The schedule per the PPA Scope of Work (SOW), is as follows: The remedial actions will be phased to address higher priority areas first (identified above) and immediate redevelopment needs. Lower priority objectives, such as abatement or containment of non- friable hazardous building materials, removal or capping of onsite contamination determined not to be an immediate threat to human health or the environment, and areas associated with longer term redevelopment horizons, would be addressed as funding becomes available and redevelopment of the property occurs. A conceptual/flexible timeline for redevelopment of the property, including for the associated environmental investigations and remediation needed to facilitate the planned phased development will be prepared. Such timeline is anticipated to consist of: 1. Prepare an Initial Summary Report within 60 days from date of signed Consent Order. The report will summarize previous environmental investigations. It shall include at a minimum, a screening of site data against risk-based criteria, a conceptual site model (including a conceptual site hydrogeologic model), a discussion of data gaps needed to complete a site characterization in accordance OAR 340-122-0080, identification of potential interim remedial measures, source control recommendations, and conclusions.

Any republication, retransmission, reproduction, or sale of all or part of this curriculum is prohibited. Introduction Welcome to the Grand Ronde Tribal History curriculum unit. We are thankful that you are taking the time to learn and teach this curriculum to your class. This unit has truly been a journey. It began as a pilot project in the fall of 2013 that was brought about by the need in Oregon schools for historically accurate and culturally relevant curriculum about Oregon Native Americans and as a response to countless requests from Oregon teachers for classroom- ready materials on Native Americans. The process of creating the curriculum was a Tribal wide effort. It involved the Tribe’s Education Department, Tribal Library, Land and Culture Department, Public Affairs, and other Tribal staff. The project would not have been possible without the support and direction of the Tribal Council. As the creation was taking place the Willamina School District agreed to serve as a partner in the project and allow their fourth grade teachers to pilot it during the 2013-2014 academic year. It was also piloted by one teacher from the Pleasant Hill School District. Once teachers began implementing the curriculum, feedback was received regarding the effectiveness of lesson delivery and revisions were made accordingly. The teachers allowed Tribal staff to visit during the lessons to observe how students responded to the curriculum design and worked after school to brainstorm new strategies for the lessons and provide insight from the classroom teacher perspective.
