The Washington Department of Ecology continues to make progress on cleanup of the Northport waterfront area. The site is located on the Columbia River bank and shore next to the Northport City Park and around the boat launch. As described in the Forum’s summer 2022 newsletter, elevated levels of arsenic, copper, lead, and zinc that are a risk to human health and the environment were found in soil and sediment. The newsletter also summarized the Cleanup Action Plan (CAP), including public comments.

Ecology expects the Engineering Design for the adopted CAP to be complete and ready for public review in the spring of 2023. If all goes well, site cleanup will begin in the fall of 2023.
