Thanks Dan. I am assuming when you say "dip tank area" you are talking about that dip tank between the old buildings and Molalla Ave - the one we objected to being simply capped? What is the proposal for that work you refer to about the dip tanks? Please do dig and keep us informed about this proposed expansion. I didn't think there was much left to expand to except for these parts that are on hold till mitigation is complete. Susan

Susan –

Thank you for the Molalla Pioneer news article, and sorry for the delayed response. I was out ill most of yesterday and wanted to take time to provide a thoughtful response to your question. We would not expect proposed expansion of the PAC Fiber “Enterprise Zone” to extend into any portions of the Floragon site where cleanup work has not been completed, including Bear Creek, the Dip Tank Area, or the 16-acre SE corner. We will do a little digging and confirm the extent of potential expansion and get back to you ASAP.

Regarding the status of Floragon site work, our current plan is to selected and implement a remedy for the Dip Tank area in 2017, likely late summer. This work has to be done prior to Bear Creek to ensure that there is no potential for recontamination of the creek, given that the Dip Tank Area is the source of both runoff and stormwater discharge to the creek. We expect Bear Creek work to occur in 2018, and will of course keep you appraised of developments, including any planning related to Bear Creek restoration work.

Respectfully,

Dan Hafley

Hi Dan,

 

Last we heard, there was still no approved mitigation plan for the Bear Creek area of Floragon. I just read that Pacific Fiber which is located on the northern part of Floragon is planning to expand to the "south" on Floragon. I assume that "south" is not the part of Floragon that you said DEQ would not approve for NFA until mitigation was approved and done? Please let us know where this stands. We requested a hearing when mitigation is proposed that DEQ accepts.

 

Sincerely,

Susan Hansen
