**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. General Information

The ASHUE ROAD SITE is located at Section 17, Township 11, Range 19 in Wapato, Yakima County, WA, and is located on fee property within the reservation for the Yakama Nation. The Site covers approximately 2.46 acres. There is a residential home within the Site. The area surrounding the Site supports agricultural and residential uses. During 2012 a portion of the Wapato High School in Wapato, Washington was demolished. The Wapato School District No. 207 engaged T.W. Clark Construction, LLC as the general contractor for the demolition work. T.W. Clark Construction, LLC hired Groat Bros., Inc. as sub-contractor for performing demolition work and transporting demolition materials from the High School. The demolition work included the demolition of materials that contained asbestos. A portion of materials generated during the Wapato High School demolition project were transported to the Site for disposal. The Site is not licensed by the State of Washington, Yakima County, or the Yakama Nation to receive demolition materials or materials that contain hazardous substances for disposal. EPA conducted a field investigation of the Site on October 5, 2012. EPA’s investigation revealed the presence of asbestos in the demolished materials disposed of at the Site. Asbestos is a hazardous substance. EPA oversaw the performance of a removal action at the Site by T.W. Clark Construction, LLC, and Groat Bros. Inc. The removal action involved the excavation and off-Site disposal of the high school demolition wastes. EPA incurred approximately $311,330.96 performing or overseeing the performance of response costs at the Site. Pursuant to the terms of the CERCLA Section 122(h)(1) Settlement Agreement for Recovery of Response Costs, the settling parties will pay EPA $95,000. In return for the payment of this amount, EPA covenants not to sue the settling parties for past response costs—response costs incurred by EPA prior to the effective date of the Settlement Agreement—at the Site. In the event that EPA continues to incur response costs at the Site, EPA’s covenant not to sue does not include costs incurred by EPA after the effective date of the Settlement Agreement.

Dated: October 15, 2015. Chris D. Field, Manager, Emergency Management Program, EPA Region 10.
