2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
During the time period from 03/11/2015 to 04/17/2015, the following site activities were conducted:

Division A

• A total of 52,450 gallons of oil/water was shipped from the site for treatment and disposal.  Of the 52,450 gallons shipped, approximately 5,000 gallons of oil was decanted from the total liquid mixture.

Division B, C, and D

• 72 birds were decontaminated and released into the wild (native ducks) or adopted (domestic geese).

2.1.3 Enforcement Activities, Identity of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs)
The responsible party has been identified and has integrated into Unified Command. 

2.1.4 Progress Metrics
Waste collected for disposal as of 04/17/2015

2.2.1 Anticipated Activities

The Washington State Department of Ecology and the RP are negotiating the terms of additional investigation and the removal/remediation of petroleum-contaminated soils (PCS) in Division A to be overseen by Ecology’s Toxics Cleanup Program.  The negotiations may include the removal/remediation of contaminated soils already generated as a result of the spill response.  If these negotiations fail or if the removal/remediation of the PCS are not included in the RP’s response, the Unified Command will have to arrange for the removal of the PCS and potentially conduct additional measures to secure the site.
