Underground Tank Removal Underway on Olympia's 19th Avenue

On March 31, 2026, the Washington State Pollution Liability Insurance Agency issued a Determination of Non-Significance for an underground storage tank removal project at 1221 19th Ave SE in Olympia, filed by applicant Jesse Cherry. Public comments are due by April 23, 2026.

The project involves removing an underground storage tank and excavating the site. Depending on what is found, the scope may expand to include soil sampling and cleanup of contaminated materials.

The Pollution Liability Insurance Agency is the lead agency on the review, not the City of Olympia. Residents who want to submit comments on the environmental review can do so through the Washington State SEPA register before the April 23 deadline.
