JCPH also investigates accidental spills of hazardous materials, as well as reviews environmental sampling and testing of leaking underground storage tanks. When found, these sites are evaluated and referred to the Toxics Cleanup Program from the Washington State Department of Ecology.

Successful cleanups are properties that have been cleaned up either through court orders, or homeowners' efforts.
