FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Alexander Fidis, Assistant Regional 

Counsel, U.S. EPA Region 10, Mail Stop

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Circle 

DE Lumber Site is located in Klamath 

Falls, Oregon (Site). Wood treating 

operations were conducted at the Site 

using a dip tank containing 

pentachlorophenol. These operations 

and others resulted in the release of 

hazardous substances including, but not 

limited to, pentachlorophenol, dioxin, 

diesel, poly aromatic hydrocarbons, 

total petroleum hydrocarbons, and 

metals. These hazardous substances 

were detected in soil and groundwater 

at the Site. The Agency conducted a 

time-critical removal action at the Site 

in February 2006 that involved 

removing the dip tank and associated 

structures, excavation and disposal of 

437 cubic yards of contaminated soil, 

and the installation of monitoring wells 

to determine the extent of groundwater 

contamination. The Agency incurred 

approximately $605,834 in response 

costs at the Site. 

The Site is currently owned by Mr. 

and Mrs. Daniel G. and V. Elouise 

Brown. Mr. Brown operated the Site as 

a lumber mill between 1975 and 2000 

and currently leases the Site as a staging 

area for equipment. The entities 

associated with Mr. Brown’s Site 

operations include the Circle DE 

Lumber Company and Francis D. Brown 

& Son Logging, Inc. The Agency 

determined that settling parties have 

limited financial ability to pay the 

response costs incurred at the Site. 

Therefore, the Agency is proposing to 

enter into an administrative settlement 

that would require the settling parties to 

record an easement and equitable 

servitude as an institutional control for 

the Site, and to execute an agreement 

assigning the rights under certain 

insurance policies issued to the settling 

parties to an Environmental Trust 

established for the benefit of the 

Agency. The proposed settlement will 

release the settling parties from liability 

for past response costs incurred by the 

Agency subject to certain reserved 

rights.
