    DEQ SITE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM - STRATEGY RECOMMENDATION Site Name: Diversified Marine, Inc. Site CERCLIS Number: (none) DEQ ECSI Number: 3759 Site Address: 1801 N Marine Drive Portland, OR 97217 Recommendation By: Steve Fortuna, Site Assessment Section, DEQ Northwest Region Approved By: Sally Puent, Northwest Region Manager for Solid Waste and Site Assessment Sections Date: July 3, 2003 Background and History The subject site is an approximate 0.8 acre parcel in North Portland, on the south shore of North Portland Harbor, about 500 feet west of the Interstate Highway 5 (I-5) bridge over North Portland Harbor (see Figures 1 and 2). Diversified Marine, Inc., has conducted tug boat and barge building, repair, sandblasting, painting, machine shop, bilge removal, and boat and equipment refueling activities at the site under various names since at least 19901. Work is performed inside of an onshore building, on vessels moored in the river along the site, and in a 200-ton floating dry dock at the site. The site first came to the attention of Site Assessment in January 2003 during an evaluation of the adjoining Former Schooner Creek Boat Works site (ECSI #3526; see Figure 3). Between 1991 and 2002, DEQ received a series of Pollution Complaints alleging that boat building and repair activities at the neighboring Former Schooner Creek Boat Works site were releasing petroleum, solvents, fiberglass dust, and paint wastes, that might threatened water quality in North Portland Harbor (the Columbia River). Several of the reported releases were verified through DEQ follow-up inspections although no source could be located for some of the 1 Diversified Marine, Inc., (Kurt Redd, corporate president) was formed in 1986.
