Railroad Avenue Cleanup - Former Pope & Talbot Wood Treating Site
The Port is working with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to clean-up approximately 20 acres at Railroad Avenue due to creosote contamination at the former Pope & Talbot site. The site was used for wood treatment from 1912 to 1960. The Port purchased the property in 1963. The final Feasibility Study was submitted in September 2022 and approved by DEQ in November 2022. The Staff Report summarizing the preferred remedy was completed in May 2023 and the Record of Decision was issued in Sept. 2023. For more information, please visit the DEQ's Scappoose Bay Cleanup Work and the DEQ's Environmental Cleanup Site Information database page.
