Comments due: 5 p.m., Nov. 30, 2011
Project location: 3365 17th St., Baker City
Proposal: The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality’s Voluntary Cleanup
Program proposes to issue a conditional no further action determination for the
former Tidewater Bulk Plant site located at 3365 17th St. in Baker City. DEQ
issues a no further action determination when a cleanup has met regulatory
standards.
Highlights: The former petroleum bulk plant operated from 1930 to 1967.
Petroleum releases were first documented at the site in 2005. Characterization
of the nature and extent of contaminants was performed in 2006.
The Voluntary Cleanup Program has reviewed site
assessment and remedial activities performed at the site. All of the potential
exposure concerns are addressed through elimination during development of the
site-specific conceptual site model or through institutional controls in the
form of an Easement and Equitable Servitude placed on the site and the adjacent
property. The E&ES prohibits beneficial use of groundwater.

Project location: Railroad milepost 378 near the Weatherby Rest Stop, Baker County
Proposal: The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality’s Voluntary Cleanup
Program proposes to issue a No Further Action determination for the Union
Pacific Railroad derailment site located at railroad milepost 378 near the
Weatherby Rest Stop, approximately 15 miles northwest of Huntington in Baker
County. This site also includes Union Pacific Railroad’s Huntington Rail Yard,
where damaged railcars were taken for processing. DEQ issues a no further
action determination when a cleanup has met regulatory standards.
Highlights: On Dec. 31, 2010, a westbound train hauling box
cars of copper concentrate broke a wheel, causing a derailment of 16
cars. Approximately 6,740 pounds of copper concentrate and surface soil was
removed from the derailment site and transported to Finley Buttes Regional
Landfill for disposal. Confirmation soil sampling performed at both the
derailment site and the rail yard have documented cleanup actions are complete.

Project location: 676 SW Fourth Ave., Ontario
Proposal: The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality’s Voluntary Cleanup
Program proposes to issue a No Further Action determination for the former
Chevron Station 9-4783 site located at 676 SW Fourth Ave. in Ontario. DEQ

Release List (CRL) and Inventory of Hazardous Substances (Inventory).
Highlights: The former petroleum service station operated from 1966 to 1983.
Petroleum releases were first documented at the site in 1989. Characterization

DEQ’s Record of Decision dated October 16, 2006. Remedial actions
included preparation of a Hazard Communication and Soil/ Groundwater
Management Plan, groundwater monitoring, and soil gas and ambient air
testing in the building on the adjacent property.

Comments due: 5 p.m. Nov. 30, 2011
Project location: 5431 SE McLoughlin Blvd., Portland, OR
Proposal: The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality proposes that no
further investigative or remedial action is required to address petroleum and
volatile organic compound contamination at the former A&F Auto Paints site
in Portland. As part of the decision, officially known as a no further action
determination, the site will also be delisted from the DEQ Confirmed Release
List. DEQ seeks public comment on this proposal.
Highlights: Tests conducted in the mid-1990s found that concentrations of
petroleum and other volatile organic compounds in site’s soil and groundwater
exceeded protective criteria established by DEQ. The property owners entered
into DEQ’s Voluntary Cleanup Program in November 2007 to address the historic
petroleum and volatile organic compound contamination. Between November 2007
and June 2011, the owners completed several rounds of soil and groundwater
sampling and measured sub-surface soil gas in order to determine the nature and
extent of the contamination. Testing showed that volatile organic compounds are
not present in soil or groundwater at levels that present a risk to site workers,
or nearby residential and commercial properties. Soil gas samples show that
there is no vapor intrusion threat to the commercial site or nearby residential
properties. Based on these findings, DEQ has determined that no cleanup action
is required and that no further investigation is needed.
How to comment: Send comments by 5 p.m., Nov. 30, 2011, to DEQ Project Manager
Chuck Harman at DEQ’s Northwest Region Office by mail at 2020 SW Fourth Ave.,
Suite 400, Portland, OR 97201; by email at harman.charles@deq.state.or.us; or

click “Submit” at the bottom of the page. Next, click
the link labeled ‘1739’ in the Site ID/Info column.
The next step: The DEQ project manager will review all comments received and
determine if a no further action determination and delisting from the Confirmed
Release List is appropriate. If DEQ receives no comments that warrant delaying
a no further action decision, DEQ will issue a final letter confirming the
decision.
