PORT ANGELES — The state Department of Ecology announced today that it has signed a new cleanup agreement with Rayonier Properties LLC.
The agreement, known as an agreed order, outlines a three-year time line for a plan for cleaning up its 75-acre former mill site and 1,325 acres of harbor sediment.
The time line is considered too lengthy by the city of Port Angeles and Port Angeles Harbor-Works Development Authority. Both requested that it be shortened.
In its response to comments during the public participation period, Ecology wrote that the time line remains the same.
Ecology has overseen cleanup of the site since 2000.
Rayonier officials signed the agreement in January.
Rayonier Properties LLC is the property management firm of Rayonier Inc.
