42200 Joy Road was historically used as a plating facility. A Baseline Environmental Assessment (BEA) contained data showing that this site had PFAS above criteria in one groundwater monitoring well. The highest concentration was 17 ppt PFOA (compared to 8 ppt). A BEA allows a potential purchaser to buy property without being liable for existing contamination.
Groundwater flow appears to be to the south/southwest. The South Branch Tonquish Creek is located ~0.25 miles west of the site.
