PORT ANGELES — The plan for disposing of more than 180,000 cubic yards of soil excavated from the graving yard site on West Marine Drive should be ready by Thursday.
None of the soil can be moved until a completed plan is approved, Lloyd Brown, Department of Transportation spokesman, said Friday.
Clallam County Director of Environmental Health and Environmental Quality Andy Brastad said Friday the county won’t dictate where the soil goes.
Brastad said the preference is to bring the soil to the Fields Shotwell recycling facility in Eclipse Industrial Park, two miles west of the truck route off U.S. Highway 101.
Environmental testing done at the graving yard site in May revealed trace amounts of contaminants in some of the soil, Brastad said. The department of transportation has at least two options for that soil, he said.
