Chris Gregoire and the Legislature established the Puget Sound Partnership in zoo? to develop and implement an aggressive action agenda, spur action and ensure measurable success for restoring the health of Puget Sound by 2020. The(jral of the Toxics Cleanup Program is to accelerate cleanuPS witlbin a ha If inile of the shoreline and in the water. As part at this effort,seven embayinents were chosen as pri- ority cleanup areas_ Early actions taken in these embayments will contribute significantly tuwardseff-c)rtStorestorethe Sound.

Budd Inlet* *Managed by the Southwest \ Regi onaIToxicsClea nup Program r Harbor Clean Up / Restoration Background - MTCA • In 2012, Department of Ecology (Ecology or DOE) published a harbor sediment report on the Port Angeles Harbor. Based on that report, DOE notified the City and Port that they are two of the several Potentially Liable Parties (PLPs) under the Washington State Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) for some portion of the contaminants in the harbor. The City and the other entities named as (PLPs) — awil the Port, Nippon, Merrill & Ring, and Georgia Pacific — joined together to share costs and jointly 41 approved a series of agreements, which included: an Agreed Order, Participation Agreement, and Environmental Services Agreement. U ALL MkAp—mb� ORDER Harbor Clean Up / Restoration Background - MTCA • MTCA is Washington state law • It is concerned with cleanup of contaminated sites • It is similar to the federal environmental clean up law -- Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) A Remedial Investigation defines Remedial the nature,extent,and magnitude of Investigation /' L pollution at a site In order to Identify the best method for cleanup. Interim Action Iftheconta inant are found to pose a risk to human health or the environment ,gy will di—ct B,eingt,take immediate action to red—this risk.This hall, Boeing property In 2004,when an Interim Action was taken to contain ■ a kn wn source for the plume.Since that time,chemicals found have been at low levels and not expected to pose a risk to human health or the environment. The Feasibility Study takes the Information from the fy an deal FeasibilityInvestigation to identify and evaluate Study cleanup alternatives.Then an optimal alternative will be selected and incorporated into the Cleanup Action Plan. The Cleanup Action Plan specifies CLEANUP PLAN cleanup standards,methods,and Cleanup schedule,describes the steps to be Action Plan taken,and includes any additi.n.1 nvlronmerdal monitoring required during and after the cleanup. Implementation of the Cleanup Cleanup Action Plan includes Monitoring design,construction, operations and monitoring. Opp--u—for public eoriir.. Harbor Clean Up / Restoration Background - NRD • In addition to MTCA, there is the Natural Resources Damages (NRD) process. • This is under federal law, and not state law. • The purpose of this law is different from MTCA. The purpose of MTCA is to clean up contaminants that have been released. • In contrast , the purpose of NRD is to repair the harm done by the contaminants while they were in the environment.

I MO..A Guiding Principles • The City and Port view the harbor cleanup as a benefit to our community, our citizens, and our businesses. • The City and Port adopt a proactive approach to a clean harbor. • Of utmost importance is a comprehensive approach to harbor cleanup. • Neither the City nor the Port can afford to go through this process more than once. • We need commitment to one process that addresses all MTCA cleanup and NRD restoration issues in our harbor. • All of those who contributed to the contamination should pay their proportionate share of the clean up costs. ao4L- G S pe C.i f IG MeOGUROUe Achievaoie, Re6oistic Time used The harbor cleanup and the restoration should include well- defined steps that proceed efficiently on a reliable timeline with finality. The cleanup and the restoration should comprehensively protect human and benthic health and enhance the quality of life in the community. The cleanup and the restoration should at the same time support a working harbor with a variety of family-wage jobs. The cleanup action should be based on sound science. The cleanup action must acknowledge that funds are limited and must be spent wisely. All stakeholders should work cooperatively to accomplish the cleanup and restoration; they should share technical data with others to reduce duplicative studies and overall costs . All who contributed to contamination should contribute to the clean up . The cleanup action should satisfy both MTCA and NRD simultaneously. Goals Summary The harbor cleanup and the restoration should include well-defined steps that proceed efficiently on a reliable timeline with finality. The cleanup and the restoration should comprehensively protect human and benthic health, and enhance the quality of life in the community. The cleanup and the restoration should at the same time support a working harbor with a variety of family-wage jobs. The cleanup action should be based on sound science. The cleanup action must acknowledge that funds are limited and must be spent wisely. Goals Summary Stakeholders should work cooperatively to accomplish the cleanup and restoration; they should share technical data. All who contributed to contamination should contribute to the cleanup. The cleanup action should satisfy both MTCA and NRD simultaneously. To accomplish these goals, the City and Port ask the other PLPs, DOE, LEKT, and other interested tribes to work cooperatively with us in a directed and purposeful cleanup. } „attl IL Vv fovpp .- Joint Meeting Between Port of Port Angeles Commission and Port Angeles City Council Airport Master Plan Update Presented January 30, 2017 By Jerry Ludke and Karen Goschen SPORT N' A 8 N 1 N G T O N Agenda • Background • Critical Aircraft • Aviation Demand Forecast • Required Runway Length • FAA Impacts of Shorter Runway Length • Community Impacts of Shorter Runway Length • Maintaining Current 5,000' Landing Distance • Action Plan • Discussion and Recommendations .1 oP.OR�T W A S Ft 1 11 f; IG fl Background • Since 2010, a 4-step process has been in place to restore full use of the runway at Fairchild Airport — Step 1: Lincoln Park Master Plan — completed in 2013 • City/Port MOA signed in June 2014 to work with FAA — Step 2: Environmental Assessment (EA) — formal federal process to find preferred alternative for obstructions — Step 3: Avigation Easement between the City and Port — Step 4: Obstruction removal (if EA deemed necessary) .1 oP.OR�T W A S Ft 1 11 f; IG fl Background • In early 2015, the FAA required a Master Plan update prior to an EA to determine the critical aircraft and the associated required runway length • After receiving 95% grant funding from the FAA and WSDOT, the Port executed a $658,000 contract with Reid Middleton, Inc. in 2015 for MP Update • An initial study advisory committee meeting and public open house were held in January 2016 — Nathan West, City Director of Community & Economic Development, is an advisory committee member .1 oP.OR�T N" A S Ft 1 11 f; IG fl Critical Aircraft • Critical aircraft: The most demanding aircraft type, or grouping of aircraft types with similar characteristics, that make regular use of the airport — Regular use is 500 annual operations, excluding touch- and-go operations — An operation is either a takeoff or a landing — Military aircraft operations cannot be included oP.0AI-FLFS W A S Ft 1 \' f; 'f fl Aviation Demand Forecast • Current data to establish baseline — Rite Bros.
