Public Notice: EPA to review cleanup at Wyckoff/Eagle Harbor Superfund site in Washington

Summary

EPA has started its sixth "five-year review" of the environmental cleanup at the Wyckoff/Eagle Harbor Superfund site on Bainbridge Island in Washington.

EPA is required to review Superfund cleanups at least every five years at sites where contaminants remain in place. These reviews help us make sure that cleanup actions continue to protect human health and the environment.

EPA added the site to the Superfund list in 1987. Extensive cleanup actions have controlled or eliminated much of the exposure risks from creosote. Additional cleanup actions are needed in the soil and groundwater at the former Wyckoff wood treating facility, and in the adjacent beach sediments.
