New hearing on Rayonier cleanup project set for Wednesday

PORT ANGELES — A new state Department of Ecology open house on the Rayonier pulp mill cleanup project will be held in Linkletter Hall at Olympic Medical Center, 939 Caroline St., from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Ecology officials are seeking public comment on an amendment to the company’s agreed order.

The amendment outline roles and responsibilities of Rayonier and the city of Port Angeles while pipeline trenches — about a mile — are dug on the property for the city’s $41.7 million combined sewer overflow project.

An Ecology presentation will be at 7 p.m. followed by a question-and-answer session.

The agency is accepting public comments on the amendment through 
Sept. 5.

The CSO project is intended to reduce stormwater and raw sewage overflows into Port Angeles Harbor that total about 32 million gallons annually.
