North Colfax Petroleum

Contamination Site

Intersection of East Tyler and East Harrison Streets

Colfax, Whitman County, Washington

FSID: 4272

CSID: 11557

Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study Reports Available for Comment

Comments Accepted: January 31 through February 29, 2012

The North Colfax Petroleum Contamination site is approximately 1000 feet south of the Palouse River and east of the South Fork of the Palouse River. The site is made up of three main properties, the Colfax Grange property at 105 E. Harrison; the Cenex property bordered on the north by East Tyler and the Time Oil property located at 804 N. Main.

Historically and currently the site has been occupied by gas stations. Petroleum leaks from the site operations contaminated soil and groundwater requiring further investigations and development of cleanup options.

The Remedial Investigation Report provides the findings of the investigations about site-related petroleum contamination. The Feasibility Study Report evaluates three proposed alternatives for cleanup.

The companies responsible for cleanup recommended alternative one which includes maintenance of an asphalt and concrete cap that confines contamination with monitored natural attenuation. Institutional controls also would be used such as a management plan or contaminant contingency plan for petroleum that remains in subsurface soil.

Details may be reviewed in the draft Remedial Investigation, Remedial Investigation Addendum and Feasibility Study Disproportionate Cost Analysis Reports available at the following locations: Whitman County Library, 102 S. Main, Colfax, WA phone 509-397-4366. Dept. of Ecology, 4601 N. Monroe, Spokane, WA phone 509-329-3415. Ecology’s Website: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/gsp/Sitepage.aspx?csid= 11557
