Harbor Oil Inc.

Site Summary

Harbor Oil, located at 11535 N. Force Avenue, in Portland, Oregon, was added to the U.S. EPA’s National Priorities List in September 2003. Soil at the site is contaminated with oil, gas, diesel, metals, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s), and other hazardous substances. Contamination from the site may pose a risk to Force Lake and adjacent wetlands. EPA is currently overseeing a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to learn more about contamination at the Harbor Oil site and determine what needs to be done to protect people and wildlife. A waste oil reprocessing facility is currently operating on the site.

Community Updates

Interested community members have formed the Harbor Oil Community Advisory Group (HOCAG) to learn about contamination at the site, and help EPA by sharing information about their issues and concerns. In June 2007, EPA awarded a technical assistance grant to the Harbor Oil Community Advisory Group. The grant funds will be used mainly to pay technical advisors to review and provide comments on technical documents about the site. The HOCAG meets monthly on the second Thursday. Contact HOCAG chairman, Mark Stephan (360) 546-9467, or (971) 645-9113, or at stephanm@vancouver.wsu.edu.
