SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT:

The 476695 Wyckoff Debris Removal and Wall Replacement is a construction project to replace a failing sheet pile wall at an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) superfund site located on Bainbridge Island, Washington. The major components of the wall replacement include a subsurface reinforced soil-mix wall installed using the cutter soil mix (CSM) method; ground improvements using In-Situ Soil Stabilization (ISS) to improve wall stability and reduce loads on the CSM wall or sheet pile wall; and an upper, un-coupled, precast wall along the entire site perimeter. Installation of this replacement wall will require removal of subsurface debris such as old bulkheads, riprap, foundations, and backfill material in the areas to be disturbed. Historically Wyckoff was a wood treatment facility. Over this period of operation, the soil and groundwater at Wyckoff became severely contaminated with creosote products, pentachlorophenol (PCP), and diesel which was used as a carrier fluid for PCP based wood treating oils. Creosote and diesel fuel remnants can be found as Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPL) in soil and sediment at the site.
