Background and Analysis:
In September 2010, the City of Olympia, along with LOTT and the Port of Olympia, signed onto an Agreed Order with the Washington State Department of Ecology (WSDOE) for the cleanup of the Port's East Bay properties. The City signed on as a party to the agreement because the current site of the Hands on Children's Museum is within the cleanup boundaries of the Agreed Order. The City performed all of the required cleanup work at this site as part of the construction project. Our obligations under this order have been fulfilled.
