Site Visit to the ESY Site

About 32 students went to the Port of Everett today to visit our site (the Everett Shipyard) for the SMoCS courses. We met representatives of the Port, who is responsible for the cleanup activities of the site. They presented background information about the Port, the site, and MTCA and then took us on a tour of the site. We saw the marine railway where boats were removed from the water and the areas where maintenance on the boats was conducted. The contaminated material from sand blasting was still present on site, which was interesting for the students to see. Our tour guides also showed up the new boat storage area, where all surface run-off is collected in underground tanks and sent to the municipal water treatment facility, essentially eliminating non-point source run-off from the site.
