We invite your comments on the second periodic review of the cleanup site, Cap Sante Marine.
The property was acquired by the Port of Anacortes in 1956 and leased to a series of tenants who operated a boatyard and marina support area providing small boat storage, boat launch, boat maintenance, and offshore fueling facilities. From the late 1970s to 2007, Cap Sante Marine, Ltd. occupied the northern portion of the Site and provided small vessel storage, launch, and minor maintenance services. Vessel fueling was historically provided from a float located offshore from the site. Fuel was supplied to the float through a series of underground pipelines that were supplied by underground storage tanks located within the Cap Sante Marine lease area. The southern portion of the Site, the Fisherman’s Work Area and Parking Area, is generally flat, paved with asphalt, and has been used as a work and parking area since the late 1980s.
Currently, a tenant of the Port of Anacortes leases part of the property where the Site is located to operate a restaurant. Other parts of the property are used for pedestrian access, parking, and boat launching.
Institutional controls in the form of a Covenant were implemented at the Site in 2014. The Covenant remains active and discoverable through the Skagit County Auditor’s office. Ecology found no evidence a new instrument has been recorded that limits the effectiveness or applicability of the Covenant. This Covenant prohibits activities that will result in the release of contaminants contained as part of the cleanup action and prohibits any use of the property that is inconsistent with the Covenant, unless approved by Ecology in advance. This Covenant ensures the long-term integrity of the cleanup action will be protected.
Based on this periodic review which included a site visit in December 2024, Ecology has determined the requirements of the Covenant are being followed. No additional cleanup actions are required by the property owner at this time. The property owner is responsible for continuing to inspect the Site to ensure the integrity of the cleanup action is maintained.
Ecology will schedule the next review for the Site five years from the date of this periodic review. If additional cleanup actions or institutional controls are required, the next periodic review will be scheduled five years after those activities are completed.
