NOTICE OF APPLICATION
November 27, 2012
Northwest Pipeline GP
Oregon City, Oregon
Has applied for a Renewal to their Title V Federal Operating Permit
(No. 03-2729)
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has conducted a preliminary review of this application and is providing an opportunity for public comment. Activity at the facility consists of the operation of a natural gas transmission pipeline. The draft permit renewal decreases the NOx and CO limits, and adds GHGs and PM2.5 as new regulated pollutants. The facility is located in an area designated in attainment for all criteria pollutants, but is within 1 mile of an ozone maintenance area and a CO maintenance area, and is a major source of CO and NOx, which is a precursor of ozone. More information on this facility’s emissions of air pollutants is contained in the review report.
The application, draft permit, review report, and relevant information are available for public review, by appointment, at DEQ’s Northwest Region Office, 2020 SW Fourth Avenue, Suite 400, Portland, Oregon, by calling (503) 229-5582. To obtain a copy of the draft permit call Lynne Kent at (503) 229-5582.
Written comments must be received no later than January 4, 2013, and may be submitted to the DEQ office processing the permit:
Department of Environmental Quality
Lynne Kent/Air Quality Section
2020 SW Fourth Avenue, Suite 400
Portland, OR 97201
If written requests from 10 persons, or an organization representing at least 10 persons, are received on this application, DEQ will provide a public hearing. Requests for hearing need to clearly identify the air quality concerns about the draft permit. Requests for hearing must be in writing and must be received by January 4, 2013.
The Department will review all information received during the public review period. Following this review, the permit may be modified. The proposed permit will then be forwarded to EPA for comment prior to issuance.

NOTICE OF NO FURTHER ACTION
June 27, 2012
Proposed No Further Action for RK Wilson Property
COMMENTS DUE: 5 p.m., Monday, July 30, 2012
PROJECT LOCATION: RK Wilson Property at 7360 Pointer Road and 7385 SW Canyon Lane Beaverton, OR
PROPOSAL: The Department of Environmental Quality invites public comment on DEQ’s proposal to issue a No Further Action determination for the site, following completion of remedial actions at the RK Wilson Property.
HIGHLIGHTS: The site is located in the West Slope neighborhood in Beaverton, Oregon, between Highway 26 to the north and Canyon Lane. Historical site use included rural residential and agricultural land uses, and greenhouse operations on a portion of the site from the 1930s until 2005. Mr. Ronnie Wilson purchased the site in 2005 and demolished the greenhouses.
The Tualatin Parks and Recreation District plans to purchase the site for future development as a neighborhood park.
Site investigations in 2011 to 2012 resulted in the excavation and disposal of 435 tons of soils that exceeded residential risk based concentrations for arsenic. All remaining surface soils are below pesticide and metals relevant risk criteria for residential exposures.
Ground water sampled from an onsite well did not exceed risk standards but exceeded DEQ’s arsenic drinking water standard. However it was below federal standards. Shallow ground water from an onsite irrigation well is not currently used and future groundwater use is unlikely due to city water availability.
Based on the review of site information, DEQ proposes that no further action is required to address environmental contamination at the site.
HOW TO COMMENT: To review project records, contact Dawn Weinberger at 503 229-6729. Send written comments by 5 p.m., July 30, to Project Manager, Jim Orr at the Department of Environmental Quality, Northwest Region, 2020 SW 4th Avenue, Suite 400, Portland, OR 97201, orr.jim@deq.state.or.us. DEQ will hold a public meeting to receive verbal comments if review is requested by 10 or more people or by a group with a membership of 10 or more. The DEQ staff report for this site is at:
http://www.deq.state.or.us/Webdocs/Forms/Output/FPController.ashx?SourceId=5281&SourceIdType=11
THE NEXT STEP: DEQ will consider all comments received and make a final decision after consideration of these comments.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED APPROVAL OF CLEANUP
February 28, 2012
Proposed Approval of Cleanup
at Former Coe Manufacturing Site in Tigard
Comments due: 5 p.m., Friday, March 30, 2012
Project location: 7930 SW Hunziker Road, Tigard, OR
Proposal: The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality seeks comments on a proposed approval of a cleanup of petroleum, metals and polychlorinated biphenyls, commonly known as PCBs, contamination at the former Coe Manufacturing –Front Parcel site in Tigard.
Highlights: Tests conducted in the 1990s found that concentrations of metals, petroleum and PCBs in site soils exceeded protective criteria established by DEQ. Tests of sediment in Redrock Creek, a tributary of Fanno Creek, from 2007 to 2011, showed elevated concentrations of PCBs and a few metals above protective criteria. Tests of soils and sediment showed that releases were from upland areas of the site, south of the large factory building and that sediment contamination was coming from stormwater runoff from that area. The site owners entered into DEQ’s Voluntary Cleanup Program in November 2006. Between November 2006 and December 2012, the owners completed several investigations to evaluate the nature and extent of the contamination. In 2010 and 2011, the owners removed 546 tons of contaminated upland soils and sediments. Post-removal analysis demonstrates that upland soils no longer present a threat to Redrock Creek sediments from runoff or to current and future site workers through direct contact. Post-removal sediment samples show that concentrations of lead, zinc and PCBs are still present at levels that pose a risk to aquatic species. DEQ has concluded that while significant improvement resulted from the sediment removal action, that there are likely other sites that contributed to sediment contamination. Based on these findings, DEQ has determined that no cleanup action is required for the upland portions of the site and that no further investigation or remediation by the site owners is needed for sediments.
How to comment: Send comments by 5 p.m., Friday, March 30, 2012, to DEQ Project Manager Chuck Harman at DEQ’s Northwest Region Office at 2020 SW Fourth Ave., Suite 400, Portland, OR 97201, harman.charles@deq.state.or.us, or fax to 503-229-6899
To review the project file, call Dawn Weinberger at 503-229-6729 for an appointment.
To access site summary information and other documents in DEQ’s Environmental Cleanup Site Information database, go to www.deq.state.or.us/lq/ECSI/ecsi.htm, then enter ‘983’ in the Site ID box and click “Submit” at the bottom of the page. Next, click the link labeled ‘983’ in the Site ID/Info column.
The next step: The DEQ project manager will review all comments received and determine if a no further action determination and project closure is appropriate. If DEQ receives no comments that warrant delaying a no further action decision, DEQ will issue a final letter confirming the decision.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLEANUP
February 28, 2012
Proposed Cleanup Approval for Former Koch’s Cleaners
COMMENTS DUE: March 30, 2012
PROJECT LOCATION: 12720 SW Canyon Road,
Beaverton, OR
PROPOSAL: The Department of Environmental Quality invites public comment on a proposed no further action decision for the former Koch’s Cleaners site.
HIGHLIGHTS: The 3.6-acre site is currently occupied by a commercial building fronting SW Canyon Road, and a single family residence to the south fronting SW Broadway Street. Surrounding land use is commercial. From the 1950s to 1980s
the eastern portion of the commercial building was used by a succession of dry cleaners, during which releases from the dry cleaning machine and solvent storage tanks occurred. Tanks were removed in 1994, identifying groundwater contamination. Environmental investigation and cleanup actions were performed at the site between 1994 and 2011, including multiple phases of in-situ-groundwater treatment. Contaminants in groundwater have decreased with treatment, and are currently below DEQ risk-based concentrations or RBCs. Solvent levels in air within the building, and soil vapor below the building floor are likewise below DEQ screening values. DEQ has therefore determined that residual contamination at the site does not pose a risk to public health or the environment. Contaminants in deeper groundwater extend approximately 150 feet north of the site, but do not represent a risk to off-site properties or their users. DEQ will issue a No Further Action determination following this public notice period.
HOW TO COMMENT: Site files are available for public review at DEQ’s Northwest Region Office in Portland. To schedule an appointment to review files please call (503) 229- 6729. The DEQ Project Manager is Daniel Hafley, (503) 229- 5417. Send written comments to the Project Manager, DEQ, Northwest Region, 2020 SW 4th Ave., Portland, OR 97201 or hafley.dan@deq.state.or.us by March 30, 2012.
THE NEXT STEP: DEQ will consider all public comments and the Northwest Cleanup Section Manager will make and publish the final decision after consideration of these comments.
