1IntroductionOn April 9, 2014, the Port of Seattle (Port) and the State of Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) 

entered into Inter‐Agency Agreement (IAA) No. C1400216. In partial fulfillment of the requirements of 

the IAA, the Port completed stabilization and rehabilitation of approximately 345 linear feet of eroding 

shoreline at Terminal 108W (T‐108W) in June 2015. This report summarizes the Terminal 108W bank 

stabilization and rehabilitation actions made possible by IAA No. C1400216. 

Approximately 240 linear feet of bank at the project site was stabilized using alternative techniques, 

including anchored, large woody debris and native riparian vegetation. Existing riprap slopes were 

stabilized on an additional 105 feet of bank.  The project is intended to provide proof‐of‐concept for 

innovative stabilization techniques, combining effective control of chronic bank erosion with 

rehabilitation of important riparian habitat. These methods may be appropriate for future, similar 

marine industrial shoreline locations throughout the Lower Duwamish Waterway (LDW).  

Following city, state, and federal authorizations, bank construction began in late February (mobilization 

and site setup) and concluded the week of June 2 (demobilization and upland site sweeping). A follow‐

up inspection and evaluation of the bank was performed by Port staff four weeks after construction 

completion, confirming that the stabilized bank areas were constructed and performing as intended.  

1.1BackgroundThe LDW Superfund Site consists of five miles of the Duwamish Waterway measured from the southern 

tip of Harbor Island to just south of the Norfolk Combined Sewer Overflow. The water area consists of 

approximately 441 acres and discharges to Elliott Bay, Seattle, Washington. The LDW Superfund Site was 

added to the EPA National Priorities List in September 2001 and to the Washington State Hazardous 

Sites List on February 2002 due to human health and ecological risk levels that warrant action under 

federal and state law. The Record of Decision (ROD, EPA 2014) for the cleanup of the in‐waterway 

portion of the site (441 acres) was published in 2014. 

As a component to the overall LDW cleanup, Ecology has implemented a source control strategy for the 

32 square miles of combined sewer and stormwater drainage that serves the LDW Superfund site. The 

goal of source control is to prevent recontamination of the LDW to levels that exceed the Washington 

State Sediment Management Standards (Washington Administrative Code 173‐204) and the LDW 

sediment cleanup goals (EPA, 2014). Bank erosion is an important contamination and recontamination 

pathway, with the potential for release of previously placed fill materials that make up the LDW 

shorelines. 

Approximately 265 linear feet of unprotected bank at Terminal 108W on the east shore of the 

Duwamish Waterway (approximately river mile 0.5) had visual indications of erosion, mainly due to 

vessel‐generated wakes and currents in the Duwamish Waterway (Figure 1). Erosion disrupts shoreline 

and aquatic areas, allows fill material and soils to enter the LDW, and reduces upland area available for 

marine industrial use.

1.2Pre‐constructionSiteConditionsThe Port’s T‐108W is approximately 8 acres and includes unoccupied marine industrial upland area and 

an adjacent Port of Seattle public shoreline access area (Figure 2). The shoreline at T‐108W is 

approximately 1,200 feet (or 0.23 miles long). The marine industrial upland portion of the T‐108W site 

includes concrete and asphalt pavement and compacted crushed rock surfaces. Shoreline conditions, 

prior to bank rehabilitation, included failed riprap  armoring and an unstable, eroding bank, with slope 

angles ranging from vertical to 1:1 (horizontal:vertical). Shoreline vegetation between top‐of‐bank and 

Mean Higher High Water (MHHW equivalent to +11.3 feet MLLW) consisted of invasive plants and 

limited beach grass and emergent vegetation present below MHHW due to chronic erosion conditions. 

The public access portion of the site is maintained with landscaping consisting of turf, native trees and 

shrubs. An asphalt surface pathway extends to top‐of‐bank areas. As summarized in the Work Plan, five 

past bank samples collected in 2012 (AECOM, 2014) showed concentrations of PCBs in one sample (16 

mg/kg OC or 89 µg/kg dry weight) slightly above the carbon normalized benthic Sediment Cleanup 

Objective (SCO) of 12 mg/kg OC. The OC normalized SCO is the same as the lowest LDW ROD Remedial 

Action Levels (RAL) in intertidal areas. No other analyte exceeded the SCO or the RALs. 

2BankStabilizationActivitiesThe bank stabilization activities were performed by the Port’s Port Construction Services (PCS) along 

approximately 345 linear feet of bank.  Construction oversight, documentation, sampling and reporting 

was performed by Port staff.  Other outside services included OnSite Laboratory for analytical services, 

Waste Management Inc. for soil disposal and Earth Corps for planting. Site as‐builts and cross sections 

are presented on Figures 3 and 4. 

The eroding bank was stabilized using two techniques:  (1) approximately 240 linear feet in the south 

portion of the project area was regraded and rehabilitated using alternative engineering techniques 

using wood instead of riprap and (2) stabilization of approximately 105 linear feet at the north margin of 

the site was accomplished by reshaping and replenishing the riprap profile. 

2.1GeneralSiteandErosionControlSite Boundary and Shoreline/Bank Elevation Limits and Markings.  Consistent with federal, state, and 

City permit authorizations, all work was conducted in bank areas landward of MHHW (+11.3 feet relative 

to MLLW). A pre‐construction survey established and flagging marked the MHHW site contour. No soil 

disturbing activities were performed below MHHW. In addition, the plus nine feet MLLW contour was 

marked, in order to ensure appropriate separation between active work areas and tide levels. No 

Ecology Construction General Stormwater permit was required since less than one acre of soil was 

disturbed.  

Exclusion Zone and Contamination Reduction Zone.  PCS used the T‐108 Site‐Umbrella Health and 

Safety Plan (Port, 2013) to prepare several task‐specific Job Hazard Analysis worksheets (concrete demo, 

bank excavation, stockpiling, etc.). As part of site setup, an exclusion zone (EZ) was established around 

the entire perimeter of the active work area. At the main ingress/egress of the EZ, PCS setup a 

Contamination Reduction Zone consisting of a boot wash and wheel wash for equipment. Outside the EZ

were located PCS’s support trailer and vehicle parking areas. Throughout the project, PCS maintained 

tight control of the work site and minimized dust and track‐out.  Marine Maintenance swept the upland 

site with a vac truck on a weekly basis or more throughout the duration of site activities. 

Erosion Control: Prior to beginning any site work, the Port prepared a site erosion and sediment control 

plan (POS, 2015a). Per the plan, all shoreline and bank construction activities were performed using 

measures to avoid release of sediments to adjacent aquatic area. At the end of each 

regrading/construction period, excavated and incomplete slopes were covered with fiber mats or plastic 

sheeting and secured with sand bags. In addition, all incomplete toe‐of‐slope areas were protected with 

12 inch diameter, ten feet long coir material “logs”, as a temporary erosion control measure.  

Any potential adverse  effects on water quality were minimized by the practices described above. At no 

time during the work did Port personnel see turbid water conditions in the river. No water quality 

monitoring was required since the work was done “in the dry”. 

Spill Prevention: All operating equipment at the site was subject to best management practices (BMPs) 

and Spill Prevention, Containment and Countermeasures (SPCC) implemented to avoid and minimize 

potential releases of fuel and petroleum products used by construction equipment. These measures 

included using diapers under all equipment engines and storing liquids and materials under cover (inside 

the support trailer or container box). 

2.2SouthBankRegradingandPlantingBank  regrading: Approximately 240 feet of the south bank was regraded landward to establish a more 

gradual, stable bank profile, variable in slope between 3:1 to 4:1 (horizontal to vertical). In general, bank 

regrading moved the top‐of‐bank approximately six to ten feet landward.  

PCS used a track‐mounted excavator to accomplish  shoreline  regrading, operating from the landward 

margin of the project  site.  The bank work started by setting a row of large logs, as anchored large 

woody debris along the +11.3 elevation, followed by regrading up‐slope. 

Previously placed fill material and minor amounts of rubble and asphalt paving were removed from the 

slope and temporarily stockpiled at the site.  

A total of approximately 725 tons of soil was excavated and disposed of at the Columbia Ridge Landfill, 

owned and operated by Waste Management. The graded soil consisted of gray to black medium sand, 

likely historic dredge material from the river. No visual signs of staining or discoloration were observed 

or any unusual odors. Prior to excavation, a soil sample of the planned new soil surface was collected 

from test pits (Section 2.3). A summary of removed and imported materials is provided below (Table 1 

and 2).

Installation of large woody debris: Approximately 53 logs, installed as large woody debris, were provided 

by United States Army Corps Engineers (USACE) from their navigation hazard removal program. A first 

row of logs were placed at a new toe‐of‐slope at approximately +12 MLLW. These large logs are 20‐25 

feet in length and minimum of 1.5 feet diameter held in place with steel chain attached to subgrade 

"duck‐bill" anchors. A second large woody debris installation was placed along the shoreline at 

approximately +13 feet MLLW and attached to the subgrade using the same anchors. The logs were 

lifted over the bank and placed using hydraulic arm excavation equipment operating at the top‐of‐bank.   

Logs were pressed into existing substrate, with approximately 70‐75 percent of the log cross‐section 

above grade. Anchors were driven into the substrate approximately 20 feet below grade using the 

hydraulic excavator and hand‐operated equipment. In all instances, the logs were overlapped at their 

ends, with the outer end of the overlap between logs oriented downstream.  

Installation of riparian vegetation: Approximately 200 cubic yards of imported topsoil was placed over the 

re‐graded slope, approximately 1 to 1 ½  feet deep, and covered with a continuous layer of woven plant 

material fabric or fiber matting.  

Plant fiber matting was staked at the top of slope and held in place at the toe‐of‐slope by the installed 

large, woody debris. During the week of May 18, native riparian vegetation was inserted through the 

plant fiber matting as a continuous band of native trees and shrubs, between approximately +12 feet 

MLLW to the top of the regraded bank, for a total of approximately 3,950 square feet coverage. 

Plantings included approximately 63 native riparian trees:  black cottonwood, red alder, Hooker and 

Sitka willow, vine maple, shore pine, grand fir, Douglas fir, and Western red cedar. Native riparian 

shrubs (approximately 215) consisted of tall Oregon grape, snowberry, ninebark, Nootka rose, red osier 

dogwood, and red flowering currant. In addition, approximately 850 square feet was planted, between 

the single and double large woody debris logs, with native beach grass and hair‐grass. Following 

planting, approximately six to ten inches of chipped/shredded wood and  clean‐green waste material 

(arborist chips) was applied to the re‐shaped bank.

Ecology requested that the Port analyze a sample of placed material to verify topsoil quality was 

acceptable for the site.  A three point composite was collected of the top soil material on July 20, 2015. 

The sample was submitted for laboratory analysis for arsenic, lead, copper, zinc, Semivolatile organics, 

and PCBs per Ecology request. A summary of detected results is provided below (Table 3) with copies of

2.3NorthBankStabilizationRiprap repair: Portions of the bank area on the north side of the existing pier (approximately 60 linear 

feet) were also repaired, where previously placed riprap had slumped or was missing.  In addition, 

approximately 45 linear feet of riprap on the south side of the pier (e.g., dock bridge, see Figure 3) was 

also placed for erosion control.  Starting at approximately +12 feet MLLW, the slope was excavated 

landward to a more stable 2:1 to 3:1 slope, and then stabilized with used and new riprap.  

Approximately 50 linear feet of slope north of the existing pier had a riprap bank to about +15 feet 

MLLW. Above this elevation, the existing bank was overgrown with shrubs and some riprap had 

sloughed. This area was stripped of vegetation and graded to a nearly flat slope, then covered with new 

riprap. 

A total of approximately 25 tons of soil from the north bank regrading was excavated from both sides of 

the pier and disposed of.  The regraded and exposed soil consisted of brown and gray silty sand with 

some gravel. The material appeared to be fill material. No visual signs of staining or discoloration were 

observed or any unusual odors detected. Prior to placement of riprap, a soil sample of the graded soil 

was collected (Section 2.3).

2.4SoilStockpileHandling,ProfileSamplingandDisposalIn anticipation of direct‐hauling bank soil (i.e., cut/grade bank soil and place directly into a haul truck), 

the Port, with Ecology’s approval, chemically profiled soil along the south bank that was expected to be 

handled and eventually disposed of off site. Three shallow test pits, ranging from 1 to 3 feet deep into 

the side of the bank were excavated and a six‐point composite sample was collected and shipped to 

OnSite Laboratory for analytical testing, including TPH‐G, TPH‐Dx, RCRA metals, PAHs, and PCBs per the

Results of testing confirmed the soil was appropriate for Subtitle D disposal. Waste Management 

accepted the profiled soil by issuing a Non‐Hazardous WAM Approval (Profile #110010WA, Appendix B) 

on April 4, 2015 to PCS. A total of 751 tons of soil was hauled to Waste Management’s Alaska Street 

transfer facility and ultimately disposed of at their Columbia Ridge landfill in Oregon (WM Bill of Lading, 

Appendix B).  Graded/generated soil was either loaded into a truck and hauled directly to the WM 

facility or temporarily stockpiled on site. PCS constructed a temporary stockpile holding cell that was 

lined with plastic and bermed with Ecology blocks. No stormwater runoff was observed or recorded in 

weekly summaries, due to dry conditions. Soil stockpiles were also covered each night. 

2.5Bank‐SoilSamplingandAnalysisThe chemical quality of the exposed bank soil was determined by sampling and analyzing the final 

surface (top six inches) of the graded banks. Two locations – T108‐B1 and T108‐B2 – were generally co‐

located to previous bank soil sample locations BS‐1 and BS‐2 (AECOM 2012), except moved inland of 

+11.3 feet MLLW. South bank samples T108‐B1 and T108‐B2 were collected prior to bank grading

activities by excavating a shallow test pit down to the anticipated elevation of the final bank slope. 

North bank sample T108‐B3 was collected once the bank was graded and immediately prior to 

placement of the riprap cover. As shown on Figure 2, north bank sample T108‐B3 was located 

approximately 10 feet vertically east or upland of the 2012 BS‐3 sample. Former sample BS‐3 is located 

in an area of shoreline bank that has not experienced erosion (e.g., the riprap cover remains in place and 

structurally stable).  Therefore sample T108‐B3 was located just up‐bank or land‐ward of former sample 

BS‐3 and in an area that was graded and stabilized during this project. 

Bank soil samples were analyzed by OnSite Environmental Laboratory for PCBs, percent total Organic 

carbon, PAHs, and metals. The analytical results are summarized in Table 5 below.  The table presents 

the samples that are not OC normalized since less than 0.5% organic carbon was present in samples. 

These results are compared to the LDW RALs or Ecology’s Lowest Apparent Effects Observed Levels 

(LAETs) where there are OC normalized LDW RALs. Table 6 presents the sample that could be OC 

normalized and is compared to the LDW Remedial Action Levels (RALs); full laboratory reports are 

provided in Appendix A.  This summary was revised to include an updated lower level detection limit for 

PCBs, per Ecology request.

In general, the new bank soil samples were either ND or below the LDW RALs. In addition, the result of 

this work stabilized the slope, so the direct bank‐soil erosion pathway is unlikely. Combined, this 

indicates that remaining soils will not result in recontamination of the sediment remedy.   

2.6ConstructionInspectionsandReportingConstruction inspections were made continuously during excavation to determine the presence of any 

unanticipated contaminated soil based on visual and olfactory evidence. Both PCS personnel (daily) and 

Port environmental staff (weekly) were inspecting regraded soil and reporting their findings (or lack of 

findings) in weekly reports. During the work, Port staff also contacted Ecology on a regular basis to 

provide construction updates and observations. Copies of all weekly construction reports are provided 

as Appendix C and relevant project photos in Appendix D. 

3PostConstructionMonitoringandReporting

3.1PostConstructionEvaluationThe physical condition of the regraded and stabilized slope (overall slope stability, log and soil 

movement, new vegetation survival) was inspected approximately four weeks after completion of the 

bank work. A second inspection will be performed approximately 6 months (October 2015) after 

completion of the bank work; findings will be reported to Ecology in a letter report.

4‐Week Post Construction Inspection.  A 4‐week follow up inspection was performed by Port staff.  

During this inspection, the bottom area of the leading (i.e., lowest) log line and the areas of topsoil filling 

and plantings were inspected . Finally, the 80‐foot long north bank area with new riprap was inspected. 

During this inspection, no changes to the as‐built conditions were observed, including no erosion or 

depositing near the logs. The new plantings were receiving daily watering from a temporary irrigation 

system; they all appeared healthy except for less than 5% of the plantings that were either brown or 

dead.  Photos from the inspection are included in Appendix D. 

6‐Month Post Construction Inspection.  (See addendum due in October 2015). 

3.2ReportsThis Performance Report is submitted as a requirement of the project work plan and contract. The 

report includes a summary of field activities, validated sampling data, data review and analysis, 

performance observations and photographs, final as‐built sections, and an evaluation of post 

construction performance. Further, the analytical data generated as part of this work has been 

submitted to Ecology’s Environmental Information Management (EIM) data base.
