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.
