Pacific Sound Resources On this page: Recent additions Background Technical documents Fact sheets Past news coverage Contacts Recent Additions In September, we completed our second five-year review for the Pacific Sound Resources site. The review identified follow-up work, which is planned for the next five years, including: Revising EPA’s 1999 cleanup decision based on a better understanding of standards needed for long-term protection of ground water, surface water, and sediment (mud). Gathering information to see whether contamination is entering Elliott Bay. Adding more clean material to the sediment cap in the deepest water at the site. Working with the U.S. Coast Guard to protect the cap by restricting use of large commercial boat anchors. Evaluating indoor air quality at a maintenance building. Contact Ravi Sanga (sanga.ravi@epa.gov) at 206-553-4092 or Cindy C. Schuster (schuster.cindy@epa.gov) or 206-553-1815 for more information.
