The Naval Air Station-Whidbey Island Seaplane Base site is on the National Priorities List. The site is one of four major areas of Whidbey Island in Puget Sound belonging to the U.S. Navy. The environmental contamination on-site consists of chromium (75 ppb), and lead (21 ppb) in surface water; cadmium (40 ppb), chromium (31 ppb), and lead (32 ppb) in ground water; polychlorinated biphenyls (9 ppm), fluorene (25 ppm) and lead (280 ppm) in soil; arsenic (170 ppm), cadmium (58 ppm), nickel (200 ppm), lead (1,000 ppm), chromium (88 ppb), zinc (570 ppb), pyrene (2 ppm), and fluoranthene (2.4 ppm) in sediment. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via ground water, surface water, soil, sediment, and shellfish.
