Dear Jill Ding:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) notice of application utilizing the optional determination of nonsignificance (ODNS/NOA)
process for the TA Benson Petro project. Based on review of the checklist associated with this
project, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) has the following comments:
Section B Environmental Elements, Subsection 3 Water, Subsection 7 Groundwater:
Groundwater occurs at approximately 8 feet below ground surface. Please provide the
maximum depth of excavation during the construction. Please specify if dewatering is
anticipated during the construction.
Section B Environmental Elements, Subsection 7 Environmental Health:
The proposed project is located on a site listed in the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA)
Confirmed and Contaminated Sites List (CSCSL) and Leaking Underground Storage Tanks List
(LUST). Please add the following contaminated site information in the SEPA checklist:
• Site Name: Texaco Fairwood
• Facility Site ID: 3376675
• Cleanup Site ID: 7533
• LUST Site ID: 2063

The SEPA checklist indicates that recent environmental assessment in 2019 did not find
petroleum contamination. However, based on historical information, it is possible that
potential contaminated soil or groundwater may be encountered during the construction.
Please have a contingency mitigation plan in place to address the contaminated soil or
groundwater handling and disposal, hazardous waste operations worker training, health and
safety, and potential contamination remediation.
Thank you for considering these comments from Ecology. If you have any questions or would
like to respond to these comments, please contact Jing Song from the Toxics Cleanup Program
at (425) 229-2565 or by email at jing.song@ecy.wa.gov.
Sincerely,
Kelli Price
SEPA Coordinator
