Site contamination from former wood treating operation...did the Port pay its fair share?
In February 2019, a court decision was made that assigned cleanup costs for a contaminated site, however the decision demonstrates multiple challenges with fairly splitting response costs and displays important strategic maneuvering which often occurs between responsible parties, public officials and regulatory agencies. This white paper reviews this decision and the remedial efforts and public funding arrangements
