The proposed project prepares 30-acres of undeveloped and underdeveloped land at the Port of Tacoma on the Blair-Hylebos Peninsula, referred to as the Neptune Development Site, for future industrial development.  The Project includes three onsite elements including invasive snail eradication; Model Toxics Control Act cleanup of two sites on the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Confirmed and Suspected Contaminated Sites List, and pad-ready development consisting of demolition of existing structures and fill and grading the entire Site.  The Project includes wetland mitigation that will occur at two off-site Port-owned properties and potential use of advanced mitigation credits from the Port’s Lower Wapato Creek Advance Mitigation Site. No other site development or improvements are proposed as part of the current action.  Future industrial development will be evaluated and permitted separately.

Location: 

The project is located at 1212 Taylor Way, Tacoma WA 98401 between Taylor Way and E Alexander Ave.
