The Department of Ecology invites you to comment on an agreed order (legal agreement) and public participation plan for the Paine Field Fire Training Pit PFAS cleanup site, located on the western boundary of Paine Field near South Everett. Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were released to the soil and groundwater from firefighting foam, formerly used at the site during required training activities. There have been no reported impacts to area drinking water sources from the site.


The following documents are available for review:


  • Agreed Order: Legal agreement between Ecology and Snohomish County (County) requiring the County to investigate environmental conditions, and complete a remedial investigation, feasibility study, and cleanup action plan for the site.


  • Public Participation Plan: Describes how Ecology will inform the community about the site activities and ways to become involved.


The public may request a meeting about the proposed agreed order and public participation plan. Ecology will hold a meeting if it determines whether one is necessary. To make a request, contact Kristen Forkeutis before September 10 at 425-240-4353 or Kristen.Forkeutis@ecy.wa.gov.
