Changes proposed to the Lower Duwamish cleanup plan based on updated health risk information
The Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund site is a five-mile segment of Seattle’s only river, the Duwamish. The river flows between the neighborhoods of South Park and Georgetown and through the industrial core of Seattle into Elliott Bay. Because of past industrial and other processes there are high levels of chemicals in the river sediments, water, and fish. These contaminants pose a risk to the environment and to people’s health, especially for those who eat resident fish from the waterway. In 2014 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a final cleanup plan for 411 acres of contaminated Waterway sediments.
Along with PCBs, dioxins/furans, arsenic, and other contaminants, cPAHs are targeted for cleanup in the Lower Duwamish Waterway. EPA is proposing changes to the cPAH levels in the cleanup plan to incorporate updated health risk information. These changes are described in a proposed Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD).
The chemical benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) is one of seven carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (cPAHs). In 2017 EPA scientists finalized an update to the 1987 health risk information for BaP following extensive technical review. The update indicated that the cancer risk associated with BaP is less than previous estimates.
We value your input and would like to hear from you. The proposed ESD is available for your review and comment until March 8, 2021. EPA will present information, and answer questions, about the proposed ESD at an online community meeting on February 17, 2021. The presentation will also be shown in Spanish, Khmer, and Vietnamese, with interpreters for the question and answer session. The recorded presentations will be available online after the meeting.
No decisions will be made at this meeting. EPA is accepting written comments at Region10@epa.gov on the proposed ESD until March 8.
To attend the online presentation on Wednesday, February 17, 2021 from 5:30 – 7:00 PM:
The meeting will be held via Zoom. All participants (English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Khmer) should use this link:

During this time, it is important to bring awareness to sexual violence and educate the community on prevention tactics. Sexual assault is a major public health, human rights, and social justice issue, and it requires everyone’s help to bring it to an end.
This program will be presented by Riddhi Mukhopadhyay (she/her), who is currently the Executive Director at the Sexual Violence Law Center and has been with SVLC since 2012. Riddhi was as a sexual assault and hospital advocate prior to her legal career. Before joining SVLC, Riddhi practiced criminal defense and is a former Berkeley Law Foundation Legal Fellow and attorney with the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP) where she represented immigrant detainees with mental health and competency issues. She currently serves by appointment on Washington State’s Gender and Justice Commission and the City of Seattle’s Immigrant & Refugee Commission. She is on the board for the Coalition Ending Gender-Based Violence and is adjunct faculty at the University of Washington School of Law. Riddhi received her Juris Doctorate from Seattle University School of Law and her Bachelor of Arts from Duke University.
The program will begin at 6:15 pm and will be followed by a Q&A session which will end at 7pm, when our monthly meeting will be called to order. This event is open to the community. Join via Zoom: zoom.us/j/98150692239
