Click here to visit Ecology’s picture album of waterfront cleanup activities. The graphic shows the five areas designated for cleanup to relieve elevated levels of arsenic, copper, lead, and zinc in soil and sediment considered to be a risk to human health and the environment.

Ecology reports that due to this spring’s river conditions, they were not able to conduct work in all five cleanup areas. Significant progress, however, was made on the seasonal beach and all hillside cleanup and capping work is complete. The work will stop for 2024 in July or August, then pick back up in spring 2025.

Access to the boat launch and park is open and will continue to be through the length of the project via the access road to the east of the closure.
