Historical Information Likelihood to Impact Project Historical Sources
PI Report Database Listing: UST and CSCSL NFA
Three gasoline USTs of unspecified capacity were removed from this site according to the PI report. The site is listed on
the CSCSL list with a “No Further Action” granted in October 1998. The nature of the contamination is not specified in the
PI report.
The site appears as a lumber yard in the 1914 and 1942 Sanborn maps. The lumber yard is visible in aerial photographs
through the 1960s. In the 1972 aerial photograph, the lumber yard has been removed but several small buildings are
visible on the property, including a likely fueling station with pump island near Bay Street. The fueling station remains
visible in the 1981 aerial photograph. In the 1995 aerial photograph, the site appears cleared with the existing motel
building under construction. The site fueling station is listed as “Pritchard Shell Service” in 1960 through 1975 city
directories. The fueling station is listed as “Port Orchard Shell” in the 1980 city directory. The fueling station is not listed
in the subsequent reviewed directories.
The portion of the site that formerly contained the fueling station was observed to be a grassy vacant lot during the
windshield survey and is in the area of the proposed alignment and ROW acquisition.
PI Report Database Listing: RCRA CESQG
The site is listed in the PI report as a small quantity waste generator for 2003, 2005 and 2007.
The site is an auto sales and service facility that was constructed in 1948. The site is listed as both “Howe Motors” and
“Howe Oil” in reviewed city directories dated 1954 through 1975. In 1980 and 1985, the site is listed only as “Howe
Motors.” The site is first listed as Bay Ford in 1990.
The existing building is visible in all reviewed aerial photographs, however, the scale of the available photographs does not
allow for detailed examination and identification of on-site fuel tanks. In the 1972 aerial photograph, an area of staining
north of the building is visible. This area appears in its current paved configuration as of the 1995 aerial photograph.
We conducted an on-site reconnaissance of exterior areas of the Bay Ford facility. Waste oil storage areas were observed
at the north end of the building. Batteries and tires were observed on the asphalt at the rear of the building without
secondary containment. Staining and oil sheening were observed on the asphalt surface in some areas near observed
waste oil and auto parts storage areas at the time of our site reconnaissance. Sheen was also observed at the shoreline
near the site stormwater outlet at Blackjack Creek east of the site, adjacent proposed alignment.
We understand the City owns the eastern portion of the site (parking lot) and a private partnership owns the western
portion of the site (building).
PI Report Database Listing: None
The existing shopping center at this location was constructed in 1960; tenant spaces in this building have a variety of oddnumbered
street addresses between 1301 and 1371. Shopping center tenants were primarily retail and restaurants,
however, medical offices and dry cleaners have also been located in the building. A self-service laundry “Whirlomat” was
located in the building between at least 1960 and 1975, according to the reviewed city directories. Possible dry cleaners
in the building have included “Morgan’s Cleaners” (city directories 1965 and 1970) and “Norge Dry Cleaning” (1965). A
photo processor “Developing Fotomat” is also listed at Westbay Center in the 1980 and 1985 city directories.
Moderate
The site is considered an environmental concern
because of the potential for petroleum products,
wood waste and other hazardous materials used
during lumberyard and fueling station activities
in the soil and groundwater. “No Further Action”
was granted in 1998 based on the PI report;
however, the details of the NFA are not known.
ROW acquisition is planned on the western
portion of the site. Minor excavation for paving is
planned during construction. The site is
considered a moderate environmental concern
because ROW acquisition of the site is planned
and may pose a risk to the City’s liability.
Low
The site is considered an environmental concern
because of the potential for petroleum products
in soil and groundwater. An easement is
planned to be acquired on the northern portion
of the site. The City of Port Orchard is the
property owner on the eastern portion of the site.
Construction activities consist of minor
excavation for paving and for the foundation of
the Blackjack Creek Bridge. The site is
considered to have a low likelihood to impact the
project because the construction activities are
not located in the area of the building and USTs
(potential source of contamination).
Low
The site is considered an environmental concern
because of the potential for dry cleaning solvents
in the soil and groundwater. The site is
considered to have a low likelihood to impact the
project because there has not been a
documented release; however, excavation is
planned for the Blackjack Creek bridge
foundation northwest of the existing building.
