purchase time into a cleanup fund and will contribute a portion of its profits into the fund for up to 15 years. Over 15 years, the fund is expected to accumulate $1.1 mil- lion, which is the estimated cost for cleaning up the contamination caused by past operations at the property. In return, Ecology will not hold Northlake Shipyard liable for any other cleanup costs, unless

Northlake Shipyard causes further contamination. Northlake also has the option of using the funds to clean up the site under Ecology's supervision.

Northlake Shipyard will restore ship repair operations on the site, which was most recently owned by

United Marine International, Inc.

This is reportedly one of only two shipyards in the Seattle area ca- pable of large repair work required on military craft.
