As part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s long-term effort to clean contaminated groundwater, soil and sediments at the Wyckoff/Eagle Harbor Superfund site, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is replacing the deteriorated perimeter steel sheet pile wall, starting April 18.

The replacement perimeter wall will protect the Puget Sound and allow EPA to complete cleanup at the site to protect human health and the environment.

“Environmental stewardship is a large component of the Corps’ mission,” said Seattle District Deputy Commander Maj. Joseph O’Donnell­­. As the nation’s engineers, we provide technical and engineering expertise to other federal agencies and at Wyckoff, we’ve supported EPA with their cleanup mission for decades.”
