We own the building and property at 17300 West Valley Highway, Tukwila, which is leased to the United States Printing Ink Corporation (USPI). We are currently proceeding on a plan of tank removal and soil remediation which is scheduled to start on 9/28/92. On the north side of the main building we have 12 tanks ranging in size from 2,500 to 12,000 gallons. Four of those tanks are beneath a metal building (Two 10,000 and two 6,000 gallon tanks). We have been advised by our consulting engineers, Shannon & Wilson, that we will need your approval to abandon those tanks in place so the building does not need to be dismantled. In the event we do so, the tanks will be cleaned, holes drilled through them and the soil underneath examined for contamination. If the soil is contaminated, the building will be destroyed and the tanks removed, and the soils remediated. If there is no contamination the tanks will be filled with slurry and abandoned. The tank removal contractor is the Lee Morse Co. The lessee, USPI, has told us they want the building replaced in the event it needs to be removed. The cost for doing this are high and we prefer to avoid these costs if feasible. All work done on the site will be supervised by Shannon & Wilson and we have given a copy of the report on site assessment to Joe Hickey at the Department of Ecology as the basis for our indepen- dent action. We would like your permission to abandon the tanks in place if this appears feasible. Please advise us.

Box 88700, Seattle, Washington 98188 (206) 251-8700 Seattle•Portland•San Leandro•Los Angeles February 3, 1989 Mr. David Ray Tukwila Fire Department 444 Andover Park E. Tukwila, WA 98188 Dear David: Enclosed is a copy of my notes from our 12-7-88 meeting regarding underground tanks. My apologies for being somewhat tardy. Very Trul, Yours, ohn A. Vitalich JAV/baj \ NOTES FROM MEETING ON UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS - 12/7/88 INTRODUCTION Nli Fl U A meeting was conducted at the United States Printing (USPI) plant at 17300 West Valley Road, Tukwila, WA on 12/7/88 to: (1) review the current underground storage tank situation at the Tukwila plant, and (2) discuss the operational, environmental, safety and legal issues involved in planning for future operations on site. Those persons invited and in attendance were: Darryl Dalisky - Technical Manager USPI - Seattle Bill Hickman - Production Manager USPI - Seattle Gean Lale - Reliable Steel Fabricators - Olympia Bruce Leber - RELCO (Building Owner) Lewis Leber - RELCO (Building Owner) Sam Leiner - Chief Engineer USPI - East Rutherford Michael Muller - O'Sullivan Construction - Seattle David Ray - Tukwila Fire Dept Fire Prevention Officer John Vitalich - PNW Regional Manager USPI - Seattle Invited, but declining to attend was Tom Lufkin of the Washington State Dept. of Ecology. BACKGROUND (JOHN VITALICH - USPI) 1. United States Printing Ink headquartered in ER, NJ, is the operator and lessee of the ink manufacturing plant located on this site. My name is John Vitalich. I am the Pacific Northwest Regional Manager for USPI. Bruce and Lew Leber are representatives of RELCO, the property owner and lessor. (Introductions of attendees) 2. USPI purchased selected assets of Leber Ink Company in June of 1985, entered into a lease agreement with RELCO and began operating the Tukwila plant. 3. Included in the RELCO owned facilities was a underground storage tank farm of approximately 200,000 gal capacity. 4. USPI, from the outset, has been concerned with the potential hazards and liabilities of underground tank storage and have acted accordingly: a. As a condition of sale USPI required pressure testing of all tanks before closing the transaction. b. Cathodic protection was installed on the tank farm shortly after the Leber purchase. c. A monitoring system was added later to assure the cathodic protection system remained operational. / \ 5. USPI believes that increasingly stringent legislation, together with the inevitable deterioration with time, dictate that a more in-depth review of future tank storage plans be conducted. 6. Sam Leiner, Chief Engineer at USPI corporate in New Jersey was given the assignment to come out here to collect the information necessary. 7. The interested parties at this meeting were assembled to contribute their knowledge, ideas and prejudices to this process . CURRENT TANK FARM (BRUCE LEBER) 1. Twenty-one steel tanks were installed between approx 1970 and 1982. Capacity of the tanks range from 1500 to 12000 gal. The tanks are asphalt coated steel, customary at the time for storage of petroleum products. 2. The tanks are located under concrete slabs at both the North and the South ends of the building. The North side tank farm was the first installation. The South side tank farm was installed later in response to the "Energy Crisis". 3. Installation of the tanks was by contractors skilled in such installations. Most of the installations were made by ASTEC Petroleum Specialties - Seattle. They do a lot of service station installations for Mobil and Texaco, etc. 4. Most tanks were fitted with external pumps that removed product by suction. A pressure switch in the line was set to turn off the pump on pressure rise when the dispensing valve was closed. Several light product tanks were fitted with submersible turbine pumps. Signal lights show when these pumps are on. All control power is off when the plant is shut down. 5. Float switches were installed on active tanks approx. 1980. These switches were wired to shut off fill pumps and ring an alarm if the tank were overfilled. 6. The tanks were Petrolite tested by ASTEC and certified leakfree before Leber Ink was sold to USPI in June of 1985. 7. Cathodic Protection for all tanks was installed by Norton Corrosion Limited in December of 1986. A monitoring system with pilot lights was added shortly thereafter. USPI CORPORATE PERSPECTIVE (SAM LEINER) 1. USPI Corporate is concerned with the changing regulations and wants to be sure that they are doing the right things, both in terms of being a good citizen and in minimizing company exposure. / 2. In particular, we ore concerned with the potential hazards associated with on aging underground tank farm that is in close proximity to a navigable waterway. 3. I am here from New Jersey on an investigative, fact-finding mission to collect information. The information I collect here will be applied to our future planning process for this facility. 4. We appreciate you all taking the time to attend this meeting to provide your input to our planning process. LOCAL GOVERNMENT POSITION (DAVID RAY) 1. The Tukwila Fire Dept. has responsibility for EPA related as well as fire protection/prevention matters. In the EPA area, the Tukwila fire Dept has a responsibility to the State Dept. of Ecology. 2. The City of Tukwila currently follows the 1985 UBC and UFC, but expects to adopt the 1988 version soon. 1988 requirements are considered even now in anticipation of the new regulations. 3. Tukwila has not allowed above ground storage tanks within its city limits, since enacting prohibiting legislation in 1985 or 1986. Some member(s) of the city council are strongly opposed to above ground tanks. (as a matter of principle (7)) 4. Even if above ground tanks were allowed by the city, UBC/UFC setback requirements for above ground tanks may not allow such installations. 5. Above ground, buried tanks are acceptable. Such installations have been approved recently. 6. The Fire Dept. would oppose any installation that was in violation of UBC/UFC codes. 7. Existing underground storage tank installations will be subjected to increasing levels of control. Known or envisioned. future requirements include: a. Mandatory cathodic protection. b. Inventory control/monitoring system to detect leaks. c. Ground sampling/test wells (1990). d . Overfill protection. e. Regular pressure testing. f. Secondary containment to include piping systems. g . Double wall tanks and piping (built-in containment). h . Eventual removal of singlewall tanks that have been in place without cathodic protection (1990-2000) / 8. The Tukwila Fire Marshall will make the determination if abandoned underground tanks can be filled and left in place, or must be removed. This is done on a case by case basis; but past practice has usually not allowed filling in place. 9. Permits must be obtained from the City to remove or fill abandoned underground tanks. The permit would be contingent upon prior soil inspection to assure there is not excessive soil contamination. STATE DEPT OF ECOLOGY ON UG TANK REMOVAL PROCEDURES (LEW LEBER) 1. John Conroy who was the supervisor of the Hazardous Waste Section of the Washington State Department of Ecology, Northwest Region, stated they were in massive confusion right now, but anticipates that after the first of the year they will have established their new guidelines and procedures governing tank removals. 2. At this time they don't require that one of their inspectors visit a site when tanks are removed: they look to the contractor to be sure the job is done right. 3. If they feel there is a site problem they will have an inspector present when the tanks are removed. 4. If there is more than 200 parts per million of contaminants in the soil they will require that the site be cleaned up to this level before the excavation can be filled. 5. I asked how they would determine whether its 200 parts per million or worse for contamination he said the contractor would use a commercial laboratory. 6. When I asked for a specific laboratory and mentioned Laucks Lab, he said they would be fine. UNDERGROUND TANK PERFORMANCE (GEAN LALE) 1. I would have serious concerns with tanks installed underground in 1970 and not protected cathodically until 1985. 2. Any tank that has been unprotected for ten years or more is suspect. (echoed by David Ray) 3. Statistics show that 60% of the leaks associated with underground tanks are from piping, not the tank itself. 4. We build USTI licensed tanks in single and double wall designs. These tanks come with fire inspection/test service and guaranteed insurability. 5. We have recently sold above ground tanks for installation in the local area. Including a large diesel fuel installation for Boeing. UNDERGROUND TANK REMOVAL (MICHAEL MULLER) 1. Any plan to go from underground to above ground should consider the relative costs of insurance. 2. Insurance coverage requirements on underground tanks are $ 1.0 million per tank (disputed by Bruce Leber -- $ 1.0 million per tank farm) 3. EPA may consider your material as hazardous even though it has o high flash point because "fish can't swim in it". 4. There isn't that great a difference in cost to remove/dispose vs fill tanks in place. a. Estimates opprox $ 40,000. to remove/dispose of 10-8000 gal tanks and replace slab. b. Estimates $ 30,000. to clean and fill some tanks with concrete slurry (Tukwila will require on engineers certification that tanks are clean prior to filling they would prefer slurry to sand) 5. Abandoning and filling tanks in place limits the future development of the site. (removing 8,000 gal chunks of steel - encased concrete would not be easy) PARADOX OF LIMITATIONS (JOHN VITALICH) 1. USPI recognizes the potential hazards of an aging underground tank farm -- particularly in this location -- and wants to do something about it. 2. But, I get the impression that our hands are being tied by regulations that may prohibit us from taking steps to reduce the potential hazards (ie, replacing underground storage with above ground) . RESPONSE (DONALD RAY) 1. The City of Tukwila is not interested in putting anyone out of business. 2. We will work with you to help solve the problem. UBC CODE RE: TANK SETBACK (after meeting) 1. I don't believe our materials are subject to the requirements of UBC (Division V). I believe our materials are Flammability Category III C (flash point over 200 degree F) -- Sam Leiner f F \ 2. If your materials do not fall under that section of the UBC, the Fire Department would not object to above ground tanks. -- David Ray 3.

VESSEL POSTING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY T-1370-01 17300 wE.S1 ' AI1e`r' Nor Results obtained from the limited, shallow, soil assessment at the facility suggest that of the seven area investigated, petroleum hydrocarbons, primarily consisting of oil and grease as determined by utilization of EPA Method 418.1, are present in shallow soils at concentrations which exceed the 200 ppm Model Toxic Control Act (MTCA) Method "A" Cleanup Levels (for) Soils. Halogenated hydrocarbons analyzed for in each area's "worst case" saturated soil sample were found not to contain halogenated hydrocarbons at concentrations which exceed the specific compound reporting limit. Thirteen priority pollutant metals were also analyzed for in each area's "worst case" saturated soil sample and determined to be at concentrations which do not exceed current MTCA Method "A" Cleanup Levels (for) Soil with the exception of the area which contains residual ink residue. Metals which do not have specific cleanup levels were found to be at concentrations similar to those determined for the facility's abandoned septic leach field soils. In a single area at the facility, residual ink residue in soil contained elevated levels of metals; this particular area has no apparent relationship to the oil release incidents at the facility. Further analysis by Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) methods of this area's soil will be required for an assessment of disposal options. Analysis of several "worse case" samples by the Washington (state) Total Petroleum Hydrocar- bon - Hydrocarbon Identification (WTPH-HCID) techniques yielded inconclusive data required to discern among the individual type and grades of oils used in the production of ink at the facility. Field prepared duplicate samples, analyzed by the project laboratory, were found to be in good agreement with each other suggesting that field sampling protocol utilized for representative sampling from each area was adequate. Laboratory internal quality assurance/quality control data is acceptable. From the data generated in the areas investigated at the facility during S&W's limited, shallow, soil investigation, an estimated volume of petroleum saturated soil in excess of the MTCA Method "A" 200 ppm cleanup level is on the order of 50 to 80 cubic yards. Additional soils which were found to contain residual ink pigments and elevated levels of total metals may be RECEIVED AUG 0 7 1992 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT i SHANNON & WILSON, INC. T-1370-01 on the order of one to two cubic yards. Further analysis and delineation will be required during clean-up activities at the site. This estimate does not include the areas which contain the 21 underground storage tanks at the facility, nor does it include groundwater.

T-1370-01 TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 02 SUMMARY OF SITE CONDITIONS AT 11200 WEST VALLEY HIGHWAY, TUKWILA, WASHINGTON 1.0 INTRODUCTION Technical Memorandum 02 provides for an environmental assessment of the facility located at 17300 West Valley Road, in Tukwila, Washington. Services at the above referenced facility were completed during the period of June 1 through 6, 1992. Services have been carried out by Shannon and Wilson, Inc. and it's sub -contractors in accordance with our contract of April 17, 1992. 2.0 AUTHORIZATION Activities at this facility have been provided as authorized by our contract dated April 17, 1992. 3.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of this assessment is to develop a professional opinion as to the presence, distribu- tion, and quantity of potentially hazardous substances, as defined by the Model Toxics Control Act, in soil at seven locations at the facility. Information is also presented which describes historical practices and uses on the facility. Tasks to be completed during this phase of work at the facility include: • Perform a reconnaissance of the immediate vicinity to gather preliminary data for the development of the site history. • Conduct a visual assessment of the surficial conditions at the property for indications of potential environmental issues. • Review records of the relevant environmental site history to identify previous land use or other activity which could have led to the presence of hazardous materials at the site. • Prepare and conduct a limited, shallow soil investigation at seven areas which were previously identified by Ecology in their Inspection Report dated March 1, 1990. • Prepare a report summarizing the results of the above assessments and our professional conclusions and recommendations for future compliance issues. 1 SHANNON & WILSON. INC. T-1370-01 The scope of services is not an evaluation of wetlands or a geotechnical engineering study, nor is the sampling program intended to be a remedial investigation. The intent of this effort by S&W is to augment previous data collected at the site. 4.0 SITE LOCATION The subject facility is comprised of two properties which are located on West Valley Road, in Tukwila, Washington. The facility is located in the southwest quarter of Section 25, Township 23, Range 4, King County, Washington. The facility and the surrounding geographical features are illustrated in Figure it, Vicinity Map. Figure 2, Property Site Tax Lot #21, shows the subject property in relationship to the surround- ing tax lots, easements, and the Green River. The facility is bordered to the north by Cello Bag Company, to the west by the West Valley Road and the Green River, to the south by the Alaska Copper & Brass Co., and to the east by the Puget Sound Power and Light Company right-of-way and the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Railroads as illustrated in Figure 3, Site Plan. 4.1 Facility Description The facility description is based on a review of public records and a visit performed by a Shannon & Wilson engineer on April 17, 1992. The facility is approximately 1.81 -acre in size and consists of three structures containing an office, warehouse/production facility, and a storage building. The total area of the structures is 20,975 square feet. The office and warehouse/production facility was constructed in 1966 of ordinary masonry and structural steel. The storage building located on the north side of the structure was constructed in 1973 of prefabricated metal. The facility contains 36,400 square feet of paving and 21 underground storage tanks were noted as an accessory data item. 4.2 Site Visit The site visit included a visual reconnaissance of the facility and surrounding areas which included the confirmation of the locations of seven areas which had previously been cited as 2 SHANNON & WILSON. INC. T-1370-01 potential sources of contamination as described in Ecology's March 1, 1990, site report. Ecology's report is contained in Appendix A for review. Ecology's March 1, 1990 report indicated that, in part, six individual areas at the facility contained Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, as quantified as oil and grease by utilization of federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 418.1, and 11 priority pollutant metals quantified by the Inductive Coupled Plasma (ICP) scan, are present in site soil at concentrations which exceed current Ecology cleanup levels. This assessment of the facility lead to it's inclusion onto the Ecology Hazardous Waste Investigation and Cleanup Program (HWICP) list. Each of the six locations were field verified and marked for future soil sampling activities. The six Ecology noted areas included: • Area No. 1: • Area No. 2: • Area No. 3: • Area No. 4: • Area No. 5: • Area No. 6: At the request of USPIC, identified as follows: • Area No. 7: Oil transfer station located on the west side of the south platform. The southern oil water separator. The area to the east of the south oil water separator in the vicinity of the adjacent railroad tracks. East side of plant along oil transfer piping. East side of plant near shed located on the north platform. North side of Plant; North Oil Water Separator. a seventh area was added to the soils investigation. The area is Abandoned septic leach field located on the southern property line parallel to the concrete platform. 5.0 DATA SOURCE EVALUATION Data sources reviewed for this site assessment included readily available public information which included records and maps pertinent to the property.

Underground storage tanks are distributed at the facility as follows: North Platform: Five, 12,000 gal.; three, 2,500 gal.; two, 10,000 gal.; and two, 6,000 gal. USTs. South Platform: Four, 12,000 gal.; three, 8,000 gal.; and two, 2,500 gal. USTs. Product stored included several brands/grades of petroleum process oil utilized in the printing ink formulations and approximately 8,000 gal. of motor grade diesel fuel and approximately 8,000 gal. of CHEVRON Thinner 325; comprised of 99% paraffins and <1% aromatics. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), supplied by the facility, are appended in Appendix B for review. No physical analytical testing of residual material within each UST at the facility was conducted during this assessment. Underground storage tanks remain intact at the facility as of this writing. 8.0 SHALLOW SOIL INVESTIGATION Shannon and Wilson, Inc. contracted with USPIC and RELCO Partnership, in part, to provide a soil sampling program which would allow for an assessment of the presence and distribution of residual petroleum hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, and 13 priority pollutant metals at the seven locations described in section 4.2 of this report. 6 SHANNON & WILSON, INC. 8.1 Previous Inspections and Analytical Results T-1370-01 A previous site inspection was executed at the site by Mr. Norm Peck, representing Ecology, on March 1, 1990. The results of this site inspection, as well as the analytical results obtained from selected soil and wastewater samples, are contained in the Appendix A of this report for review. Results of the inspection conducted by Ecology indicated that the site contains six individual areas which show signs of being impacted by oil(s) caused from improper housekeeping practices. 8.2 Summary of Sampling Program S&W developed a randomly positioned sampling grid in the field at each location based on field observations of distressed areas and topography. A subset of sampling points were selected for obtaining soil samples at the surface (i.e 2 to 4 inches) as well as at depth (i.e. 12 to 16 inches) below grade (bg). The intent was to characterize the extent of residual compounds of concern in soil and to maximize the amount of data that can be obtained from both the horizontal and vertical substrate. A backhoe was utilized at the facility to obtain soil samples from Area No. 7, the abandoned septic leach field. All other samples were collected with hand tools. Sampling protocol followed the established method as outlined in Shannon and Wilson's work plan dated May 7, 1992. All soil samples were collected with new, disposable stainless steel spoon and thoroughly homogenized in a new, disposable aluminum pan and then placed into a laboratory supplied container, identified with a unique sample number, placed in a cooled ice chest and logged in the field notebook. Laboratory analytical services were supplied by Alden Analytical Laboratories, Inc. located in Seattle, Washington. Copies of the laboratory data and Chain -of -Custody forms are appended in Appendix C of this report. The main elements of the sampling program at the site were to: • Obtain and analyze discrete soil samples for total petroleum hydrocarbons. 7 SHANNON & WILSON, INC. T-1370-01 • Obtain a "worse case sample" from each area and screen for priority pollutant metals and halogenated hydrocarbons. • Obtain and analyze additional surface soil samples to estimate "background" concentra- tions of metals in site soils. 8.3 Results Refer to Figures 5 through 10 for orientation of sampling locations within each of the designated areas. Area No. 1 - Oil Transfer Station Area No. 1 and Area No. 7 are illustrated in Figure 5. Sample numbers 004 through 014 are designated for Area No. 1. Concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons are noted to decrease with depth and distance from the fill pipes as illustrated in Figure 5. Refer to Appendix C. Halogenated hydrocarbons analyzed for with EPA Method 8240 were not detected at concentra- tions at or in excess of the Reporting Limit. Refer to Appendix C. Metals listed below were detected at the following concentration; all other priority pollutant metals analyzed for and not listed were found to be below the method reporting limit: Arsenic 3 Chromium 26 Copper 37 Lead 57 Nickel 20 Zinc 87 Area No. 7 - Abandoned Septic Drain Field ppm ppm ppm ppm ppm ppm The upper section of the soil column at the facility is comprised of sandy silts which are well compacted. Below this upper horizon of compacted material, soils grade downward into a sandy silt/silty sand. During the excavation of the two test pits in Area No. 7, the septic drain field, groundwater was observed at an approximate elevation of nine feet below grade (bg). Soil samples obtained from the two test pits contain less than 15 parts per million (ppm) of total petroleum hydrocarbons as determined by EPA Method 418.1. Refer to Appendix C. Halogenated hydrocarbons analyzed for with EPA Method 8240 were not detected at concentra- tions at or in excess of the Reporting Limit.

Analysis of several "worse case" samples by the Washington (state) Total Petroleum Hydrocar- bon - Hydrocarbon Identification (WTPH-HCID) techniques yielded inconclusive data required to discern among the individual type and grades of oils used in the production of ink at the facility. 11 SHANNON & WILSON. INC. T-1370-01 Halogenated hydrocarbons analyzed for in each area's "worst case" saturated soil sample were found not to contain halogenated hydrocarbons at concentrations which exceed the specific compound reporting limit. Thirteen priority pollutant metals were also analyzed for in each area's "worst case" saturated soil sample and determined to be at concentrations which do not exceed current MTCA Method "A" Cleanup Levels (for) Soil. Metals which do not have specific cleanup levels were found to be at concentrations similar to those found in the facility's abandoned septic leach field soils which were found to be relativity devoid of hydrocarbons. In a single area at the facility, residual ink residue in soil contained elevated levels of metals; this particular area has no apparent relationship to the oil release incidents at the facility. Further analysis by Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) methods of this area's soil will be required for an assessment of disposal options. Field prepared duplicate samples, analyzed by the project laboratory, were found to be in good agreement with each other suggesting that field sampling protocol utilized for representative sampling from each area was adequate. Laboratory internal quality assurance/quality control data is acceptable. From the data generated in the areas investigated at the facility during S&W's limited, shallow, soil investigation, an estimated volume of petroleum saturated soil in excess of the MTCA Method "A" 200 ppm cleanup level is on the order of 50 to 80 cubic yards. This estimate does not include the areas which contain the 21 underground storage tanks at the facility, nor does it include groundwater. 10.0 RECOMMENDATIONS Shannon and Wilson, Inc. recommends that the following steps be implemented at this facility in accordance with prevailing Ecology regulations and the intent of the concerned parties which initiated this work: • USPIC and the RELCO Partnership should review and comment on the findings of this report. Upon completion of this review, S&W will prepare a final copy of this report for issuance to Ecology's underground storage tank division located in Bellevue, Washington for their review and analysis with respect to the status of this facility on Ecology's HWICP List. 12 SHANNON & WILSON. INC. T-1370-01 • During review by Ecology, USPIC and the RELCO Partnership should continue to progress forward with the arrangements for the removal and closure of the 21 under- ground storage tanks at the facility. This will involve the solicitation of competitive bids from several local contractors for these services. • Proceed with the facility's engineering considerations which will entail the relocation of equipment on the north loading platform. • Prepare for logistical considerations, off-site disposal and/or on-site treatment of petroleum saturated soils from the areas investigated during this assessment as well as those quantities of soils which may be generated during the removal of the 21 under- ground storage tanks at the site. • Re -sample Area No. 4 and analyze sample by TCLP for an assessment of disposal options. • Prepare engineering controls to be implemented at the facility which would eliminate the need for the oil water separators and therefore the need for the NPDES permit. 11.0 CLOSURE The findings we have presented within this technical memorandum are based on limited research at the facility. They should not be construed as a definite statement regarding reported condi- tions. Shannon and Wilson, Inc. performed these studies within our best judgement to adequate- ly describe the known and anticipated conditions at the facility. The data presented in this technical memorandum should be considered representative at the time of our observations. Changes in the conditions of the property can occur with time from both natural processes and human activities. In addition, changes in governmental codes, regulations, or law may occur. Due to such changes, our observations at this facility may need to be revised wholly or in part, due to changes beyond our control. This technical memorandum was prepared for the use of the USPIC and the RELCO Partnership and its representatives in the study of their facility in Tukwila, Washington, and in no way guarantees that an agency or it's staff will reach the same conclusions as Shannon and Wilson, Inc. 13 SHANNON & WILSON.
