Report-Environmental Site Assessment:Phase I
SECTION 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Stratum Group conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for the property at 7th Street
and Hendricks(Jefferson County Parcel 948323702)in Port Townsend, Washington.The
environmental assessment process included a site visit,a historical investigation,review of
environmental databases, and interviews to determine the risk of contamination to the soil,
groundwater,and/or vapor intrusion at the site.
The subject property occupies a single tax parcel that covers approximately 0.54 acres.The site is
currently a paved parking lot for an adjacent Jefferson County office building.No recognized
environmental conditions are suspected in connection with the current uses of the property.
The site was an undeveloped grass or hay field from at least 1951 until the site was graded to its
current level condition by 1990. The eastern 25 percent of the property had been paved for use as a
parking lot following excavation and grading of the property.The western 75 percent of the
property remained a maintained(mowed)grass field until May or June of 2015.The entire
property has functioned as a parking from June 2015 until present.No recognized environmental
conditions are suspected in connection with the historical use of the site.
None of the potential off-site contamination sources identified through our review of contaminated
sites within the ASTM search radius pose a significant risk of contamination to the subject property.
Based upon our site visit,historical review, and evaluation of potential off-site contamination
sources, it is our opinion that it is reasonable and prudent to believe that the environmental risk at
the site is minimal and therefore no further investigation is warranted.
SECTION 2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 Methodology and Purpose
The purpose of this Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is to identify,to the extent feasible
pursuant to the processes prescribed within the Federal Standards and Practices for All Appropriate
Inquiries(40 CFR Part 312)and ASTM Standard Practice E 1527-13,recognized environmental
conditions in connection with the subject properties.A recognized environmental condition is
defined as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in,
on, or at a property: (1) due to any release to the environment; (2)under conditions indicative of
a release to the environment; or(3)under conditions that pose a material threat of a future
release to the environment. De minimis conditions are not recognized environmental conditions.
A de minimis condition is defined as a condition that generally does not pose a threat to human
health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject or an enforcement action if
brought to the attention of appropriate government agencies.
Stratum Group 1 7.12.19B
September 14,2020
Jefferson County Parcel 948323702
Report-Environmental Site Assessment:Phase I
This report will also address controlled recognized environmental conditions(a past release of
hazardous substances or petroleum that remains in place with required controls), historical
recognized environmental conditions(a past release that has been cleaned up to meet unrestricted
land use criteria), if identified in association with the site.
A phase I report that conducts all appropriate inquiries into the previous ownership and uses of
the property consistent with good commercial and customary practices permits the user of the
report to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for landowner liability protections including
innocent landowner, contiguous property owner, or bona fide prospective purchaser limitations
on liability within the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
(CERCLA) laws.
Environmental issues or conditions at a property may be present that are beyond the scope of a
typical phase I environmental site assessment, but which could under some conditions lead to
contamination or future financial burden and may warrant further research or investigation
beyond the phase I report.An example of non-scope considerations include: business related
environmental risk, asbestos-containing building materials, biological agents, cultural and
historical resources, ecological resources, endangered species,health and safety, indoor air
quality unrelated to releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products into the
environment, industrial hygiene, lead-based paint, lead in drinking water, mold, radon,
regulatory compliance, and wetlands.Non-scope considerations are generally not addressed in
this phase I report; however, our findings will be identified if significant conditions are
discovered during the conduct of our evaluation.
The scope of our services included:
• Inspection of the property for indication of hazardous substances,petroleum products,
stained soil, stressed vegetation, dumping, or careless manufacturing or industrial practices.
• Document the storage and waste management practices and the condition of the materials,
if present.
• Review of Federal, State, and local records as to locations of nearby hazardous waste sites,
leaking underground storage tanks, and landfills
• Review of aerial photographs, assessor's notes and other available public records to
determine past usage of the property and surrounding areas
• Review of the physical setting, geology, and hydrogeology of the site
• Preparation of this report describing the conditions encountered and recommendations for
further study, if necessary.
2.2 Professional Qualifications
We declare that,to the best of our professional knowledge and belief,we meet the definition of
Environmental Professional as defined in §312.10 of this part[Federal All Appropriate Inquiries].
Stratum Group 2 7.12.19B
September 14,2020
Jefferson County Parcel 948323702
Report-Environmental Site Assessment:Phase I
We have the specific qualifications based on education,training, and experience to assess a
property of the nature,history, and setting of the subject property. We have developed and
performed the all appropriate inquiries in conformance with the standards and practices set forth in
40 CFR Part 312.
2.3 Data Gaps and Limiting Conditions
No data gaps or limiting conditions were encountered during the conduct of this Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment except:
• We were unable to interview former owners of the subject property.
• Historical data for the site was not available at five year increments.
Our historical review of aerial photographs indicates the property has never been developed and its
only use has been as a parking area. Based upon this history,these limiting conditions do not
significantly affect our ability to adequately assess the risk to the subject property.
SECTION 3. SITE LOCATION AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 Location
The subject property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of 7th Street and
Hendricks Street in the city of Port Townsend. The property is located approximately 0.3 miles
northwest of tidewater at Port Townsend Bay and approximately 1.5 miles southeast of downtown
Port Townsend. The property location is shown in Figure 1 in Appendix I.
3.2 Site Setting
The property is located in a commercial and residential area in Port Townsend. The vicinity of
the area has very gentle slopes, but the property itself is cut into a moderate hillside to the north
and west.
An aerial photograph of the site and vicinity is provided in Figure 2. Site photographs are
provided in Figures 3 through 7. Figures 1 through 7 are provided in Appendix I.
3.2.1 Geologic Summary
The Geologic Map of the Port Townsend South and Part of the Port Townsend North 7.5-minute
Quadrangles, Jefferson County, Washington (Schasse and Slaughter, 2005) indicates that the
subject property is underlain by Vashon till and modified land.
Stratum Group 3 7.12.19B
September 14,2020
Jefferson County Parcel 948323702
Report-Environmental Site Assessment:Phase I
Vashon till as a very poorly sorted mix of clay, silt, sand, and gravel with scattered cobbles and
boulders that was deposited by glacial ice during the last glacial period between 18,000 and
14,000 years ago. The unit is highly compacted to the point of resembling concrete and
commonly forms steep,nearly vertical coastal bluffs in the Salish Sea region. The highly
compact nature of the deposit is from the glacial ice that had a maximum ice thickness in the area
of 4,000 feet(Schasse and Slaughter, 2005; Thorsen, 1981).
Modified land is described as soil and sediment that has been reworked by excavation or
redistribution to modify natural topography.
Our observations are consistent with the above described mapping. Five hand dug test pits and
cut slope exposures on the site revealed compact diamicton consistent with Vashon till.The till is
composed of compact and dense poorly sorted clay, silt, sand, and gravel with scattered cobbles
and boulders. Some of the test pits exposed shallow reworked till consistent with the modified
land.
3.2.2 Hydrologic Summary
No surface water features are present on the site.
Shallow groundwater flow is generally a function of topography.Although the property has been
excavated and graded,the surrounding topography gently slopes to the southeast towards Port
Townsend Bay.Based on this topography, shallow groundwater at in the in vicinity of the site
likely flows towards the southeast towards Port Townsend Bay.
SECTION 4. SITE RECONNAISSANCE
Representatives of Stratum Group visited the subject property on September 4,2020. We had
previously visited the site on June 24, 2019. Site conditions and adjoining sites had not
undergone ant changes between our site visits.
4.1 Building Conditions
No buildings or structures were located on the subject property at the time of our site visit.
4.2 Surface Conditions
The surface of the subject property mostly consists of a paved parking lot.Unpaved areas include
a grass strip on the southern boundary of the property the property and vegetated cut slopes along
the northern and western property boundaries. The grass strip included cement blocks spaced 3
to 5 feet apart. The cut slopes on the property range in height from 8 to 14 feet with slope angles
between 40 and 50 degrees. In the northeast portion of the property, a set of concrete stairs on the

commercial development to the south. The property is bounded to the north by 7th Street and to
the west by Hendricks Street. On the opposite of each of these roads, there are several residential
properties developed with homes. To the northwest, an RV park(Sea Breeze Park) is located
kitty corner to the subject property.
SECTION 5. SITE DOCUMENTATION AND INTERVIEWS
5.1 Site Documents
No other site-specific documents regarding environmental conditions were available for the subject
property.
5.2 Interviews
No interviews were completed as part of this assessment. We contacted the Jefferson County
Health Department regarding the property. The Health Department had no records regarding the
site.
SECTION 6. PAST USE OF SITE AND ADJOINING PROPERTIES
Aerial photographs dating back to 1951 and assessor records were used for gathering information
regarding the past use of the subject property and adjoining properties. Copies of the aerial
photographs are provided in Appendix II.A list of the references for the historical research is
provided in Appendix III.
6.1 Summary of Past Site Use
The subject property was an undeveloped field from at least 1951 through at least 1979. The site
was graded sometime in the 1980s when the adjoining properties to the south and east were
developed as an office and commercial development. The eastern 25 percent of the site was
converted to a paved parking area at that time.The rest of the level area of the site was maintained
as a vacant grass covered lot.The remainder of the level ground on the property was paved and
converted to a parking lot in May or June of 2015.
6.2 Summary of Past Site Use of Adjoining Properties
North: 7th Street has bounded the site to the north since at least the 1920s.The homes located across
the street to the north were built in the late 1920s.
East and Southeast: The adjacent properties to the east and southeast were used as grass and hay
fields from at least 1951 through 1979.These areas were paved and used as parking beginning
Stratum Group 6 7.12.19B
September 14,2020
Jefferson County Parcel 948323702
Report-Environmental Site Assessment: Phase I
sometime in the 1980s.
South:The adjacent properties to south were used as a grass and hay field from at least 1951
through 1979.The existing commercial building was built to the south in the 1980s.
West: Hendricks Street has bounded the west side of the property since at least the 1920s.Homes
were located across the street from the 1920s but had been removed by 1960s.Mobile homes
were located across the street to the west in the 1970s.
SECTION 7. POTENTIAL CONTAMINANT SOURCES
7.1 Standard ASTM Environmental Record Sources
The environmental records were reviewed to identify potential off-site contamination sources in the
vicinity of the subject property that have a potential to negatively impact the subject property's soil,
ground water, or surface water.The records were reviewed by Stratum Group from databases
downloaded on September 14, 2020. Based upon the site's location,the databases were searched
for Port Townsend and Jefferson County, Washington. A list of the references used to determine
the potential off-site contamination sites is presented in Appendix II.The results of our records
search can be made available in electronic form.
Two potential off-site contamination sources were identified in the environmental records located
within the ASTM search distance.The location of the site and the subject property are indicated on
the Figure 1 —Site Vicinity Map.The site found within the ASTM search distance and the potential
risk it poses to the subject property is discussed in Section 7.2.1.
Our records review augments the environmental databases reviewed through an EDR radius report
for Jefferson County parcel 948323702(Inquiry Number 5716431.2s)dated July 15,2019.EDR
provided a map of listed sites and copies of the databases on which the sites were listed.The
approximate locations of the sites and the subject property are shown on the EDR radius map,
provided on pages 15 and 16 of the EDR report are included in Appendix V.
7.2 Evaluation of Potential Contamination Sources
7.2.1 Potential Off-Site Source Information
The sites found within the search radius,as identified by the ASTM standard,were evaluated to
determine the potential effect on the subject property.Factors such as location,topography,
groundwater flow direction,hydrologic barriers,type of contamination,and the actions taken to
remove the contamination are all considered to determine the potential off-site contamination
source's potential impacts on the subject property.
Stratum Group 7 7.12.19B
September 14,2020
Jefferson County Parcel 948323702
Report-Environmental Site Assessment:Phase I
Two sites are identified in the environmental records: Sea Breeze Shell and Hilltop Texaco.Neither
of these two sites is located up gradient to the subject property and both impacted soil only.Based
on the locations of the sites and soil being the only media impacted,these two sites pose no risk of
contamination to the subject property.
One site was identified in the EDR report that is potentially up gradient of the subject property.
1553 8th Street(mapped site 3)was listed as a potential gasoline service station in the proprietary
EDR high-risk historical records database.However,our review of historical aerial photographs and
assessor records indicates that the property has only been a residential property. There are no reports
of contamination associated with this site and it is not listed on any public data bases.In addition the
site is approximately 500 feet away.Therefore, it is our opinion that although this site is potentially
up gradient of the subject property, it does not pose a risk to the subject property and does not
warrant further investigation.
None of the identified sites poses a significant risk of contamination to the subject property.No
other potential off-site sources were identified through our historical review.
7.2.2 Potential On Site Sources
Representatives of Stratum Group visited the subject property on September 4,2020.The purpose
of the site visit was to identify,to the extent feasible pursuant to the processes prescribed within
the Federal All Appropriate Inquiries and the ASTM Standard Practice E 1527,recognized
environmental conditions in connection with the subject property.
We did not observe any recognized environmental conditions or any indications of potential
contamination on the site.
The subject property is not listed in any public databases.
The subject property was an undeveloped field from at least 1951 through at least 1979.The site
was graded sometime in the 1980s when the adjoining properties to the south and east were
developed as an office and commercial development.The eastern 25 percent of the site was
converted to a paved parking area at that time.The rest of the level area of the site was maintained
as a vacant grass covered lot.The remainder of the level ground on the property was paved and
converted to a parking lot in May or June of 2015.
No recognized environmental conditions are suspected from the past use of the site.

Site Description
The Seabreeze Shell site is located at 1408 Sims Way, Port Townsend,Washington, (Township 30N/
Range 1 W/Section 10). There was a confirmed release to soil of petroleum hydrocarbons in April
2007.
Background
The Seabreeze Shell location was used as a gasoline station since about 1928. There are three current
underground storage tanks(USTs), which were installed on the site in 1985, and retrofitted to meet
upgrading requirements in 1998. The older historical tanks were reportedly removed in 1985.
Total volume of all underground tanks at this property is approximately 31,800 gallons.
In 1993,two soil borings were performed by Environmental Associates, Inc. Slight hydrocarbon odors
were noted in soil samples collected from a location near the former UST nest location.
In 1997, Aspect Consulting commissioned a geophysical study which included electromagnetic
magnetometer, and ground penetrating radar surveys. No metallic anomalies were noted at the reported
location of the former UST nest. One anomaly presented itself immediately south of the convenience
store, and it could be a historic buried pump island or out-of-service UST.
Follow-up Site Investigations
On April 25, 2007, Aspect Consulting(Aspect)had six direct-push exploration borings at the site and on
June 25 and 26, 2007 eight hollow stem auger borings completed. NW Probe, Puyallup, Washington,
did the direct push explorations. Cascade Drilling Inc, Woodinville, Washington, completed all of the
hollow stem auger borings.
The direct-push borings continuously sampled using 4-foot core barrels and acetate sleeves. Hollow
stem auger borings were sampled at 5-foot intervals using a 3 inch"Dames and Moore"split spoon
sampler driven with a 300 pound slide hammer. All soil samples were logged by an Aspect geologist,
1
and were field screened for indicators of hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)using
visual and olfactory observations, and by headspace screening using a photoionization detector(PID).
The soil conditions at the site were reported to consist of asphalt or concrete overlying 2 feet of dense
gravel and sandy gravel fill. Native soil encountered below the fill generally included dense to very
dense,grey to brown, silty gravelly sands interpreted to be Vashon glacial till. More sand-rich deposits
encountered below an approximate depth of 30 feet were interpreted to be the upper portion of the
underlying Vashon advance outwash. The field indicators included elevated PID reading and odor noted
from borings B-03, B-06, B-7, B8, B11, B12, and B14.
All soil samples collected were reported to have been placed into laboratory-supplied jars,placed in an
iced cooler, and retained for possibly laboratory analysis. Samples were analyzed for total petroleum
hydrocarbons (TPHs)-gasoline and VOCs were collected and preserved in accordance with EPA Method
5035A. Reportedly, industry standard chain-of-custody protocols were followed during sample
handling, storage and transportation.
The selection of the samples to submit for analysis was based on site conditions,historical use,results of
field screening observations, and the project analytical budget. Friedman &Bruya Inc. analyzed the soil
samples for: total petroleum hydrocarbons using Northwest Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon-extended gas
region(NWTPH-Gx)method, TPH as diesel and motor oil by NWTPH-Dx (extended diesel region),
BTEX compounds (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes)by EPA Method 8021B, and total lead
by EPA Method 200.8.
The TPHs as gasoline were detected above the MTCA Method A soil cleanup level of 30 mg/kg(when
benzene was present) in soil samples collected from borings B-06, B7, B8, and B12. The detected
concentrations above MTCA Method A soil cleanup levels were in soil samples collected at or above 15
feet below grade. The TPHs samples as diesel had analytical results lower than the MTCA Method A
soil cleanup level of 2,000 mg/kg.
Benzene was detected at concentrations above MTCA Method A soil cleanup level of 0.03 mg/kg in
samples from B-06, B 11, B12,B14, and B15. Toluene exceeding the MTCA Method A soil cleanup
levels were detected in soil samples from borings B-06 and B7, and ethyl-benzene and total xylenes
were detected exceeding MTCA Method A soil cleanup levels for these compounds in samples from
borings B-06, B7, and B8.
All samples where concentrations of lead were detected were under the MTCA Method A soil cleanup
level. Table 1 below shows the analytical results for the samples that had concentrations above MTCA
Method A soil cleanup levels.

Site Hazard Assessment
A Site Hazard Assessment(SHA) was performed by Anita Hicklin, of Jefferson County
Public Health(JCPH), on August 21, 2009. There was no sign of any contamination on
the ground however the contaminated areas are below the site buildings and parking lot.
The file was reviewed in September 2015 by Christy Fiedler(JCPH) and the report was
updated August 9, 2017 by Roger Parker(JCPH).
The scoring and ranking of this site was based on site-specific results from environmental
samples collected between April 2007 and June 2007. No new sampling data was
generated during the SHA report process.
