Puyallup City Council approved a remedial excavation project at 615 and 621 14th St SE on September 2. The project will remove 687 cubic yards of petroleum-contaminated soil and replace it with clean fill. The work is required to address pollution from past petroleum use.

The cleanup is part of routine environmental management for properties with known contamination. The project must be completed by the end of 2026. Residents near 14th St SE will see temporary construction activity during the excavation and backfilling process.

The city's approval follows standard environmental review procedures. The project does not require public hearings or major changes to city infrastructure. The next step is to begin excavation work as soon as weather permits.
