Cleaning Up: Another season of Everett Smelter cleanup work under way

By Meg Bommarito, Everett Smelter Cleanup Project Manager


The first phase of the Everett Smelter cleanup work, which removed contaminated soil from 24 properties, finished up this May. Work is already under way for the second phase.

In early June, Ecology contractors began work on 55 additional properties. Work will continue through the summer and fall and will wrap up in early November.
