Second phase proposed for groundwater cleanup at Boeing Everett plant

BELLEVUE - The Boeing Company (Boeing) plans to install and operate a  
new system north of its Everett aircraft manufacturing plant as part  
of an ongoing interim cleanup project to remove and treat  
trichloroethylene (TCE) contaminated groundwater, under a plan  
submitted to the Washington Department of Ecology.
Ecology seeks public review and comment on the proposal through Oct.  
30, 2013.

The new system will operate with an existing groundwater extraction- 
and-treatment system installed last year to protect water quality in  
Powder Mill Creek. The projects minimize the migration of TCE- 
contaminated groundwater off Boeing property and to the creek.

The existing system draws TCE-contaminated groundwater from wells and  
pipes to equipment that treats the water before discharging it into  
the Everett sanitary sewer.

The additional, second, system will further protect the creek's water  
quality. It will add more wells, north of Seaway Boulevard on city of  
Everett property, to remove and treat contaminated groundwater. The  
combined system will discharge the treated water into the creek  
downstream of the contaminated area.
