We are providing an opportunity for public review and comment on the draft periodic review conducted at the MJB South Hydro Fill site, located in Anacortes.
The purpose of a periodic review is to evaluate current site conditions and ensure protection of human health and the environment.
Site history
A portion of the site was created in 1974 using sediment from dredging the navigation channel in Fidalgo Bay. Between 1991 to 2011, investigations found contamination in the soil and groundwater. In 2010, about 3,291 cubic yards of contaminated soil were removed during the construction of a boat ramp and sent to a landfill. In 2013, another 39 cubic yards were removed with follow-up testing. However, groundwater at the site is still contaminated, so in 2024, restrictions were put in place to prevent its use.
