Thank you Rebecca. Nice to meet you Kara. We would like to have a heads up when the remedial investigation is completed so we may review it too, along with the client. We also would like a sense for an overall timeline estimate -- if this is just the investigation, then when would we expect cleanup to begin and end?
We are looking into funding sources, but it is determined by the cleanup status of the site.
Thank you,

Hi Cassie,
Great to hear that PHCC is considering redevelopment of the area.
I am no longer in DEQ’s Northwest Region (which includes the Portland-metro area), and am now the DEQ statewide brownfield coordinator. I’ve copied Kara Master (NWR brownfield coordinator) who can assist with any brownfield-specific questions. Jim Orr is the project manager familiar with the ESCO site, so I defer to him regarding site-specific questions.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Wells-Albers (she/her)

Subject: ESCO site update
Greetings again Jim and Rebecca,
We would like to get an update on the status of the former ESCO site please. We are prospective purchasers of part of the site that would transform the site into different uses than what historically were on the site, if the City passes a zoning change for the NW district. We would like to better understand the environmental conditions of the site, and timeline for potential clean bill of health.
Thank you,

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your voicemail. I have included a handful of folks who are a part of the York Working Group, a project supported by Portland Harbor Community Coalition and others. We are wanting to know -- for sites that are designated as closed - no further cleanup sites, such as the ESCO sites on 24th and 25th Avenue in NW, what will happen if the City up zones as planned early this year, from heavy industrial to some form of mixed use and future uses begin to shift?
We would like to know from a prospective purchaser angle, would this require a conditional no further action? Or another environmental phase I and II assessment, based on the proposed future use and zoning changes? For example, if it changes from a vacant property to having commercial/residential mixed use, what will the risk be and how will DEQ mitigate for that quickly?
Thank you,

I have temporarily settled on sacred, yet stolen lands--the traditional village sites of the Clackamas Chinook, the Wasco-Wishram, the Willamette Tumwater, the Multnomah and other Chinookan peoples as well as the Tualatin Kalapuya, the Cayuse, the Molalla and other tribes and bands of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers.
