INTRODUCTION Ecology and Environment, Inc. (E & E) was tasked by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide technical support for completion of a preliminary assessment (PA) at the Willamette Falls Dam - Sullivan Power Plant (SPP) located in West Linn, Oregon. E & E completed PA activities under Technical Direction Document Number 04-11-0005, issued under EPA, Region 10; Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START)-2 Contract Number 68-SO-O 1-01. The specific goals for the SPP PA, identified by the EPA, are: • Determine the potential threat to public health or the environment posed by the site; • Determine the potential for a release of hazardous constituents into the environment; and • Determine the potential for placement of the site on the National Priorities List. Completion of the PA included reviewing existing site information, collecting receptor information within the range of site influence, determining regional characteristics, and conducting a site visit. This document includes a discussion of background site information (Section 2), a discussion of migration/exposure pathways and potential receptors (targets; Section 3), conclusions (Section 4), and a list of pertinent references (Section 5). !O:START-2\041 l0005\S992 1-1 2.

The facility is situated on a basalt island in the Willamette River. The West Linn Paper Company also is located on this basalt island. Buildings owned by this entity are located on either side of the SPP. The waterway on the north side of the basalt island is the Willamette Falls Locks, which are owned and operated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The plant is accessed by crossing a single-lane draw bridge spanning the locks, then passing directly through West Linn Paper Company's loading docks to the power plant. No other access route to the plant exists. The facility consists of a single building housing 13 turbines for power generation; and associated equipment (Figure 2-2). Several transformers are located outside on the northeast end of the building on the siphon spillway deck. 2.3 OWNERSHIP HISTORY The SPP is part of the Willamette Falls Project which is composed of two separate hydroelectric generating facilities: Station A located on the east side of the Willamette Falls and Station B which is the SPP, located on the west side of the Willamette Falls. The project first opened with Station A in 1889 followed by the opening of Station B, or SPP, in 1895. Station B was originally opened and operated by the Willamette Falls Electric Company, the predecessor to PGR (PGE 2004) 2.4 SITE OPERA TIO NS AND WASTE CHARACTERISTICS Construction of the SPP began in 1893 with the first generating units in service by the end of 1895. Between 1897 and 1927, the SPP was improved with a series of equipment additions and modifications. In 1952, the SPP was shut down, and over the next year was renovated. The SPP today is much the same as it was in 1953. (PGE 2005) The SPP has 13 hydroelectric turbines. Each of the 13 turbines has a separate water intake at the forebay which is located in the navigational canal to the locks. Water passing through the turbines discharges to the tailrace in a cul-de-sac area near the base of the Willamette Falls, then to the Willamette River. The SPP has a fish bypass ladder and fish counter/evaluator facilities which are operated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. (PGE 2004) 10:START-2\04110005\S992 2-2 The 13 turbines each have a separate hydraulically operated wicket gate which regulates the flow of water to the turbine. Possibl~ drips and/or leaks from the hydraulics, and water condensation from the turbines, is collected in sumps (one for each turbine) and routed via a concrete trough to a single oil/water separator. Water in the separator drains to a sump, then to the Willamette River. The sump is equipped with an alarm that indicates when the sump is operating outside of normal conditions (PGE 2004 ). These conditions include inadequate operation of the submersible sump pump, higher than normal plant drainage, or a high river water level (PGE 2004). Power generated by the facility is fed through a 16-Megawatt (MW) primary transformer via a single transmission line to a power switchyard and substation located on a bluff above the plant to the north (PGE 2004)~ In July and August 2003, inspectors for the EPA Office of Environmental Assessment visited the plant to determine compliance with Federal polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) regulations promulgated pursuant to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA; Nye 2004).

Weisman and Paula Shorf National Museum of the Great Lakes 1701 Front Street, Toledo, Ohio 43605 Welcome, The Great Lakes are not only the most important natural resource in the world, they represent thousands of years of history. The lakes have dramatically impacted the social, economic and political history of the North American continent. The National Museum of the Great Lakes tells the incredible story of our Great Lakes through over 300 genuine artifacts, a number of powerful audiovisual displays and 40 hands-on interactive exhibits including the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. The tales told here span hundreds of years, from the fur traders in the 1600s to the Underground Railroad operators in the 1800s, the rum runners in the 1900s, to the sailors on the thousand-footers sailing today. The theme of the Great Lakes as a Powerful Force runs through all of these stories and will create a lifelong interest in all who visit from 5 – 95 years old. Toledo and the surrounding area are full of early American History and great places to visit. The Battle of Fallen Timbers, the War of 1812, Fort Meigs and the early shipbuilding cities of Perrysburg and Maumee promise to please those who have an interest in local history. A visit to the world-class Toledo Art Museum, the fine dining along the river, with brew pubs and the world famous Tony Packo’s restaurant, will make for a great visit.

Marshall FREQUENTLY CLOSE TO THE POINT OF PERIL: A HISTORY OF BUOYS AND TENDERS IN U.S. COASTAL WATERS 1789-1939. Under the direction of Dr. John Tilley East Carolina University Department of History April 1997 The purpose of this thesis is to provide insight into the establishment and administration of the many incarnations of the light house service of the United States, and demonstrate how changes in personalities involved as well as available technological advances were instrumental in providing the conduit for change in buoy and buoy tender designs. While a number of authors have treated the subject of lighthouses, no secondary source has treated the history of minor aids to navigation, the class to which buoys belong. The thesis chronicles the administrative changes of the light house service in the United States under the Fifth Auditor Stephen Pleasanton, the Light House Board, and, finally, the Light House Bureau under George Putnam in the early 20th century. The organization and personalities of the service are reflected in changes to minor aids to navigation as technological advances were applied to buoy and buoy tender designs and construction.
