Corrective Measures Study & Statement of Basis
The Boeing Plant 2 is a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) hazardous waste facility. Metals, solvents, PCBs and other
contamination remain in certain areas of the facility. The Boeing
Company is under a RCRA Order from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to investigate and clean up Plant 2.
Boeing completed cleanup of sediments (mud) and shoreline soils
next to the facility in 2015. They removed 163,000 cubic yards
of sediment and replaced it with clean soil. Boeing continues
to monitor the quality of the sediment at the site as required
by the post-construction monitoring plan. In the upland area of
the facility, Boeing has completed the majority of interim soil
cleanups and installed stormwater treatment systems to prevent
contaminants from entering the waterway. Boeing is addressing
groundwater contamination through interim measures that
reduce the source of contaminants and by monitoring a series of
shoreline wells.
Boeing has provided EPA with their plan to complete cleanup at
the remaining uplands areas, including final corrective actions
for areas where interim measures have been completed. EPA
wants your input on Boeing's proposal, as well as EPA's tentative
decision, also known as a Statement of Basis.
Why does it need to be cleaned up?
Boeing Plant 2 is located on the east bank of the Lower Duwamish
Waterway (LDW) at 7755 East Marginal Way South in Seattle and
Tukwila, Washington. Plant 2 was built in the late 1930s and was
a major aircraft manufacturing facility during World War II. PCBs
from transformers and related electrical equipment, as well as
from paints, caulk, and hydraulic fluids were released at Plant 2
and into the LDW. A wide range of other hazardous chemicals are
found in certain areas of soil and groundwater, including metals,
cyanide, petroleum products, and chlorinated solvents.
When the LDW became a Superfund site, several "hot spot" areas
of sediment contamination were targeted for cleanup before the
larger Superfund cleanup could proceed. Boeing Plant 2 is one of
these hot spot cleanups, also called Early Action Areas or EAAs.
What is the plan to clean it up?
The Corrective Measures Study considers a number of cleanup
methods to complete cleanup of soils and groundwater in
the uplands area of the facility. Final proposed remedies
documented in the Statement of Basis include enhanced reductive
dechlorination (ERD), ERD and excavation with off-site disposal,
excavation with off-site disposal, and bioventing. EPA proposes to
use an adaptive management strategy where additional data or
revisions to a cleanup approach may be needed.

Planta 2 de Boeing
Estudio de medidas correctivas y Declaration de base
La Planta 2 de Boeing es una instalacion de residuos peligrosos en virtud de la Ley de Conservation y Recuperation de Recursos (RCRA).
Los metales, solventes, bifenilos policlorados (PCB) y otra contamination permanecen en determinadas zonas de la instalacion. La empresa Boeing,
conforme al pedido de la Agencia de Proteccion Ambientai (EPA) de EE. UU. en virtud de la ley RCRA, tiene por objeto investigar y iimpiar la Planta 2.
Boeing completo la limpieza de los sedimentos (lodo) y suelos costeros proximos a la instalacion en el ano 2015. La empresa elimino 163 000 yardas
cubicas de sedimento y las reemplazo por suelo limpio. Boeing sigue supervisando la calidad del sedimento en el sitio, segun lo requiere el plan de
supervision posterior a la construction. En las zonas altas de la instalacion, Boeing completo la mayor parte de limpiezas provisionales del suelo
e instaio sistemas de tratamiento de aguas piuviaies para evitar que los contaminantes ingresen al cauce. Boeing aborda la contamination de las
aguas subterraneas a traves de medidas provisionales que reducen la fuente de contaminantes y a traves de la supervision de una serie de pozos
costeros.
Boeing le proporciono a la EPA el plan para completar la limpieza en las zonas altas restantes, incluidas medidas correctivas finales para zonas donde
se completaron las medidas provisionales. EPA desea obtener su opinion sobre las propuestas de Boeing, asi como sobre la decision tentativa
de la EPA, tambien conocida como Declaracion de base.
iPor que se debe Iimpiar?
La Planta 2 de Boeing esta ubicada en la ribera oriental del cauce inferior del
rfo Duwamish (LDW) en 7755 East Marginal Way South en Seattle y Tukwila,
Washington. La Planta fue construida a finales de la decada de 1930 y fue
una de las principaies instalaciones de fabrication de aviones durante la
Segunda Guerra Mundial, Los PCB de transformadores y equipos electricos
relacionados, asi como pinturas, masillasy fluidos hidraulicos, se liberaron
en la Planta 2 y en el LDW. Una amplia variedad de otros productos qulmicos
peligrosos se encuentran en determinadas zonas del suelo y de las aguas
subterraneas, incluidos metales, cianuro, productos petroliferos y solventes
dorados.
Cuando el LDW se convirtio en un sitio Superfund, varias zonas clave
de contaminacion de sedimentos fueron objeto de limpieza antes de
que se pudiera continuar con la limpieza mas extensa de Superfund. La
Planta 2 de Boeing es una de estas limpiezas de puntos clave, tambien
llamadas Areas de Action Inicial o EAA.
tCual es el plan para la limpieza?
El Estudio de medidas correctivas considera una cantidad de rnetodos
de limpieza para completar la limpieza de los suelos y las aguas
subterraneas en las zonas altas de la instalacion. Los remedies finales
propuestos que se documentan en la Declaracion de base incluyen la
decloracion reductiva mejorada (ERD), la excavation con desecho fuera
del sitio y la bioventilacion. La EPA propone usar una estrategia de
gestion adaptativa donde se necesiten revisiones o datos adicionales
para un enfoque de limpieza.
