Dear Clark Close:
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Logan Place Development Project.
Based on review of the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) checklist associated with this
Project, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) has the following comments:
Three sites that are listed on Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Confirmed and Suspected
Contaminated Sites List are located within 750 feet of the proposed project location:
The Tire Store site (cleanup site ID 12364, facility site ID 24009), located at 205 Logan
Ave S, approximately 160 feet south of the project location. The Tire Store site has
petroleum hydrocarbons (in diesel and heavy oil range) in soil. Groundwater condition
has not been evaluated. Cleanup has been started for this site but not completed.
The Lockwood Ind Inc Renton site (cleanup site ID 1716, facility site ID 63259222),
located at 73 Burnett Ave S, approximately 490 feet northeast of the project location.
The Lockwood Ind Inc Renton site has petroleum hydrocarbons and volatile organic
compounds (VOC) in soil and groundwater. Cleanup has been started for this site but not
completed.
The Qwest Corporation W00276 site (cleanup site ID 11252, facility site ID 96588161),
located at 225 William Ave S, approximately 570 feet southeast of the project location.
The Qwest Corporation W00276 site has petroleum hydrocarbons and VOC (including
benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) in soil and groundwater. Free product was
observed at this Site in 2002. Cleanup has been started for this site but not completed.
If contaminated ground water from any of the three contaminated sites has reached the project
location, the parcel will be considered part of the MTCA site. In this case, petroleum
hydrocarbons and/or VOC contamination at the project location should be characterized to

ensure protection of workers and future residents and mitigation of MTCA liability. One or
more of the following may be needed.
Removal and proper disposal of contaminated soil and/or ground water from the project
location.
Construction of a cut-off wall to prevent contaminated ground water from flowing into
the project location.
Worker health and safety measures, including air monitoring.
