MOSQUITO FLEET TRAIL PROJECT • <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Orchard</strong>, Washington<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
This report presents the results <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Corridor</strong>-<strong>Level</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Site</strong> <strong>Assessment</strong> (ESA) in<br />
support <strong>of</strong> the Mosquito Fleet Trail Project located in <strong>Port</strong> <strong>Orchard</strong>, Washington. The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Port</strong><br />
<strong>Orchard</strong> Public Works Department is planning to construct a new waterfront multi-use trail in <strong>Port</strong><br />
<strong>Orchard</strong> generally following Bay Street. The new trail will accommodate bicycle and pedestrian<br />
traffic along the waterfront between ferry terminals located in Annapolis and downtown <strong>Port</strong><br />
<strong>Orchard</strong>. It will also provide recreational opportunities along the waterfront for residents and<br />
visitors to the community.<br />
A preferred alignment has been chosen for the project as shown in Figure 2. This <strong>Corridor</strong>-<strong>Level</strong><br />
ESA is a portion <strong>of</strong> Phase 1 <strong>of</strong> the design process. Phase 1 includes the analysis <strong>of</strong> existing<br />
environmental conditions, development <strong>of</strong> preliminary design, analysis <strong>of</strong> special benefits,<br />
comprehensive cost estimating and value engineering. Future phases will entail environmental<br />
review, permitting, final design and construction.<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Corridor</strong>-<strong>Level</strong> ESA is to assist N.L. Olson and Associates, Inc. (Olson) with the<br />
following: 1) evaluate the presence or likely presence <strong>of</strong> potential hazardous substances at the<br />
parcels within and near the <strong>Corridor</strong>; 2) provide recommendations for additional hazardous<br />
material investigations (such as a site-specific Phase I ESA or Phase II ESA); 3) provide information<br />
on nearby sites, based on readily available information, to support future estimates <strong>of</strong> site cleanup<br />
and construction costs; and 4) assess the liability associated with project development in or near<br />
potentially contaminated sites. References reviewed for this <strong>Corridor</strong>-<strong>Level</strong> ESA are included as<br />

METHODOLOGY – SCOPE OF SERVICES<br />
The following tasks were performed as part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Corridor</strong>-<strong>Level</strong> ESA:<br />
1. Reviewed the results <strong>of</strong> a federal, state and local environmental database search (Parcel<br />
Insight [PI] Report) for listings <strong>of</strong> known or suspected environmental concerns at sites adjacent<br />
to or within 1 mile <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Corridor</strong>. The PI Report is provided in Appendix B.<br />
2. Conducted a windshield survey <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Corridor</strong> along Bay Street from <strong>Orchard</strong> Avenue to Retsil<br />
Road East on December 17, 2009. We did not enter or view conditions within buildings. We<br />
entered the following parcels that could pose an environmental concern to the <strong>Corridor</strong> based<br />
on a review <strong>of</strong> the database and observations during the windshield survey:<br />
• Bay Ford – Kitsap County Parcel No. 252401-2-020-2000.<br />
• <strong>Port</strong> <strong>of</strong> Bremerton – Kitsap County Parcel No. 262401-1-007-2008.<br />
• Westbay Center – Kitsap County Parcel No. 252401-2-001-2003.<br />
3. Reviewed historical aerial photographs to identify past development history on and adjacent to<br />
the <strong>Corridor</strong> relative to the possible use, generation, storage, release or disposal <strong>of</strong> hazardous<br />
substances.<br />
