Letter Health Consultation: Percival Landing Rebuild Olympia, Thurston County, Washington
The Percival Landing boardwalk is located in the West Bay of Budd Inlet. The boardwalk runs along the eastern shoreline of West Bay for about 0.9 miles, from the Fourth Avenue Bridge to Thurston Avenue. The City of Olympia plans to conduct a reconstruction project (August 2010 to July 2011) that includes replacing a portion of the boardwalk and restoring shoreline habitat. The rebuilding of the boardwalk consists of removing wooden pilings and replacing them with concrete pilings. During this time, excavating and/or dredging sediments will occur. The sediment in Budd Inlet has been shown to contain dioxin. DOH reviewed sediment data in the West Bay area adjacent to Percival Landing from the Washington State Department of Ecology's Budd Inlet sediment characterization study. Levels of dioxins in surface sediments adjacent to Percival Landing ranged from 5.21 parts per trillion (ppt)--32.51 ppt, and subsurface sediments ranged from 0.18 ppt--50.41 ppt. DOH also reviewed samples in the East Bay of Budd Inlet for a comprehensive bay-wide look at sediments in Budd Inlet. Levels of dioxins in East Bay surface sediments ranged from 15.75 ppt--60.29 ppt. Subsurface sediments from the East Bay of Budd Inlet ranged 0.14 ppt--1.65 ppt.
