ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–8248–7] 

Proposed Agreement and Covenant 

Not To Sue for the Portland Harbor 

Superfund Site, Triangle Park Removal 

Area, and the McCormick & Baxter, Inc. 

Superfund Site, Portland, Multnomah 

County, OR 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed agreement; 

request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response Compensation, and Liability 

Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq. (‘‘CERCLA’’), 

notice is hereby given of the proposed 

Agreement between the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’) and the University of Portland 

(‘‘University’’), subject to the final 

review and approval of the EPA and the 

U.S. Department of Justice. The 

proposed Agreement relates to the 

University’s plan to expand its campus 

by purchasing two adjacent properties, 

one currently owned by Triangle Park 

LLC at 5828 N. Van Houten Place, 

Portland, and the other currently owned 

by McCormick & Baxter, Inc. at 6900 

Edgewater, Portland (the ‘‘Properties’’). 

The Properties are contiguous with the 

Willamette River. The University is 

certifying that it did not cause or 

contribute to the contamination at either 

the Portland Harbor or McCormick & 

Baxter Sites. The Agreement provides 

for the University to spend $3 million 

conducting a non-time critical removal 

action on the Triangle Park property. 

The University seeks to continue to 

pursue and expand its educational and 

service mission by relocating certain 

athletic facilities, freeing up its existing 

land for construction of academic 

buildings. The University’s plan 

includes public access to the Properties, 

and recreational opportunities, 

including a planned riverfront trail. In 

addition to conducting the $3 million 

removal action, the University will pay 

EPA’s costs of overseeing that removal 

action. In exchange for this 

consideration, the proposed Agreement 

contains the United States’ conditional 

covenant not to sue the University for 

existing contamination at the Sites. The 

covenant is subject to certain 

reservations set forth in the Agreement. 

In addition, the proposed Agreement 

provides protection from third-party law 

suits for contribution. In order for the 

University to purchase the Triangle Park 

property by the closing date in the 

agreement for the purchase of that 

property (December 31, 2006), EPA is 

allowing just over fifteen (15) days for 

public comment on the Agreement. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted by 

December 18, 2006. EPA and the 

Department of Justice will consider all 

comments received and may modify or 

withdraw the Agreement if comments 

received or any other information 

indicates that such action is 

appropriate. 

ADDRESSES: The proposed agreement is 

available for public inspection at the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region 10 Office located at 1200 Sixth 

Avenue, in Seattle, Washington 98101.
