Dear Dan,

Thanks for the update.

As far as the mitigation of the parts of these sites/ Bear Creek that need likely remedial action and the legal agreement you say will be required, my concern is that this supposed investigation/ and likely remedial action for both Avison #1 site/ Bear Creek and the questionable part of Floragon/ Bear Creek has been needed for DECADES. Does DEQ plan to put time frame into the legal agreement or do you plan to let it drag on for more decades? When will the owners/insurers be forced to deal with the contamination, get an approved plan and get on with mitigation? It's clearly been more important for DEQ and the owners to approve parts rather than deal with the unpleasant FACT of the known contamination.

Susan –

I wanted to let you know that public notice has been issued for a conditional no further action determination for the 16-acre southeast corner of the Floragon site, which includes the two large buildings remaining on site but does not include the former dip tank area and Bear Creek. We still expect that remedial action will be necessary in these remaining areas of the site that have not yet received closure. Also, in advance of issuing a NFA for the subject parcel, DEQ is requiring a commitment in writing from Avison Lumber Co. and Floragon Forest Products to complete dip tank area and Bear Creek remediation, as necessary, under DEQ.

Attached is a copy of the public notice for your consideration. Public comment is due by the end of the month. I have also included a copy of DEQ’s closure memorandum. If you would like figures and attachments for the memo, I can send separately via email and will post the documents on DEQ’s website

(a Google search of “DEQ ECSI 0009” webdocs” should lead you to the documents).

Respectfully,
