The Dakota Creek site is an active shipyard that is used for vessel construction and maintenance. Since around 1879, the Anacortes Port of Dakota Creek site has been used for maritime-related industrial activities like shipping, shipbuilding, repairs, bulk fuel storge, and vessel storage. These activities have resulted in soil, groundwater, and sediment contamination.
The Pacific Pile & Marine project team supported the major redevelopment and expansion of the Dakota Creek Industries Shipyard and involved demolition; dredging; transloading and upland disposal. 36,000 CY of contaminated sediments and 105,000 CY of non-contaminated sediments were dredged. Contract used an alternative procurement method and included design-build elements.
