI/FS is to determine where and how much contamination is at the site and to evaluate information for cleanup activities. Information obtained as part of the IRAP will be used in the RI/FS. Upon completion of the RI/FS, cleanup alternatives will be evaluated. A cleanup plan will be developed and, after a public review period, implemented.

The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires government agencies to consider potential impacts of a project before cleanup. After review of an environmental checklist and other site-specific information, Grant County has determined the cleanup of chemicals in groundwater will not have a probable adverse impact on the environment. This action will benefit the environment by reducing the release of toxic chemicals from the site. Therefore, Grant County has issued a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS).

Public Comment Period:

December 28, 2006 through January 27, 2007

You may review the Agreed Order, Interim Remedial Action Plan and SEPA Documents at the following locations:

? Ephrata City Library, 45 Alder Street N.W., Ephrata, WA 98823

? Department of Ecology, 4601 N. Monroe Street, Spokane, WA 99105.
