EXH AR023949: Hydrogeologic Study — IWS Plant and Lagoons, STIA

This 2000 hydrogeologic study, prepared by Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. for the Port of Seattle, examines groundwater conditions beneath the Industrial Waste System (IWS) plant and lagoons at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The report assesses soil geology, groundwater flow direction, and water quality — including levels of volatile organic compounds, petroleum hydrocarbons, and ethylene glycol — near three wastewater lagoons on airport property. It concludes with findings and recommendations related to potential contaminant releases and ongoing groundwater monitoring needs.

Notes

Hydrogeologic Study of the Industrial Waste System (IWS) Plant and Lagoons at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, prepared by Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. (AESI Project No. BV98112) for Port Of Seattle, dated June 21, 2000. Report covers site geology, stratigraphy (Pre-Fraser and Fraser/Vashon glacial deposits, advance outwash, glacial till, recessional outwash, fill), hydrogeology of shallow aquifer and perched water zone, ground water levels and flow direction around Lagoons 1, 2, and 3, ground water quality monitoring including VOCs, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), and ethylene glycol. Addresses releases, non-compliance events, lagoon integrity tests, lagoon sludge/sediments, soil contamination, and background water quality statistical analysis. Filed as AR 023949 in PCHB third-runway EIS administrative record.
