naval undersea warfare engineering station (4 waste areas)

HWY 308, E END

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division, Keyport was acquired in 1913, to develop a still-water torpedo testing range. The 340-acre site is located on a peninsula 15 miles west of Seattle, Washington. The Center's activities include the maintenance of torpedoes, fuel storage, welding, painting, carpentry, plating, and sheet metal work. Historical activities that have contributed to the contamination include plating, painting, torpedo fuel sump leakage, landfilling a marsh, sludge disposal, and cross connections of drain lines to the shoreline. The base has downsized its industrial operations and is currently a research and test facility in support of undersea warfare programs. There are approximately 1800 people who work at the base. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through federal actions. The Navy is the lead agency for the cleanup at Keyport. The State of Washington Department of Ecology is the lead regulatory agency.
