CITY OF PORT ANGELS REMEDIAL ACTION GRANT
NARRATIVE STATEMENT
HISTORY/BACKGROUND
Port Angeles Harbor(Harbor) lies in the shelter of Ediz Hook, located on the Washington shoreline of the
Strait of Juan de Fuca (Strait). As summarized in Cultural Resources Guidance for United States Coast
Guard Group Port Angeles, Ediz Hook, Port Angeles, Clallam County, Washington (Larsen 2006), the spit
developed in part as a delta of the Elwha River, along with shoreline erosion of glacially derived
sediments. The Harbor area enclosed by the spit is a sediment depositional area,with net sedimentation
rates ranging between approximately 0.14 and 2.5 centimeters (cm) peryear (NewFields 2012). Erosion
of soils from shoreline bluffs was a significant sediment input to the Harbor prior to settlement and
nearshore filling (Herrera 2011). In parts of the Harbor, woodwaste inputs during the early to mid-1900s
also appear to have been significant sediment sources.
The Harbor's industrial development began with sawmills and fish packing operations in the late 1800s.
Typical operations included saw mills, fish packing, bulk fuel facilities, pulp and paper mills, and other
wood processing-related operations. Other uses included the U,S. Coast Guard Station and marine
shipping. In general, waterfront industrial operations peaked in the 1950s and 1960s.
HISTORIC/CURRENT CLEANUP AGREEMENTS
The Department of Ecology has issued an Agreed Order to Rayonier Properties LLC (Agreed Order No. DE
6815). Site boundaries have not yet been defined for this order.
WESTERN PORT ANGELES HARBOR SITE STATUS
The Western Port Angeles Harbor cleanup effort is in very early stages. In 2012 Department of Ecology
identified and notified potentially liable parties. A majority of those parties are pursuing a proactive and
collaborative approach to harbor clean up. Collectively they are negotiating an agreed order with
Department of Ecology. The agreed order will result in a remedial investigation and feasibility study.
SUMMARY OF PAST/PLANNED REMEDIAL ACTIVITIES
Significant investigation of Harbor Sediments has already occurred in the Port Angeles Harbor. In 2008
the Department of Ecology undertook a Harbor Sediments investigation. This resulted in a final report
that was released in December of 2012. In 2008 a substantial number of creosote pilings were removed
as part of the Puget Sound Initiative. Beyond that effort few remedial actions have taken place in the
Port Angeles Harbor.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES/LANDUSE
The entire Port Angeles Harbor is zoned Industrial Heavy. The harbor is one of the City's primary centers
for economic development activity. Log rafting has occurred in many areas of the Harbor.The largest
area with current and historical log rafting and wood chip/sawdust barging activity is located along the
north side of inner Port Angeles Harbor, extending along the arm of Ediz Hook" (Ecology 2012a).
Portions of this area have been leased by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
at one time or another to Rayonier, Nippon Paper Industries USA(Nippon) and predecessors,the Port,
and Foss Maritime. Log dump areas include a public log dump yard on the southern shoreline, and a
Rayonier log dump facility on the spit. Current major industrial operations include wood-related loading
operations, boatyard-related operations.
CONSULTANT AGREEMENTS
The City has retained Integral Consulting as its technical consultant for harbor cleanup issues. To fulfill
that role, Integral first became familiar with the operational history and environmental studies in Port
Angeles Harbor. Integral attended technical meetings with Ecology regarding the Site. The firm also
reviewed and prepared comments on Ecology's draft Sediment Investigation Report and associated
draft Supplemental Data Evaluation, draft Preliminary Cleanup Goals report and draft Sediment Dioxin
Source Study report. It is anticipated that this firm will take on a substantial portion of the Remedial
Investigation and Feasibility Study efforts.
SCOPE OF WORK
The City, in cooperation with other potentially liable parties proposes to conduct a remedial
investigation and feasibility study. The RI/FS will focus on the sediments located below the intertidal toe
of the slope, located west of the Rayonier Study Area and south of the Ediz Hook spit.These sediments
have been impacted by a variety of historical operations.
