The state departments of Ecol-ogy and Health and The Boeing Co. sank test wells in 2011 to deter-
mine whether a dangerous chemi-cal solvent the Boeing-Auburn plant near Algona used decades ago had escaped the property and seeped into the local groundwater.
State officials told the mayors
of Algona, Pacific and Auburn they would release the results last March.
But 11 months passed from that promised release date before the DOE informed the City of Algona
and its residents about what those tests had revealed.
And when Algona residents found out last month after a local

Auburn City Councilman John Partridge announced Monday that he will run for Mayor of Au-burn in the fall 2013 election.
“It is the perfect time to make a positive change in leadership at City Hall,” Partridge said. “We are standing at a key economic moment in the future of our city that calls for responsive leader-ship that will listen to and serve the community.”
Partridge is the fourth can-didate to enter the race, join-
ing Deputy Mayor and City Councilmember Nancy Backus, Iraq war veteran Scot Pondelick and locksmith Frank Lonergan.

Partridge began his first term on the City Council in January 2010. He is active regionally as chair of the King County Law, Safety and Justice Committee, and nationally on the committee for Public Safety Crime Prevention.
He is also owner of Partridge Insurance.
“Four years ago, I chose to prepare myself by learning the business of the City, bringing fresh perspectives, and gaining understanding of its needs. Whether you are a resident or business owner, you should expect to be heard, be safe, and have well-maintained transportation routes,” Partridge said.
Auburn, Partridge said, needs to move forward in a responsible way that does not saddle the next genera-tion with a debt it can’t afford.
City Hall, he said, must be in-touch with the citizens, exercise fis-cal restraint and focus on the people it serves.
“I am ready and excited to lead the charge for the City of Auburn,” Partridge said.
Partridge said his vision as mayor would be to see Auburn continue to emerge as a destination and not a pass-through.
The City, he said, should direct government to be about business, not to be in competition with busi-ness.
And it should maximize its strengths by enabling private/public partnerships and minimize debt and taxes by managing priorities to seek efficiencies.
“I will listen to our citizens, coun-cil members, and staff, and make city government empower Auburn to succeed. There is a new day coming in Auburn,” Partridge said.
This year, Partridge celebrates 30 years of marriage to his wife, Shirlee. The couple have raised three daughters, all of them Auburn High School graduates.
[ partridge from page 1 ] is like, this is it,” Zimmerman said.
Students, teachers, admin-istrators and everybody else laughed, happily aware that when the new, three-story, red brick, Auburn High School opens in September 2014 at its site facing East Main Street, nobody will have to shiver any longer in a drafty, 63-year-old building at the mercy of an unreliable, geezer boiler.
Zimmerman then went on to define just what “new and im-proved” will mean to the people who’ll spend their days in the new building.
“It means a heated-, -non leaking -structurally-secure-and-minimal entrance house of Troy, and that’s what we’re really looking forward to,” Zimmer-man said.
More than 100 people showed up, among them members of school boards past and present, Auburn High School Student Body President Adam Luk and assorted dignitaries, including members of the Auburn City Council and 47th Legislative District Rep. Mark Hargrove, whose daughter will teach math at the new high school.
Also present were Gus Gottschalk, Western Regional President of Lydig Construction, and Guy Overman, the project’s principal architect.
Actual work got under way less than 24 hours after officials, golden shovels in hand, tossed the ceremonial dirt.
District officials pitched awnings for the ceremony on the ground where the high school’s predecessor was built in 1927. When a 1949 earthquake brought down the district’s junior high – where West Auburn High School is today – the district moved the junior
high school students over to the high school and double shifted. The community responded by passing the first $1 million high school construction bond in state history. When today’s Auburn High School opened in 1950, the old Auburn school became an annex, or, as it would become known to generations of students, The Annex. It was demolished in 1980.
Let the work beginOver the next year and a
half, students and teachers and administrators will have to deal with the challenges construc-tion always brings, including intermittent service disruptions, noises, ground shaking and building debris.
Auburn School District Su-perintendent Kip Herren didn’t seem a bit worried about that.
Herren said that the city will soon be able to boast of four modern high schools, all high quality, up-to-date facilities,
where the will of the people, he stressed, not the ZIP code, de-termines just how good they are.
“All of you have had a stake in this great opportunity that is afforded our children, our teach-ers, our community for years to come,” Herren told the crowd. “I am very proud to be part of an Auburn community that has made our children a priority for generations, ensuring that they have the best possible education for the future.”
“Before we know it, the doors will open and the real benefits will commence,” said School Board President Janice Nelson. “Students will have access to classroom technologies, modern science labs, a new commons area for student activities such as after-school clubs and multicul-tural fairs, and increased safety, thanks to a building that will be under one roof with only two points of entry.”
Not much nostalgia for the current high school could be found.
Certainly none from Jana Zipf-Rosa and Jim Rosa. Their daughter, Caitlan, now 23, recalled sitting in the hallways to eat lunch because the school was so overcrowded.
Jim Rosa is president of Public School Employees of Washington in Auburn.
“She would tell me stories about sitting in cold, cold, cold classrooms with water dripping down,” Jana said of her daughter.
Senior Rylee Lewis recalled many cold days inside, including one of her most memorable days at the school: the day the boiler gasped, wheezed, sputtered and finally went out, belching out a plume of black smoke.
“Whatever’s outside, it’s going to be like that inside,” Lewis said of the heating system.
Senior Windy Rattanasone fessed to, well, a bit of nostalgia.
“I am a little sad, much as it needs to be rebuilt,” she said.
District voters approved a $110 million construction bond, casting a record 18,678 yes votes last November.

to Dec. 31, 2011, were up to standards.
“The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Govern-ment Auditing Standards,” the report stated.
In addition to auditing the City’s financial state-ments, the auditor’s office performed an indepen-dent accountability audit looking at other activities of the City to ensure they complied with state laws and regulations and the City’s own policies and procedures.
Among the areas exam-ined were: utility billing and receipting; hotline concerns reported to the state auditor’s office; review of operations; inter-fund
transactions; credit card transactions; general dis-bursements; court activities; and financial condition assessment.
Mayor Cy Sun has openly questioned the integrity and accountability of the
past administration (former Mayor Richard Hildreth was in office during the time frame audited) and current council (also in of-fice in 2011) in his My Turn blog at www.mayorcysun.blogspot.com.
On Dec. 17, Sun referred to an unaccounted for $30,000 in an open cash bank account, $70,000 in missing cash and claimed that the City’s books were out of balance to the tune of $10,9 million.
“Did somebody steal money and mess up the ‘Books’ so as to hide what they stole,” Sun wrote. “The Council is fully responsible for the City’s money, why weren’t we, the people,
informed about the Out-of-Balance for each year? Are they hiding something.”
Although the state audit report did not list any spe-cific allegations, City Coun-cilman Joshua Putnam said the list was “extensive.”
“(There were) more than 40 claims of corruption in the City from vari-ous sources, newspaper articles and blog post-ings,” Putnam said. “They investigated all of them,
went over budget on hours and at the end of the day found no corruption, no improper governmental actions.”
According to the ac-countability audit:
“In the areas we exam-ined, the City’s internal controls were adequate to safeguard public assets. The City also complied with state laws and regulations and its own policies in the areas we examined.”
Auburn police responded to the fol-lowing calls for service, among many others, between Feb. 23 and 26:

[ PACIFIC from page 1 ] MAYOR FIRES CITY CLERK:
The turmoil in Pacific City Hall continued Tuesday with Mayor Cy Sun’s firing of City Clerk Patti Kirkpatrick.
“Patricia Kirkpatrick did not successfully complete her trial period with the City of Pacific and was released from employ-ment February 26, 2013,” Sun wrote via email. “The Finance Director [Betty Garrison], who is also a certified municipal clerk, will be the interim. I will advertise for a replacement immediately.”
Sun added that he didn’t expect any legal action from
Kirkpatrick regarding her ter-mination.
Kirkpatrick has been the city clerk since Oct. 26, when the city council confirmed Sun’s appointment of her to the position.
Kirkpatrick replaced Jane Montgomery, whom Sun fired in July.
Montgomery filed a $2.2 million wrongful termination lawsuit against the City, which was settled out of court for $175,000 with $25,000 paid by the City, $150,000 by Pacific’s insurance company.

The City’s Municipal Services Committee on Monday gave Auburn’s animal control and licens-ing ordinance a second look.
“It’s about errors and omissions from the origi-nal code that we brought forward in November when we started the ani-mal control and licensing,” said Darcie Hanson, City administrative and busi-ness services manager.
Perhaps the most sig-nificant suggested change would add language requiring proof of a valid, current rabies vaccination prior to the issuance of a pet license.
That, said Assistant City Attorney Steven Gross, is about squaring the City’s ordinance with state law.
Washington’s Admin-
istrative Code (WAC) re-quires each local jurisdic-tion to enforce the rabies shot requirement – cities don’t have to administer the shots – and provides penalties for pet owners who don’t get it done. The first shot is valid for one year, each subsequent shot is valid for three years.
“That’s big change, a huge requirement,” said Committee Chairman Bill Peloza.
Rabies shot fees vary based on the fee schedule of the veterinary office in which the shots are given. A pet license for unaltered pets is $60, and $30 for al-tered animals. For altered senior or disabled pets, the fee is $15. There is no fee for service animals, but their owners still must get a license.
The reworked ordinance also:• Officially recognizes
the Senior Lifetime Li-censes King County had offered before the City of Auburn ended its con-tract with the county and opened its own animal control and licensing pro-gram Jan. 1. Such licenses expire with the animal.• Where City officials
last fall had talked about making the licenses expire at the end of each calendar year, the new wording makes the current rolling license expiration official.
Because of constraints the City’s finance depart-ment has imposed, Han-son said, some veterinar-ians are pre-purchasing licenses and selling them at their office. Once the veterinarians or the animal shelter sells those licenses, they buy more from Au-burn City Hall and report to the City who has bought the licenses.
“Our finance depart-ment won’t allow me to enable them to take in money on our behalf, off site, at their clinic, and then report to us,” Hanson said.

Good health – like educa-tion, housing, and economic opportunity – is essential for a strong community. When people can’t get health care, the consequences affect us all.
In King County, good health is out of reach for an estimated 280,000 people who do not have health insurance and access to preventive care. Too often they are forced to bypass
treatment for illnesses, injuries and chronic conditions because of the cost. Inevitably they turn to more expensive emergency rooms when they have reached a crisis point.
These individuals pay a hefty price with their health. The rest of society pays a high price as well. The Office of the Insur-
ance Commissioner estimates that the average insured family pays approximately $1,100 a year in the form of a hidden tax to cover care for the uninsured.
Providing people with access to affordable, primary care is a better formula. This is why I recently trav-eled to Olympia to advocate for the expansion of Medicaid. The State of Washington has an unprecedented opportunity under the Affordable
Care Act to provide 250,000 people statewide – about 79,000 in King County – with health care coverage. The newly eligible are individuals who make up to $16,000 a year or $27,000 for a family of three, households that currently have no viable options for health insurance.
Expanding Medicaid will ensure continued coverage for working adults who have lost their jobs, taken a pay cut, or returned from military service. Thousands will finally receive vaccinations, mental health services and regular check-ups

Can you make ‘The Cut’?
Wannabes and all-stars are welcome.Be prepared for repetitious drills and
numerous takes, sound instruction and occa-sional criticism. Anticipate frustrating whiffs at the fastball and ghastly gaffes in the field.
Most of all, be ready for plenty of drama on and off the diamond.
Marco Angulo – longtime writer, producer and actor – has issued a casting call for base-ball players 18 and older to toil and shine on television. He intends to put Kent, Auburn and the Green River Valley on the reality TV show map with his latest, unscripted project.
Baseball is the backdrop for “The Cut”, a series that follows the storylines of local
players and coaches as they interact on and off the field.
The show follows four locally-grown, 15-mem-ber baseball teams, each hand-selected by the reality show’s coaches, as they come together to struggle, improve and
compete for bragging rights. Tryouts and a casting call begin Sunday
afternoon at Big League Edge in north Auburn.
The show is designed to combine drama with action, misfits with experienced players. Sort of a “Bad News Bears” meets “The Big-gest Loser”.
“Like most reality shows, we’re looking to cast real people with real personalities,” said Angulo, who moved to Federal Way after working in the entertainment industry for 25 years in Southern California. “We’re looking for people who have played baseball as well as those who have not.”
“We hope to attract regular Joes and pros,” Angulo added. “It’s an opportunity to help guide somebody to a better place by using baseball as a way to get there.”
Joining Angulo and Hat Dance Produc-tions on the project is Nicholas Crane
Let’s consider using cameras in our parks
While on my twice daily walk with my dogs at Roegner Park, I observed once again the tracks of a vehicle running on the walking paths, grass, gravel, etc.
This destruction of our beau-tiful parks, as well as graffiti, is an example of how some of our citizens do not honor the taxpayers who pay for these parks, those of us who use our parks and those of use who work hard keeping our parks up to a high standard.
How about putting cameras up to deter and catch these ungrateful punks?
For seven years, I have walked this park while picking up the poop of other dogs, cigarette butts, cans, clothes, etc., debris that others leave behind.
We take pride in our parks and keep them clean and at-tractive for all of us.
And yes, if we don’t spend money on vandalism, maybe we can put it toward our streets and traffic issues. It’s long overdue.– Linda Howard
Backus is the choice for our next mayor
I would like to express my support for Nancy Backus, a candidate for Auburn Mayor. Nancy has served as our city councilmember since 2003 and is your deputy mayor.
Nancy has a deep history with our city. She has worked tirelessly, serving on and chair-ing numerous committees, represented our city at many state and national functions, worked as a finance manager at The Boeing Co. for more than 24-years, and raised a family in our fine city.
Nancy understands our city’s needs for the near term and for the future and has strongly supported planning for economic development and growth over the years while not losing sight of our city’s roots.

for conditions such as diabetes. It will mean healthier parents and secure, thriving families.
Many state legislators I spoke to are supportive of the Medicaid expansion. They recognize that it’s a wise decision from a humanitarian and economic standpoint. A recent opinion poll shows that two-thirds of Washingtonians agree that it will benefit their communities.
Expansion will provide nearly $1 billion in new federal funds to Washington in the next two years and create an estimated 10,000 jobs in our state. With more employed
people comes an increase in local tax revenues and a boost to our local Kent economy. Medicaid expansion will also mean savings in the state budget of approximately $225 mil-lion in the next two years.
Some legislators may consider walking away from these funds – fed-eral taxes that we have already paid – which instead will pay for health care in other states. They worry about what the federal government might do in the future. But the federal gov-ernment has agreed to cover 100 per-cent of the cost of the expansion and gradually decreasing to 90 percent thereafter. The opportunity to cover so many more of our neighbors with
basic health care, under those terms, should not be lost due to the inability to know the future with certainty. This is a good deal now.
It’s time for our state legislators to work together and seize this historic opportunity to keep families, com-munities and businesses strong.

Nancy is a professional woman with a heart for the community. She believes in strong fiscal responsibility and has demonstrated this philosophy time and time again, using her significant education, finance and ac-counting background and civic experience as your City Council representative when voting on important city issues and projects.
As we move forward, we will need the leadership that Nancy will bring to the office as mayor of our city.
I have observed signs that have begun sprouting up around our city that say “Fix Auburn.” For the record, our city isn’t broken and far from it. If someone
believes that our city needs fixing, they had better be prepared to state specif-ics and not make blank statements without merit. I recall the old adage … “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it!”
Our city is coming out of this recession in better shape than most of our surrounding communities because of prudent fiscal spending without the need for big government, and we are a much stronger city and community because of it.
Nancy has played an important role in making this a reality, and I strongly urge you to vote for Nancy as our next mayor in the August primary and the November general election.– Robert Baggett

Joshua Hosford, vice president of Kent-based World CNG, refuels one of his company’s natural gas converted vehicles at the recently opened Small and Sons Fueling Station at 325 C St. The retail natural gas fueling station is the seventh in the Puget Sound Region to be opened to the public. SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter
For tHe reporter
Auburn has a new com-pressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station.
Owners of CNG-equipped vehicles and commercial fleet drivers can fuel up at a new natural gas fueling station at Small & Sons Fueling Station, 325 C St.
Waste Management and Small & Sons own and operate the state’s newest CNG public fueling station, one of seven retail facilities in the Puget Sound.
Representatives from Waste Management, Small
& Sons, and Puget Sound Clean Air Agency celebrat-ed the grand opening with City officials on Tuesday at the fueling station.
“Having a retail CNG station in our city, having them in other cities, I think is a very practical way to do business in our state,” Mayor Pete Lewis said. “I’d like to see more of these sta-tions at strategic locations across the state.”
Lewis continued:“Natural gas in the big
trucks works very well,” he said. “It also works well in fleet vehicles. And we are
going to start taking steps to ensure that we are buying CNG capable vehicles for the City of Auburn, for the
future of Auburn and our citizens. With the supply of compressed natural gas that is available in our area and
the cost, it’s something we should be looking for in a 21st century city.”
Lewis said the city was
already exploring options for fleet vehicles with

Kent-based World CNG, who convert vehicles to run on CNG.
The new Small & Sons public fueling station sells CNG to commercial fleets – transit agencies, school districts, taxis, cities and municipalities – and private individuals with CNG-equipped vehicles, at prices typically one-third below the cost of gasoline and diesel.
In addition to cost savings, CNG reduces par-ticulate matter emissions
by 94 percent, carbon monoxide emissions by 75 percent, nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 49 per-cent and carbon dioxide emissions by 25 percent. As an additional benefit, CNG trucks run quieter than diesel trucks.
“The benefits of using CNG are impressive, and that’s why Waste Manage-ment is transitioning our entire collection fleet of over 18,000 vehicles to natural gas,” Rob Sherman, area director of operations for Waste Management said. “We have over 300 of
them here in the Pacific Northwest area. When you used compressed natu-ral gas, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by over 21 percent over using standard diesel.
“Every collection truck that is transitioned eliminates the use of 8,000 gallons of diesel per year,” Sherman said. “And you know what? Not only is the air cleaner, the CNG vehicles are quieter than traditional vehicles, result-ing in less noise in your neighborhood and your business districts.”

Once Green River Community College was a baseball team without a home.
Although the program once boasted a fine, on-campus field and training fa-cility, expansion at the college over the years overtook the field, rendering the Gators homeless and forcing the team to play its home games at Heritage Park in Puyallup, or at Russell Road Field in Kent.
Last season, the Gators caught a break however, when Auburn High School officials agreed to let the team use its park.
“We were very fortunate to be able to do that,” said Green River coach Brian Embery.
But coming into this season, it ap-peared that the Gators might be home-less once more.
In November, Auburn voters ap-proved a bond to fund the construction of a new high school. Work got under way this week, necessitating the demo-lition of Auburn’s baseball diamond
and displacing the baseball programs for the next two seasons.
The high school’s new lighted, field turf diamond won’t be ready until 2014.
“We’re pleased the bond passed,” Embery said. “Unfortunately, it puts us (and Auburn) in the position

of being homeless.”Luckily for both programs,
the Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation Department stepped to the plate. The City offered to allow the Trojans and Gators to play their home games on the north field at Brannan Park.
“The high school ap-proached us a couple months ago because they knew with the new high school coming they weren’t going to have a field,” said Brian Petty, Auburn Parks, Arts
and Recreation spokesman. “We just have a wonderful relationship with the district and wanted to help.”
Although Embery said Brannan Park was basically sound, some improvements needed to be made.
“To do justice to college baseball we needed to do a bit to make it look nice and have people feel good about the field their kids are play-ing on,” Embery said. “It’s a nice city park. We’re fortu-nate they have agreed to let us play here. And in return, I told them I would fix the
field and make it appropriate for college baseball.”
The Green River and Au-burn programs chipped in to spruce up the field last week.
“It’s a really beautiful setting to play baseball,” Embery said. “The field itself just needed a little tender, loving care. And that’s what 29 baseball players (from Green River) are providing.”
“They’re putting in new cinders between the dugout and home plate. They’re rebuilding the pitching mound,” Petty said. “They’ve also done some sod cutting
to spruce it up and take some of the lips out of the edges. We’re possibly going to put some new topsoil on the infield once it dries out a little. And they’ve put up new bases and pegs.”
In addition, the Auburn baseball team moved the outfield fence padding and backdrop from the old field to the new one.
“The park maintenance staff has been there provid-ing some machinery and support for the schools, but most of the work is being done by the Green River
Community College and Auburn baseball teams,” Petty said.
Embery said the exten-sive work – with his squad providing about 16 hours of labor last week – has been a bonding opportunity.
“We’ve had some really good work parties out here,” Embery said. “The kids work together. They get to know each other and work together. They invest in the program and the facility, and there is value in that.”
Embery hopes that the solid relationship with the
school district would con-tinue beyond the next two years.
“My hope would be in a couple years when the high school has its new field we can continue that relation-ship and move over to play at Auburn High School.”
The Auburn Trojans open South Puget Sound League North 4A play at Brannan Park on March 20 against Jefferson.
Green River plays its first home game on March 30 against Linfield College’s junior varsity squad.
The Trojans were second in league with a 12-4 record.
Also honored from Auburn were se-nior Spencer Fisher, a second-team All-SPSL North 4A selection, and juniors Rio Paul and JJ Ruffin, who were named honorable mentions.
For Auburn Riverside, junior guard Derek Brown was selected to the league's second team. The Ravens' Cody Crawford earned an honorable men-tion.
The Ravens finished 4-12 in league, 6-14 overall.
Tahoma's Coleman Wooten was named league MVP.

tone with physicality and their presence on the boards.”
After ending the first quarter down 18-3, the Trojans adjusted by ratch-eting up their defensive pressure and finding their stride offensively in the second quarter. Auburn outscored the Timber-wolves 16-8 in the second period to pull within seven, with the score 26-19 at the intermission.
“We went into our full-court press and that seemed to slow them down a bit,” Hansen said. “Two players who really turned the table for us came off the bench. (Ju-nior) Rio Paul provided our offensive spark. I
think he scored our first seven points for us.”
Hansen added that se-nior Demontra McNealy’s defensive presence aided in the Trojans’ comeback.
In the second half, Auburn continued to claw its way back into the game, closing to within two points in the fourth quarter.
The Trojans, however, were unable to close the gap completely, as Jack-son punched its ticket to this weekend’s state 4A Hardwood Classic at the Tacoma Dome.
“We played really hard and we competed hard the rest of the game,” Hansen said. “You look back and just wish we had that first quarter back.”
Senior Harold Lee had 14 points to lead the Trojans. Laquell Simmons and Spencer Fisher, both seniors, had 13 points apiece, and Paul chipped in with 9.
Jackson junior Jason Todd had a game-high 21 points, 18 rebounds and was 12-of-12 from the free-throw line. Junior Connor Willgress had 15. Brian Zehr chipped in with 11 points, and Dan Kingma scored 6 points in the contest.
“You can’t take away anything from this team (Auburn) though,” Hansen said. “They were down by 18 points and they never gave up. That speaks to the character of this team and the way they’ve played all season.”

James Cameron “Cam” CutlerJames Cameron “Cam” Cutler, 80,
passed away at his home in Auburn, WA on February 20, 2013 after a long battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Cam was born on the 8th of December, 1932 in Olympia, WA to Garland Wayne and Nevada Mae Cutler. He was a graduate of Cleveland High School and Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA and has been a tax and retirement
planning professional for the last 48 years. He was a founding member of the Sequim Elks Lodge #2642 and actively involved in his local community as Treasurer of the ADA, serving on the Auburn Chamber board for 10 years. Cam was a Navy veteran serving during the Korean War and a life member with our local VFW Post 1741. He also served as a judge for the Miss Auburn Pageant and was on the Board of the White River Museum until he was forced to resign due to illness.
Cam enjoyed many hobbies in his lifetime including fishing, hunting, scuba diving, and most importantly his love of horses during which time he, and his main ride “Whiskey” were active members of Washington Backcountry Horsemen giving countless volunteer hours to our State’s parks and wilderness areas.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Candace “Candy” Cutler, his brother Garland “Gary” Cutler (Shirley); his children Lisa Brenton (Jon), Jace Cutler (Theresa), Kindra Churchwell (Brian) and his step children Christopher Johnson (Keri) and Carleen Bohannon (Terry). He leaves a strong legacy of 12 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren and growing, along with a host of dear friends.
Cam was larger than life and enjoyed it to the fullest. He leaves a hole in our hearts that no one can ever fill.
A celebration of Cam’s life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the American Lung
Association.745684

radio station got on the story, they were not happy.
The toxin is trichloroethylene, or TCE, a chlorinated hydrocarbon commonly used as an industrial solvent. The Boeing Co. used it in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s to degrease and clean airplane parts.
Given that TCE is known to cause cancer after prolonged expo-sure, Algona residents demanded answers about the safety of their drinking water.
Larry Altose, a DOE spokesman, explained what the tests revealed.
“What we know is that there is contaminated groundwater that originates on Boeing-Auburn property,” Altose said. “What we’ve been working on for a year now is to determine how far that goes. The most recent finding is that this plume of contaminated ground-water extends outside of Boeing
property. We don’t know where the plume ends, we know it begins on the property. When we find out where it ends, we can begin cleanup.”
Altose maintains that there is nothing to worry about. One reason is that feet of impermeable clay and rock, laid down during the Oceola lahar off Mount Rainier 5,700 years ago, separates the groundwater from the aquifers that supply Algona’s drinking water.
“This plume does not affect and is nowhere near public drinking water systems in the area,” Altose said. “In fact, it is moving in a direction away from the wells.”
In December 2011, the state and Boeing informed the mayors of Pacific, Algona and Auburn about the testing.
It drilled test wells throughout the area.
But it never told residents what they were.
Richard Hildreth, former mayor of Pacific, said the dearth of infor-mation gave people the impression that the state had something to hide.
“All three of the mayors of Au-burn, Pacific and Algona wanted to make sure this information did get out and that we had complete information,” Hildreth said. “We wanted to make sure that Ecology and Health and Boeing worked with our cities’ public information officers to make sure information got out so it wouldn’t create fear.”
That didn’t happen.Altose agreed that the state
should have gotten the informa-tion out sooner.
“We accept responsibility for that, we apologize to the commu-nity, and we hope that from here on out we will be able to get people the information they need about the investigation,” Altose said.
Hildreth said he believes the risk
of contamination is minuscule.“I think the risk of contami-
nation of our drinking water is probably 1-in-10 million, I think it’s a very minimal risk, because of the barrier between those ground layers,” Hildreth said.
Now all anybody can do is wait for the next tests. The next round of drilling in that part of Algona is set for middle or late March.
“At the time of the meeting in December of 2011, there were about 65 wells that were either already in place or planned. Now I guess it’s over 250 wells, and they actually want to install another 150, 160 of them,” Hildreth said.
One big unknown is whether toxic vapors could rise to the sur-face. To date, testing at the Auburn Valley YMCA next to Boeing and nearby buildings hasn’t turned up any contamination.
