4 W WASHINGTON AV

The FMC Corp. (Yakima Pit) site, covering approximately 4 acres in Yakima, operated as a pesticide formulation facility from 1951 until 1986. From 1952 to 1969, FMC disposed of agricultural pesticides in a "poison pit" on-site. Some of the pesticides that may have been disposed of in the pit include DDT, diazinon, and dieldrin. A 6-foot chain link fence restricts access to the pit area. There are approximately 10,000 people living within 1 mile of the site, with the nearest residence located about 200 yards from the facility. Area groundwater is used for drinking water, industrial purposes, crop irrigation, and livestock watering. Groundwater in the immediate vicinity is currently not used, and the land is zoned industrial. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through federal and potentially responsible parties' actions.
