What is going to happen with the slag peninsula?
The slag peninsula, which is owned by the Tacoma Metro Parks District, will be capped by Point Ruston under their agreement with EPA. The cap will prevent people from coming in contact with the slag, and prevent rainwater from seeping through the slag. The peninsula, which is composed entirely of slag, covers approximately 23 acres. Huge stones (shoreline armoring) have been placed around the outside perimeter to prevent erosion.
