Port Of Seattle 1999 Airfield Project Soil Fill Acceptance Criteria for STIA airfield projects, describing criteria and review process for acceptance of fill material requested by Washington Department of Ecology in conjunction with 401 Water Quality certification. Covers geotechnical and environmental suitability standards including MTCA Method A contaminant levels, arsenic, TPH and metals analyses. Details

This 1999 Port of Seattle document outlines the criteria and review process for accepting soil fill material used in Sea-Tac International Airport (STIA) airfield construction projects. Fill material must come from approved sources—such as state-certified commercial borrow pits, contractor-certified construction sites, or Port-owned property—and generally must meet Washington State MTCA Method A environmental contamination standards. Contractors and suppliers are required to certify the quality of their materials, and independent soil technicians monitor all deliveries to ensure only safe, suitable fill is placed on airport grounds.

A 1997 Agreed Order issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology directed the Port of Seattle to address hazardous substance contamination at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Jet fuel, gasoline, industrial solvents, and other chemicals had been released across twelve separate sites within a half-square-mile Aircraft Operations and Maintenance Area, impacting both soil and groundwater. The order established a framework for ongoing environmental investigation and cleanup while acknowledging the operational challenges of working in an active airport environment.

Covers Method B and Method C cleanup levels for soil and groundwater, reference doses (RfD), cancer potency factors, hazard quotients, WAC 173-340-740 and WAC 173-340-745 calculations, inhalation correction

This 1995 Washington State Department of Ecology document provides guidance for cleaning up soils contaminated by petroleum products. It outlines remediation standards and procedures under the state's Toxics Cleanup Program, applicable across all regions of Washington State.

Washington State Department of Ecology Implementation Memo No. 3, authored by Steve Robb of the Toxics Cleanup Program, dated November 24, 1993. Addresses two issues under the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA): (1) long-term liability for potentially liable persons (PLPs) when cleanup levels are set at practical quantitation limits (PQLs) rather than risk-based levels, including

Implementation Memo No. 3 dated November 24, 1993, from Steve Robb of the Washington State Department of Ecology Toxics Cleanup Program to Interested Staff, addressing two issues regarding practical quantitation limits (PQLs) as cleanup standards under the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA). Covers long-term liability for potentially liable persons (PLPs) who clean up to PQL
